Third Sunday of Advent December 15, 2019
This Sunday the readings tell
us where to look for the
Lord’s coming: when the
blind see and the lame walk;
and when the dead are
raised to life and the poor
have good news preached to
them. In our day the Lord’s
presence is seen when walls
of oppression faith, when
enemies seek avenues of
fellowship and trust, when
the poor and homeless find
care and the forgotten are
included. The Kingdom is
among us, are we acting as
Kingdom people?
