-
This first Sunday in Advent, we explore Jesus’s apocalyptic vision and what it says about the way we work through our present.
-
The apocalyptic talk of the first week of Advent gives us a different opportunity to explore what is going on in the world around us.
-
The conflict that Jesus speaks to in his apocalyptic talk is about privilege, about fear of loss, about fear of a more just world.
-
We struggle to understand the true place of division in our lives, who it serves, and why our fear of it prevents us from achieving justice.
-
The new liturgical year begins where the old one ended: with apocalyptic talk and concern for the future—a most familiar feeling.
