The Mass of the 2nd Sunday of Advent was celebrated by Bishop Francis Alleyne OSB here at Our Lady of Fatima. Soon after the greeting, Bp Francis read the prayer for the lighting of the Advent wreath candle as the candle was lighted.
The Bishop in his homily likened the call of John the Baptist, a lone voice in the wilderness to the few voices raised in concern over the destruction of the environment. He said that as the call of John the Baptist to repentance and renewal continues to be relevant and should be heard by all he hoped that the world leaders and decision makers gathering in Copenhagen this week for the Climate Change Summit will hear and heed the call of the of those who advocate changes so as to protect our planet. He said that if living conditions were not good in ones country, one could sometimes migrate to another country, but this is not so with our planet, we can’t migrate to another planet.
