12/16/18: 3rd Sunday of Advent: What John the Baptist Tells Us to Do to Prepare for Jesus

In today's Gospel we have featured once again the great Advent figure, St. John the Baptist. Last week we saw how he directed the people to repent of their sins in order to prepare for the coming of the Messiah, their Savior, into their hearts. Having repented, today we hear how the people asked, "Now what do we do?" What should we do? A great question for us to make as we continue to prepare to welcome Christ anew into our hearts this Christmas.
