“The days are surely coming” says the prophet Jeremiah. That is the same phrase uttered at this time of year by every hopeful yet haggard retailer and every expectant school-age child, though for completely different reasons. The days are surely coming for all of us…but what kind of days will these Advent days of 2009 be?
I want to invite you to step into these waiting days of Advent considering them UNEXPECTED and MYSTERIOUS. The days are unexpected because no one expected God to fulfill the promise with the birth of a baby in the manger. And truly, what is more mysterious than the infinite God contained in the finite, swaddle-wrapped child?
Join me as we, the community of St. John’s, look, listen and wait with new eyes, ears and heart for the unexpected and mysterious that surrounds us in these days.
