Jesus described this age, between his first and second advent, as a time of labour pains (Mark 13:8). We live in the time of the birth pains of the Messiah who will bring a New Heaven and a New Earth. The image of birth pains illuminates every aspect of Creation and our life within it. But, in the midst of it, there has been a birth of hope, a movement towards freedom and life. May the life of our crucified and risen Messiah find in us a pathway, a way of life, that makes real, in this world, the life of the World to Come.
