Fourth Sunday of Advent (Year 4, NL)

Some 50 years ago, Merton warned us about what can happen when “all words have become alike.”

John is trying to describe an event, an advent, an epiphany without parallel.

Who am I? Who are you? Not the Messiah.

The psalmists of the Bible often sound as if they’re drowning.

John stands on the frontier as the ages collide, destined to bear the impact.
