Second Sunday of Advent

Here are the readings for December 6, 2009, the Second Sunday of Advent (cycle C).

Baruch 5: 1-9
Psalm 126: 1-6
Philippians 1: 4-6, 8-11
Luke 3: 1-6

The theme for this Sunday's catechetical session is "Hope for Salvation".

• Why do you think Luke gave so many details about time and place in this passage?
  
• How can you 'prepare the way for the Lord' in your own life?
• Where do you find hope for your faith journey in these readings?
