WOMEN WELL SUITED FOR ADVENT
Comments(0) I have a tough time relating properly to Advent. I guess I can blame this on the culture, which so hypes Christmas that Advent is eclipsed. Besides, there is no place in the culture for the Church’s Advent, with its spiritual significance. We get along quite well without spiritual significance, thank you very much!
On the same day I heard two opposite statements, that Advent is and is not penitential. Maybe the big league thinkers will slug that one out. Women, with license to change their minds unaccountably, might be more comfortable between these two stools.
Also with waiting, planning, preparing, anticipating, decorating, wreaths, candles, garments, colors and going to Confession.
Men do well at buying, hauling home, and setting up the tree.
