Advent, Adventus, Arrival
“The first day of Advent is our Christian New Year’s Day…we begin our Christian year in waiting. The word advent derives from the Latin adventus, which means ‘coming’. The liturgical season of Advent is the time in which we prepare for and look forward to the coming of Christ.” –Tish Harrison Warren, Advent: The Season of Hope
“The whole purpose of Advent is to be for a moment fully and consciously Before Christ.” -Malcolm Guite

The Word was God

Waiting with Hope
