“Advent is a time for making a fearless inventory of the darkness.”

“For Christians, Christmas is a celebration of Jesus’ birth — that light has come into darkness and, as the Gospel of John says,“the darkness could not overcome it.”But Advent bids us first to pause and to look, with complete honesty, at that darkness.” - Tish Warren
