1st Reading – Malachi 3:1-4, 23-24

1 Behold I send my angel, and he shall prepare the way before my face. And presently the Lord, whom you seek, and the angel of the testament, whom you desire, shall come to his temple. Behold he comes, says the Lord of hosts.

2 And who shall be able to think of the day of his coming? and who shall stand to see him? for he is like a refining fire, and like the fuller’s herb:

3 And he shall sit refining and cleansing the silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and shall refine them as gold, and as silver, and they shall offer sacrifices to the Lord in justice.

4 And the sacrifice of Judah and of Jerusalem shall please the Lord, as in the days of old, and in the ancient years.

23 Lo, I will send you Elijah, the prophet, Before the day of the LORD comes, the great and terrible day,

24 To turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the land with doom.

Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 25:4-5AB, 8-9, 10 AND 14

R. (see Luke 21:28) Lift up your heads and see; your redemption is near at hand.

4 Your ways, O LORD, make known to me;
teach me your paths,
5AB Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my savior.
R. Lift up your heads and see; your redemption is near at hand.

8 Good and upright is the LORD;
thus he shows sinners the way.
9 He guides the humble to justice,
he teaches the humble his way.
R. Lift up your heads and see; your redemption is near at hand.

10 All the paths of the LORD are kindness and constancy
toward those who keep his covenant and his decrees.
14 The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him,
and his covenant, for their instruction.
R. Lift up your heads and see; your redemption is near at hand.

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
O King of all nations and keystone of the Church:
come and save man, whom you formed from the dust!
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel – Luke 1:57-66

57 Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth arrived, and she brought forth a son.

58 And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and so they congratulated her.

59 And it happened that, on the eighth day, they arrived to circumcise the boy, and they called him by his father’s name, Zechariah.

60 And in response, his mother said: “Not so. Instead, he shall be called John.”

61 And they said to her, “But there is no one among your relatives who is called by that name.”

62 Then they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him to be called.

63 And requesting a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: “His name is John.” And they all wondered.

64 Then, at once, his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosened, and he spoke, blessing God.

65 And fear fell upon all of their neighbors. And all these words were made known throughout all the hill country of Judea.

66 And all those who heard it stored it up in their heart, saying: “What do you think this boy will be?” And indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him.
