Dear Parish Family:

When John the Baptist saw the rival sects of Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he called them a “brood of vipers” and demanded that they give evidence that their repentance was sincere. The biblical definition of the word “justice” means to be “in a right relationship.” Injustice means not only inequality, but especially, “broken relationships.” Healing requires risk on the part of both the one who has been hurt and the part of the one who inflicted the injury. In many cases, when the injured one acknowledges the offense and the associated pain and alienation, the guilty party is no longer on the scene – often deceased. Advent reminds us all that the genuine source of healing is already in our midst and is calling us to a radical trust that yields renewed hope. A community whose hallmark is hope makes the prophetic dream of transformation more realistic. Such is the sentiment of St. Paul’s words to the people of Rome:

“May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 15:5-6)

Yours in Emmanuel,
Father Bill Foley
