Advent is not four weeks of preparing for a birthday celebration. It comes to wake us up and realize our daily work is to see the coming of Jesus now....[T]he message of Jesus is that when our life is in ruins he is there. When sorrow breaks our hearts, he is there. The challenge of Advent is this--for us to live in such a way that others will believe they do not have to wait for Christmas. He is already here.
- Msgr. Gregory E.S. Malovetz
