I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

Scriptures and Prayer for the Third Sunday in Advent

Old Testament: Isaiah 35:1-10

Epistle: James 5:7-10

Gospel: Matthew 11:2-11
___
God of hope, you call us home from the exile of selfish oppression  to the freedom of justice,  the balm of healing, and the joy of sharing. Make us strong to join you in your holy work, as friends of strangers and victims, companions of those whom others shun, and as the happiness of those whose hearts are broken. We make our prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
