The Second Sunday of Advent invites us to reflect on the message of John the Baptist, who calls us to repentance. Though this call can feel challenging, John reminds us that repentance is not about fear—it is about returning to. God, who offers healing, liberation, and limitless forgiveness Father Pat. reminds us that part of our preparation for the Christmas season is not only remember when Jesus was born, but to also prepare for the wonderful acts of mercy that God is ready to bestow upon you.
