Today begins the season of Advent, a season of waiting and anticipation for God to finish his work of putting to rights all that is wrong with God's world. This, of course, will involve God's judgment on all forms of evil and it should give us reason to pause and reflect on what that means for us and our lives. Check out what Father Maney has to say about it all and resolve to use this season of Advent to ponder the mighty acts and judgment of God. Lectionary texts for today are Isaiah 64.1-9; Psalm 80.1-8, 18-20; 1 Corinthians 1.3-9; Mark 13.24-37.
