The Collect for the Second Sunday of Advent asks God to “give us the grace to heed the warnings of the prophets to preach repentance and forsake our sins, (so) that we may greet with joy the coming of Jesus Christ our Redeemer.” We are reminded that repentance is not a single act but an ongoing responsiveness to the will of God. During this second week of Advent, we invite you to reflect on how you have participated in the sins of racism, racial supremacy, and anti-Black bias.
What can you offer to God, and to your neighbor, on your path to reconciliation?
