Advent Light (Threshold Bible Study)

Advent is a time for new understanding, for
putting different pieces of God's revelation
together to see the divine plan more clearly.
We listen to the words of the ancient prophets, to
the wisdom of Jesus, to the stories of his birth and
infancy, and we make connections. Then we
connect those truths to our own lives and our world
and see how God is acting anew, how God continues
to reveal the coming of Jesus today. Our best model
for this Advent search for understanding is
Mary of Nazareth. By making connections between
the ancient and the new, between her people
Israel and her own life, Mary grew in understanding
of God's plan and responded to God's will with her
acceptance: "Let it be with me according to your
word" (Lk 1:38).
