Third Sunday of Advent 12/15/19

advent 3 In this Sunday’s first reading Is 35:1-6a, 10, Isaiah uses the desert as a metaphor to describe the sense of alienation and despair that are the effects of human sinfulness. Isaiah announces an exodus and the end of the Babylonian custody, presenting a vision of deliverance from the desert, to freedom, and salvation. We also see Isaiah’s prophesy more than 700 years before the fact, the coming of Jesus Christ - in words full of expectation, hope, salvation, and joy.

In today's Gospel, Mt 11:2-11, John the Baptist, now in prison, sends word to Jesus with a question. He wants to know if Jesus is the true messiah. John, like many of his contemporaries, had high expectations of the Savior to come. In response, Jesus sends a list of the work he has been doing, the signs of healing, blind regaining their sight, the lame walking, lepers cleansed… and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. Hopefully, this account gave John some comfort before Herod executed him.
