    If on Advent Sunday all we do is to look back to Christ's earthly life and forward to his coming again, our present life seems to occupy a sort of interval when nothing much is going on.

    Humans are complex creatures, aren’t we? Those we love we tend to hurt. We love God and yet we sin against God.

    A short advent message.

    St. Paul was writing to a Church under pressure; and St. Paul himself was writing from a situation of imprisonment.
