A guest homily by Fr. Marcus Tinajero, our assisting priest.
Text: Matthew 11:2-10 You may have seen a silly meme floating around Social Media this month, in which there’s a shot of a stern-looking John the Baptist as portrayed in one of the 1970’s-era Jesus movies, captioned with the words, “Happy Advent, you brood of vipers!” in a rather angry red font.

[the infographic from Crossway] Text: Romans 15:4-8 I was blessed to be raised in a Christian home that valued Bible reading. As a child, my mother read a chapter of the Old Testament, a chapter of the New Testament, a Psalm, and a chapter of Proverbs to us each day. My father’s custom of the…
