Steep yourselves in the meaning of these Advent days. And above all, pay heed to him who is approaching; think whence he comes and whither it is he advances; consider his purpose in coming, the ripeness of the times, the route he may choose for his approach… The Universal Church would not celebrate this Advent time with such solemnity of devotion did it not contain within it some great mystery.
--St. Bernard of Clairvaux
