'We know his decision.'

I like to think that today's Gospel builds on the Godspell hint that John's recognition of Jesus wasn't instantaneous

We are more alike than different

Mary deserves a feast day of the highest rank celebrating a mystery of faith

What one word sums up your feelings about Advent?
