Reflection

3RD SUNDAY OF ADVENT YEAR A

Theme: Joyful in hope

1st Reading: Isaiah, chapter 35: 1 – 6a, 10: The prophet Isaiah paints a picture of hope for a people who are in exile, and for many of us who are about to give up because of hardships and uncertainties. Our suffering, he says, shall soon be a thing of the past, because our God is here!

2nd Reading: The letter of James, chapter 5: 7 – 10: As the farmer waits patiently between planting and harvesting, or as the prophets of old kept their faith and hope alive, so must believers wait for the return of the Lord.

Gospel Reading: Matthew, chapter 11: 2 –11: We sometimes wonder, as John the Baptist did, whether Jesus is the Messiah. The Lord invites all of us to see the miracles that are occurring before our own eyes!
