Homily from the Second Sunday of Advent.

God will bring the work He has begun to completion.

We can do so many things in the Christian life that are important. But if we miss the most important aspect of following Christ, our lives will be incomplete. We are called to love...and yet we do not have it in us to be able to love the way we need to. Thankfully, God meets us in our need and our lack and supplies us with all we need.

Baruch 5:1-9
Ps 126:1-6
Philippians 1:4-6, 8-11
