Cesta a Cíl

Abychom ani v panujícím zmatku těchto dnů neztratili ze zřetele Cestu a Cíl naší cesty - nejen té adventní - doporučuji k poslechu a meditaci prvních pár zpěvů Händlova Mesiáše.

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness; prepare ye the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

(Isaiah 40: 1-3) Thus saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts: Yet once a little while and I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. And I will shake all nations; and the desire of all nations shall come.   (Haggai 2: 6-7)   The Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the Covenant, whom you delight in; behold, He shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.   (Malachi 3: 1)

But who may abide the day of His coming, and who shall stand when He appeareth? For He is like a refiner's fire.
(Malachi 3: 2)

For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people; but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
(Isaiah 60: 2-3)

Annuntio vobis (teda asi hlavně "sibi") gaudium magnum...
