“Awaiting the Already,” Advent study by Magrey R. de Vega
Each Gospel, in its own way, leads us on the Advent journey of preparation for Christ’s coming. Awaiting the Already, originally released in 2015, takes a tour through the four Gospel narratives that announce Christ’s birth or make way for his ministry. It is intended to nurture and encourage faith development and spiritual growth during the season of Advent.
