In the Gospel reading, the Roman empire isn t big enough, either. The great powers of Rome are named and made to stand wai ng for the arrival of God s salva on. And we ﬁnd Paul medita ng joyfully on what really ma ers. According to Baruch, the city of Jerusalem is like a person standing on ptoe looking for God s salvaon, which is coming from the east. Those who were led away on foot, heads down, now come back, a proud people. Why, the very way is smoothed out. The path is lined with fragrant, lush trees. It can t get any be er than this, can it? Well, yes, it can. For a voice calls out in the desert. Here is the beginning of the salva on of God. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
