Fr. Jose – Parish Priest

Dear family members and friends: We are entering the second Sunday of Advent which symbolizes Peace. It denotes the expectation that there will be peace on earth after all divisions and destruction. Jesus is the King of peace and we expect the establishment of peace through Jesus. Today’s Gospel brings to us the message given through John the Baptist to “repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” It is really the invite to prepare the way for the Lord, and make straight paths for him. Through the observation of the days of the Advent, let us prepare the way for the Lord by our prayers, sacrifices and good deeds of charity. Let us specially pray for the peace in the world, especially in those places where there are all types of atrocities and problems. Amen
