THE LOOK OF LOVE
What does love look like?
It has feet to go to the poor and needy.
It has eyes to see misery and want.
It has ears to hear the sighs and sorrows
of others.

THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT
DECEMBER 11, 2016
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The barren deserts will rejoice and
flower. Tired bodies will receive strength. Aching hearts
will be made glad (Isaiah 35:1-6a, 10).
Psalm — Lord, come and save us (Psalm 146).
Second Reading — Be patient, for the coming of the
Lord is as sure as the rain (James 5:7-10).
Gospel — Tell of what you hear and see: The blind
regain their vision, the crippled their movement, the
deaf their hearing (Matthew 11:2-11).

READINGS FOR THE WEEK
A SEASON OF HOPE
Today we can bask in the imagery that the Mass
readings offer us. In particular, Isaiah’s vision of a
parched land that blooms with abundant flowers holds
a message for each of us. Too often we are just like
that parched land. We can allow ourselves to become
absorbed in the waves of consumerism that grip so
many. We look for fulfillment in the things that money
can buy. Unfortunately, this leaves us like parched land,
thirsting for something that money can’t buy. This holy
season has much to offer to quench our thirsts. In a
word, this season offers hope. We are told that those
who are ransomed by God will know joy and gladness.
For them, sorrow and mourning will be no more. Let us
place our hope in these promises. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Today is Gaudete Sunday, which means “rejoice.” For
three weeks now we have been preparing for Christmas
and, one hopes, enjoying some peace to pray and
anticipate the coming of the Lord, not just as a baby
two thousand years ago, but also in the end-times, the
parousia, when the Lord will come again in glory.
This is the Sunday when the rejoicing begins. Advent,
unlike Lent, is not a penitential time, but a time of
waiting and anticipation for the fulfillment of God’s
promises. “[We] will see the glory of the Lord, / the
splendor of our God” (Isaiah 35:2). So, “Be patient,
brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord . . .
Make your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord is
at hand” (James 5:7, 8).

THE ONE WHO IS TO COME
John the Baptist, wanting to confirm that Jesus is the
Christ, sends his disciples to inquire about him. Jesus
responds, echoing the words of the prophet Isaiah,
“Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind
regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed,
the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have
the good news proclaimed to them” (Matthew 11:4–5).
By this reply, Jesus knows that John will recognize that
he is the Messiah, the one who is to come, and rejoice.

MORE THAN A PROPHET
Jesus then turns to the crowds, and teaches them, and
us, about John the Baptist. John must have been quite
a sight, and quite a forceful preacher. He drew great
crowds, including Pharisees and Sadducees, who came
LITURGICAL
out to see and hear him, and many were baptized. John
has spent years baptizing with a baptism of repentance
in preparation for the One who is to come. Jesus in turn
pays tribute to his kinsman, and at the same time reveals
his own mission as the Anointed, the One who will come
to bring salvation to all who believe. He praises John,
and reveals that John is the prophet who has come to
proclaim the coming of the Reign of God in Christ. Jesus
says, “This is the one about whom it is written, / Behold,
I am sending my messenger ahead of you; / he will
prepare your way before you” (Matthew 11:10).
So, as James tells us in the second reading, we must
not complain about one another so that we will not be
judged in those final days. We can rejoice in the coming
of the Reign of God. We must be patient.
We celebrate Christmas not only as the secular holiday
with Santa and the reindeer, the Christmas tree, the
gifts, the parties, and all the glitz, but as the Incarnation
and the joyful coming of the Lord our God. Copyright © J. S.
Paluch Co., Inc.
AQUEL QUE HA DE VENIR
Juan el Bautista, queriendo confirma que Jesús es el
Cristo, envía a sus discípulos a preguntar acerca de
él. Jesús responde, haciendo eco de las palabras del
profeta Isaías, “Vayan y digan lo que han visto y oído:
los ciegos recuperan la vista, los cojos andan, los
leprosos quedan limpios, los sordos vuelven a escuchar,
los muertos reviven, y a los pobres se les anuncia la
Buena Nueva” (Mateo 11:4–5). Con esta respuesta, Jesús
sabe que Juan reconocerá que él es el Mesías, aquél
que ha de venir. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
MÁS QUE UN PROFETA
Jesús se vuelve hacia las multitudes y hacia nosotros
para enseñarnos acerca de Juan el Bautista. Juan debió
hacer sido un persona con una fuerte presencia y un
extraordinario predicador. Él atraía grandes multitudes,
incluyendo a los fariseos y los saduceos, que venían
a verlo, escucharlo e incluso a bautizarse. Juan tenía
dedicándose varios años a bautizar con un bautismo
de arrepentimiento en preparación para aquél que ha
de venir. Jesús honra a su pariente, y a la misma vez
revela su propia misión como el Ungido, como Aquél
que vendrá a traer la salvación a toda persona que crea.
Él enaltece a Juan y reconoce que Juan es el profeta
que tiene que venir a proclamar la venida del Reino de
Dios en Cristo. Jesús dice “De él es quien está escrito. /
Yo envío a mi mensajero delante de ti; / él preparará el
