DAILY GOSPEL
FRIDAY OF THE SECOND WEEK OF ADVENT
DECEMBER 09, 2022
Take a moment of silence and recall the presence of God
within you.
Let everything go from your day - your worries, tasks,
timelines –
just let your spirit rest in God’s.
Be aware of the great love God has for you.
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
God of power and mercy open our hearts in welcome.
Remove the things that hinder us from receiving Christ with
joy so that we may share his wisdom and become one with
him when he comes in glory, for he lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
A READING FROM THE HOLY
GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
MATTHEW
Jesus said to the crowds: “To what shall I compare this
generation? It is like children who sit in marketplaces and
call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did
not dance, we sang a dirge, but you did not mourn.’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, ‘He
is possessed by a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and
drinking and they said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard,
a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is
vindicated by her works.”
Matthew 11:28-30
THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD.
PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Dancing and Mourning
What does Jesus mean when He says “We played the flute for you…” and “we
sang a dirge…?” The Church Fathers clearly identify this “flute” and “dirge”
as the word of God that has been preached by the prophets of old. So many
came before Jesus to prepare the way, but so many failed to listen. John the
Baptist was the final and greatest prophet, and he called people to
repentance, but few listened. Thus, Jesus points out this sad truth.
https://mycatholic.life/
In our day and age, we have so much more than the prophets of the Old Testament.
We have the incredible witness of the saints, the infallible teaching of the Church,
the gift of the Sacraments and the life and teaching of the Son of God Himself as
recorded in the New Testament. Yet, sadly, so many refuse to listen. So many fail to
“dance” and “mourn” in response to the Gospel.
We must “dance” in the sense that the gift of Christ Jesus, by His life, death and
resurrection should be the cause of our wholehearted rejoicing and eternal
adoration. Those who truly know and love the Son of God are filled with joy!
Furthermore, we must “mourn” on account of the countless sins in our own lives
and in the lives of those all around us. Sin is real and prevalent, and a holy sorrow is
the only appropriate response. Salvation is real. Hell is real. And both of these
truths demand a total response from us.
https://mycatholic.life/
In your own life, how fully have you allowed the Gospel to affect you? How
attentive are you to the voice of God as it has been spoken through the lives
of the saints and through our Church? Are you tuned in to the voice of God as
He speaks to you in the depths of your conscience in prayer? Are you
listening? Responding? Following? And giving your whole life in the service
of Christ and His mission?
https://mycatholic.life/
Reflect, today, upon the clear, unmistakable, transforming and life-giving
words and presence of the Savior of the world. Reflect upon how attentive
you have been in life to all that He has clearly spoken and to His very
presence. If you do not find yourself “dancing” for God’s glory and
“mourning” over the evident sins of your life and within our world, then
recommit yourself to a radical following of Christ. In the end, the Truth that
God has spoken throughout the ages and His holy and divine presence are all
that matter.
https://mycatholic.life/
Intercessions
To Christ our Redeemer, who comes to save us from
our sins, let us cry out with joy:
Come, Lord Jesus!
The prophets of old foretold your birth among us,
– now make virtue come to life in us.
Come, Lord Jesus!
We proclaim your saving work,
– now grant us your salvation.
You came to heal the contrite,
– heal the weaknesses of your people.
You came and saw fit to reconcile the world,
– when you come again in judgment, free us from the torments
of punishment.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
We ask for the intercession of the Blessed
Virgin Mary as we pray,
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our
death. Amen
Keeping in mind that whatever we do,
we do it for the glory of God, and so we pray,
Glory to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning,
is now and will be for ever.
Amen.
CLOSING
PRAYER
Grant that your people, we pray, almighty God, may be ever
watchful for the coming of your Only Begotten Son, that, as
the author of our salvation himself has taught us, we may
hasten, alert and with lighted lamps, to meet him when he
comes.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit,one God, for ever and ever
Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Lead us to salvation.
https://mycatholic.life/
St. Anthony Mary Claret,
Pray for us.
Blessed Claretian Martyrs,
Intercede for us.
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

  • 2. Take a moment of silence and recall the presence of God within you. Let everything go from your day - your worries, tasks, timelines – just let your spirit rest in God’s. Be aware of the great love God has for you.
  • 3. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
  • 4. God of power and mercy open our hearts in welcome. Remove the things that hinder us from receiving Christ with joy so that we may share his wisdom and become one with him when he comes in glory, for he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
  • 5. A READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW
  • 6. Jesus said to the crowds: “To what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance, we sang a dirge, but you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, ‘He is possessed by a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is vindicated by her works.” Matthew 11:28-30
  • 7. THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD. PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
  • 8. Dancing and Mourning What does Jesus mean when He says “We played the flute for you…” and “we sang a dirge…?” The Church Fathers clearly identify this “flute” and “dirge” as the word of God that has been preached by the prophets of old. So many came before Jesus to prepare the way, but so many failed to listen. John the Baptist was the final and greatest prophet, and he called people to repentance, but few listened. Thus, Jesus points out this sad truth. https://mycatholic.life/
  • 9. In our day and age, we have so much more than the prophets of the Old Testament. We have the incredible witness of the saints, the infallible teaching of the Church, the gift of the Sacraments and the life and teaching of the Son of God Himself as recorded in the New Testament. Yet, sadly, so many refuse to listen. So many fail to “dance” and “mourn” in response to the Gospel. We must “dance” in the sense that the gift of Christ Jesus, by His life, death and resurrection should be the cause of our wholehearted rejoicing and eternal adoration. Those who truly know and love the Son of God are filled with joy! Furthermore, we must “mourn” on account of the countless sins in our own lives and in the lives of those all around us. Sin is real and prevalent, and a holy sorrow is the only appropriate response. Salvation is real. Hell is real. And both of these truths demand a total response from us. https://mycatholic.life/
  • 10. In your own life, how fully have you allowed the Gospel to affect you? How attentive are you to the voice of God as it has been spoken through the lives of the saints and through our Church? Are you tuned in to the voice of God as He speaks to you in the depths of your conscience in prayer? Are you listening? Responding? Following? And giving your whole life in the service of Christ and His mission? https://mycatholic.life/
  • 11. Reflect, today, upon the clear, unmistakable, transforming and life-giving words and presence of the Savior of the world. Reflect upon how attentive you have been in life to all that He has clearly spoken and to His very presence. If you do not find yourself “dancing” for God’s glory and “mourning” over the evident sins of your life and within our world, then recommit yourself to a radical following of Christ. In the end, the Truth that God has spoken throughout the ages and His holy and divine presence are all that matter. https://mycatholic.life/
  • 12. Intercessions To Christ our Redeemer, who comes to save us from our sins, let us cry out with joy: Come, Lord Jesus!
  • 13. The prophets of old foretold your birth among us, – now make virtue come to life in us. Come, Lord Jesus! We proclaim your saving work, – now grant us your salvation. You came to heal the contrite, – heal the weaknesses of your people. You came and saw fit to reconcile the world, – when you come again in judgment, free us from the torments of punishment.
  • 15. We ask for the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary as we pray, Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
  • 16. Keeping in mind that whatever we do, we do it for the glory of God, and so we pray, Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now and will be for ever. Amen.
  • 17. CLOSING PRAYER Grant that your people, we pray, almighty God, may be ever watchful for the coming of your Only Begotten Son, that, as the author of our salvation himself has taught us, we may hasten, alert and with lighted lamps, to meet him when he comes. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,one God, for ever and ever
  • 18. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Lead us to salvation. https://mycatholic.life/
  • 19. St. Anthony Mary Claret, Pray for us.
  • 21. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
