Monday, Advent Three - God’s Dream
“You must be men and women of ceaseless hope, because only tomorrow can today's human and Christian promise be realized; and every tomorrow will have its own tomorrow, world without end. Every human act, every Christian act, is an act of hope. But that means you must be men and women of the present, you must live this moment - really live it, not just endure it - because this very moment, for all its imperfection and frustration, because of its imperfection and frustration, is pregnant with all sorts of possibilities, his pregnant with the future, is pregnant with love, is pregnant with Christ.”
Walter J. Burghardt, Jesuit theologian, An Advent Sourcebook, page 81.
