Advent 2 and Advent 3 are always explorations of John the Baptist. Advent 2 is marked by an exploration of John the Baptist through the eyes of each of the Synoptic Gospel writers. Mark is read for Advent 2 this year, and John is read next week. Note the similarities between the two readings and plan ahead for how to differentiate the sermons.
- 2 Occurrences in 3 yr lectionary
- Year B, Baptism of our Lord, Mk 1:4-11 -- 7 Sundays from now
- Note: This itself will in part be repeated Year B, Lent 1, Mk 1:9-15. Considering how to handle these three differently would be good
2 Peter 3:8-15a
- 1 Occurrence in 3 yr lectionary
Psalm 85:1-2, 8-13
- 3 Occurences in 3 yr lectionary
- Year B, Proper 10
- Year A, Proper 14
Isaiah 40:1-11
- 1 Occurrence in 3 yr lectionary
- 8 weeks of concentration on Isaiah and other prophetic texts
- Note: All this time spent in Isaiah - 2 months worth - warrants brushing up on the book. No other OT book gets this kind of exposure.
