Advent means arrival or coming. During this sacred
season, we actively recall the arrival of Jesus as the Word made flesh,
and we joyfully await his final return at the end of the age. But as we
remember the past and anticipate the future, we are also attentive to
our divine encounters in the present, the ways God “arrives” in our
everyday lives. Amy Ekeh’s Advent, Season of Divine Encounter
helps us look closely at three key Scripture passages to recall,
recognize, and anticipate the ways God comes into our lives and our
world.
