Saturday of the Second Week of Advent

“As they were coming down from the mountain, the disciples asked Jesus, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" He said in reply, "Elijah will indeed come and restore all things; but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him but did to him whatever they pleased. So also will the Son of Man suffer at their hands." Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.” – Matthew 17:9-13

It is our turn to proclaim the coming of the Messiah. Today, tomorrow, and all the days that follow, we must be bold, shouting out like John the Baptist,

“I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, “Make straight the way of the Lord,”’ as Isaiah the prophet said.” -John 1:23
