I hate to wait on the phone while listening to all the great things the airline promises me or while listening to a local radio station's deejay accosting me. Nevertheless, as a Christian believer, I must wait, like all of us who waited for the election results. The difference between my personal waiting and what happened in November is that we waited as a nation. There was the Jewish nation who waited to be liberated from the pharaoh, or the African Americans who waited for the implementation of civil rights and whose wait is no way near over. Although I hate to admit it, waiting is a way of life, especially if one is waiting for the coming of Jesus, the kingdom, and the beatific vision.
Advent provides the liturgy and Scripture for that wait.
The hope for us, however, is we know what we are waiting for and can't wait to see it. But, we will wait. For Job Opportunities at GIA, click here.
