READINGS:​
​From the second Sunday in Advent.
Collect 
Almighty and merciful God,
may no earthly undertaking hinder those
who set out in haste to meet your Son,
but may our learning of heavenly wisdom
gain us admittance to his company.
Who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

 
 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 125
 When the Lord delivered Zion from bondage,
            it seemed like a dream.
            Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
            on our lips there were songs.
Response: What marvels the Lord worked for us!
            Indeed we were glad.
 The heathens themselves said:
            “What marvels the Lord worked for them!”
            What marvels the Lord worked for us!
            Indeed we were glad.
Response: What marvels the Lord worked for us!
            Indeed we were glad.
 Deliver us, O Lord, from our bondage
            as streams in dry land.
            Those who are sowing in tears
            will sing when they reap.
Response: What marvels the Lord worked for us!
            Indeed we were glad.
 They go out, they go out, full of tears,
            carrying seed for the sowing:
            they come back, they come back, full of song,
            carrying their sheaves.
Response: What marvels the Lord worked for us!
            Indeed we were glad.
 

Gospel:
Luke 3:1-6
 A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
             In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar’s reign, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judaea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of the lands of Ituraea and Trachonitis, Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, during the pontificate of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah, in the wilderness. He went through the whole Jordan district proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the book of the sayings of the prophet Isaiah: A voice cries in the wilderness: Prepare a way for the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley will be filled in, every mountain and hill be laid low, winding ways will be straightened and rough roads made smooth. And all mankind shall see the salvation of God.

 The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
