2nd SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Isaiah 40:1-5,9-11, Psalm 85, Peter 3:8-14;
Mark 1:1-8

The voice of God speaks to us from all the readings including the Psalm. Prepare the way. Send out the message. God is approaching. In Advent we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We should also prepare ourselves for the second coming of Jesus. Because we cannot hope to change the world, we, ourselves, must have a change of heart. Love/charity is the fundamental virtue. Real charity – in action. So humility, justice, mercy and faithfulness will follow.
