Three of the four live hours and hours away, so I don't see them in person very often.

That's a nice summary of Advent for your grandkids, Phil. To me, Advent is about waiting. Waiting for God. But he is coming, coming, coming all the time - this is the great insight of Advent.

This Advent for me is all about St. Joseph. I'm praying with the first chapter of Matthew, contemplating Joseph, the man who says nothing in the Gospels, but his silence is so meaningful... | ||||
