| Summary: | This Sunday's readings set forth a context and attitude and mindset as we begin the Advent season. Primarily they enable us to enter more deeply the mystery of Christ and the "day of the Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Cor 1:8). The gospel reading is Jesus' concluding exhortation in Mark's short apocalyptic reflection on the "coming of the Son of Man" (Mark 13:1-32); it is a prelude to the narrative of the suffering and death of that Son of Man in the following chapters (Mark 14-15). In the second reading, Paul begins his letter with a prayer of thanksgiving for the community who are awaiting the revealing/coming/ alphaapiοκalphalambdauwic/apocalypsis of Christ. The first reading is taken from the third section of the book of the Prophet Isaiah (Isa 56-66), and is part of a prophetic lament of the "absence" of God, seen in the destroyed temple of his presence. |
