Br. Augustine Buckner, O.P., on the Changing Seasons and Advent

"Early Fall is delightfully deceiving. The golden light and turning leaves are signs of things to come. They promise apple picking, hikes, and cool nights by the bonfire. They promise joy just on the horizon. But the anticipation is always better than the fruition. And once they're had they flee. By December we're left wondering where the leaves (and the time) went. 

"Advent is well-timed with the changing of the seasons. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Brother Augustine Mary Buckner, O.P., reflected on how the season of Advent fits in with the transition from autumn to winter.
