Holy Family
-
The Holy Family is our family. And God shows us that we are part of a project that thrives on making room for the new.
-
The gospel for Advent 4A gives us Joseph’s angelic encounter while deciding about Mary when most of us are thinking Christmas.
-
We often read the challenge Joseph faces as doing the “right” thing. What the angel invites them all into is something new.
-
The question offered by the angel encounters that surround Jesus’s birth is not what we would do, but what we do.
-
Luke sets us up to see the birth of Jesus as more than the uncommon birth of the Son of God. It is a common flashpoint for love.
-
Just because the lectionary has us reading the beginning of Matthew in the wrong order doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get it straight.
