Thank you for sharing your inspiration. I am even more "awake" and ready to arise to the sacred task God has for me in this holy season - Fr.

It give much to ponder and yet is so beautifully written that everything becomes suddenly clear. - Liz Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:00:57 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/on-december-fools-day.html#comment-3587 thank you for this holy reflection. a dear priest recently said to me, \"I am convinced that that which is Eternal is only born of Silence.\" with that he encouraged me to culitivate more Silence this Advent...to make more room in this cave of my heart. and so i invite all my dear brothers and sisters at TCT to await with me with Her! knowing She carries us as She carried Him, awaiting GOD. Maranatha! - debby Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:54:17 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/on-december-fools-day.html#comment-3586 Wow! What a wonderful thing is this Incarnation! Yes. Other gods produced children. Venus gave birth to Aeneas, who, for example, found the Eternal City. The Scriptures say God made us in His own likeness. Our God decided to become, despite the Darwinian ethicist, a man, not a monkey or cow. And then the soul felt its worth. Unfortunately the very people He created killed Him after He founded the Eternal Jerusalem. Why did this happen? Perhaps I should spend four weeks thinking about this event. - Willie Tue, 01 Dec 2009 08:02:35 +0100
