Br. Athanasius Murphy, O.P., on Jesus as the Root of Jesse

"Roots are the hidden plant-parts that keep the rest of the organism aloft. They're the source of life that make growth and nourishment possible. Christ, by his Incarnation, is no different. Fashioned in the womb and born of Mary, Christ makes us grow from the same shoot that sprung from Jesse. Christ, as God and through his humanity, keeps the Church alive. Here are a few things to remember this Advent about Christ’s human life, and how he’s the root and foundation of our lives."

In a recent commentary, Br. Athanasius Murphy, O.P., reflected on Jesus' humility, obedience, prayer and patience as the Root of Jesse.
