Advent reading

As my readers may have noticed, I have trying to comment on the daily Scripture readings for Advent.  Today, however, I would just like to recommend a little Advent "penance".  Why don't we all take up the latest Apostolic Exhortation on the Word of God, "Verbum Domini" and try to complete it during this Advent season.  Perhaps it will be an eye-opener for some of us, for others, an occasion to become more familiar with their Bibles, and, for others, a simple rediscovery of their Christian roots.  Happy Advent reading to all!
