PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD
The Second Sunday of Advent invites us to listen to the powerful voice of John the Baptist crying out in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.” (Matthew 3:3). As we light the second candle of the Advent wreath, we are reminded that preparation for the coming of Christ begins in the heart — through repentance, renewal, and the pursuit of peace. The Advent light grows brighter, symbolizing our growing readiness to welcome the Savior who brings life and hope to the world.
This Sunday’s liturgy calls us to a deep and active waiting — not a passive anticipation, but a joyful readiness that bears fruit in our daily lives. We are invited to clear away the obstacles that distance us from God and others, to reconcile, and to open our hearts fully to the transforming grace of Christ. As Isaiah foretells, the Spirit of the Lord will bring forth justice, wisdom, and harmony for all creation.
We are happy to share here the liturgical materials for the Second Sunday of Advent — including the Mass introduction, reflections, prayers, and theme posters — to help every community prepare and celebrate this holy season with faith and joy.
