As it is written in the prophets,
Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,
which shall prepare thy way before thee.
The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make His paths straight.
John did baptize in the wilderness,
and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sin.
Mark 1:2-4
We light this candle as a symbol of
Christ the Way.
May the Word sent from God through the prophets
lead us to the way of salvation.
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.
O God, we have lost our way.
Many today preach social justice rather than the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
They have forgotten that when people hear the Gospel –
and repent and believe –
social justice will follow –
more than “social justice”
radical change occurs when hearts are changed.
Believers really can
“Love their enemies”
“Do good to those who hate them”
Jesus said
I am the Way, the truth, and the life:
no one comes to the Father but by Me.
Jesus Christ is the Way.
As His disciples
we are to point the Way
to share the Gospel
to proclaim Jesus Christ.
Do you know the Way?
