The Advent season comes to a climax as we get ready to celebrate the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. It is God's will to be with us -- not just temporarily or symbolically; but eternally and truly. In light of this, may we have the gift of reverence and awe, with the faith of a child. God became human, so that we humans could become (like) God.
