It's also about a third coming: the coming of Christ to meet us in our present moment, to make us holy by his Word and Sacrament. Priest and writer Tish Harrison Warren explores all three of these "comings" of Christ and invites us into a deeper experience of the first season of the Christian year.

Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430) is one of the titans of church history. Works such as his "Confessions" and "On the Trinity" have earned him a place as one of “the Doctors of the Church,” responsible for shaping and defending Christian doctrine throughout the centuries. Yet Augustine was also pastor. Week by week, year by year, he shepherded his flock by preaching to them the Good News.
