I managed, mostly by memory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">St. John Henry Newman writes: \u201cBefore Christ came was the time of shadows; but when He came, He brought truth as well as grace\u2026 God revealed Himself visibly to Jacob, to Job, to Moses\u2026 to us He reveals Himself not visibly, but more wonderfully and truly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all know what it feels like when life blurs\u2014the future uncertain, the meaning of circumstances indistinct. We long for sharper vision, for faith that brings things back into focus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faith, like new lenses, doesn\u2019t distort reality\u2014it clarifies it. It helps us see what is truly there. Advent waiting is how God polishes the glasses of our hearts; one day, what once seemed vague or veiled will shimmer with meaning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us pray, with eyes lifted and hearts awake: \u201cCome, Lord Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Reflect: Is there a part of your life right now that feels uncertain\u2014a decision, a relationship, a direction for the future?
