The Second Sunday of Advent is now behind us, and as of this
writing, Christmas is 18 days away. So let’s take an inventory of Advent so
far? Has the priority been shopping, party-planning, flight-booking, etc? Or
has significant time been spent to “prepare the way of the Lord, [and] make
straight His paths”? Whether you answered “yes” to the first or second question,
there is still time to prepare. One of the best ways is to head to the
Sacrament of Reconciliation.
John the Baptist proclaimed a baptism of repentance for the
forgiveness of sins; however, it wasn’t until Jesus’ death on the Cross that Baptism
had that power. Baptism can only occur once in a lifetime though, and I’m
pretty sure you’ve sinned since then. Luckily, the sins committed since then can
be absolved in Reconciliation. Enter the Christmas season purified and ready to
receive the Christ the Newborn King, run to the Sacrament of Reconciliation!
