Isaiah and John the Baptist urge the people to prepare their hearts and make a straight path that leads to God.

The readings today proclaim the abundant blessings we receive from the Lord…inspiring us to share this abundance with those around us.

The Lord is our light who brings sight to our eyes and dispels the darkness of our hearts.

Both Isaiah and the Gospel of Matthew use the strength of rock to illustrate God’s powerful protection.

The pity and mercy of Jesus are echoed in the prophecy of Isaiah who tells us that “the Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces.” May this compassion inspire us to respond to Christ’s call today.

Both the prophecy of Isaiah and the proclamation of Jesus reveal how the Lord fulfills the great plan of God’s salvation.
