"But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into Him who is the head, even Christ."
Ephesians 4:15
"The [Advent] season gives voice to the impatience God's people feel at least from time to time but which they may be hesitant to express to God. The purpose of Advent is to rouse once again in the people of the Church the anticipation of the End and of the great Day of the Lord, and to bid them to be prepared for it."
Philip H. Phatteicher, Journey into the Heart of God
