Lucia Silecchia on Advent and a Joyful Anticipation of Christmas

". . . Through the eyes of a child, the days of December drag on, with a slow march toward the glory of Christmas -- a march filled with excitement and joyful expectation. Through the eyes of adults, however, Christmas arrives in a flash and flurry of activity, and the fleeting days of Advent can go unnoticed because they pass so quickly. . . .

"There is something to be learned from the joyful, unencumbered anticipation that children have as they wait, wonder and hope.."

In a recent commentary, writer/Professor Lucia A. Silecchia reflected on how children can teach us "much about what it means to wait with joy, and wait with readiness."
