By Mike Glenn Growing up Southern Baptist, I wasn't familiar with Advent. For us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas were used for telling and retelling the Christmas story and trying to talk our parents into buying more expensive Christmas gifts. We heard about cruel King Herod and how he tried to kill Baby Jesus. We heard about Mary. Although, we had to be careful when we talked about Mary. The Catholics talked a lot about Mary and in Alabama, if you talked too much about Mary you were assumed to be a Catholic.
I so appreciate this. I read it last night and woke up being glad to know about the first Sunday beng about the Second Coming. I would not have understood that. I want to go read about that today.
I have practically zero knowledge about Catholic. But, I am using a Catholic devotional this Advent actually designed for Lent. It's called Mercy's Gaze. The "uneducated Polish nun" who kept a diary of her experience of Jesus is very intense! Your writing is so timely. Thank you.
