Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 1,1-8.
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ (the Son of God).
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way.
A voice of one crying out in the desert: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.'”
John (the) Baptist appeared in the desert proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
People of the whole Judean countryside and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they acknowledged their sins.
John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He fed on locusts and wild honey.
And this is what he proclaimed: “One mightier than I is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals.
I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the holy Spirit.”
I am not worthy.
1) Messenger: You and I are messengers in this time of Advent. We are here to announce to others that God is present in our lives. The year cannot end without this celebration in our lives; it is the message of hope that we must transmit to others. You and I received the call to be messengers when we received the sacrament of baptism. We must show how hope lives within us, because we are all messengers of hope. Please do not forget that .
2) Shout: Today we are confronted with a society who is asleep… To share the message of God, we must “shout loudly” with our actions. Don’t focus on the injustices or being victims. Continue to fight until the end. We must speak out loud that God is Love, and His Love is what protects us.
3) I am not worthy: Humility is a gift from God that must be present in our lives. It is learning to build from the roots; from the profound and from the simple. Please stay away from the virus of ostentation; learn to do and disappear. Work for God’s glory, not your own, so that God will be the only one highlighted in everything we do.
God-bless you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Remember, heaven is our goal !
