2nd Sunday of Advent
The Gospel for the Second Sunday of Advent needs explanation because, contrary to a superficial reading of the text, St. John is not doubting that Christ is the Messiah but St. John is directing his disciples away from himself and to the Savior. This Mass is one of sanctity and the importance of good will as we prepare for Christ’s coming at Christmas in our hearts. This week also has wonderful virgin-martyr saints that are models of imitation for us in their prayer life and the good instruction by their parents.
