Regem venturum Dominum, venite, adoremus”.
“Come, let us adore the King, the Lord, who is to come”.
How many times have we repeated these words
throughout the season of Advent, echoing the expectation of all humanity.
Straining towards the future from his very origins,
man thirsts for God, the fullness of life.
From the beginning he has invoked a Saviour to free him from evil and death,
to fulfil his need for happiness.
John Paul II Ubi et Orbi 1998
