Sunday, March 29 - Lenten Journey 2020, Day 35 of 40
The last Sunday of
the Lenten Season is designated as “Advent” Sunday, where the Second Coming of
Jesus is the theme. From Apostolic times, the Second Coming has been
anticipated by the Church. In the Nicene Creed, each Sunday we remember that
Jesus is “to come … to judge the living and the dead.” However, Jesus himself
cautions us to not be consumed with dates and signs. “But about that day or
hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the
Father.” (Mark 13:32) The day is filled with its own challenges and looking to
future events only distracts from our duties today. The Lenten Journey is accomplished
by steps taken in the moment.
