Purity of a Different Kind
from Sermons at The Episcopal Church of Our Saviour · host The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer
Joseph shows us a path to welcoming the Christ child beyond the standards of the world.
What this episode covers
(The Fourth Sunday of Advent - Year A - The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer) An ancient symbol for Joseph is the lily: a sign of purity. But the purity of Joseph is not what we might assume or expect. It certainly wasn't what he expected! The path he is invited to walk begins with a dream, and it takes him down a road unbidden and uncertain. His purity is to walk that road with compassion, empathy, and hope -- a divine purity.
