Seneca said, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” The idea, of course, is that luck doesn’t just happen on its own. We appear to get "lucky" because we were actually well-prepared. During this season of Advent, no matter how far we may have “strayed,” we have the grace to prepare ourselves. And whether we’re preparing for the Incarnation or the end times, our God is ready and willing to give us a hand!
