"The Lord is coming, always coming. When you have ears to hear and eyes to see, you will recognize him at any moment of your life. Life is Advent; life is recognizing the coming of the Lord." (Henri Nouwen)

How attentive are we to the coming of the Lord in the present moment? Do we have the spiritual eyes to see and the spiritual ears to hear the Lord in one another? Remember when Jesus said: "What you did to the least one of these, you did to me." Who was he referring to? The poor, the hungry, the thirsty, the sick, the homeless, the refugee, the imprisoned, the marginalized among us. To greet him when  he comes at Christmas, we need to be attentive to his coming in the present moment.
