Any journey can wear us out. We usually start with the enthusiasm that naturally rises at the time of new beginnings, but after some time, we find ourselves running of energy. We face not only the external obstacles to our progress, but also our own human limitations, including problems that never occurred to us in the beginning ---- disappointment, boredom, bitterness, and conflicts with fellow travelers. We may even begin to wonder why we are on the journey in the first place, and whether we should bother to continue. Such experiences are part of the journey of the "Advent" season, and of the whole spiritual life as well. Advent give us precious words of encouragement, reminding us of the true source of our strength for the journey of life.♥
