Monet to Matisse by Richard Thomson
THE FIFTH CANDLE OF ADVENT. Meditations for each day This book offers a meditation for each day of the Advent guiding us in our journey toward Christmas. The Advent Wreath has four candles that we light as Christmas approaches. They remind us that it is time to put before God the shadows that inhabit our life: a project full of uncertainties, the bumps we are hitting in our relationship, a disease. But on the horizon of Advent the hope of a fifth candle remains, the only one capable of lighting our night. This candle must be lit by God. The great mystery of Advent is not our path, but the path of God towards us, a God that comes. He is always coming to meet us. In Advent we prepare to recognize the light of that candle which will shine on the night of Christmas. Its brilliance will fill us with wonder because of its smallness. These meditations are meant to be a path of hope and to help us recognize the light of that fifth candle as we keep our eyes opened to receive it.
