2nd Sunday Advent Year C

Lk 3:1-6 [Year C]

[1] In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiber'i-us Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Iturae'a and Trachoni'tis, and Lysa'ni-as tetrarch of Abile'ne,

[2] in the high-priesthood of Annas and Ca'iaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechari'ah in the wilderness;

[3] and he went into all the region about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

[4] As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

[5] Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

[6] and all flesh shall see the salvation of God."

Reflection:

1. In advent we celebrate the comings of Christ especially his first coming. His kinsman John the Baptist was the one who prepared the way for Jesus and baptized him when he first appeared in public.Advent draws attention to those who prepared the way for Jesus, especially Isaiah, John and Mary, his mother thus inviting us to prepare the way for him also.. For this and next Sun we learn about John and then the attention turns to Our Lady for the final Sunday. This is the Year of Luke so all the Sunday passages are taken from Luke.
