Summary

Homily from the Third Sunday of Advent.

Be patient with the Lord, the process, and yourself.

We often find it difficult to wait for things to come to us. During this season of Advent, we can also struggle with the feeling that "nothing is happening". During this time, we need to be reminded that God is closer than we think; He is in each moment and in each step...and remember to be patient.

Mass Readings from December 11, 2022:
Isaiah 35:1-6, 10
Psalms 146:6-10
James 5:7-10
