As we move into the season of Advent, many of us will have trouble becoming part of the anticipation of Christ in this part of the Liturgical Year. Perhaps it is our learning that gets in the way. Maybe we have become weary of the literal meaning of the birth narratives, and have not yet found a way to incorporate Myth and metaphor properly into our thoughts and meditations during this wonderful time.
Try this. Think to yourself "The Christ that arrives for me at the end of this Advent will be the Christ I will carry with me the rest of the Liturgical year". Then spend Advent simply meditating on who Jesus is to you, and celebrate his coming.
