First Saturday of Advent


“For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven . . .”1st Thessalonians 4:16

in the baby’s tiny
fist grasping its mom’s finger;
in the purring of a kitten
that lulls us to sleep;
in the tiptoes of
a teenager creeping off early
to school each morning;
in every breath
   of peace,
every whisper
   of hope,
every sigh
   of grace,
you come . . .
