Second Sunday-Advent Year A (Is: 11:1-10, Rm:4-9, Mt: 3;1-12)

Theme: Change Your Hearts.

The Lord came two thousand years ago, but he is like your shoot still has to grow in the world. Jesus has not yet come in so many places and in so many situations. In todays’ Gospel, the Baptist tells us what we should do to prepare the way and to clear the road. We should ask ourselves which walls are separating us from our brothers, which barriers hinder harmony and sharing within our families, our communities, our nations. The second reading explains the feelings we must cultivate and foster as members of All Saints Parish so that the Lord may be able to visit it. The first reading describes the new world that has already dawned and that will be manifested when the advent of the Lord is achieved in all fulness.
