Most years, I live in the joy of advent. The thrill of Christmas with all its sights, sounds, smells—it is all life to my soul. But this year feels different. This year, I feel an ache.

This place of connection is the place where truth and wisdom break in. So I lifted a question. Why is connection so important to you, God? Connection with you, with ourselves, with others? The response came—every point of connection is a connection with him. God in us. God in others. God in everything he’s made. Not in a pantheistic, the tree is God, kind of way. But in a sacramental, seeing and touching the holy, kind of way.
