"The universal Church would not celebrate this Advent time with such solemnity of devotion did it not contain within it some great mystery." (St. Bernard)What is that mystery? Could one aspect be the coming of Jesus in the present moment? The people of his day did not recognize the God/Man when he first came. They saw only a man and thus rejected him or ignored him. As he comes among us today, will we be able to see him in one another and act accordingly? Or will we too see a stranger in the other and reject him or ignore him? "What you did to the least, you did to me."
