The Seasons of the Church

We are now in Advent.

​The season of Advent marks the start of the Christian year. It is a season of expectation and preparation, as the Church prepares to celebrate the coming (adventus) of Christ in his incarnation at Christmas, but also looks ahead to his final advent as judge at the end of time.
The readings and liturgies not only direct us towards Christ’s birth, they also challenge the modern reluctance to confront the theme of divine judgement. The Four Last Things – Death, Judgement, Heaven and Hell – have been traditional themes for Advent meditation. The characteristic note of  Adventis is therefore expectation, rather than penitence.
The anticipation of Christmas under commercial pressure has also made it harder to sustain the appropriate sense of alert watchfulness, but the fundamental  Advent prayer remains ‘Maranatha’ – ‘Our Lord, come’.  Church decorations are simple and sparse, and purple is the traditional liturgical colour.
