New Advent Reflection from Saint Francis Parish and Outreach

This week’s Scriptures call us to prepare the way of the Lord by walking with the stranger, defending the vulnerable, and welcoming those who seek refuge. Isaiah, Paul, and John the Baptist remind us that real faith produces real action and real hospitality.

In our reflection we also look honestly at how immigrants are treated in our nation today and why this conflicts with the Gospel and the long Christian tradition of welcoming the stranger. The early Church taught very clearly that the foreigner belongs to God and that loving the stranger is a command, not an option.

Read the full reflection on our website and join us as we walk with immigrants, neighbors experiencing homelessness, and all who come to our doors seeking hope.
