Sunday’s Readings

Isaiah 35:1-10 Psalm 146 James 5:7-12 Matthew 11:2-19

Fr. Greg Peters acknowledges that for many of us the holidays can be a difficult time full of loss and difficulties. Our readings, however, remind us that even the wildernesses will blossom and be glad. Though we are in a time of waiting and anticipation, and though our lives may feel barren and full of challenges, we are to remain patient and steadfast in our preparation of Christ’s second coming without complaining.
