Reflection on Advent

As we continue in the first week of Advent, the air is thick with hope and anticipation — a sentiment far deeper than the excitement of gifts under a decorated tree. For Christians, this season is a poignant reminder of the cyclical nature of the Incarnation, a profound event where the divine entered our world in a tangible way. In this period of reflection, we acknowledge we are not merely beings of flesh and bone but carriers of a divine spark; a sacred imprint that connects us to something greater. Our eternal souls are clothed in this fragile body.
