Waiting has been the main characteristic of man since he first appeared in the time-subjected world.
The Christian man knows that the one in whom love is born is filled from within, radiating from without. Just as when we see Jesus we see the Father. Can this unity be achieved in the maze of earthly life? Is there something waiting for us here to guide us? Is this what our distant ancestors believed when they prayed for God to reveal himself to them? The very act of waiting prepares the heart to receive the divine, as does fasting and prayer. The human condition is waiting. We are always waiting for something as long as we live.
Do we wait for almost everything, or is someone waiting for us somewhere?
