RCL Reflection, 4th Sunday of Advent & Nativity of Our Lord, Year B, Dec. 24, 2017
This year provides the rare opportunity to bridge Advent and Christmas using the power call of the angels, “Do not be afraid.” From Mary’s radical “yes” to the first announcement of Jesus’ birth to the most unlikely of recipients, the lessons for this day offer amazing good news of hope, possibility, and transformation. Be not afraid to build this bridge! (Photo: Guillaume Speurt, Creative Commons)
