By Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor
"This liminal space is where new things are discovered," Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor, tells us for the 11th episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast, for our celebration of the Third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday). "Where, as we prepare to live the call, there's a power that was not there before we were called. We're supposed to pause, the church says — and not just to be happy, but to rejoice in the deepest way possible. To call ourselves to readiness, to call ourselves to realize what we are about to celebrate. It is a moment in time that we're looking back to where God entered the world in human form, in our mortal bodies."
