Episode 108: Year C – 3rd Sunday of Advent
In this episode, we focus on details from each of the readings for this upcoming 3rd Sunday of Advent, Year C. The first detail, which is found in the first reading, taken from Zephaniah 3:14-18, is the prophecy of the day for Israel to rejoice, the theme for Gaudete Sunday. The related topic, so I will argue, is Jesus’ divinity. The second detail comes from the second reading, taken from Philippians 4:4-7, and the related apologetical topic is the intercession of the saints. One of Paul’s exhortations seems to conflict with the Catholic practice of invoking the saints to intercede for us. The remaining two details come from the Gospel reading, which is taken from Luke 3:10-18. The two apologetical topics are the Sacrament of Baptism and the reality of Hell.
