Afflicted he shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked Justice shall be the band around his waist and faithfulness a belt upon his hips then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb and the Lepard shall lie down
With a kid the calf and the Young Lion shall browse together with a little child to guide them the cow and the bear shall be neighbors together their young shall rest the lion shall eat him like the ox the baby shall play by the Cobra’s

The Learned you have revealed them to the childlike yes Father such has been your gracious will all things have been handed over to me by my father no one knows who the son is except the father and who the father is except the son and anyone to whom the son wishes to reveal
Him turning to his to the disciples in private he said blessed are the eyes that see what you see for I say to you many prophets and Kings desired to see what you see but did not see it and to hear what you hear but did not hear
It the gospel of the Lord praise to you Lord Jesus Christ my dear brothers and sisters today is the third day of Advent and we already know that advent is a time to wait to prepare to anticipate to hope to watch and to be alert because the Lord is Coming usually we associate the coming of the Lord with death that is why we are afraid that the Lord will come but the Lord comes in many different ways and when the Lord comes he brings beautiful things to our life and this is what our readings today tell
Us what will the Lord do when he comes what will happen to our lives when he comes in our first reading today the prophet Isaiah tells us that when the Lord comes there will be justice justice will reign the prophet Isaiah tells us that when the Lord comes judgment will no
Longer be based on hearsay nor by appearance judgment will not be biased but fair now how many times in our life have we been judged only because of our appearance or because of he say but when the Lord comes there will be true Justice that is not biased but always
Fair and the poor according to the prophet Isaiah the poor will experience Justice the poor who are who are always deprived of Justice will experience True Justice and the prophet Isaiah also says those who enjoy Justice because they got Justice in the wrong way will experience the Wrath of
God Justice will happen when the Lord comes and this is also what Jesus tells us in our gospel today Jesus prays to the father he gives praise to the father because the father has hidden the mysteries of the Kingdom from the wise and the learned and has revealed them to the church
Childlike the father has valued those who are lonely and humble and he did not pay attention to those who claim to be intelligent wise and clever in the world that is not always the case only those who are wise and clever and int ENT according to the standards
Of the world enjoy Justice and enjoy knowledge but for God even those who are lonely and humbl those who are nothing are given value and not only that not only Justice the prophet Isaiah also tells us that there will be Harmony and the prophet Isaiah uses very beautiful
Imageries he says the wolf shall be the guest of the Lamb the leopard shall lie down with a kid the calf and the Young Lion shall browse together the cow and the bear shall be neighbors the lion shall eat hay with the ox they are
Enemies when you go to the forest in the jungle they will divor each other but when the Lord comes these animals will become friends there will be Harmony in the land and the prophet Isaiah also says the baby shall play by the Cobra Den when the Lord comes there will be
Harmony there will be no more harm there will be no more ruin and there will be no one who will hurt others my dear brothers and sisters should we be afraid of the coming of the Lord should we not long for his coming should we not ask Jesus to come now to
Bring Justice to bring Harmony to bring peace and love when the Lord comes there will will be no destruction no judgment no condemnation but only the Beautiful Things justice peace Harmony love and mercy things that we desire things that we dream of when the Lord comes as we said in the
Responsorial ssal Justice shall flourish in his time and fullness of peace forever please stand let us pray to our Heavenly Father Who reveals the mysteries of the Kingdom to the childlike and is close to the humble and the poor with confidence we pray Lord hear our prayer
Lord here our prayer may those who exercise Authority in the church and in the government be filled with the spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord that in deciding our right peace and Justice May reign in our land we pray Lord here our pray may we realize and appreciate
The gift of faith in Christ that reveals to us the mysteries of the Heavenly Kingdom that prophets and Kings long to to see and to hear we pray Lord here our pray pray may we bring the children to the knowledge and love of the Lord through our teaching and good example we
