Second Sunday of Advent
I baptise you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Matthew 3:11 John the Baptist had an important hope-filled message announcing what people could do to prepare for Jesus’ arrival. His message helps us today to live our journey of faith – the decisions we make about how we live and love today help us to live life to the full in God’s presence.

'I Trust in Jesus'
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus warns His disciples of difficult times ahead. Our prayers, inspired by the 'Litany of Trust' from the Sisters of Life remind us that even in times of trouble, Jesus is always there for us.
