Description
Speaking at a day of prayer, Richard Rohr says, "Advent is not about a sentimental waiting for the baby Jesus." He asks listeners to focus expectations and anticipation on "the adult Christ, the cosmic Christ," the Lord who challenges us to empty ourselves, to lose ourselves, to surrender. This is the Jesus whom we invite to come into our hearts at Christmas and throughout our lives.Talk One: What Are We Waiting For?Talk Two: How Do We Wait?
