Today in “On the Square”, R. R. Reno reflects on The Incarnation and William Doino offers the words of Father Alfred Delp as Meditations for the End of Advent . Fr. Delp, executed by the Nazis in 1945, wrote, for example:
History now becomes the Son’s mode of existence; historical destiny becomes His destiny. He is to be encountered on our streets. In the darkest cellars and the loneliest prisons of life, we will meet Him. And that is already the first blessing and consecration of the burden: that He is to be met under its weight.
These are the last “On the Square” articles till Monday, and we hope they help you enjoy (in the full sense of the word, which includes chastening as well as joy, or rather includes the chastening that deepens joy) the last days of Advent and the celebration of the Incarnation.
