Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
All of a sudden, after a year of near biblical pestilence, horrid violence in our streets and insanity within the Body Politic, we come again to the season of Advent, when we find ourselves waiting for the birth of Jesus Christ under the bright star of Bethlehem. Let us hope that star will shine down on the woes of this unfortunate year and give us, in the miracle of the manger, a measure of peace.
We will never be adequately prepared for the coming of the Savior unless and until we feel in our bones that there is something we need to be saved from. If we don’t require salvation, then Jesus devolves, very quickly, into one wise man among many, one more spiritual teacher in a long line of similar figures across space and time.
