Audio: Third Sunday of Advent

"St John the Baptist in the Prison”, Juan Fernandez de Navarrete, c. 1565. Public domain

When John the Baptist heard in prison of the works of the Christ, 
he sent his disciples to Jesus with this question, 
"Are you the one who is to come,
or should we look for another?"
