Some years ago at the time of the enquiry into the Iraqi war it emerged that scant consideration was given to the post-invasion planning and re-construction.  The result of such an oversight was chaos and huge loss of innocent life. There is an old saying which goes: 'failing to prepare is preparing to fail'.  The church in her wisdom has designated two seasons throughout the year which are penitential in character in anticipation of major feasts.  As Lent is to Easter, so Advent is to Christmas.
