This is my homily from the Second Sunday of Advent at  Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Orlando, Florida at the 8:00 am service. I enjoy the quiet contemplative atmosphere of the first Eucharist of the day as it gives me a reflective approach to offering my engagement with the Gospel reading. 

I have returned to Emmanuel for the month of December as they prepare to welcome their new Rector, Fr. Jonathan Turtle in January. It is a gift for me to express the joy of a life long journey as a priest. 

May it bring you wisdom, and above all, deep hope in the friendship of God. 

With you on the Journey and The Way, 

Rob+
