11 December 2022 - 3rd Sunday in Advent - On this third Sunday of Advent we recall the doubts that John the Baptist had about the Messiahship of Jesus. While recognizing Jesus as the Anointed One, John couldn't accept Jesus’ messianic agenda or the redemptive nature of the Kingdom of Heaven. In response, Jesus said “Blessed is the one not offended in me.” How many of us, like John the Baptist, have expectations of Jesus that lead to disappointment which can corrode our faith and ultimately our relationship with God?
Readings: Isaiah 35:1-10, Psalm 146:4-9, Matthew 11:2-11.
