Advent is about dreaming of a future where God will be with us, wiping every tear from the eye, where death and mourning and crying and pain will be no more. The meaning of Christmas exists only in the context of our hopes and dreams, hopes and dreams for a better world. We wait for Christ because we long for the better world only God can inaugurate. Advent is a time, then, to enlarge our hopes, to dream our own dreams, both for the world and for our own little corners of it. Advent Journeying Advent is a time for dreaming, and yet we also know that Advent is a time for journeying .
Advent is a time for dreaming, and it is also a time for journeying.
Let us, then, make our pilgrimage to Christ s table, there to be at peace with each other, and with our God.
