In today's Gospel from Mark, we are introduced to the ministry of John the Baptist as preparing the way for Christ.John preached a baptism of repentance, asking the people to give up the paths of sin and return to God.What better preparation is there for the coming for the Lord than giving up the paths of sin?.During these days of Christmas, our hearts should also undergo purification. We know what our Lord wants from us.
What better way is there for us not only to give up our sinful habits but also to fill our hearts with love. We shall ask the Lord to increase the power of love in our lives--to be more considerate, gentle and forgiving.
