The great Holy Door will be resealed, but we cannot seal the doors of our hearts. They must remain open so that we are always ready to welcome the Christ who continues to come to us. Advent is an appropriate time to recommit ourselves to this openness. The Holy One came in human form as a wondrous being, blessing our planet with his presence 2,000 years ago. Through his humanity he became a passageway for communion with the Holy One.
Advent is a season of opening doors.
It is a time to deepen and strengthen our relationship with the Holy One so that more of the divine presence within us shines through and offers a welcome to others. It is a season to open the doors of our hearts so that we can both give and receive this love. One of the ways we can do this is by seeing ourselves and others as doors through which the divine presence continually seeks an entrance. Someone's knocking Each of us has a sacred door. It is the place where we meet the Holy One in our midst.
