Confess, and Have a Happy Christmas! – Dec 24 – Homily – Fr Andre

 

On Christmas Eve (Dec 24, 2019, Tuesday in the Fourth Week of Advent), Fr. Andre comments on the “Benedictus” recounted in today’s Gospel—the prayer-song of Zechariah, John the Baptist’s father.  John the Baptist prepared the way of the Lord by proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins (cf Mk 1:4). What applied then still applies now: in order to prepare for the coming of Our Savior, we must repent and make a good confession of our sins.

Ave Maria!
