A magnificent spring moon, full as can be, is rising over the battered houses of Camden. It's the same moon Jesus saw at Passover time, and it reminds me how important it is to be in tune with the moving seasons and to be enriched and nourished by them. As I describe the liturgy we enjoy here, my mind goes back to the First Sunday of Advent several years ago. I get on the phone to call Theresa McDyer: "How old is Christopher now?" I ask. "Seven," she says, "on the 31st of January." Together we reminisce about the day she first came to Sacred Heart, bulging with child and apprehensive about the coming of her sixth.
