Year A, Advent 4

Join Fr. Aaron & Marissa Burt for this week's episode, in which they consider the readings for Advent 4: Isaiah 7:10-17; Psalm 24; Romans 1:1-7; Matthew 1:18-25.

They discuss the narrative imagery of the virgin birth, the vanity of idolatry, and Joseph's point of view on the nativity.
