The Pilgrimage of Advent with Carolyn Pirtle

We often think of Advent as waiting for the Lord to come, but perhaps we can also flip that image: rather than seeing it as waiting for the Messiah to find us, can we also see it as a journey for us to find the Messiah? This week's guest is Carolyn Pirtle, program director at the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy in the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame. We look at the counter-cultural season of Advent, what it means to be in a posture of waiting, the work that happens in this time of preparation, and how we must train our eyes to recognize Christ. To sign-up for the crèche calendar: mcgrath.nd.edu/crecheAdvent Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/08Fg97d7QTLNuoyTq3A3Zq?si=d54917e0d0d042f7A Church Life Journal article describing each piece on the Advent playlist: https://churchlifejournal.nd.edu/articles/the-church-life-journal-sounds-of-advent-spotify-playlist/
