Advent to Epiphany
The word "Advent" comes from the Latin adventus, meaning "coming". Though we often focus on the past -- the birth of Jesus, when he first came to us -- there are two other aspects to "coming" that are very pertinent to Advent.
In the present, we rejoice at the presence of the Holy Spirit, Christ with us. And, of course, we look forward to the future for the second coming of Christ.
All three aspects of Advent deserve our attention and reflection.
