Fr. Nathan discusses the spiritual season of Advent.

-Waiting in joyful hope
-Why call Good Friday good? Because it turns into Easter morning.
-Hope is always about the future and thus contains some unreality because the       
  future  hasn’t happened yet.
-Joyful anticipation about a loved one’s planned visit.
-Pregnancy as a major Advent theme: a mixture of excitement, nervousness, pain, and    the welcoming of a new life.
-What is in me that seems like new growth? How will it make the world better?
-An amaryllis bulb as a living advent calendar.
