Second Sunday of Advent
Take a Deep Breath
advent to epiphany - day 8


As we long for Jesus and the peace he promises, the words of consolation Isaiah offers today are timely. They are soothing words: comfort, tenderness, glad tidings. The Lord we await, the Lord we are promised, is one who, like a shepherd, feeds his flock and gathers the lambs in his arms. How can we model this same good news to a society that so often reveres power and strength? Consider this your job description during this Second Week of Advent—at home, at the office, at your parish. Get ready for some real work!
