Sermons On The Gospel Readings
Series I, Cycle C
The season of Advent is upon us, and with it is a spirit of heaviness. It is not the heaviness of Lent, when we are called to sacrifice and repentance, but there is a quality of darkness, nevertheless.
The music of the season shows it; much of it is cast in a minor key. It is the music of longing, hoping, and waiting: "Oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel. And ransom captive Israel, that mourns in lonely exile here." The music and the mood are of an exile, far from a home never really known, but long and instinctively anticipated.
