My sincerest wishes for a joyful and fruitful Advent to everyone who reads here! If you can't watch the entire movie, please check out at least the first 12-15 minutes, including the scene in the fountain and the face painting scene. The scene in the fountain is one of the happiest "calls to newness" I can ever remember seeing. It captures the spirit of Advent with its focus on the coming of God into our midst and the newness of life that results, and is perfect for the first Sunday of Advent. For all of us, day by day, we come (or are brought) closer to Jesus and to the fullness of the truly human life we are made for. And day by day, we proclaim the Way of the Lord in our world.
