1st SUNDAY OF ADVENT (Year A)
The world was created beautifully, with a divine vision set before us, but along the way we have broken some things. On this first Sunday in Advent, the prophet Isaiah tells us that God has again set that vision before us, but along the way to that vision we have broken some things. It matters that we can make it right again! It matters that in the midst of a stormy voyage, with bristling winds and frothy seas, we can set our eyes on a godly vision, where sword shall not be lifted and war learned no more. It matters that as we watch for, prepare for, and hope for the coming of Jesus, we can claim that Jesus has already come and we can work for God’s kingdom of justice, love and peace…right now, in the midst of our present. … More Advent Matters!!
