On this second Sunday of Advent, we hear from John the Baptist to ‘Repent’. I’d bet most of us think of repentance like a warning to those sinners who live away from God and His Church. So, we don’t take these words too seriously, since we are baptized Christians, who pray often, practice their faith- there is nothing to repent from. However, John the Baptists tells us that there is much more in preparing the way for the Lord than just practicing our faith. We need to grow, and we need to bear fruit. We need to tell this world that Christ is coming, and our mission is to warn and prepare others. We need to live our lives in a way that helps others to return and to prepare the way for the Lord. “Therefore, every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
