Second Reading Philippians 1:4-6, 8-11
4always, in all my prayers, making supplication for all of you with joy,
5because of your communion in the Gospel of Christ, from the first day even until now.
6I am confident of this very thing: that he who has begun this good work in you will perfect it, unto the day of Christ Jesus.
- Some verses are not read.
8For God is my witness how, within the heart of Jesus Christ, I long for all of you.
9And this I pray: that your charity may abound more and more, with knowledge and with all understanding,
10so that you may be confirmed in what is better, in order that you may be sincere and without offense on the day of Christ:
11filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, in the glory and praise of God.

Gospel Luke 3:1-6
1Then, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being procurator of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2under the high priests Annas and Caiaphas: the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
3And he went into the entire region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,
4just as it has been written in the book of the sermons of the prophet Isaiah: “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight his paths.
5Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low. And what is crooked shall be made straight. And the rough paths shall be made into level ways.
6And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
