The Second Week of Advent
Dear my friends,
Here is the Gospel for us today according to Matthew 11:16-19
Jesus Christ says, “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places and calling to their playmates, `We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, `He has a demon’; the Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, `Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”
This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

IN the Gospel today, we meet Jesus Christ who teaches us how we have to seek God’s way of peace and wisdom for our lives. He reminds us that God’s kingdom is available to those who are teachable and receptive to the word of God.
Jesus challenges us to be teachable and receptive to the word of God. We are warned to be in tune with the message of God’s kingdom. We have to heed God’s word of wisdom and truth as if our lives depended on it.
In the Perpetual Adoration of the Eucharist, while worshipping Jesus Christ we ask him to heal us from spiritual indifference and deaf ears which can block God’s word for us. We also learn to know the joy and blessing of believing and obeying God’s word.
Let’s pray: Lord Jesus Christ, help us to open our ears to hear the good news of your kingdom. Set our heart free to love and serve you joyfully now and forever. Amen.
