The theme of the Second Sunday in Advent is Peace.
Also this Sunday we will celebrate that Peace that was
proclaimed by John the Baptist who foretold Jesus' life and
ministry. At the heart of our Advent preparation stands
John the Baptist, who calls us to repent and make a new
beginning. As the darkness increases, we turn toward the
approaching light of Christ. For Christians he is the root of
Jesse, (who was the Father of King David) the righteous
judge who welcomes all, especially the poor and meek of
the earth. We wait with hope for that day when the wolf will
dwell with the lamb, and there will be no more hurt or
destruction. From the Lord’s table we are sent in the spirit
of John the Baptist to proclaim that in Christ the kingdom
of God has come near.
May the Prince of Peace be with you all.
