Click here to down load and listen to this homily (13 minutes) was given by Fr. Thomas Weise at the 5:30 pm Mass. A voice cries out ready the way of the Lord. What have we done this Advent to ready the guest room of our heart? How full of junk is it? What have we done or what will we do to take down the mountains of arrogance and prejudice? What have we done or what will we do to build up the valleys of low self esteem? Both arrogance and low self worth will make it more difficult for the Lord to come to us and we to go to the Lord.
