In the quiet cradle of Advent, time folds upon itself, weaving the delicate fabric of the now and the not-yet.

It’s a balance of anticipation, where our faith finds its rhythm, seeking balance in the tension that defines this sacred season against the heart wrenching upheavals of the world.

We live life within this delicate equilibrium—a pilgrimage through the sacred corridors of waiting and hoping while serving others.

As we go about our days leading up to what the Christian world celebrate as the birthday of Jesus, the Messiah, let’s cast aside the cloak of denial and indifference.

Our world is in big trouble. There’s no denying this.

The season’s call is not to escape but to show up and do what we can to make a difference in the lives around us. No good deed is too small.

So, let Advent be our guide, teaching us the live in relevance in the present, and the courage to embrace the unknown that awaits in the not-yet.

In this sacred tension, we discover the beauty of our faith.

Afterword: Advent, derived from the Latin word adventus meaning “coming,” refers to the Christian church calendar’s preparatory phase for both commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas and anticipating His Second Coming. In Western churches, Advent initiates on the Sunday closest to November 3rd—that’s today, December 3.
