Suhail overviews the tri-focal spirituality of Advent and highlights the particular appropriateness of lament in Advent. If you would like to write/pray your own lament, you are welcome to use the sheet we used here.

“⁠Christ in the Rubble⁠” is the name of a modern-day icon by ⁠Kelly Latimore⁠ created in partnership with Red Letter Christians. The icon is meant “to be a ‘holy pondering’ – a process that potentially brings about a new way of seeing [that] will create more dialogue among Christians […] during this holy season about the ways our beliefs and actions – or lack thereof – contribute to the violence we’re currently witnessing in Gaza.”
