Week of December 4, 2022 – Repentance

Second Week of Advent



Gospel Reflections: A moment of reflection

 



Bishop Mueggenborg invites us to reflect with him on the Gospel from the Second Sunday of Advent (Matthew 3:1-12).

 

Today we are called to realize conversion is the moment when we turn towards God’s mercy, presence, and love in our lives. We are not called only to acknowledge this presence in our lives, but to actively turn towards it.
