Psalm 130 highlights one of the great themes of Advent: waiting for God. We remember how our ancestors waited for Christ, even as we continue to wait for the final coming of Christ. We also wait for Christ to come in our daily lives, which is paradoxical because we already have the Spirit of Christ within us. It is important to practice watchful waiting, however, so that we do not miss God when God is working in our lives. Many saints and mystics have also taught that God sometimes makes us wait in order to purify our intention so that it is God we are waiting for, and not something less than God.
