Advent Weekday

First Reading

Isaiah 45:6-8, 18, 21-25

6that men may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.

7I form light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe, I am the LORD, who do all these things.

8“Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation may sprout forth, and let it cause righteousness to spring up also; I the LORD have created it.

18For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it a chaos, he formed it to be inhabited!): “I am the LORD, and there is no other.

21Declare and present your case; let them take counsel together! Who told this long ago? Who declared it of old? Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none besides me.

22“Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

23By myself I have sworn, from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness a word that shall not return: ‘To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.’

24“Only in the LORD, it shall be said of me, are righteousness and strength; to him shall come and be ashamed, all who were incensed against him.

25In the LORD all the offspring of Israel shall triumph and glory.”

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 85:9-14

8Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints, to those who turn to him in their hearts.

9Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

10Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.

11Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.

12Yea, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

13Righteousness will go before him, and make his footsteps a way.

Gospel

Luke 7:18-23

18The disciples of John told him of all these things.

19And John, calling to him two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you he who is to come, or shall we look for another?”

20And when the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who is to come, or shall we look for another?’ ”

21In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.

22And he answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them.

23And blessed is he who takes no offense at me.”
