Bp. Barron's Advent Reflections
-
Friends, today we celebrate the great feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. What followed the apparition of Mary at Tepeyac is one of the most astounding chapters in the history of Christian evangelism...

Fr. John's Corner
”Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths“ A voice of one crying out in the desert: “These are the words of John the Baptist in our gospel today. Scripture can use poetic verse to make a point and to express urgency. The word “cry” is not something you and I do regularly. We usually use it when referring to our children. But, I wonder if John was so passionate that he actually “cried” out when speaking to those who came to him in the wilderness.
Reflecting a bit when I was in my teen years, my father used to say “do I have to yell?” Of course, he was expressing his exasperation when he tried to get us to do something we didn’t want to do. Sometimes it takes someone doing or saying things differently to get us to move. John the Baptist knew this. I think the same is true throughout history. Prophetic voices have raised their “cries” so that you and I can hear them. Often times, these cries alarm us or worse, irritate us. But, that is often how change happens. As Christians, we are in a constant state of change. From our youth to our dying years, we are called to spiritual change. We call this “metanoia”. A Greek word that means “a transformative change of heart”. Not just the mind, but the heart.
So, this Advent season is our gift. It alerts us and “cries” out to us! Let’s open our hearts and minds to a more intense change that we already want in our life for God.
Happy Advent,
Fr.John
