St. Bernard professor, Dr. Matthew Pietropaoli, shares reflections on this sacred Advent season, noting that, "The heart which makes possible and is the place of the incarnation of eternal love spoken in and through us must be correspondingly deep and unencumbered so as to facilitate the advent of the Word of God (Logos) within it.... The true hallmark of the Christmas season is not so much falling in love and readily expressing it in words but more so the willingness to abandon ourselves to the open place within which serves as the present day manger of God’s Love born into the world."
