Eden, The Mountain, and The One Who Baptizes with Fire
Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and HomiliesAbout this episode
This week's readings take us to chapter 11 of the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah looks back to the garden of Eden and the world in right alignment with God, and then looks forward to the Messiah who will set right what has gone wrong in God's world. Sin interrupts right order, justice, and goodness. The righteous king will restore justice when he rules on his holy mountain.
