If Advent and its meditations and prayers for the coming of Christ aren’t quite your thing, then perhaps you will derive a similar degree of pleasure from the breathtaking Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar, assembled by Alan Taylor of The Boston Globe.
As for myself, I can’t help but marvel at the fact that God, who revealed Himself so majestically in the heavens, also chose to beget Himself as a lowly Son of Man, so that mankind, a thoroughly insignificant creature when compared to the vastness of Creation, could be reconciled with Him and receive an abundant and everlasting life.
(h/t The Anchoress)
