Papal preacher’s 1st Advent sermon: ‘God sent His Son that we might be adopted as God’s children’ (Cantalamessa.org)

Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa, the preacher of the papal household since 1980, devoted his first Advent sermon to Galatians 4:4-7. He customarily preaches sermons to the Pope and members of the Roman Curia on Fridays during Advent and Lent—though the Pope was not present on December 3 because of his apostolic journey to Cyprus and Greece.
