Have a good day!

Third Sunday of Advent

☆ Gospel:Matthew 11:2-11
2
Now when John had news in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples
3
To say to him, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?
4
And Jesus, answering, said to them, Go and give news to John of the things which you are seeing and hearing:
5
The blind see; those who were not able to, are walking; lepers are made clean; those who were without hearing, now have their ears open; the dead come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.
6
And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.
7
And when they were going away, Jesus, talking of John, said to all the people, What went you out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?
8
But what went you out to see? a man delicately clothed? Those who have fair robes are in kings' houses.
9
But why did you go out? to see a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
10
This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.
11
Truly I say to you, Among the sons of women there has not been a greater than John the Baptist: but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

☆ Isaiah 35:1-6a, 10
1
The waste land and the dry places will be glad; the lowland will have joy and be full of flowers.
2
It will be flowering like the rose; it will be full of delight and songs; the glory of Lebanon will be given to it; the pride of Carmel and Sharon: they will see the glory of the Lord, the power of our God.
3
Make strong the feeble hands, give support to the shaking knees.
4
Say to those who are full of fear, Be strong and take heart: see, your God will give punishment; the reward of God will come; he himself will come to be your saviour.
5
Then the eyes of the blind will see, and the ears which are stopped will be open.
6a
Then will the feeble-footed be jumping like a roe, and the voice which was stopped will be loud in song:
10
Even those whom he has made free, will come back again; they will come with songs to Zion; on their heads will be eternal joy; delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.

☆ James 5:7-10
7
Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.
8
Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.
9
Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.
10
Take as an example of pain nobly undergone and of strength in trouble, the prophets who gave to men the words of the Lord.
