O Rex gentium — “O King of the Nations”

The Fourth Sunday Of Advent

We beseech thee, Almighty God, to purify our consciences by thy daily visitation, that when thy Son Jesus Christ cometh he may find in us a mansion prepared for himself; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Fr Austin leads this on-going study of the Book of Job. This class is repeated most Thursdays at 12:40pm.

The book of Job is not just one speech after another, without any progression of thought. A careful reading uncovers many riches. After chapter 25, the dialogue between Job and his friends has completely broken down. When we try to understand suffering, we reach a place where we just can’t reason any further. What then happens? Therein is the brilliance of this book. Newcomers are welcome to the class every week.
