Readings of the next Third Sunday of

Advent (A)

Next Sunday, December 11, 2022

First Reading

First Reading: Is 35:1-6, 10

Let the wilderness and the arid land

rejoice,
the desert be glad and blossom.
Covered with flowers, it sings and
shouts with joy,
adorned with the splendor of
Lebanon,
the magnificence of Carmel and
Sharon.
They, my people, see the glory of
Yahweh,
the majesty of our God.

Give vigor to weary hands

and strength to enfeebled knees.
Say to those who are afraid:
"Have courage, do not fear.
See, your God comes, demanding
justice.
He is the God who rewards,
the God who comes to save you."
Then will the eyes of the blind be
opened
and the ears of the deaf unsealed.

Then will the lame leap as a hart

and the tongue of the dumb sing and
shout.
For water will break out in the
wilderness
and streams gush forth from the
desert.

For the ransomed of Yahweh will

return:
with everlasting joy upon their
heads,
they will come to Zion singing,
gladness and joy marching with
them,
while sorrow and sighing flee away.

R. (cf. Is 35:4) Lord, come and
save us.

The fatherless and the widow he

sustains,
but the way of the wicked he
thwarts.
The LORD shall reign forever;
your God, O Zion, through all
generations.
R. (cf. Is 35:4) Lord, come and
save us.
or: R. Alleluia.

Second Reading

Second Reading: Jas 5:7-10

Be patient then, beloved, until the

coming of the Lord. See how the
sower waits for the precious fruits
of the earth, looking forward
patiently to the autumn and spring
rains. You also be patient and do not
lose heart, because the Lord's
coming is near.
Beloved, do not fight among
yourselves and you will not be
judged. See, the judge is already at
the door. Take for yourselves, as an
example of patience, the suffering
of the prophets who spoke in the
Lord's name.

Holy Gospel

Gospel Reading: Mt 11:2-11

When John the Baptist heard in

prison about the activities of Christ,
he sent a message by his disciples,
asking him: "Are you the one who is
to come or should we expect
someone else?"

Jesus answered them, "Go back and

report to John what you hear and
see: the blind see, the lame walk,
the lepers are made clean, the deaf
hear, the dead are brought back to
life and good news is reaching the
poor. And how fortunate is the one
who does not take offense at me."

As the messengers left, Jesus began

to speak to the crowds about John,
"When you went out to the desert,
what did you expect to see? A reed
swept by the wind? What did you
go out to see? A man dressed in fine
clothes? People who wear fine
clothes live in palaces. What did
you actually go out to see? A
prophet? Yes, indeed, and even
more than a prophet. He is the man
of whom Scripture says: I send my
messenger ahead of you to prepare
the way before you.
"I tell you this: no one greater than
John the Baptist has come forward
among the sons of women, and yet
the least in the kingdom of heaven
is greater than he."
