2020.12.13 - Third Sunday of Advent (John 1:6-8, 19-28) It's John the Baptist again this week. While we wait for God, our lives must give witness to the love of God through our very efforts as disciples. How will our voice of love be heard in our actions? The Opening Prayer mentioned in my Fervorino: O God, whose will is justice for the poor and peace for the afflicted, let your herald's voice pierce our hardened hearts and announce the dawn of your kingdom. Before the advent of the one who baptizes with the fire of the Holy Spirit, let our complacency give way to conversion, oppression to justice, and conflict to acceptance of one another in Christ. We ask this through him whose comi...

The place we really live our faith is not in a church. It is in the desert of our workplaces, our schools, our streets, our homes. There is no other place for the world to hear our call to prepare the way of the Lord, to join us on the way of and to the Lord.

Saint John the Baptist reminds us that as Christians we are called to make straight the crooked paths and declare a year acceptable to the Lord. First Reading Isaiah 61:1-2a,10-11 The Lord’s salvation will be made known to the poor and the oppressed. Responsorial Psalm Luke 1:46-50,53-54 Mary sings praise to God. Second Reading 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 Paul encourages the Thessalonians to rejoice and pray always. Gospel Reading John 1:6-8,19-28 John gives testimony that he is preaching and baptizing in order to prepare for the coming of another.

Fr. Jeremy shares a reflection for Advent.

(A classroom prayer service can be found below) When I got married more than fifteen years ago, I got to share an incredibly important day with friends and family from my past. They were there because they were invited... in much the same way as God has often used prophets like St. John the Baptist to invite us into relationship with Him, as we hear in this Sunday's Gospel. The full text of all this week's Mass readings are available at https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/121320.cfm 1. Begin with the Sign of the Cross. 2. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John (1:6-8, 19-28): A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all m...

There is true joy in the Lord. Third Sunday of Advent Lectionary: 8 Reading 1 Is 61:1-2a, 10-11 The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, to announce a year of favor from the LORD and a day of vindication by our God. I rejoice heartily in the LORD, in my God is the joy of my soul; for he has clothed me with a robe of salvation and wrapped me in a mantle of justice, like a bridegroom adorned with a diadem, like a bride bedecked with her jewels. As the earth brings forth its plants, and a garden makes its growth sprin...
