About this listen
We begin Advent in Rome with a call to wakefulness, not fear: cast off the works of darkness, put on Christ, and let Mary lead us into active hope. Isaiah’s peace, Paul’s urgency, and Jesus’ command to stay awake shape a practical path toward confession, conversion, and joy.
• grace of Advent as interruption and awakening
• tension between our small kingdoms and God’s kingdom
• joyful hope for judgment as fulfillment not dread
• Isaiah’s vision of peace as our true destiny
• readiness defined as love, vigilance and joy
• casting off sin, resentment and distraction now
• putting on Christ as identity not ornament
• Mary’s role in preparing hearts for her son
• confession as essential preparation before Christmas
• letting Christ reorder desires and heal wounds
• pilgrimage as conversion toward deeper hope and joy
• returning home with a firmer longing for God’s house
Prepare your hearts for the gaze of God, the loving, healing, searchable gaze of Christ who comes to save you
