The transition from fall to winter is often hectic as Thanksgiving travel gives way to Advent and Christmas. It can sometimes be totally overwhelming, even for those who are determined to avoid the most secular and materialistic aspects of the season.

And as the days grow colder and darker, even the hustle and bustle of the holidays can’t ward off the many challenges winter brings. Especially for those of us living in northern climates, that means dealing with dropping temperatures, icy winds, snow… and a feeling that you would just like to hibernate for the next few months.

I found a poetic prayer that expresses all this perfectly. “In the Midst of Winter” was composed by Cal Wick, and you can find it on jesuitresource.
