+ I found a couple of paragraphs in the Advent & Christmas Spirituality and Practice Course particularly meaningful yesterday:
We are in bondage today to so many things. We are held captive by expectations — to do the best, to have the most, to be the happiest, to know the right thing always to say and do and be. We are bound by expectations — from others, of ourselves.
Held captive by our status in life, by possessions, we feel that we must make decisions not just for today but also for retirement, for a spouse's security, for the future of real or anticipated children or grandchildren. We don't travel light like Jesus did. We have possessions to take care of and protect, worldly responsibilities that demand priority in our lives.
