In these last few days of Advent, I pray that you and your families and friends are blessed with the Lord’s love. I have a simple wish: if you find these podcasts helpful for your faith, please consider giving them as a Christmas “gift” to those you think would enjoy them. You remain in my daily prayers; God bless you all!
Mary, Elizabeth and even baby John the Baptist offer examples of a swift response to the presence of God. Their actions inspire us to consider how we will put the Lord’s prompting into practice today.
Joseph listens to the Angel Gabriel and acts on his word. This decisive, swift response inspires us to reflect on how the Lord is calling us to offer our lives today.
The Psalm response joyously proclaims God’s power to bring justice and peace to our world. As disciples of Jesus Christ we proclaim the Lord’s might and live in his light.
When the disciples of John the Baptist ask Jesus questions about who he is, the Lord responds with references that fulfill the prophecies found in Isaiah. The result? He is the messiah!
The Psalm response echoes a hopeful trust in the goodness and mercy of God. May we turn to the Lord for the guidance we require as we journey through this life to the next.
This homily was preached on December 7th, 2021 at Cathedral of Christ the King. May the Good News inspire us to fearlessly seek out the grace of the Sacrament of Penance as we reconcile our hearts to God.
