But neither Jesus\u2019 nor our movement stops there. After the encounter, we are called to journey with Jesus, going forth united with him to continue and fulfill his messianic mission of salvation. Today\u2019s readings help us to focus on all three of these Advent movements.<\/li>\n<li>The first movement concerns Christ\u2019s reasons and sentiments coming into the world. They\u2019re aptly summarized in today\u2019s Gospel: \u201cAt the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.\u201d These words not only describe why Jesus \u201cwent around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom and curing every disease and illness,\u201d but also why he came into our world in the first place. He looked at us and saw that we were mangled and abandoned, lost, in need of God\u2019s guidance and God\u2019s healing, and he entered the world as our Shepherd to protect us from the wolves and to call us by name to follow him through dark valleys into the verdant pastures of his sheepfold. He was the fulfillment of what Isaiah had been inspired by the Holy Spirit to prophesy in today\u2019s first reading: \u201cHe will be gracious to you when you cry out,\u00a0as soon as he hears he will answer you.\u00a0The Lord will give you the bread you need\u00a0and the water for which you thirst.\u00a0No longer will your Teacher hide himself,\u00a0but with your own eyes you shall see your Teacher, while from behind, a voice shall sound in your ears: \u2018This is the way; walk in it,\u2019\u00a0when you would turn to the right or to the left.\u201d Jesus would be the Answer to, and the Answerer of,\u00a0our prayers. He would give us not only our material bread but become our Living Bread to feed us. He would not only quench our physical thirsts but becoming our Living Water so that we would never thirst again (Jn 4:13-14). He would assume our human nature so that we could see our Teacher and be able to learn not only from his words but most especially by following his example. And his words and example would attune our consciences to hear his voice speaking to us from within, \u201cThis is the way; walk in it,\u201d because we would have observed his path, heard him say, \u201cI am the way,\u201d and be moved inwardly to follow in his footsteps.\u00a0That\u2019s the dynamism of the Lord\u2019s coming to us in history, mystery and majesty.<\/li>\n<li>The second\u00a0movement is for us to go out to meet him who is coming to us in this way, with these sentiments. It\u2019s to go out with eagerness, with our prayers to be heard, with our hunger and thirst for more of what God alone can give, with our need for a Shepherd to guide us, with a passion for his proclamation of the Good News, his teaching about how to live it and his healing, especially the much needed healing of our souls.\u00a0On Monday,\u00a0the Prophet Isaiah will tell us that this path Jesus will come into our world to indicate is\u00a0a special one: it\u2019s a highway called \u201cthe holy way.\u201d And Isaiah says it has several characteristics:\u00a0First, \u201cno one unclean may pass over it:\u201d It\u2019s not only for those who desire holiness, but those who have been cleansed; God\u2019s mercy, in other words, precedes our repentance, our making straight the paths.\u00a0Second, it\u2019s \u201cfor those with a journey to make\u201d; it\u2019s not for the inert\u00a0who\u00a0desire to remain exactly where they are, who don\u2019t want to change, who don\u2019t want to move.\u00a0Third, it\u2019s an exodus route\u00a0on which \u201cthe redeemed will walk\u201d; Even when we\u2019re redeemed that is not the end of the journey, but in a sense the beginning. Once we\u2019ve been redeemed, now we can begin that journey. That is the path of repentance, metamorphosis and holiness we\u2019re called to make as we go out to meet Jesus.<\/li>\n<li>That leads to the third movement. Jesus wants our encounter with him to be transformative, nourishing, and healing to such a great extent that we seek to extend it. He wants to change us through our meeting him in such a way that we can share his presence, and others, in seeing us, may see a reflection of the Master and of his teaching, his proclamation, his healing, his compassion. Today\u2019s Gospel\u00a0shows us this.\u00a0Jesus\u2019 heart bursting with compassion as he told the disciples that \u201cthe harvest is abundant but the laborers are few\u201d and asked them, \u201cPray to the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.\u201d Little did they know that when they were praying for laborers, they were praying for themselves! Immediately after those prayers, St. Matthew tells us today, Jesus \u201csummoned his Twelve disciples\u00a0and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out\u00a0and to cure every disease and every illness.\u201d He gave them his own authority to continue his work. He instructed them to do exactly what he himself had been doing: \u201cGo to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: \u2018The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.\u2019 \u00a0Cure the sick, raise the dead,\u00a0cleanse lepers, drive out demons.\u201d He told them that just as \u201cwithout cost you have received,\u201d so \u201cwithout cost you are to give.\u201d Jesus wanted their own innards sick with compassion on the mangled and abandoned crowds. He wanted to empower them with his own compassion and authority in order to be able to shepherd others aright along the holy highway Jesus came to indicate. And part of the disciples\u2019 own healing, part of their own absorption of the Lord\u2019s proclaiming and teaching, was to become nurses of the Divine Physician, teaching assistants of the Master, echoes of his Proclamation in the world. They would be able to do all of this because once we really encounter the Lord as he wants to be met, the Lord transforms us more and more into members of his body and then accompanies us in all of this work. Isaiah prophesied in today\u2019s first reading, \u201cHe will give rain for the seed\u00a0that you sow in the ground.\u201d He will bless our labor in the Vineyard, our work of harvesting; he will water the seed we sow, not letting our efforts ever go to waste. But I think there\u2019s also a more significant meaning here. Jesus himself would say later in St. John\u2019s Gospel, \u201cAmen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.\u201d Just as Jesus fell to the ground and died as a grain of wheat and bore great fruit, so he calls us to sow ourselves, promising that he would water that sacrifice. The encounter with Jesus on\u00a0which Advent helps us to focus is geared toward this type of transformation, so that we, meeting Christ, will take on his compassion and seek to sow ourselves for the salvation of others and in the process preserve our own life into eternity. This is the holy way on which the redeemed walk. This is the way of the kingdom.<\/li>\n<li>All three parts of the triple dynamism of Advent happen here at Mass. The Lord Jesus in the Mass comes to teach us, to proclaim his Good News, to heal us, to feed us, to quench our thirst. We go out through the Mass to meet him, not because we have to, but because we want to, because we love him, because we know we need him. And it\u2019s here that the Lord transforms us by his teaching in the Liturgy of the Word and by our communion with him in the holy Eucharist so that, at the end of Mass, he may send us forth to glorify the Lord by our life, to roll up our sleeves as laborers for his harvest. Little did the twelve disciples know that when they were praying for laborers for the Lord\u2019s harvest that Jesus would immediately respond by calling them by name. The Lord wants us to grasp that every time we heed his command to pray to the Harvest Master for workers \u2014 as we do today \u2014 we are not just praying for others, but praying for ourselves. He\u2019s called us here today in order to teach, heal and transform us so that, with his heart-filled compassion, we may go out and sow ourselves together with the One whose words and very Body and Blood will be sown in us today. This is the point of Advent. This is the point of life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>The readings for today\u2019s Mass were:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Reading 1\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/isaiah\/30:19|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage2.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=119051f884&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">is 30:19-21, 23-26<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">Thus says the Lord GOD,<br \/>\nthe Holy One of Israel:<br \/>\nO people of Zion, who dwell in Jerusalem,<br \/>\nno more will you weep;<br \/>\nHe will be gracious to you when you cry out,<br \/>\nas soon as he hears he will answer you.<br \/>\nThe Lord will give you the bread you need<br \/>\nand the water for which you thirst.<br \/>\nNo longer will your Teacher hide himself,<br \/>\nbut with your own eyes you shall see your Teacher,<br \/>\nWhile from behind, a voice shall sound in your ears:<br \/>\n\u201cThis is the way; walk in it,\u201d<br \/>\nwhen you would turn to the right or to the left.<\/div>\n<div class=\"poetry\">He will give rain for the seed<br \/>\nthat you sow in the ground,<br \/>\nAnd the wheat that the soil produces<br \/>\nwill be rich and abundant.<br \/>\nOn that day your flock will be given pasture<br \/>\nand the lamb will graze in spacious meadows;<br \/>\nThe oxen and the asses that till the ground<br \/>\nwill eat silage tossed to them<br \/>\nwith shovel and pitchfork.<br \/>\nUpon every high mountain and lofty hill<br \/>\nthere will be streams of running water.<br \/>\nOn the day of the great slaughter,<br \/>\nwhen the towers fall,<br \/>\nThe light of the moon will be like that of the sun<br \/>\nand the light of the sun will be seven times greater<br \/>\nlike the light of seven days.<br \/>\nOn the day the LORD binds up the wounds of his people,<br \/>\nhe will heal the bruises left by his blows.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Responsorial Psalm\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/psalms\/147:1|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=b730223b20&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">ps 147:1-2, 3-4, 5-6<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">R.
