On this 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, our readings invite us to explore the identity and mission of the Incarnate Son still further by carefully attending to the call of His first Apostles. As Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) explains, when we do, we find that Jesus intends to draw all to saving communion with God beginning at the existential peripheries with those who have been deemed irrelevant by polite society.

On this Second Sunday of Ordinary Time, St. John the Baptist points to Jesus as the definitive Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world through His sacrifice. However, as Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) explains, the sacrifice of the Lamb of God saves us not by our passive reception, but rather by our active participatory imitation of His life.

On this Fourth and final Sunday of Advent, Tony Crescio ( ⁨@anthonycrescio⁩ ) highlights the contrast between King Ahaz and St. Joseph. As he explains, the difference in the two is a matter of faith. King Ahaz's lack of faith prevents him from carrying out his role in the drama of salvation, while St. Joseph's authentic faith enables him to play a crucial role in the salvation of the human family.

The Third Sunday of Advent is known as Gaudete Sunday.

The Immaculate Conception is a very poorly understood doctrine of the Catholic Faith. To be sure, the teaching is not without some conceptual difficulties. However, as Tony Crescio ( ⁨@anthonycrescio⁩ ) explains, at its most basic, the doctrine proclaims the unique way Mary of Nazareth was saved by the same means we all are, by the Paschal Mystery of her beloved son, the Son of God Incarnate, Jesus Christ.
