Advent Reflection Week Two

Author: Matthew Maloney December 9, 2018 Duration: 2:02

People not that familiar with the New Testament, probably assume the Gospels begin with some cute verse, like, It came upon a midnight clear, or Away in a Manger no crib for a bed. But none of the first verses of any of the Gospels, begin with a Christmas narrative. Matthew starts with a long Geneology and while the Gospel of John's beginning may sound more familiar: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… after that the Gospel of John along with Mark and Luke all tell us something first about John the Baptist before they ever talk about Jesus.

Why is John the Baptist so important? What can we learn from him this Advent?


In a world of constant noise and shifting foundations, Know The Faith-Traditional Catholic Lessons and Prayers offers a space of quiet clarity and depth. Hosted by Matthew Maloney, this podcast serves as a thoughtful guide through the rich, enduring teachings and spiritual practices of traditional Catholicism. It’s not about headlines or debates, but about returning to the core-the doctrines, devotions, and liturgical heritage that have sustained believers for centuries. Each episode feels like a considered conversation or a lesson in the best sense, breaking down elements of theology, scripture, and history in a way that is both substantive and accessible. You’ll find explanations of foundational beliefs alongside guided prayers, creating a rhythm of learning and worship. This is for anyone seeking to understand their faith more profoundly, to find roots in a timeless tradition, or to simply incorporate more structured prayer into their daily life. The tone is reverent yet welcoming, assuming a seeking mind rather than a scholarly background. By weaving instruction with practice, this podcast provides listeners with both the knowledge and the tools to live out a deeper, more intentional spiritual life, drawing directly from the well of Catholic tradition.
