Readings for Sunday.

First Reading for daily Gospel: Reading from the book of Isaiah 30:19-21,23-26: "The glory of the Lord will be revealed to all humanity.".

"Console my people, console them" says your God. "Speak to the heart of Jerusalem and call to her that her time of service is ended, that her sin is atoned for, that she has received from the hand of the Lord double punishment for all her crimes." A voice cries, "Prepare in the wilderness a way for the Lord. Make a straight highway for our God across the desert. Let every valley be filled in, every mountain and hill be laid low. Let every cliff become a plain, and the ridges a valley; then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all mankind shall see it; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken." Go up on a high mountain, joyful messenger to Zion. Shout with a loud voice, joyful messenger to Jerusalem. Shout without fear, say to the towns of Judah, "Here is your God." Here is the Lord coming with power, his arm subduing all things to him. The prize of his victory is with him, his trophies all go before him. He is like a shepherd feeding his flock, gathering lambs in his arms, holding them against his breast and leading to their rest the mother ewes.

Daily Psalm for Sunday.

Daily reading from Psalm 84(85):9-14: "Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help." (R).

  • I will hear what the Lord God has to say, a voice that speaks of peace, peace for his people. His help is near for those who fear him and his glory will dwell in our land. (R).
  • Mercy and faithfulness have met; justice and peace have embraced. Faithfulness shall spring from the earth and justice look down from heaven. (R).
  • The Lord will make us prosper and our earth shall yield its fruit. Justice shall march before him and peace shall follow his steps. (R).

Second Reading for Sunday.

Second Reading for Sunday, taken from the Second Book of Peter 3:8-14: "Expecting a New Heaven and a New Earth".

There is one thing, my friends, that you must never forget: that with the Lord, "a day" can mean a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord is not being slow to carry out his promises, as anybody else might be called slow; but he is being patient with you all, wanting nobody to be lost and everybody to be brought to change his ways. The Day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then with a roar the sky will vanish, the elements will catch fire and fall apart, the earth and all that it contains will be burnt up. Since everything is coming to an end like this, you should be living holy and saintly lives while you wait and long for the Day of God to come, when the sky will dissolve in flames and the elements melt in the heat. What we are waiting for is what he promised: the new heavens and new earth, the place where righteousness will be at home. So then, my friends, while you are waiting, do your best to live lives without spot or stain so that he will find you at peace.

Daily Gospel for December 6. Mark 1:1-8.

Daily readings Sunday, Gospel for December 6 (We must prepare the way of the Lord): The beginning of the Good News about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah: Look, I am going to send my messenger before you; he will prepare your way. A voice cries in the wilderness: Prepare a way for the Lord, make his paths straight. And so, it was that John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. All Judaea and all the people of Jerusalem made their way to him, and as they were baptised by him in the river Jordan they confessed their sins. John wore a garment of camel-skin, and he lived on locusts and wild honey. In the course of his preaching he said, ‘Someone is following me, someone who is more powerful than I am, and I am not fit to kneel down and undo the strap of his sandals. I have baptised you with water, but he will baptise you with the Holy Spirit.". (The catholic daily readings and the Holy Gospel, on this page, are from the Jerusalem Bible)

Daily Readings reflection, by Pope Francis.

"Pope Francis: Have a heart overflowing with love, peace, and joy as you wait for the Lord"

From  daily Reading we can understand that the heart of man desires joy. We all desire joy, every family, every people aspire to happiness. But what is the joy that the Christian is called to live, is called to witness? It is that which comes from the nearness of God, from his presence in our lives.

From the moment Jesus entered history, with his birth in Bethlehem, humanity received the seed of the Kingdom of God, like the soil that receives the seed, the promise of the future harvest. It is no longer necessary to look elsewhere.

Jesus came to bring joy to all and forever. It is not a joy only expected or postponed to Paradise: here on earth we are sad, but in Paradise we will be happy. No, no. This is not it. It is a joy that is already real and can be experienced now because Jesus himself is our joy, and our home with Jesus is joyful, as that sign of yours said: "With Jesus, joy is at home.

And without Jesus, is there joy? No. Bravo. He is alive, and he is the Risen One, and he works in us and among us, especially with the Word and the Sacraments. All of us baptised, children of the Church, are called to always welcome God´s presence in our midst again and to help others discover it, or rediscover it if they have forgotten it.

This is a beautiful mission, similar to that of St. John the Baptist: to direct people to Christ, not to ourselves because He is the goal towards which the human heart tends when it seeks joy and happiness.

(...) We have never heard of a sad saint or a saint with a funeral face. It has never been heard of. It would be a contradiction in terms. The Christian is a person whose heart is overflowing with peace because he knows how to put his joy in the Lord even when he goes through the difficult moments of life.

Having faith does not mean "not having difficult moments", but having the strength to face them knowing that we are not alone. And this is the peace that God gives to his children.

With her gaze turned to the approaching Christmas, the Church invites us to bear witness that Jesus is not a character from the past; he is the Word of God who continues to illuminate man´s path today; his gestures, the Sacraments, are the manifestation of the Father´s tenderness, consolation, and love for every human being. (Daily Readings reflection, Angelus, December 16, 2014).

Daily Prayer Sunday, for Gospel.

Lord, thank you for the blessing of having life. Come and fill my heart and give me a faith that leads me to put all my trust in You. I come to your call to be filled with your peace that surpasses all. Put an end to the fear that keeps me from moving forward. Heal my heart and give me strength to follow you. You are my shield and I am sure that your Love and your Grace will not depart from me. Amen. (Healing with the serenity prayer for daily readings and Holy Gospel)

The Pope´s daily quotation.

"Just as those who loved us before we were born were waiting for us, now Love itself is waiting for us. And if we are expected in Heaven, why live with earthly pretensions? Why waste time complaining about the night while the light of day awaits us?". Pope Francis.

Purpose for daily Gospel.

Invite to the Holy Mass a family member, friend or acquaintance who has lost a little faith and invite them to the sacrament of reconciliation.
