Today is the first Sunday of Advent, the first Sunday of the new Christian year (yes, today not Jan 1) and the first Sunday in the cycle of sacred time that leads to Christmas.
In the northern hemisphere, all this "newness" and the anticipation of birth occurs as the days grow short and the world darkens. Indeed, the shortest day of the year is just two days before Christmas.
Text for today: "Jesus said, "There will be signs in the sun, the moon & stars & on earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea & waves. People will faint from fear & foreboding of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken."
