“In the Fullness of Time” – An Advent Devotional on the theology of time

December 14, 2015 by Michael J. Stell, MATS No Comments

As Christians, it is right and proper that our calendar, the liturgical calendar, should begin with Advent, for it is Christ’s advent which changes time. Time begins again; history turns a new page and the ancient prophecies are given new meaning. Advent is a beginning, but it is also a longing; an anticipation.

December 13, 2015 by ESN Announce No Comments

Earth grown old, yet still so green,/Deep beneath her crust of cold/Nurses fire unfelt, unseen:/Earth grown old.
