John the Baptist’s words are still a vital call to each of us today 

Reflections on the readings for the Second Sunday of Advent (December 8, 2019): IS 11:1-10; PS 72:1-2,7-8,12-13,17; ROM 15:4-9; MT 3:1-12

MISSIO offers “Preaching Mission,” as a homily help, providing connections to mission from the readings of Sundays, Feast Days and Holy Days. 

This Sunday, as we enter more deeply into the Advent season, we think about our own preparation for the celebration of Jesus’ birth.
