Saint Gertrude Parish - Lasne

The word of Jesus frees us from the prison of discouragement and suffering: every prophecy finds its expected fulfillment in Him. It is Christ, in fact, who opens humanity's eyes to the glory of God. He gives voice to the oppressed, from whom violence and hatred have silenced their voices; He overcomes the ideology that deafens us to the truth; He heals the appearances that distort the body.

The Word of life thus redeems us from the evil that leads the heart to death. Therefore, as disciples of the Lord, we are called during this Advent season to unite the expectation of the Savior with attentiveness to what God is doing in the world.
