John The Baptist: “Make straight...”

John was more popular than Jesus yet he prepared the way by calling people to straighten the way for the Lord.

Were John alive today he would be upbraiding so many who refuse to prepare the way by obtaining the vaccine. A recent headline announced: “AMERICANS HAVE FAILED THE TEST FOR THE COMMON GOOD.”

Only a quarter of our population have obtained the Booster.

This is an assault on the common good.

Health Care workers are in the front lines of a sagging bulwark resisting the virus.

They are in need of our support and prayers.

In today’s Gospel, Mary and Elizabeth rejoice over their pregnancies.

They are both beacons Of Hopeful expectation.

Where there is Love There is always Hope.

in this Advent Darkness opt for Hope.

Get the booster. It is the surest way to show your love for your neighbor.
