Advent, The Nativity Fast, and the Commandments of Life!

About this episode

This episode explores the Nativity Fast, the season of Advent, and the call to holiness through Scripture and the Ten Commandments.

This is Episode 146, and today we’re entering deeply into, the Nativity Fast, the season of Advent and the call to holiness that prepares us for the coming of Christ. We’ll be reflecting on three powerful passages of Scripture: - Psalm 102:13–17 - Isaiah 2:1–22 - 1 Peter 1:13–25 And then, we’ll spend time unpacking two of the Ten Commandments—the Fifth and the Sixth—as explained in the great catechetical tradition of the Church. This episode is meant to be both encouragement and challenge: a call to prepare our hearts, discipline our lives, and walk faithfully as we await the Nativity of our Lord.
