Second Sunday of Advent

Reflection

“John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the desert of Judea and saying, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!’” –Matthew 3:1-2

Prayer

Spirit of Mercy,

Repentance is truly a gift. You have taught us that we are never so far gone down a poor choice of road that we cannot stop in tracks, turn right around and come on back to the way you have shown us. The road on which we belong. On this Second Sunday of Advent, may each one of us consider the various roads we are walking and the ways we are living. Encourage us to repent from the waywardness that keeps us from you, that we might welcome your coming to us. Amen.

Call to Action

Take a few minutes today to reflect on my ways of being and doing. Do I need to make changes so I can better embody the love that I have been shown?
