Homily for the second week of Advent.

Juan Diego has a message for the bishop, who does not listen to him. Similarly, Jesus’s message delivered at synagogue, which communicated that God’s grace extends to all people, even those outside the tribe or borders, was not well received. This leads us to ponder when we put ourselves in a position where it becomes difficult to hear someone else’s message. In the song “Do You Hear What I Hear”, the shepherd boy converses with a mighty king, one of the magi, who is willing to listen to someone of lower status because the truth holds authority. 

Gospel Matthew 11:11-15
