For John the Baptist, repentance was not simply regret for past failings, but a commitment to orient life around God s desires and purposes. What might living in alignment with God s desires look like? Our readings offer some clues. Baruch indicates that when mercy and justice are embraced like a royal garment, we may see the fruits of repentance. Paul notes how the Holy Spirit has been active within the church in Philippi, forming them to live in a loving and united community of faith, so they may witness to the love of God. And John himself suggests that a repentant heart clears a path for God to enter, leveling the mountains and valleys of our resistance, so that God might dwell within. HEIGHTS AND DEPTHS John the Baptist preached from the desert. The desert not far from Jerusalem is extremely rugged, where steep hills and deep valleys are common across a barren landscape. When John quoted Isaiah in today s Gospel, this rough terrain stirred the imagination of John s listeners. John proclaimed that these hills and valleys are to be made level, to provide a smooth path for God to enter. John s listeners recognized that the height of hills and the depth of valleys are similar to human attitudes and relationships: heights of personal pride and depths of discouragement and fear. Hills and valleys evoked how people treat each other, with some people raised high and others brought low. They suggested how social structures embody and harden these tendencies with large-scale systems of military, political, or economic oppression. John proclaimed that God was about to alter this social landscape through the work of Jesus. Today s Readings: Bar 5:1 9; Ps 126:1 2, 2 3, 4 5, 6; Phil 1:4 6, 8 11; Lk 3:1 6 (Worship Pgs. 1006 )

Second Sunday of Advent Page Three We are fast approaching Christmas! What have we changed this Advent to let GOD more deeply in our lives? Have we tried to attend a Daily Mass once or twice a week; have we read and prayed more Scripture; have we connected with Jesus in times of daily prayer; have we visited Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in a quiet visit; have we used the Sacrament of Confession to prepare ourselves for a deeper experience of God s Love and Mercy? We pray for the grace to use this Advent as Jesus calls us to do! Peace, Prayer, & Gratitude, Fr. Jerry TITHING NEWS: Last week our collection totaled $17,459.50.
