Historical Perspective 6th c Rome – a time of preparation Gregory the Great – Incarnation of Christ –
historical marker for the beginning of salvation.
In Gaul – focus primarily eschatological (penance and final judgment)
General Norms for the Liturgical Year – both history and eschatology be held in tension.

first coming of God’s Son to men is recalled. It is also a season when
minds are directed by this memorial to Christ's second
coming at the end of time. It us thus a
SEASON OF JOYFUL EXPECTIOAN: (GNLY, 39)

Theological Advents of Christ (Martin Connell)
All sorts of “comings” in the scriptures –AnnunciationWedding at CanaRoad to Emmaus
People are transformed as Jesus is revealed in a new way
These are called “little advents” – little comings of Christ!
![Page 14: The Liturgical Year - Advent](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061610/55cf9504550346f57ba5f708/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Think about your“little advents”
(coming of Christ in your everyday life!)

All sacraments are visible outward sings of the presence
of Christ working in community.

Non-liturgical advents take place in the kindness of
stranger, the generosity of a friend, or the support of a
loved one.
Moments of ‘grace’ – signs of Christ present
breaking into our lives!
