The Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 1, verses 1-17
We make a turn in Advent today. No longer are we focusing on the adult Jesus. Now, we are preparing for a birth and thus, we have to focus on the Infancy Narratives of Matthew and Luke for the next 8 days. Today, we hear of the importance of our ancestry. Why? It grounds us and helps remind us from whence we came and who we are. True for us. True for Christ.
