What about Advent? Advent means "coming." The celebration of today, my dear brothers, wants to tell us that Jesus came. You replied: "But we already knew that, what's new ads? E 'old news, does not tell us anything!" But how ...." does not tell us anything! " Dear brothers, Jesus came two thousand years ago. He became man like us has fallen, has penetrated the layers of the universe and arrived in the heart of the earth. E 'become like us: human smile, suffering human, human language, the human face ... Jesus Christ has put the tent where we sleep, it has become our contubernalis. The Romans used to say so of their comrades, who were sleeping under the same tent contubernalis because they slept in pairs. E 'became, therefore, our tent mate. He sleeps with us, Jesus Christ! And it is our traveling companion: Walk with us, leave us alone! It has become our companion table, our diner. Therefore, dear brethren, should really fill your heart with joy, because all experience, from me, loneliness and suffering, abandonment, an inability to communicate with others, we experience the degradation, is not it? Who among us can say that the smile on his lips check that coincide with the smile of the soul? How many frills put our inner feelings ... so sometimes we have torn the soul and translate all this with a fleeting smile that turns off immediately!
