Homily on 12-12-21

During the first week of Advent, we heard about WHO, asking ourselves with whom we're in relationship.  During the second week of Advent, we asked ourselves for WHAT we prepare during Advent.  During this third week of Advent, Deacon Paul Dolan turns us to the WHERE.  Where do we see Jesus today?  Where are our energies focused?  On this Gaudete (translated Rejoice) Sunday, where do we find our joy?  Like a road that needs rebuilding, we need a foundation that is sturdy, dependable, and reliable.  Hopefully we can consider Christ our foundation, the person in whom we find joy and worthy of our energies and focus!
