midnight Mass readings
Isaiah 9: The
people that walked in darkness has seen a great light. On those who live
in a land of deep shadow, a light has shone. For the yoke that was weighing on
them, the rod of their oppressor, you have broken and removed. For there is a
child born for us, a son given to us, and dominion is laid on his shoulders. And
he will be called Wonder-Counselor, Mighty-God, Eternal-Father, Prince-of-Peace.
Jesus, Prince of Peace, thank you for the peace and hope and joy of your
friendship

Titus
2: God's grace has made
salvation available for the whole human race. We
must give up everything that does not lead to God. We
must delete our worldly ambitions. We must be self-restrained and live good
lives here in this present world, while we wait in hope for the blessings that
will come with the Coming of the glory of our God and savior Christ Jesus. He
sacrificed himself for us in order to set us free from wickedness, and to purify
us so that we would have no ambition except to do good.
Jesus, please help me give up everything that does not lead to you

Luke
2.1-7: Caesar Augustus issued a
decree for a census of the whole world to be taken. This census - the first -
took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria, and everyone went to his own
town to be registered. So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in
Galilee and travelled up to Judaea, to the town of David called Bethlehem,
since he was of David's House and line, in order to be registered together
with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there the
time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to a son, her first
born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid
him in a manger because there was no room for them at the inn.
Recording
Luke 2.8-14: In
the countryside close by there were shepherds who lived in the fields and took
it in turns to watch their flocks during the night. The angel of the Lord
appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone round them. They were
terrified, but the angel said, "Do not be afraid. Listen, I bring you
news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people. Today
in the town of David a saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
And here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes
and lying in a manger." And suddenly with the angel there was a great
throng of the heavenly host, praising God and singing: "Glory
to God in the highest heaven, and peace to all who
enjoy his favour."
Recording
Reflection: No matter where we are, no matter what's happening in our lives, even if we are in a time of sadness (e.g. after a death in the family), even if in prison .... Christmas gives us hope and peace .... because Christmas is all about the birth of the Source of hope and peace: Jesus

talking about? 53 years is about 50 years too long. We
really don't even like each other any more. Dad! I can't
believe this. Hold on .... I'm gonna call my sister & I'll get back to
you. (calls attorney sister in Chicago) Sis! You're not going to
believe this! Dad just called to tell me that he and mom are getting
a divorce! What?! That's crazy! I'll call them,
then we better get down there just as soon as we can. (sister calls
Dad back in Phoenix) Dad? This is just crazy, and besides
I'm a lawyer. Don't do anything until I get there - until my brother &
I get there. We're coming in on the next possible flights. Elderly
man hangs up the phone and turns to his wife and says, "Well, dear, the
kids are finally going to come home for Christmas ... and they're paying their

Micah 3: The
Lord God says this: Look, I
am going to send my messenger to prepare a way before me. Know
that I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before my day comes. He shall
turn the hearts of fathers towards their children and the hearts of children
towards their fathers.
Lord, may we accept the messengers who prepare your way
Recording of this reading
Psalm 24: Lord,
make me know your ways. Lord, teach me your paths. Make
me walk in your truth, and teach me, for you are God my saviour. The
Lord is good and upright. He shows the path to those who stray, he guides the
humble in the right path, he teaches his way to the poor.
Lord, help me walk in your truth
Recording
Luke
1.57- 62: The
time came for Elizabeth to have her child, and she gave birth to a son; and
when her neighbours and relations heard that the Lord had shown her so great a
kindness, they shared her joy. Now on the eighth day they came to circumcise
the child; they were going to call him Zechariah after his father, but his
mother spoke up. "No," she said "he
is to be called John." They said to her, "But no one in your
family has that name", and made signs to his father to find out what he
wanted him called.
Recording
Luke
1.63- 66: The father asked for a
writing-tablet and wrote, "His name is John." And they were all
astonished. At that instant his power of speech returned and he spoke and
praised God. All their neighbours were filled with awe and the whole affair
was talked about throughout the hill country of Judaea. All those who heard
of it treasured it in their hearts. "What
will this child turn out to be?" they wondered. And indeed the hand
of the Lord was with him.
Lord, may I treasure your message in my heart
Recording
Reflection: Today's readings are all about the Christmas Baby's cousin, John the Baptist, born 6 months before the first Christmas. His job was to prepare the way for Jesus. Which is also the job of every Christian - to prepare a way for Jesus, to help other people know and love the Baby born at Christmas.

79-80: O God, the nations have
invaded your sacred land, they have profaned your holy temple. They have made
Jerusalem a heap of ruins. We have become the taunt of our neighbours, the
mockery and scorn of those who surround us. How long, O Lord, will all this
last? How long will this sorrow keep going? Do not hold the guilt of our
ancestors against us. If their guilt is somehow influencing our situation now
please give peace and healing to everyone and everything in our history.
Let the groans of the prisoners come before you. Let your strong arm reprieve
those condemned to die. O
Lord, our God, help us and save us. Let your face shine on us and we
shall be saved.
Lord, please heal any problems in my family tree

Kiss me. Your love is better than wine. How right it is to love you, you whom my
heart loves. The
bridegroom says: How
beautiful you are, my love, how beautiful you are. The

he is the source of all true joy. May your love be upon us, O Lord, since we
place all our trust in you.

Zephaniah 3.14-18: Shout

have no more evil to fear. When that day comes, word will come to Jerusalem:
Zion, have no fear, do not let your hands fall limp. The Lord your God is in
your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult with joy over you, he will
renew you by his love; he
will dance with shouts of joy for you as on a day of

Isaiah
7: A foreign king and his army
attacked Jerusalem. The king of Judah and his
people were full of fear. God told Isaiah to say to the king of Judah:
"Keep calm, have no fear. You will not be defeated. The Lord himself gives
you a sign of his protection: a
maiden is with child and will give birth to a son whom she will call God-with-us."
Lord, please help me understand how you are God-with-me every day

earth and all its peoples. It is the Lord who is Creator of the universe. May

Luke
1.26-38: In the sixth month
of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to the town of Nazareth in
Galilee, to a virgin named Mary who was betrothed to a man named Joseph. The
angel said to her "Mary, Rejoice! You have been greatly blessed by God. You
are to conceive and have a son whom you must name Jesus. He will be great
and will be called the Son of God". Mary said to the angel, "How can
this happen since I am a virgin?" The
angel replied "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most
High will specially bless you. Know this too: your cousin Elizabeth has, in her
old age, conceived a son, and is now in her sixth month". "I am
the handmaid of the Lord", said Mary, "let what you have said, be done
for me". And the angel left her.
God the Son, thank you for becoming a baby in Mary's womb
Recording
Reflection (Dec
19, 2018): Christmas
means helping the needy, just as Jesus came
down to help us in our neediness; trusting in God, as Mary did,
even if we don't understand his plans; rising up, as Joseph did,
to accomplish God's will, even if it means changing our own plans. It will
really be Christmas if, like Joseph,
we make room for silence; if, like Mary,
we say "Here I am" to God; if, like Jesus,
we are close to those who are alone; if, like the
shepherds,
we go out of our enclosures to be with Jesus.

Judges 12-13: Jephthah
was judge in Israel for 6 years. For the following 25 years, Ibzan (7 years),
Elon (10 years) and Abdon (8 years) were judges. After these judges,
the Israelites again were unfaithful to the Lord and so they were oppressed by
the Philistines for 40 years. It was then that the angel of the Lord appeared to
Manoah's wife and said to her: "You are barren and have had no child. But
you will soon conceive and bear a son. No razor is to touch his head, for
he shall be dedicated to the Lord from his mother's womb. It is he who will
rescue Israel from the Philistines". The woman gave birth to a son and
called him Samson. The child grew and the Lord blessed him.
Dear Lord, please bless all barren women
Recording of this reading
Psalm 71: In
you, O Lord, I take refuge. Please hear me and help me. Be
a rock where I can take refuge. Rescue me from people who want to hurt me. It is
you, O Lord, who are my hope. In you I have trusted since I was young. From
my mother's womb you have been my help. My hope has always been in you.
Now that I am old, please do not forget me. Now that my strength fails, do not
abandon me. Now that I am old and grey-headed, may I continue to trust in you
and proclaim your help. To you I will sing with the harp. All day long my tongue
will tell of your goodness to me.
Lord, may all elderly people put their trust and hope in you

1. 5-25: When
Herod was king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah and his wife
Elizabeth who were really good people, but they were childless. Once when they
went to the Temple in Jerusalem, Zechariah entered the inner sanctuary to burn
incense, while all the people prayed outside. An angel appeared and said
"Zechariah, your prayer has been heard. Your
wife will have a son and you must name him John. He
will prepare the way of the Lord". Not long after this, Elizabeth
conceived, and for 5 months she kept to herself, thanking God for taking away
her humiliation at not being able to have a baby.
Jesus, please help childless couples to have a baby

Jeremiah 23: See,
the days are coming, it is the Lord who speaks, when I will raise a
virtuous Branch for David, who will reign as true king and be wise,
practising honesty and integrity in the land. In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel dwell in confidence. And this is the name he will be called:
The-Lord-our-integrity.
Jesus, Branch of David, may the coming Christmas
celebration of your birth give more integrity to our world
Recording
of this reading
Psalm
72: O God, give your judgement to the king, to a
king's son your justice, that he may judge your people in justice, and your
poor in right judgement. For he
shall save the poor when they cry, and the needy who are helpless. He
will have pity on the weak, and save the lives of the poor. Blessed be the
Lord, God of Israel, who alone works wonders. Ever blessed his glorious name.
Let his glory fill the earth. Amen! Amen!
Jesus, save the lives of the poor!
Recording
Matthew
1.18-24 (a): This
is how Jesus Christ came to be born. His mother Mary was betrothed to
Joseph; but before they came to live together she was found to be with child
through the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a man of honour and wanting
to spare her publicity, decided to divorce her informally. He had made up his
mind to do this when the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
"Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife,
because she has conceived what is in her by the Holy Spirit. She will give birth
to a son and you must name him Jesus,
because he is the one who is to save his
people from their sins."
Recording
Matthew 1.18-24 (b): Now
all this took place to fulfil the words spoken by the Lord through the
prophet: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son,
and they will call him Emmanuel,
a name which means "God-is-with-us." When
Joseph woke up he did what the angel of the Lord had told him to do: he took
his wife to his home.
Jesus, Saviour, Emmanuel, we praise you Lord
Recording
Reflection on the above readings: The Gospel says how Jesus will be Emmanuel, "God with us". From "God be with you" came "Godbwye" which became "Godbye" which became "Goodbye". Each time we say "bye bye" or "bye" or "goodbye" to someone, let's remember the meaning "God be with you".
