Jesus Christ, The Consolation of Every Soul

December 20, 2020 - In the Gospel of St. Luke 2, Christ our God is called the consolation of Israel. In the Collect prayer for the Mass of the Fourth Sunday of Advent we pray, "Lord, raise up Thy power and come among us and succor us." In this sermon we explore Christ's ministry of succoring His people and how this leads to the consolation of the soul; something every soul craves. Those who experience the consolation of Christ are far less shaken by the realities in which we live in this fallen world.
