"Fastening Ourselves in Shaky Times: Advent Wisdom from Isaiah 7-9"
Saturday, December 2 from 9:00 a.m. to Noon
at St. Scholastica Monastery
or
Tuesday, December 12 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. CT
via Zoom
At a time of intense social climate, Isaiah once described how the “hearts of the people were shaken, as the trees of the forest are shaken by the wind.” Many of us today feel shaken by recent social trends that affect us to the very core. The same applies to institutions of human service: our schools, churches, and health care systems have all been shaken. Isaiah can help us to refasten ourselves by faith! This faith can also strengthen us in a ‘radical middle’ zone within our current scene of polarization. God also provides a series of child-signs that allow God’s future to inform the way we live more peaceably in the present.
