At Advent we celebrate God’s love in the coming of the Christ. The word “Advent” comes from the Latin word 'adventus', which means “coming or arrival”. This is not only a historical event, something that happened two thousand years ago, but an ongoing reality. The Christ is always coming into the world, and the anticipation of waiting in Advent can help us to focus our prayer on what is being born within each us in this season.

When I read brief bios like this one, I am always struck by two things. First, the courage, conviction, and faith these men and women had in speaking truth to power and, the times they lived in.
