The promises we anticipate
during Advent are promises that the world as we know it will be
overturned. "Prepare the way!"
we are exhorted. "Make straight His paths." We are not only to await the Coming in joyful
anticipation, we are to participate in it as well…
All of creation is embarked
on that slow journey homeward to its final consummation. And humankind, as "homo adorans,"
of all the creatures the one designed to worship and adore, is called to
consciously chart and pilot that movement home.
