The messenger of the covenant whom you desire, behold, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. Who will be able to endure the day of his coming? Who will be able to stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire, like launderers’ soap. He will set himself to refine and purify: he will purify the sons of Levi, he will refine them like gold and silver; so that they will be able to offer the offering in all justice in the eyes of the Lord. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be accepted by the Lord, as in the days of old, in the years of old. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I do not come and destroy the land. – Word of the Lord. Psalm (Ps 24 (25), 4-5ab, 8-9, 10.14) R/ Stand up straight and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near. (Lk 21, 28) Teach me your ways, O Lord; make me know your path. Guide me in your truth; teach me, for you are the God who saves me. The Lord is upright and good, he who shows sinners the way. His justice guides the humble; he teaches the humble his way. The ways of the Lord are love and truth for those who keep his covenant and his laws. The secret of the Lord is for those who fear him; to them he makes his covenant known. Gospel Birth of John the Baptist (Lk 1, 57-66) Alleluia, Alleluia. Come, Hope of the nations, Savior of all peoples! Come and save what was lost. Alleluia. Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke When the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had shown her the greatness of his mercy, and they rejoiced with her. On the eighth day, they came for the circumcision of the child. They wanted to call him Zacharias, after his father. But his mother said, "No, he will be called John." They said to her, "No one in your family has that name!" » They asked the father by signs what he wanted to call him. He had a tablet given to him and wrote on it, “His name is John.” And everyone was amazed. Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke and blessed God. Then fear came upon all the people around him, and all these things were being told throughout the whole hill country of Judea. Everyone who heard about them kept them in their hearts, saying, “What will this child be?” For the hand of the Lord was with him. – Let us acclaim the word of God.
