On the Third Sunday of Advent, John the Baptist asks a question many faithful hearts eventually face: Are you the one, or should we look for another? From a prison cell, John voices the tension of waiting, disappointment, and hope that has not yet been fulfilled.
Drawing from the Gospel, Isaiah, and the Letter of James, this homily reflects on patience, quiet growth, and the strange joy of Gaudete Sunday. Christ does not wait for the desert to improve before He comes. He enters it and begins the work of new life.
Preached at Saint Edward Catholic Church and Saint Thomas Mission Chapel on December 14, 2025.
