so beautiful, so meaningful and as hopeful as we celebrate this, which is Advent. We hope, as expected by the arrival of the beloved wife, and mother to give birth. Who do we expect? Who has to show the positivity of life, who has words of life and shows us that we have been loved just because they want a loving father, not by our merits are rather poor. Christians know that this is just a time of good intentions, wishful thinking or giving gifts. Await the arrival of the Messiah, the Savior of mankind, Christ assumed our human condition to give us life abudant. At this time pagan, that kitsch has supplanted the mystic must to see this time as it is, a religious holiday.
To recapture this spirit, the liturgy presents us with the mystery to be lived and plunge into the eternal dialogue of love we participate through our membership of the People of God. The hymns of the liturgy of the hours I find a beautiful way to regain this sense, it shares one of the ones I like at this time. You have to be awake in case the husband arrives, we find watching.
This is the time you arrive,
Husband, so suddenly,
you invite to watch
and forget that those who sleep.
leave singing to your meeting
maidens with green branches and lamps
kept copious and clear oil.
How foolish beat the doors of your feast!
And how the cry in the dark
eyes that do not have to see you! Look
we alert
Spouse, if thou go, and is the heart
watching, eyes
while sleeping.
Give us a place at your table,
Love that come at night, before the night
end and the door is closed.
Amen.
