- Fourth Sunday of Advent: Christmas Hope, Unsung Heroes, and the 1914 Christmas Truce
On the fourth Sunday of Advent, host Jack Socha and Bishop William Patrick Callahan reflect on preparing for Christmas amid ongoing COVID concerns, thanking priests, volunteers, and behind-the-scenes workers who make the season possible, and noting the 12 days of Christmas run from Christmas Day to Epiphany. The episode highlights heroism during a tornado at Monette Manor Nursing Home, generosity to Afghan refugees at Fort McCoy and Salvation Army red kettles, and a story of Jimmy Finch feeding tornado-stricken Mayfield, Kentucky. Socha discusses A Christmas Carol’s theme of conversion, shares the World War I Christmas Truce of 1914 through excerpts from “All Is Calm,” recounts Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day,” and offers a personal memory of Christmas Eve 1966 in the Pentagon. Bishop Callahan closes with a prayer and blessing.
