THE SECOND CANDLE BRIGHTENING OUR ADVENT WREATH - A LIGHT OF UNITY IN REPENTANCE...........

The challenge of responding in Living Faith to call of Isaiah, Peter, Mark, and John the Baptist, into the Sacred Scriptures of this 2nd Sunday of Advent : Repentance, Readiness, Holiness, Devotion, Conversion, as we Prepare the Lord's Way, are symbolized in the growing brightness of the Advent Wreath, a Light of Unity.  As Advent People of God, we need to be united in the anticipation of the Lord's Coming, by repenting of our sins and shortcomings, and in our readiness to prepare and straighten the paths of our lives in Faith, Hope, and Love, as we Watch and Wait for Jesus' Coming this Christmas, Everyday of the Advent Season, and throughout the year, as well as in His Second Coming in escathological Glory.  As the Light of our Advent wreathes in church and at home, increase in brightness around the circle of evergreens, may the Anticipation and Unity, we seek, and we need, increase our commitment to Jesus The Christ and His Three-fold Coming for our Salvation and the Redemption of the world...........Maranatha !  Come Lord Jesus, Come !!!!!!!!!!!   Fr.  Troy
