Sing to the Lord a New Song!
…2Let Israel be glad in his Maker; Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King. 3Let them praise His name with dancing; Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre. 4For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation.…

"Holiness is a disposition of the heart that makes us humble and little in the arms of God, aware of our weakness, and confident -- in the most audacious way -- in His Fatherly goodness."

Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament

We will read this Sunday's Gospel  together 

in preparation for the Third Sunday of Advent~ Gaudete Sunday

Matthew 11: 2-11

Reflection Questions:

1. What struck you most in this passage?  

What did you notice that you hadn't noticed before?

2. If God really wanted people to recognize Jesus as the Messiah, couldn't he have made it more obvious?  Many of Jesus' contemporaries didn't believe in him.  Could God have done anthing more to convince them?

3. Today's Christian can see many more signs than John the Baptist's disciples could, especially the endurance and growth of the Catholic Church and the lives of thousands of saints.  Why do Christians still struggle to obey God's will? Why do nonbelievers resist all these signs?  

4. How can we be better signs of Christ's truth for those around us?
