So we've arrived at Advent!  Happy (liturgical) new year!  This Advent, the Emmaus Pastorate looks at four related words: Who, What, Where, and When.  This first week, the question is: Who do we say God is?  Is God a vending machine that gives us x, y, or z for three Hail Mary's or 10 Our Fathers?  Is there something that we let pull us away from a closer relationship with God?  Or is Christ the center of our lives, even more important than our proudest moments?  Is Jesus someone for whom we long, a person we see in the people around us?  Who is God to you this Advent?
