“He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.” (Luke 1:51) Advent calls us to live in the tension of already and the not yet, a season between. We progressively welcome the light one week, one candle at a time, cutting through the darkness, uncovering the gritty realities of life. This gradual illumination helps us be truthful with God and ourselves. Things are not as they should or could be. Meanwhile, we prepare for when God will do something about it.
