3rd Sunday Advent B 14 December 2008

Click here to download and listen to this homily (16 minutes) given by Fr. Thomas Weise at the 5:30 pm Mass.  Just as a character witness gives testimony in a court trial so do we give testimony to Jesus by the way we live our lives.  How is our witness to Jesus?  Does every one around us know of the Love of God for everyone by how we care for our neighbor?  Grumpy Christians are a counter witness to the Glory of God found burning brightly in each one of us.  Bishop Michael Kenny was an attractive witness to the Gospel.  May we do the same with God's help.

Readings: Isaiah 61:1-2a, 10-11; Luke 1:46-54; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24; John 1:6-8, 19-28
