An Advent of Inspiration: Day 8!

Today is the Second Sunday of Advent, another candle will be lit in honor of Christ's upcoming birth. Today's gospel is on John the Baptist's call in the wilderness of the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ and his call of repentance “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” John the Baptist truly was the  voice proclaiming inn the wilderness:  "prepare the way of the LORD! Make straight His paths." -Isaiah 40: 3


Day 8: "After me comes he who is mightier than I.....He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." -Mark 1:7-8



Second Sunday of Advent Prayer


Dear Lord,
Through the darkness, I look for your wisdom.
I want my heart to be open to you.
But sometimes in these days, it seems that 
so many things come between us.

Help me to be awake and aware 
of the radiance you bring to my life.
Help me to be grateful each day
for the blessings of family and friends.
Let me be a peacemaker 
in my own life, and in the world. 
Let me pray especially for this difficult world
and those who are so in need of an end to violence.
My heart begs for this as my Advent prayer today.
Amen.

The Second Candle of Advent is lit.



Ta, Ta for Now!
