In the concluding chapter of the Book or Revelation, chapter 22, we find a symbolic picture of what awaits us "on the other side". Crystal water, ever blooming and producing trees; night will be no more, the sun will no longer be needed, for all light will come from God who will reign forever and ever. It goes beyond our imagination and certainly beyond our experience: our thirst slaked, hunger satisfied, eternal day, pure contentment. (cf. Rev 22:1-7). A fitting reflection for the last day of the liturgical year and the eve of Advent. With darkness encroaching upon us earlier and earlier each day in the Northern Hemisphere, the promise of "no more night" is most appealing, as are the other promises. God certainly knows us and what makes us happy. Indeed, These words are trustworthy and true, and the Lord, the God of prophetic spirits sent his angel to show his servants what must happen soon... "Behold I am coming soon." Blessed is the one who keeps the prophetic message of this book. (Rv 22: 6-7)
A prayerful, fruitful and blessed Advent to all.
