		<title>22 January 2012 4th Sunday Mass Reflection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The word "time" is nuanced in Greek. In today’s Gospel, when Jesus says "This is the time of fulfillment," he uses the Greek term kairos for "time." Kairos is "sacred time." The "time" used in the Corinthians passage is different and means "has been drawn together, compacted, made short." The same word was used in classical Greek for stowing sails, packing luggage, and reducing expenses. Our modern term would be "downsizing."]]></description>

		<title>Advent Reflection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The word “advent” has an interesting background. Both the Latin “adventus” (Coming) and its Greek equivalent “Parousia” (Appearance) were both originally secular, pagan, words which would refer to singular events such as the birth of an Emperor or the proclamation of the Victor of a crucial battle. These kinds of events meant that people’s lives were forever changed and transformed.  Is it any wonder, then, that both of these words found their way into the Christian expression of the Incarnation?]]></description>
