First Reading (Isaiah 61: 1–2 and 10–11)
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up broken hearts, to proclaim liberty to the captives, freedom to those languishing in prison; to announce the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God; to give comfort to all who grieve. I rejoice greatly in the Lord, my soul exults for joy in my God, for he has clothed me in the garments of his salvation, he has covered me with the robe of his righteousness, like a bridegroom wearing a garland, like a bride adorned with jewels. For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden makes seeds spring up, so will the Lord God make justice and praise spring up in the sight of all nations.
Second Reading (1 Thessalonians 5: 16–24)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians.
Brothers and sisters: Rejoice always, pray without ceasing and give thanks to God at every moment. This is the will of God, your vocation as Christians. Do not quench the Spirit, do not despise the prophets' warnings. Put everything to the test and hold fast to what is good. Avoid evil, wherever it may be. May the God of Peace make you holy and bring you to perfection. May you be completely blameless, in spirit, soul, and body, till the coming of Christ Jesus, our Lord; he who called you is faithful and will do it.
Gospel (John 1: 6–8 and 19–28)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
A man came, sent by God; his name was John. He came to bear witness, as a witness to introduce the Light so that all might believe through him. He was not the Light but a witness to introduce the Light. This was the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites to ask him, "Who are you?" John recognized the truth and did not deny it. He stated, "I am not the Messiah." And they asked him, "Then who are you? Elijah?" He answered, "I am not." They asked, "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No." Then they stated to him, "Tell us who you are, so that we can give some answer to those who sent us. How do you see yourself?" And John stated, quoting the prophet Isaiah, "I am the voice crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord." Those who had been sent were Pharisees; so they put a further question to John: "Then why are you baptizing if you are not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?" John answered, "I baptize you with water, but among you stands one whom you do not know; although he comes after me, I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandal." This happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

See, your God comes, demanding justice. He is the God who rewards, the God who comes to save you.'"

This is a prayer led by one of the children:
Dear God, John is your messenger — the man who is to prepare the road for our Savior. Grant that as we travel the road he teaches, we too may be like him, messengers that can guide others to Your path of peace. Amen.
Priest: Heavenly Father, let love, respect and goodness reign in our hearts and never let the evil one and worldly desires snatch away our happiness and the reward of living forever with You. Instead, make us stand firm by Your word, faithful and loyal to Your instructions. Make us holy in every way and keep our whole being faultless at the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

ReplyDeleteMay the sacrifice of our worship, Lord, we pray, be offered to you unceasingly, to complete what was begun in sacred mystery and powerfully accomplish for us your saving work; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
ReplyDeleteIt is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God, through Christ our Lord. For he assumed at his first coming the lowliness of human flesh, and so fulfilled the design you formed long ago, and opened for us the way to eternal salvtion, that, when he comes again in glory and majesty and all is at made manifest, we who watch for that day may inherit the great promise in which now we dare to hope. And so, with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominions, and with all the hosts and Powers of heaven as we sing the hymn of your glory, as without end we acclaim. (After this, you sing the Sanctus.)
ReplyDeleteWe implore your mercy, Lord, that this divine sustenance may cleanse us for our faults and prepare us for the coming feasts; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
ReplyDeleteIn this Eucharist we heard the words of the prophet Isaiah: "The Spirit of the Lord is upom me; he sent me to bring Good News to the poor." At the beginning of his preaching, Jesus uses the same words about himself. Amen.

If we can do this, then Christ is working in us and he is present in this world. May we carry out this task with joy, and with the blessing of almighty God: the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Mass has ended, and you are sent. May the Lord go with you wherever you go. Thanks be to God.

ReplyDeleteI would like to congratulate Sean for completing his first semester on being a sophomore. Good luck with the final three exams of mathematics, English, and geography. Then a happy Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Sean for completing the first semester and two days of exams. The Spanish exam was easy, but the Science was wow. Sean had trouble on it. Hopefully he should retain his reputation and will not flunk out.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. But Paulus, do you think it would be libel that Sean takes the exam and flunks out? Of course not. He has a life too you know, he must move on with the good times and bad times.
ReplyDeletePrimera Lectura (Isaías 61: 1–2 y 10–11)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del profeta Isaías.
¡El Espíritu del Señor Yahvé está sobre mí! sepan que Yahvé me ha ungido. Me ha enviado con un buen mensaje para los humildes, para sanar los corazones heridos, para anunciar a los desterrados su liberación, y a los presos su vuelta a la luz. Para publicar un año feliz lleno de los favores de Yahvé, y el día del desquite de nuestro Dios. Me envió para consolar a los que lloran. Salto de alegría delante de Yahvé, y mi alma se alegra en mi Dios, pues él me puso ropas de salvación y me abrigó con el chal de la justicia, como el novio se coloca su corona, o como la esposa se arregla con sus joyas. Pues así como brotan de la tierra las semillas o como aparecen las plantitas en el jardín, así el Señor Yahvé hará brotar la justicia y la alabanza a la vista de todas las naciones.
Salmo responsorial (Lucas 1: 46–50 y 53–54)
La respuesta es: Mi alma se alegra en mi Dios.
• María dijo entonces: “Mi alma canta la grandeza del Señor, y mi espíritu se estremece de gozo en Dios, mi salvador, porque el miró con bondad la pequeñez de tu servidora.”
• “En adelante todas las generaciones me llamarán feliz, porque el Todopoderoso he hecho en mí grandes cosas: ¡su Nombre es santo! Su misericordia se extiende de generación en generación sobre aquellos que lo temen.”
• “Colmó de bienes a los hambrientos y despidió a los ricos con las manos vacías. Socorrió a Israel, su servidor, acordándose de su misericordia.”
Segunda Lectura (1 Tesalonicenses 5: 16–24)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Pablo a los tesalonicenses.
Estén siempre alegres. Oren sin cesar. Den gracias a Dios en toda ocasión: esto es lo que Dios quiere de todos ustedes, en Cristo Jesús. No extingan la acción del Espíritu; no desprecien las profecías; examínenlo todo y quédense con lo bueno. Cuídense del mal en todas sus formas. Que el Dios de la paz los santifique plenamente, para que ustedes se conserven irreprochables en todo su ser espíritu, alma y cuerpo. hasta la Venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. El que los llama es fiel, y así lo hará.
Evangelio (Juan 1: 6–8 y 19–28)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Juan.
Apareció un hombre enviado por Dios, que se llamaba Juan. Vino como testigo, para dar testimonio de la luz, para que todos creyeran por medio de él. Él no era luz, sino el testigo de la luz. Este es el testimonio que dio Juan, cuando los judíos enviaron sacerdotes y levitas desde Jerusalén, para preguntarle: “¿Quién eres tú?” Él confesó y no lo ocultó, sino que dijo claramente: “Yo no soy el Mesías.” “¿Quién eres, entonces?” Le preguntaron: “¿Eres Elías?” Juan dijo: “No.” “¿Eres el Profeta?” “Tampoco,” respondió. Ellos insistieron: “¿Quién eres, para que podamos dar una respuesta a los que nos han enviado? ¿Qué dices de ti mismo?” Y él les dijo: “Yo soy una voz que grita en el desierto: Allanen el camino del Señor, como dijo el profeta Isaías.” Algunos de los enviados eran fariseos, y volvieron a preguntarle: “¿Por qué bautizas, entonces, si tú no eres el Mesías, ni Elías, ni el Profeta?” Juan respondió: “Yo bautizo con agua, pero en medio de ustedes hay alguien al que ustedes no conocen: él viene después de mí, y yo no soy digno de desatar la correa de su sandalia.” Todo esto sucedió en Betania, al otro lado del Jordán donde Juan bautizaba.
Bacaan Pertama (Yesaya 61: 1–2 dan 10–11)
ReplyDeletePembacaan dari kitab dari nabi Yesaya.
Roh Tuhan ALLAH ada padaku, oleh karena TUHAN telah mengurapi aku; Ia telah mengutus aku untuk menyampaikan kabar baik kepada orang-orang sengsara, dan merawat orang-orang yang remuk hati, untuk memberitakan pembebasan kepada orang-orang tawanan, dan kepada orang-orang yang terkurung kelepasan dari penjara, untuk memberitakan tahun rahmat TUHAN dan hari pembalasan Allah kita, untuk menghibur semua orang berkabung. Aku bersukaria di dalam TUHAN, jiwaku bersorak-sorai di dalam Allahku, sebab Ia mengenakan pakaian keselamatan kepadaku dan menyelubungi aku dengan jubah kebenaran, seperti pengantin laki-laki yang mengenakan perhiasan kepala dan seperti pengantin perempuan yang memakai perhiasannya. Sebab seperti bumi memancarkan tumbuh-tumbuhan, dan seperti kebun menumbuhkan benih yang ditaburkan, demikianlah Tuhan ALLAH akan menumbuhkan kebenaran dan puji-pujian di depan semua bangsa-bangsa.
Mazmur (Lukas 1: 46–50 dan 53–54)
Tanggapan adalah: Jiwaku bergembira karena Allahku.
• Lalu kata Maria: Jiwaku memuliakan Tuhan, dan hatiku bergembira karena Allah, Juruselamatku, sebab Ia telah memperhatikan kerendahan hamba-Nya.
• Sesungguhnya, mulai dari sekarang segala keturunan akan menyebut aku berbahagia, karena Yang Mahakuasa telah melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan besar kepadaku dan nama-Nya adalah kudus. Dan rahmat-Nya turun-temurun atas orang yang takut akan Dia.
• Ia melimpahkan segala yang baik kepada orang yang lapar, dan menyuruh orang yang kaya pergi dengan tangan hampa; Ia menolong Israel, hamba-Nya, karena Ia mengingat rahmat-Nya.
Bacaan Kedua (1 Tesalonika 5: 16–24)
Pembacaan dari surat Paulus kepada jemaat di Tesalonika.
Bersukacitalah senantiasa. Tetaplah berdoa. Mengucap syukurlah dalam segala hal, sebab itulah yang dikehendaki Allah di dalam Kristus Yesus bagi kamu. Janganlah padamkan Roh, dan janganlah anggap rendah nubuat-nubuat. Ujilah segala sesuatu dan peganglah yang baik. Jauhkanlah dirimu dari segala jenis kejahatan. Semoga Allah damai sejahtera menguduskan kamu seluruhnya dan semoga roh, jiwa dan tubuhmu terpelihara sempurna dengan tak bercacat pada kedatangan Yesus Kristus, Tuhan kita. Ia yang memanggil kamu adalah setia, Ia juga akan menggenapinya.
Bacaan Injil (Yohanes 1: 6–8 dan 19–28)
Pembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Santo Yohanes.
Datanglah seorang yang diutus Allah, namanya Yohanes; ia datang sebagai saksi untuk memberi kesaksian tentang terang itu, supaya oleh dia semua orang menjadi percaya. Ia bukan terang itu, tetapi ia harus memberi kesaksian tentang terang itu. Dan inilah kesaksian Yohanes ketika orang Yahudi dari Yerusalem mengutus beberapa imam dan orang-orang Lewi kepadanya untuk menanyakan dia: “Siapakah engkau?” Ia mengaku dan tidak berdusta, katanya: “Aku bukan Mesias.” Lalu mereka bertanya kepadanya: “Kalau begitu, siapakah engkau? Elia?” Dan ia menjawab: “Bukan!” “Engkaukah nabi yang akan datang?” Dan ia menjawab: “Bukan!” Maka kata mereka kepadanya: “Siapakah engkau? Sebab kami harus memberi jawab kepada mereka yang mengutus kami. Apakah katamu tentang dirimu sendiri?” Jawabnya: “Akulah suara orang yang berseru-seru di padang gurun: Luruskanlah jalan Tuhan! seperti yang telah dikatakan nabi Yesaya.” Dan di antara orang-orang yang diutus itu ada beberapa orang Farisi. Mereka bertanya kepadanya, katanya: “Mengapakah engkau membaptis, jikalau engkau bukan Mesias, bukan Elia, dan bukan nabi yang akan datang?” Yohanes menjawab mereka, katanya: “Aku membaptis dengan air; tetapi di tengah-tengah kamu berdiri Dia yang tidak kamu kenal, yaitu Dia, yang datang kemudian dari padaku. Membuka tali kasut-Nyapun aku tidak layak.” Hal itu terjadi di Betania yang di seberang sungai Yordan, di mana Yohanes membaptis.
For the 3rd Sunday of Advent, priests and ministers may wear pink vestments.
