Today is the last day of the O Antiphons. I sit here, purposely, carving out time to ponder this moment. I have the candles lit to help me feel the peace and calm that I am desperately seeking. These four weeks of Advent plus the three weeks prior have seemed more like Lent. This is the holy moment I have been craving for four weeks but not finding.
I have put my self above God. I have put my needs for my expectations over what God needs of me. As I slowly let go of control, I quickly grabbed onto God's hand and held tightly. I listened to praise and praise music, Advent music and tried to remember to pray the Liturgy of the Hours throughout the day. When I did that, I felt peace in my heart. I felt God.
Emmanuel.
God with us.
God with me.
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.
