REBUILD MY CHURCH

Journey Towards the Diocesan Assembly

2^nd Sunday Advent Year C

Readings: Baruch 5:1-9, Phil 1:4-6 . 8-11, Luke 3:1-6

In this week’s Gospel, Luke tells us that God came to John in the wilderness. John then set out to proclaim repentance and forgiveness, a voice calling out “Prepare a way for the Lord”.

Is God waiting to come to you in the wilderness? Could you here that lone voice of John or is it being drowned out by all the other demands you give priority to?

Use this time of Advent to reflect upon what is really important in your life. What are the things you need and the things you think you need? Remember that when you say ‘yes’ to one thing you are ultimately saying ‘no’ to something else. 

This week make it a priority to go to that place which is your wilderness, where God is waiting to talk to you.

In His Holy presence, our hearts are still and our tongues are silenced creating essential space for us to hear the voice of God.

How are you making a way for Jesus in your life?

Once again, belonging to our parish and Diocesan family calls us out of ourselves, calls us to hear God’s voice and to share that with others. This journey is not something we undertake alone
