A long-awaited Advent

I have so enjoyed spending the last few evenings reflecting on the Office of Readings with my bride. We have been combining the Evening Prayer psalms with the longer reflections from the OoR, and I hope she has enjoyed it as much as I have.

Today's reading from St. Bernard is one of my favorites. I have written a little about it thrice before, and will not quote it again here. It was especially nice to be able to share my enjoyment of it with my dear wife.

This is one of the readings that I look forward to encountering year after year, each time entering into it a little deeper than the time before. Bringing someone else I love into this one with me was a special treat.
