Second Reading: 1 Thes 5:16-24

"I am the voice of one crying out in the desert"

Today we light the rose-colored candle of the advent wreath, symbolic that we are standing at the threshold of our advent preparations and as we welcome Christ in our hearts.

We focus our attention on John the Baptist as witness to Christ’s coming.
