Advent: unveiling of the light

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; this one was in the beginning with God; all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened. In him was life, and the life was the light of men, and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.

As we have entered Advent season, let us remember that the coming of the Christ is not so much the entering of a new light into the world as it is the unveiling of a light that has always been with us. The darkness around us becomes transparent and its inner glow, eternally visible to the heart alone, endows us with the possibility of love.
