Episode 24: Christmas: Jesus Wades into the Human Mess
from The Shepherd's Voice with Archbishop George J. Lucas · host Archdiocese of Omaha
In the face of challenges - those facing the Church, those facing us personally - it's easy to feel that God is distant from us. What the Church proposes, however, is that the Lord is near and that He enters into our particular circumstances. This time of year, our primary task is to ask for Him to come near, and to be open to how He wants to make Himself known to us. A few highlights: [0:00] Celebrating Advent in times of difficulty [6:19] "We talk about Jesus coming, so where is He?" https://archomaha.fireside.fm/24?t=379 [9:05] "...Jesus is supposed to be so present in the Church, but I don't see Him..." https://archomaha.fireside.fm/24?t=545
