Vengeance is (00:22:07) coming. the retribution of God. He is (00:22:11) coming to save you. (00:22:13) Then the eyes of the blind shall be (00:22:15) opened, the ears of the deaf unsealed. (00:22:18) Then the lame shall leap like a deer, (00:22:20) and the tongues of the dumb sing for (00:22:22) joy. For those the Lord has ransomed (00:22:24) shall return. (00:22:26) They will come to Zion shouting for joy. (00:22:29) Everlasting joy on their faces. Joy and (00:22:33) gladness will go with them, and sorrow (00:22:35) and lament will be ended.

(00:22:58) The Lord who sets prisoners free. (00:23:01) >> Lord, come and save us. (00:23:04) It is the Lord who gives sight to the (00:23:05) blind, who raises up those who bowed (00:23:07) down.

(00:23:34) Be patient, brothers, until the Lord's (00:23:36) coming. (00:23:38) Think of a farmer, how patiently he (00:23:40) waits for the precious fruit of the (00:23:42) ground, until it has the autumn rains (00:23:44) and the spring rains. (00:23:47) You too have to be patient. Do not lose (00:23:50) heart because the Lord's coming will be (00:23:52) soon. Do not make complaints against one (00:23:55) another, brothers, so as not to be (00:23:58) brought to judgment yourselves. The (00:24:00) judge is already to be seen. waiting at (00:24:03) the gate. For your example, brothers, in (00:24:06) submitting with patience, take the (00:24:08) prophets who spoke in the name of the (00:24:10) Lord. (00:24:14) >> The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

(00:25:41) >> And with your spirit. A (00:25:43) >> reading from the Holy Gospel according (00:25:45) to Matthew. (00:25:46) >> Glory to you, Lord. (00:25:51) John in his prison (00:25:54) had heard what Christ was doing and he (00:25:58) sent his disciples to ask him, "Are you (00:26:01) the one who is to come or have we go to (00:26:06) wait for someone else?" (00:26:08) Jesus answered, (00:26:10) "Go back and tell John what you hear and (00:26:14) see. (00:26:16) The blind see again (00:26:19) and the lame walk. Lepers are cleansed (00:26:23) and the deaf hear. (00:26:25) And the dead are raised to life. And the (00:26:28) good news is proclaimed to the poor. (00:26:31) And happy is the man who does not lose (00:26:34) faith in me. (00:26:38) As the messengers were leaving, Jesus (00:26:41) began to talk to the people about John. (00:26:45) What did you go out into the wilderness (00:26:48) to see? (00:26:50) A reed swaying in the breeze? No. Then (00:26:55) what did you go out to see? (00:26:58) A man wearing fine clothes? (00:27:02) Oh no. Those who wear fine clothes are (00:27:05) to be found in palaces. (00:27:09) Then what did you go out for? (00:27:12) to see a prophet. (00:27:15) Yes, I tell you. And much more than a (00:27:18) prophet, he is the one of whom scripture (00:27:21) says, "Look, I'm I'm going to send my (00:27:27) messenger before you. He will prepare (00:27:30) your way for you. (00:27:33) Way before you. I tell you solemnly, of (00:27:36) all the children born of women, a (00:27:39) greater than John the Baptist has never (00:27:42) been seen. (00:27:44) Yet the least in the kingdom of heaven (00:27:47) is greater than he is. (00:27:56) The gospel of the Lord. (00:27:58) >> Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. (00:28:22) My dear brothers and sisters in Jesus (00:28:24) Christ, (00:28:26) today the church invites us to rejoice. (00:28:31) That [clears throat] is why the Sunday (00:28:32) is called Ga Sunday which means rejoice. (00:28:40) We lit the rose candle to remind us that (00:28:43) Christmas is near and that hope is (00:28:47) already among us. (00:28:50) But the joy we hear about today is not (00:28:54) loud or perfect one (00:28:58) but it is quiet joy born in waiting (00:29:03) patience and trust. (00:29:07) The first reading the prophet Isaiah (00:29:11) speaks to people who are tired, afraid (00:29:15) and discouraged. He says, (00:29:18) "The desert will bloom, (00:29:21) the weak will be strengthened, the blind (00:29:25) will see, the deaf will hear, (00:29:28) the dead will live again, the lame will (00:29:32) leap, and dumb will speak the praises of (00:29:36) the Lord." (00:29:40) My dear friends, going through this (00:29:41) reading, (00:29:43) one of the most one of the beautiful (00:29:45) songs of Christmas came into my mind (00:29:48) which I'm very sure many of you are (00:29:51) familiar with. It goes like this. Mary, (00:29:55) Mary, did you know? I think you uh many (00:29:59) of you are familiar with this song. It's (00:30:02) a wonderful song which speaks the same (00:30:04) thing what prophet Isaiah says in the (00:30:08) first reading. (00:30:10) The desert will bloom, the weak will be (00:30:12) strengthened, the blind will see, the (00:30:15) deaf will hear, the dead will live (00:30:18) again, the lame will leap, and dumb will (00:30:21) speak. The praises of the Lord, Mary, (00:30:24) did you know (00:30:27) this is God's promise? (00:30:30) Things will not stay broken forever. (00:30:34) Even dry places can bloom again and (00:30:36) wounded hearts can be healed. (00:30:40) Many of us come to church today carrying (00:30:44) worries, family problems, sickness, (00:30:49) loneliness, uncertaintity about the (00:30:52) future. (00:30:54) God speaks directly to us and says, "Do (00:30:58) not be afraid. (00:31:00) I'm coming to save you." (00:31:04) The gospel, we meet John the Baptist in (00:31:08) prison. (00:31:10) The strong prophet who once boldly (00:31:14) announced the coming of the Messiah (00:31:18) has now doubts. (00:31:22) He sends his disciples to Jesus asking, (00:31:26) "Are you the one who is to come or (00:31:29) should we wait for another?" (00:31:33) This is very human. (00:31:36) Even strong believers can feel confused (00:31:38) and discouraged sometimes. (00:31:41) Even faithful people can ask questions. (00:31:48) Jesus does not get angry with Joan. (00:31:52) He instead points to his works. (00:31:56) The blind see, the lame walk, the poor (00:32:00) hear good news. (00:32:03) In other words, Jesus says, (00:32:07) look at what is what God is doing. (00:32:11) Look at the signs of love, healing, and (00:32:14) mercy. (00:32:17) Sometimes we expect God to act in (00:32:21) dramatic ways. But Jesus shows us that (00:32:25) God often works quietly, silently (00:32:29) through compassion, through kindness and (00:32:32) faithfulness. (00:32:38) The second reading, St. James reminds (00:32:41) us, (00:32:42) "Be patient, strengthen your hearts, for (00:32:46) the coming of the Lord is near." (00:32:50) Advent teaches us (00:32:53) how to wait, (00:32:55) not with anger, (00:32:58) nor with despite, (00:33:00) but with trust and perseverance. (00:33:04) Waiting does not mean doing nothing. (00:33:09) It means continuing to love, to pray, to (00:33:14) forgive, and to hope even when answers (00:33:19) seem slow. (00:33:22) My dear brothers and sisters, (00:33:26) Christian joy does not mean everything (00:33:29) easy, (00:33:30) but it means we believe that God is (00:33:34) still at work even in difficulty. (00:33:39) Today let us the Lord ask us do we (00:33:43) recognize his presence in small (00:33:45) blessings that we have? (00:33:48) Do we trust him even when we are unsure? (00:33:53) Can we rejoice not because life is (00:33:56) perfect but because God is faithful? (00:34:02) As we move closer to Christmas, let us (00:34:05) open our hearts again, let us rejoice, (00:34:09) not because all problems are solved, but (00:34:13) because the Savior is near. (00:34:17) May the joy of the Lord strengthen us, (00:34:21) heal our doubts, and fill us with hope. (00:34:25) Rejoice, the Lord is coming. (00:34:29) May God bless you all. (00:36:19) Shall we stand? (00:36:29) I believe in one God, Father Almighty, (00:36:33) maker of heaven and earth of Jesus (00:36:36) Christ, (00:36:38) >> who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, (00:36:42) Mary (00:36:44) Pontious, (00:36:45) >> was crucified, died, (00:36:48) >> descended into hell. On the third day, (00:36:51) rose again from the dead. ascended into (00:36:54) heaven (00:36:55) >> and is seated at the right hand of the (00:36:56) father. (00:36:59) >> From there he will come to judge the (00:37:01) living and the dead. (00:37:02) >> I believe in the holy spirit the holy (00:37:05) catholic church the communion of saints (00:37:08) the forgiveness of sur (00:37:12) life everlasting. (00:37:14) >> Amen. (00:37:16) As we await with longing the coming of (00:37:19) our Lord Jesus Christ, dear brothers and (00:37:22) sisters, let us with renewed devotion (00:37:25) beseech his mercy that as he came into (00:37:28) the world to bring the good news to the (00:37:30) poor and heal the contrite of heart, so (00:37:33) in our own time also he may bring (00:37:37) salvation to all in need. (00:37:44) We we pray may pe pope Leo living the (00:37:49) joy of hope lead all Christians to the (00:37:51) wonder of Christmas. (00:37:53) >> Lord hear us. (00:37:55) >> Lord hear us.
