Today is a day of several beginnings. It is the first day of December, as well as the first day of Advent. For this year, all those Advent calendars you find in the stores will line up perfectly with the season itself. So, you get twenty-four days of treats, or twenty-four days of ornaments, or twenty-four days of ... scripture readings.That right, dear reader. This liturgical year marks "Cycle C" in the reformed Roman rite (the "Novus Ordo" if you will). It is the third of the three-year cycle -- I can never remember which one it is from one year to the next, okay? -- and is devoted to the Gospel according to Luke. This book has twenty-four chapters. So we will follow this gospel one chapter at a time ... but not here.
No, we will catch it at the social media venue formerly known as Twitter, but now known as X. Click here, and share the readings with us, as we count the days to the coming of the Savior.
