Is 48:17-19; Mt 11:16-19

Homily

In the first chapters of his Gospel, Saint Luke draws a parallel between Jesus and His precursor John. Thus, the account of the announcement made to Zechariah of the birth of John the Baptist is entirely parallel to the account we read of the announcement made to Mary of the birth of Jesus, which we read on the feast of the Immaculate Conception. In the passage from Matthew's Gospel that we have just read, Jesus himself draws this parallel between himself and John. John the Baptist therefore occupies a very special place in the Gospel, and likewise in the liturgy of Advent.

The Gospel we have just read has some points in common with the Magnificat of the Virgin Mary, which are very interesting and extremely revealing.

9 décembre 2025 – Mardi de la 2ème semaine de l’Avent

Isaïe 40, 1-11 ; Matt. 18, 12-14. 

Homélie

          La première lecture d’aujourd’hui, tirée comme les jours précédents du Livre d’Isaïe est le début de la deuxième partie de ce Livre, ou de ce qui est appelé le Deuxième Isaïe, et donc aussi le début de ce qui est connu sous le beau nom du Livre de la Consolation d’Israël. C’est en même temps le récit de la vocation du prophète.
