“Adventus” coming, presence, visitation

”Then he was seen, heard, handled, he ate, he drank, he slept… but except this brief period, his presence has never been perceptible, he has never made us conscious of his existence by means of our senses. He came, and he retired beyond the veil, and to us individually, it is as if had never shown himself” John Henry Newman

Why is God no more evident? Reason #1 - The coming of Jesus through his Spirit is better and desirable that the one in the flesh because it’s more universal, more intimate, and more powerful than the first coming

Why is God no more evident? Reason #2 - The coming of Jesus through his Spirit respects our freedom.

Willing to appear openly to those who seek him with all their heart, and to be hidden from those who flee from him with all their heart, God so regulates the knowledge of himself that he has given indications of himself which are visible to those who seek him and not to those who do not seek him. There is enough light for those to see who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for those who have a contrary disposition. Blaise Paschal.

Advent Attitudes: 1. Be watchful 2. Lift up your eyes 3. Don’t be sleepy

He is not far off, though He seems so, but close behind this visible screen of things which hides Him from us. He is behind this material framework; earth and sky are but a veil going between Him and us; the day will come when He will rend that veil, and show Himself to us. Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when He cometh, shall find watching. Life is short; death is certain; and the world to come is everlasting. John Henry Newman
