As we begin Advent moving toward the manger, a reminder: This journey is political.
Forced migration in an occupied land.
Civil disobedience by wise elders.
Refugees, fleeing persecution.
Vulnerable love breaking fascist power.
Joy to the world precisely where we need it most. https://t.co/LGtgThe1Jw
Today is the first Sunday of #Advent.
During the Advent season, we celebrate the promise of a Savior and prepare our hearts to receive him. "O Come, O Come Emmanuel." https://t.co/JVsLCNTHJK
Today begins the season of Advent and a new liturgical year. It's a time to “throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light” (Romans 13) as we prepare for Christ’s coming at Christmas. O come, Emmanuel! https://t.co/WAP8gV42Gm
Gospel: Something new is coming. That's the message for the First Sunday of Advent. The key is noticing. "Stay awake," as Jesus says today. A Gospel meditation here: https://t.co/Yiagm7asuA https://t.co/plE1aLp01O
Advent is a four-week period that marks the beginning of the Christmas season. It is a time of spiritual preparation before the celebration of the birth of Christ.
