Dec 23 Scripture
Readings: bible.usccb.org/bible/readin...
Malachi addresses the cynicism of the people and points to "a messenger" who will bring about urgent reform (Mal 3:1-4, 23-24). This messenger in the gospel reading (Lk 1:57-66) 1s John the Baptist.

Reading: bible.usccb.org/bible/readin...
We have yet another story of a miraculous birth - Samuel (1 Sam 2:24-28). His mother Hanna's song of praise (1 Sam 2:1-10) connects us to the gospel as Mary sings her Magnificat (Lk 1:46-56). "My soul magnifies the Lord!"

Dec 21 Scripture
Readings: bible.usccb.org/bible/readin...
Isaiah's prophecy to Ahaz and his response (Is 7:10-14) is contrasted with the annunciation to Joseph and his response (Mt 1:18-24). They stood at a crossroad. To respond like Joseph is to further the plan of God.

Isaiah's prophecy to Ahaz (Is 7:10-4) and his response is contrasted with angel Gabriel's annunciation to Mary and her response (Lk 1:26-38). We can be both Ahaz and Mary depending on our responses to God's call each day.

Dec 15 Scripture
Readings: bible.usccb.org/bible/readin...
Today's scripture points to the appropriate response to God's word. King Josiah, the remnants, and surprisingly the tax-collectors and prostitutes in the gospel reading teach us how to respond to the Word of God.

Readings: bible.usccb.org/bible/readin...
Balaam's prophecy in Num 24:2-7, 15-17 is read by Jewish and Christian interpreters as referring to the Messiah. But the gospel presents an irony. Religious leaders misunderstood the Messiah. This can happen to us too.

I often say, only a mother can love like a mother does. Mary's apparition to the native people was as a native woman, and came at a time of great oppression. It gave them dignity and hope.

Isaiah offered both judgment and hope to a nation in turmoil. In the gospel Jesus is presented as the hope of the people, especially as they felt they were like sheep without a shepherd. But Jesus also sends us.
