The Second Sunday of Advent -- December 10 2023

This episode is for the Second Sunday of Advent. Like last week, there is a lot here, and Dr. Kreeft has two separate reflections on both the Responsorial Psalm and on the Second Reading. For the Psalm, he mentions that the two reflections are on two different parts of the psalm, and that they can be combined but they do not have to be. For the second reading, the first reflection is more practical, and centered on a single point. The second is more textual, and has a number of different points. Like last week, I'll have the time marks for the various sections in the show notes. 0:00     Intro 2:10     First Reading Isaiah 40:1-5, 9-11 3:50     Reflection on First Reading 9:06     Responsorial Psalm 85:9-10, 11-12, 13-14 10:10   Reflection 1 on the Responsorial Psalm 18:51   Reflection 2 on the Responsorial Psalm 31:35   Second Reading 2 Peter 3:8-14 32:58   Reflection 1 on the Second Reading 39:49   Reflection 2 on the Second Reading 46:15   Gospel Mark 1:1-8 47:35   Reflection on the Gospel 53:37   Conclusion Scripture readings are from the Lectionary for Mass for Use in the Dioceses of the United States of America, second typical edition, Copyright Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc., used with permission.
