RORATE CÆLI: Fontgombault Sermon for the First Sunday in Advent: “God is He who is, and for us, from the very first moment of Creation, He also is He who is to come.”

‘Waiting’ too often implies a negative note. One waits for some- thing, for an event because it’s not yet there, because it’s dragging on: a delayed train, the water or gas bill with a potentially worry- ing amount, the monthly wage… He who waits is never far from showing impatience. Very often, he who waits spends his time, and finally squanders it, since what he considers is himself, more than the thing or the event he’s waiting for.
