Finding a spiritual connection in Francis' exchange with fellow Jesuits

MGB:_The holiday for me begins when Daylight Savings Time ends and the dark of midwinter comes way too early. At core, the holiday is about Christ meeting our human need for spiritual light when the sunlight goes long and dim. That does not wait for any Nativity Play by elementary students on Christmas Eve. It means finding and sharing joy as soon as needed. Making Advent positional is not helpful. Francis seems to share that. Advent, Yule and the Incarnation are about sharing the Lord always and especially in action. That means if you can wait until December 25th to shop for your friends, get more friends, especially children, who want their presents on time. Maybe even a poor family who you will have to take to Walmart to load up the cart. Their need cannot wait for sacred calendars. If Advent is about you, you are doing it wrong.
