They were crooked, bumpy, rough, rocky or muddy, etc. Therefore, St. John the Baptist told the people of his time how to prepare for the coming of the Redeemer to this world, “Share clothes, food, money, with the person who has none and be satisfied with your wages” (cf.

The rough ways of mockery, she made smooth by prayer.Did MAM help me to understand better, what I can do to prepare the way for Jesus, the Redeemer of the world?
