“We who have so much to do seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day. We who worry about many things look forward to your coming among us. We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of your kingdom. We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence. We are your people, walking in darkness, yet always seeking the light.”
Henri Nouwen, Advent Prayer
