Advent is a time in which we share in the yearning of all those who, in their suffering and struggle, long for redemption and liberation, for unity, for peace, for a golden age – for a manifestation of God’s love and unity, for a breaking in of his justice among the nations. Today we are convinced that there still is One who will create peace and social justice for everyone.

Advent is a time when we await God’s intervention in the need of the present day.
