Sunday Gospel Reflections

King Ahaz refuses God's sign, but Isaiah prophesies anyway: a virgin shall conceive Emmanuel. Fr. Hezekias and Annie explore Joseph as David's rightful heir, why God speaks in dreams, and how the Incarnation extends to us—we become the presence of Christ.

Isaiah prophesied the blind would see and lame would walk. John the Baptist asks from prison: Are you the one? Fr. Hezekias and Annie unpack Jesus' answer, navigate the Herod family, and explain why Advent calls us to patience, fasting, not feasting.

Fr. Hezekias and Annie explore Isaiah's shoot from Jesse's stump, why John the Baptist dressed like Elijah, and the true meaning of Advent: not party time, but a season of repentance, fasting, and preparation to become living temples of God's presence.

Fr. Hezekias and Annie unpack the First Sunday of Advent: Isaiah's prophecy of swords to plowshares, Jesus' urgent call to stay awake, and what it really means to be "left behind." Wake up & prepare for Christ's coming through prayer, fasting, & charity.

Fr. Hezekias and Annie explore David's anointing as king, Jesus' enthronement on the cross, and Mary's queenship, examining how Christ reigns through self-giving love and calls us as Christians to participate in His royal mission of pouring out our lives
