ADVENT assures us that Someone is coming who will fill our lives
with everything we are looking for...
The
LORD is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?
The
LORD is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27:
1-2
"Let
your door stand open to receive Him, unlock
your
soul to Him, offer Him a welcome in your mind,
and
then you will see the riches of simplicity,
the treasures of peace, the joy of
grace.
Throw
wide the gate of your heart,
stand before
the sun of the everlasting light."

Prayer of St Ambrose
Lord, teach me to seek You,
and reveal Yourself to me when I seek You.
For I cannot seek You unless You first teach me,
nor find You unless You first reveal Yourself to me.
Let me seek You in longing and long for You in seeking.
Let me find You in love, and love You in finding.
