"Since Adventcomes at winter time, fire is a fitting sign to help us celebrate
Advent. If God is to become really incarnate for us, then fire will have to be
present in our prayer. Our worship and devotion will have to stoke the kind of
fire in our souls that can truly change our hearts. Ours is a great responsibility not to waste this Advent
time."
