LITURGY OF THE WORD
ENTRANCE ANTIPHON
Rejoice in the Lord always; again
I say, rejoice! The Lord is near.
FIRST READING
Isaiah 61:1-2a.10-11
The spirit of the Lord has been given
to me, for the Lord has anointed me.
He has sent me to bring good
news to the poor, to bind up hearts
that are broken; to proclaim liberty to
captives, freedom to those in prison;
to proclaim a year of favour from the
Lord.
“I exult for joy in the Lord, my soul
rejoices in my God, for he has
clothed me in the garments of
salvation, he has wrapped me in the
cloak of integrity, like a bridegroom
wearing his wreath, like a bride
adorned in her jewels.
"For as the earth makes fresh things
grow, as a garden makes seeds
spring up, so will the Lord make both
integrity and praise spring up in the
sight of the nations."
The Word of the Lord.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
R. My soul rejoices in my God.

1. My soul glorifies the Lord, my spirit
rejoices in God, my Saviour. He
looks on His servant in her
nothingness; henceforth all ages
will call me blessed. R.
2. The Almighty works marvels for
me. Holy His name! His mercy is
from age to age, on those who
fear Him. R.
3. He fills the starving with good
things, sends the rich away empty.
He protects Israel, His servant,
remembering His mercy. R.
SECOND READING
1 Thessalonians 5:16-24
Be happy at all times; pray
constantly; and for all things give
thanks to God, because this is what
God expects you to do in Christ
Jesus. Never try to suppress the
Spirit or treat the gift of prophecy
with contempt; think before you do
anything - hold on to what is good
and avoid every form of evil. May the
God of peace make you perfect and
holy; and may you all be kept safe
and blameless, spirit, soul and body,
for the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ. God has called you and He
will not fail you.
The Word of the Lord.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
Alleluia, alleluia!
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; He
sent me to bring Good News to the
poor.
Alleluia!
GOSPEL
John 1:6-8,19-28
A man came, sent by God. his name
was John. He came as a witness, as
a witness to speak for the light, so
that everyone might believe through
him. He was not the light, only a
witness to speak for the light.
This is how John appeared as a
witness. When the Jews sent priests
and Levites from Jerusalem to ask
him, "Who are you?" he not only
declared, but he declared quite
openly, "I am not the Christ." "Well
then," they asked, "are you Elijah?"
"I am not," he said. "Are you the
Prophet?" He answered, "No." So
they said to him, "Who are you? We
must take back an answer to those
who sent us. What have you to say
about yourself?" So John said,
"I am, as Isaiah prophesied: a voice
that cries in the wilderness: Make a
straight way for the Lord."
Now these men had been sent by the
Pharisees, and they put this further
question to him, "Why are you
baptising if you are not the Christ,
and not Elijah, and not the prophet?"

John replied, "I baptise with water;
but there stands among you ...
unknown to you ... the One who
is coming after me; and I am not fit
to undo his sandal-strap." This
happened at Bethany, on the far
side of the Jordan, where John was
baptising.
The Gospel of the Lord.
SUNDAY REFLECTION
Traditionally, the third Sunday of
Advent is called Gaudete Sunday,
the Sunday of Joy. The joy of this
Sunday comes both from the
message of the readings and from
the anticipation that Christmas is
nearing. As described in the Isaian
passage, the Messiah is the
one imbued with the spirit and
with the power of the prophet, the
one who will fulfill the promises
of God. It becomes obvious in
the Gospel that the Messiah is
the one proclaimed by the Baptist.
John cleared a path for the coming
of the anointed one, and from that
time on the lives of believers have
been the pathway through which
the Messiah has entered the
world.
Reflection by Dianne Bergant CSS
There stands among you,
unknown to you, the one
who is coming after me.
PARISH NOTICES
MASS INTENTIONS
THIS WEEKEND
PARISH & DIOCESAN NOTICES
1. PARISH CAR PARK - Due to playground construction work at
Sacred Heart Primary School, it is necessary to “claim” approximately 10
car bays in the general car park for an industrial bin, rocks and sand.
To compensate for less car bays, parishioners are invited to park on
the school oval if necessary. The work should be taking place through
December and January. We apologise for any inconvenience but you may
understand that the safety of the children is paramount and work could not
take place during the school term.
