This week, we explore themes of endurance, hope, and action within the context of pre-Advent readings from the Bible. Mother Paige provides insights into apocalyptic literature, explaining its purpose and relevance, emphasizing that such literature is not about predicting the future but offering hope and calling for action. She highlights passages from Isaiah and Luke, reminding us how their teachings commission us through our baptism to be agents of God’s love and transformation. We're called to actively participate in God’s work, because ultimately, love wins.
