Join Fr. Aaron & Marissa Burt for this week's episode, in which they consider the readings for the second Sunday of Christmas: Jeremiah 31:7-14; Psalm 84; Ephesians 1:3-14; Matthew 2:1-12.

They discuss God's invitation to contrition and nearness and how the nearness of God is good, Paul's language of riches and inheritance to describe our state in Christ, and the visit of the magi.

Our outro music is an original song by our friend Dcn. Jeremiah Webster, a poet and professor whose giftedness is rivaled by his humbleness. You can find his published works, including After So Many Fires, with a quick Google.
