We are invited to ponder with childlike trust the beauty and mystery of the incarnation during the holy season of Advent. A gift is bestowed upon us that is much greater than anything available in the marketplace. We hear God's words of promise to us: 'When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart' (Jeremiah 29:13). God wishes to renew our hearts, our churches and our world. He desires that we are deeply in tune with what is really important and sacred in our lives - the presence of the holy. We are invited to savour this presence ever more deeply, to share the light of his grace with others and to rejoice!
