Prepare for His coming

The second week of Advent - Prepare for His coming



Readings from the Second Sunday of Advent
 Isaiah 40:1-5, 9-11
Psalm 84 (85):9-14
2 Peter 3:8-14
Mark 1:1-8


Isaiah 40
 10  See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power,
    and he rules with a mighty arm.
See, his reward is with him,
    and his recompense accompanies him.
11 He tends his flock like a shepherd:
    he gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
    he gently leads those that have young.

Psalm 84
 12  Lord Almighty,
    blessed is the one who trusts in you.

2 Peter 3
9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance

Mark 1
8 I baptise you with water, but he will baptise you with the Holy Spirit.’


​​​​God wants us to trust in Him and His promises.
God wants us to receive His love, His healing, His graces and blessings and the great gift of the Holy Spirit
