Lk 3: 1 - 6

On Sunday we celebrated the second Sunday of Advent and we read about John the Baptist telling us to turn back to God. God sent John to prepare the way for the saviour, he was the proclaimer of the coming of Jesus! John was filled with the Holy Spirit and had the courage to stand before the crowds. He was the “voice in the wilderness” as he baptised the people who wanted to start fresh and try to lead better lives. Advent, like Lent, is an opportunity for us to take stock of where we stand in our relationship with God and to think about what God wants of us. Advent is a time for all of us to prepare and change. It is a time to be more aware that we can encounter God in many unexpected ways. As we gather around the Advent candles let's reflect on how we can prepare for the birth of our saviour, Jesus Christ.
