The winding roads shall be made straight and the rough ways made smooth...

Prepare the way of the Lord,
make straight his paths.
Every valley shall be filled
and every mountain and hill shall be made low.
The winding roads shall be made straight,
and the rough ways made smooth,
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.


These words are from the prophet Isaiah and quoted in this Sunday's gospel for the Second Sunday of Advent. For the texts of the readings and background material on them - and for hints on helping children prepare to hear the Lord's Word, too - check this earlier post.
