2nd Sunday of Advent

Mark 1:1-8




*Friends, today’s Gospel compels us to come to grips with the great Advent
figure of John the Baptist. It’s really impossible to grasp the
significance of Jesus without passing through the cleansing bath of John
the Baptist. He provides a lens through which Jesus is properly
interpreted.John, we learn today, made his appearance as a preacher in the
desert of Judea. Deserts are places of simplicity and poverty, places where
distractions and attachments are eliminated—and hence where the voice of
God can be heard. Wealth, pleasure, power, honor—and all of their avatars
and priests—are shouting at us, luring us, tempting us. But what is God
saying? We have to go to these silent and deserted places in order to
hear.What is the first thing that the prophet says? We read in another
Gospel that he says, "Reform your lives!" In other words, "Repent!" This
word cuts to the heart of every one of us, precisely because we all know
that our lives are not where they are supposed to be. We have all fallen
short of the glory of God; we have all fallen into patterns of
self-absorption and addiction. So let us hear John’s word today: "Repent!"*
