Stay Awake!
The season of Advent is about waiting. It is about anticipation. Ultimately, Advent is about hope. This week, we begin to observe the season of Advent, which marks the beginning of the Christian year. In the four Sundays leading up to Christmas, the celebration of the incarnation of the Word of God, we move from hope to joy to peace to love. Join us this week for the beginning of this journey as we reflect on Jesus’ teaching about his second Advent.
Hope of All Creation
What good is our salvation when there is so much suffering in the world? What difference does the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ make when we experience hardship in this life? In Romans 8:18-25 St. Paul acknowledges these questions but says that our present sufferings do not compare to the glory that will be revealed in us. This week, Fr. Ben Williams explores Paul’s answer to these questions, which is (strangely) that the hope of all Creation is for the sons of God to be revealed.
