ADVENT - WONDER IN WAITING

This advent at Emmaus we are following The Common Rule’s “Habits of Light for a World of Darkness” daily reading guide. To help prepare our hearts in anticipation of the coming of our King.

Advent is the season where the church celebrates the King who has come, and waits for the King who is coming again. The holiday season is filled with rituals that seem to sparkle on the outside, but underneath aren't celebrating anything but consumerism. Further, they are often filled with such busyness that we end up spending the season cultivating perpetual rush rather than patient longing. We need a new set of rituals for Advent, and that is exactly what The Common Rule - Advent Edition! has in mind.
