That's the title of a talk I've given a couple of times in recent years, and it is also the title of a podcast that I recorded earlier this morning with Dr. Chris Burgwald, director of Adult Catechesis & Evangelization for the Diocese of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We talk about the meaning of Advent and Christmas, the three comings of Christ (yes, three!), and the relationship between the season of Advent and the Eucharist.
You can access the podcast on the feed page for the Prairie Rome Companion, or go to the direct link.
