Today we celebrate the 2nd Sunday of Advent. The word Advent means – “come†and we ask Our Lord and Master to come second time, it means that we are waiting on Christ coming here and now.
In this Liturgical Time we have two people for good example, who have the very special attitude of waiting. These persons are: St. John the Baptist and Blessed Virgin Mary.
Today’s Sunday is especially dedicated to St. John the Baptist. This man was the herald of the coming of Jesus, he called people to reform those lives, and also he reformed his own life to show people how they have to act.
