By Fr. Denis Wilde, OSA, Catholic Exchange - Instead of the “foolishness.. incredulity … darkness… despair” of the “worst” we’ll harvest “wisdom… belief… Light… hope” of the best of times. That’s what Advent does despite the growing darkness... It all begins with the Baby, “the everlasting Light” in such darkness. That demands a personal real-life choice, for “the hopes and fears of all the years are met” in that very Baby, not just “tonight” at Christmas, but until eternity. I’m banking on hope rather than fear. Are you?
