The Latest in Resources

In this first week of Advent, the Evangelist Luke reminds us of a tension inherent in this liturgical season. In these few short weeks, we both wait and prepare for Christ to return in glory at the end of time while we also await his entrance into our present lives in the form of an infant.

John the Baptist is the beginning of the Good News.  This is literally so, in the case of Mark and John, who do not include Infancy Narratives.  Regardless, in all four Gospels, John begins the proclamation of the Good News.  

I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Zechariah. Luke's description makes it clear that he and Elizabeth lived faithfully and righteously, spending years hoping and praying for a child.
