Message of the Week
Second Sunday of Advent
John’s preaching of repentance is not meant to be
some finger-wagging moralistic ultimatum by
which he attempts to “scare” us into holiness. Ra-
ther, he preaches to prepare us for the One our
heart has always been waiting for. “Repent, for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand.” “The kingdom of
God means Christ himself “(CCC2816) . For a thing
can only be received according to the actual deposi-
tion of the one who is receive it . So John preaches
that “we might have hope” in the One who will
come with “the Holy Spirt and fire,” who will tame
what is savage in wild beasts, who will put a halt to
harm and ruin, who will decide alright for the
land’s afflicted. With sure hope of all this, there is
nothing more reasonable than repentance—that is,
changing in us whatever reasonable than repent-
ance — that is, changing in us whatever keeps us
from saying Yes to it all.
