I was pleased to find that this set of Advent reflections were not, unlike most, trying too hard to be “relevant” - there was a gentleness in the connections made that didn’t jar – Advent speaks to the injustice and troubled world without the need to contrive anything.
In one of the reflections he quotes Pope Francis speaking about migrants crossing, and drowning in, the Mediterranean “Who among us has wept for these things, and things like this?” the Pope added “We are a society that has forgotten the experience of ‘weeping with’. The globalisation of indifference has taken from us the ability to weep!”
