Mass Readings and Reflections for December 9th 2025

First Reading: (Isaiah 40:1–11)

Responsorial Psalm: (Psalm 96): “The Lord our God comes with power.” 

Gospel: (Matthew 18:12–14)

Reflection Points:

Who are the “lost sheep” in my life, people I’m worried about, or people who have drifted away from God or community?

What “mountains” or “valleys” in my heart need leveling, pride, impatience, fear, sadness?

How can I cooperate with God’s coming, be a channel of comfort, hope, and mercy to others?

These are the questions I'm reflecting on today and will meditate on for the next 24 hours and I wanted to invite you to join. 

God bless you
