In this sermon, Father Casey explores the often-misunderstood concept of divine judgment within the context of the Nicene Creed and the season of Advent. Judgment is reframed as good news, promising justice and restoration for a broken world. Through Christ's loving and redemptive nature, believers find hope in a future where all wrongs are righted and righteousness reigns expressed in the invocation "Maranatha" (an Aramaic phrase meaning "Come, Lord"). This plea for the swift return of the Lord underscores a longing for divine intervention and ultimate redemption.
