Today we enter my favorite (liturgical) season of the year, Advent, where we keep watch for what is coming—glimmers of hope even as the days and their light grow shortest. Will you abide with me?
When I fall, I fall hard, carnally or spiritually. This questionable trait led me to blunder along blindly after a priest I thought to have ALL the answers. Turns out he was flawed much as we all are, and shame on me for expecting too much of him. He did leave me with a thought I often turn to when the light is hard to find. He said, "We already know the darkness doesn't win." I believe that, and I hold onto it because I know other believers, like you, are out there spreading the good word. Love you and all that you do.

Thank you! Looking forward to this!
