Sunday Evangelium - Totus2us

Fr Marcus: "Christmas is not just a memory or an aspiration. It is a living experience because the babe who was born still lives and we receive him whom the angels adored. The very word Christmas means the Mass of Christ. We celebrate Christmas by getting in on the act, by gazing in wonder like the shepherds and adoring like the wise men. 'Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make straight his paths.' That is not just a historical call, it is a call to us today. The spirit of Advent present is also the spirit of John the Baptist. He is the last prophet but he is also the first Christian convert, sanctified in his mother's womb. Our faith must lead to conversion - he calls us to repent - it must also lead to action .. Advent is one of the 2 most important times of the year to go to confession .. The message of Advent present is that God can and will surprise us: be not afraid." Music by Edwin Fawcett.
