One
of the essential paradoxes of Advent: that while we wait for God, we are with
God all along, that while we need to be reassured of God’s arrival, or the
arrival of our homecoming, we are already at home. While we wait, we have to trust, to have
faith, but it is God’s grace that gives us that faith. As with all spiritual knowledge, two things
are true, and equally true, at once. The
mind can’t grasp paradox; it is the knowledge of the soul.
