Advent 1A

• Isaiah 2.1–5
• Romans 13.11–14
• Matthew 24.36–44

Homily

Isaiah is unbelievably optimistic. In a vulnerable, divided community that is in imminent danger, Isaiah dares to dream a vision of peace. The implication? There is no fragment, no molecule in all of Creation that is not a part of the mystery that we call “God” and so is a means of life.
