Good morning my dear brothers and sisters in Christ!
Praised be Jesus and Mary!
We are now in the second week of Advent. We ask Jesus to
change us as we prepare for his second coming. Our Gospel today reminds us that Jesus takes the same path in God’s service. It is the way of the cross, of pain and suffering, of sacrifice and self-giving. He challenges us to preach God by our lives and our crosses. And so in this eucharistic celebration we pray that we will given courage in our hearts and mind to follow the exemplary life of Jesus. Please stand as we joyfully sing our entrance song together with our mass presider Rev. Fr. Julius Capongpongan.
