Isaiah begins his word today by making a pertinent statement – “Give comfort to my people.” Who are these people today? An answer might be – migrants who are looking for a better life in today’s world, or street people whose aspirations may be no different, or the elderly in our midst for whom life is getting short.

Trusting in God’s Providence, from Core SLW Value #2, is the message of the first Readings on the four Sundays of Advent. The prophet Isaiah had to deal with the slow movement of God in bringing the people back to their land after a period of exile.
