RCL Reflection, Fourth Sunday of Advent, Year B, December 20, 2020
In this time of pandemic, unrest, anger, and suffering, Christians still see the possibilities for a different world, one where the way of Christ breaks in and illumines the shadows of despair, shatters the bonds of evil, and welcomes all to the table equally with divine love and mercy.
Do Not Be Afraid: Bridging Advent and Christmas
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)
