With all the premature hustle and bustle of businesses, media, entertainment and people in general already in the Christmas spirit, Advent offers us the chance to slow down, set aside the noise and distractions, and become attune to the subtle voice of the Lord. The Holy Spirit is ready to assist us, if we let Him. Who knows, maybe our demeanour and example will peak the interest of others and become an opportunity for us to lovingly witness to them in response.
