The concluding Sundays of the Church’s liturgical year call us to watchfulness, a kind of spiritual health check. Our faith, like life itself, easily loses focus. Convictions, once so firm, can be undermined by the compromises that creep unnoticed into our lives. Disappointments, both with ourselves and those to whom we look for inspiration, can blunt the urgency of our hope in God. These final Sundays before Advent challenge us to return to the foundations of our faith in Christ, and to recognise where Christ’s promises are leading us.
