info_outlineWhen we talk about Advent and Lent, we think of these two liturgical seasons as penitential. That’s why we have the priests wearing purple, why our churches are decorated in a more subdued tone. Yet, they are both seasons of waiting and anticipating. We all could use a little more of the childlike anticipation of Christmas that children have. In today’s readings, we get a sense of that anticipation from John the Baptist, and we hear about glory. Let’s listen to the Scripture and commentary!
