THEME: GOD DOES NOT FORGET HIS PEOPLE

Through the prophet Baruch God’s people are asked to take off the garment of sorrow and affliction and put on forever the beauty of God’s glory. God has remembered his people. God does not forget his people. Even if every other person forgets us, God will always remember us. It’s something very lovely and comforting to be remembered. Since we all like to be remembered, we too have a duty to remember others especially those who have been good to us, our family members wherever they are, and other people who have no one to remember them. Let us no forget to reach out to one another as we prepare to celebrate the birthday of the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ at Christmas.

1^st reading: Baruch 5:1-9. God will bring his people back from exile. Israel is asked to make level ground.

Responsorial Psalm: The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

2^nd reading: Philippians 1:3-6,8-11. Paul always remembers his Philippian brothers and sisters in prayer.

Gospel: Luke 3:1-6. We are called to prepare the way of the Lord and make straight his path.
