A Reflection on Waiting

Emilie Wolf, Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception Associate, Paterson, NJ, offers a reflection on "Waiting":

I think sometimes we get confused. And one of the things we confuse is waiting and anticipation. In Luke we read about Annah, the widowed woman who lived her life in prayer and fasting in the temple, waiting... What does that mean?

I remember visiting my parents in Santa Fe early one summer. My Dad asked one if his mechanics is there would be a dance at the Pueblo that weekend. "No," was the reply. Late that Friday evening the man called and said, "We will dance this weekend. You can come. But you can tell no-one."
