Don't Look to the Sky for Miracles, but all around us. (LK 21:25-28, 34-36) (1 AD)

The readings describe great miracles in the sky, a time when God shows to all His power.  If God did that today, would humanity recognize that God is real and change how we live? But if we change, we will see God present already in the many ways He enters our lives. Advent is a time to slow down, and allow our eyes to adjust to see God's light, His presence, in the midst of our darkness.  This homily contains a portion of a book by Immaculee Ilibagiza called "Our Lady of Kibeho".
