Friday, 9th December 2022 — Second Week of Advent — Year A — The Lord will come; go out to meet him! He is the prince of peace — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 11: 16-19

Jesus said to the crowds:

“To what shall I compare this generation?
It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another,
‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance,
we sang a dirge but you did not mourn.’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said,
‘He is possessed by a demon.’
The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said,
‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard,
a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’
But wisdom is vindicated by her works.”
