Sunday, December 4th, Second Sunday of Advent (Deacon Errol)

Deacon Errol preaches at St. Dominic’s on the Second Sunday of Advent about the honesty of John the Baptist and his preaching in the desert. The desert means to be off on your own and nothing to hide and we enter solitude and do some inner work with our relationship with God and to hear something new.  He shares about the promise of a Baptism by water and fire. Both are needed but one is better, one cleanses and makes things new and the other enlightens. Will you hear God’s word this Advent whispered on our mind, heart and lips? and if you do will you trust in it?
