Once again this Advent, John the Baptist is the central figure in today's gospel. Once again his humility and faithful witness to the "one who is to come" reminds us that it is Christ who stands at the head of our Christmas feast and indeed our faith itself. Just like today, religious leaders come and question his message because:
Once again, I cannot help but marvel at the one who said of himself:
‘I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness,
“Make straight the way of the Lord” ’,
as the prophet Isaiah said.
John 1:23
May your spiritual and physical preparations for Christmas be blessed this third week of Advent!
