Encounter brings you a weekly podcast for the 4 Sundays of Advent. In each episode, one of our parishioners will reflect on the weekly Advent theme, Opening our lives to Christ, and the Sunday gospel reading. We asked members of our community for their reflections because God calls each of us to witness our faith to others. This week, Alonso Rigg reflects on the story of John the Baptist, who reminds us to repent and turn towards God. He says our lives can be much better when we do. (Matthew 3:1-12)
