The more I learn, the more I wish we had a holiday celebrating the future return of the King of Kings.

Anglican, Catholic, Orthodox and Lutheran churches have an entire season devoted to the Lord's return: Advent. Today happens to be the first Sunday of Advent and the season will continue through December 24th. During this season we reflect on the Lord's first appearance at Bethlehem, his coming into our hearts for a lifetime of conversion and his Second Coming in clouds of glory. The gospel reading today was Mark 13:28-37 with related readings from the Old Testament and the Epistles.

Forget not Ascension Day. "He will come again as you have seen him go."

Thanks! I’ll have to look into the details and maybe start my own tradition in home.
