Ho Ho Holy Nativity, Batman! What child is this indeed! The Christmas readings have us focussed on not only the incarnation, but in particular what John and the writer of Hebrews tell us about the nature of this incarnate Word of God.

Advent isn't just about waiting; it's about learning to hold our nerve in that waiting. In this "Now-But-Not-Yet- Kingdom of God", we hold an unusual space in which God calls us to hold patience as a key virtue.

(The readings for the Third Sunday of Advent are: Isaiah 35:1-10  • Luke 1:46b-55  • James 5:7-10  • Matthew 11:2-11)
