Catholic Mass Reading Of The Day! Tuesday 23rd December 2014 ~ 4th Week Of Advent St John of Kanty, priest (O) Mal 3:1-4,23-24 (The refiner’s fire) Psalms 24-4-5.8-9.10,14 (The Lord’s friendship) Luke 1:57-66 HIS NAME IS JOHN God, through Malachi, promises that prophet Elijah would be sent to clear the way for the Messiah. We know from Jesus that it is John the Baptist. Through it was not proper to give the child a name that was not customary in the family, he is called with a new name ‘John,’ in order to signal a new beginning, the arrival of a new era, and a time of the new covenant with humankind. We, Christians are the people of the new covenant and, hence, must heed John, change our hearts and prepare ourselves for the day of the Lord’s coming. ~ Reflection of Holy Gospel according to Luke 1:57-66 youtu.be/YjUKQEC_JFA?list=PLbIwWtTe1RjsA_hnVsB0-x4mykwc6K8dC
