DECEMBER 7, 2025 - SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT
LIONS AND LAMBS
If ever we needed powerful images to touch our imagination and give us a vision of what will come to pass when our God comes, Isaiah's prophetic poetry fills the hearts of modern people with hope, just as it did for the Israelites who suffered slavery and exile from their homeland. Isaiah proclaims that where there has been war, God comes to bring peace. He will restore the lineage of David and give the people a faithful shepherd to lead them. On that day, "a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse and from his roots a bud shall blossom” and justice will flourish.
