Eglise St Jean Baptiste - THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT MASS 12/22/24
Holy mass celebrated by Father John Kamas at St. Jean Baptiste Roman Catholic Church in New York City for the Fourth Sunday of Advent 2024.
MICAH 5:1-4A | HEBREWS 10:5-10 | LUKE 1:39-45
PASTOR’S REFLECTION:
This last Sunday of Advent begins with the clarion voice of the prophet Micah. “Thus says the Lord:
You, BethlehemEphrathah too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler of Israel.” Bethlehem was the birthplace of Israel’s greatest king, David.
He united the twelve tribes and made Jerusalem the national and religious capital. Micah’s prophetic eye sees another king being born in Bethlehem.
The Gospel of Luke adds a commentary about this king. “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his Father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” The commentary continues in the Gospel passage we’re reading today.
Mary had been told that she was going to have a child through the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. She was also told that her relative, Elizabeth, a woman far beyond the age of conception, was pregnant. Excited, puzzled and frightened, Mary ran to her thinking she might understand what has happened. Their meeting is a poetic commentary on the marvelous event that was unfolding.
Elizabeth represents the old, now sterile, Israel. Mary is the young, fertile, new Israel. At their meeting, the child, the last prophet of Israel, leaped for joy in Elizabeth’s womb because the time of waiting was over. Mary’s child will ascend to the throne of David. But his chair won’t be a gilded throne; it will be a cross. And from that cross the kingdom of God will begin the slow process of its manifestation.
----------------PRAYER-----------------------
Father in heaven,
as I approach the season
of Christmas and Epiphany,
enlighten my mind to
the meaning of your Son’s birth,
death and resurrection.
Help me to see
beyond the dark struggles
and conflicts that afflict
the world to the bright light of your kingdom
shining in my heart.
Help me to free that light
through the life I lead and the people I touch.
Help me to be a good and
faithful servant in your kingdom.
Amen

I aam so very grateful for all of the priests who have such awesome faith. Beautiful and incredibly peaceful. Blessings to all🙏
I love this church🙏
Happy Father’s Day!
Wow, lots of ad libbing, No sign of the cross, no Gloria. The liturgy does not belong to this priest, accept Vatican II and offer Mass according to the Roman Missal. Liberal mess.
I just started attending this church last Tuesday. It's amazing. Full of love and peace. Beautiful sermons. Blessings to all who attend the Mass here🙏
❤
Hi, Father John. Thank you, so much! My Great-Grandfather Leo Sebastian Melanson was an Acadian Catholic immigrant that has a perpetual mass offered their for him. I am not far in the Bronx, and plan to visit for mass soon. God Bless you and all of the clergy at ST. Jean Baptiste
I can’t stop wondering about this, because I recently heard about this practice in another church, and I can’t tell if it’s dark or not. Could you please tell me what your thoughts are regarding putting money on the altar while blessing the Eucharist? It would really put my overwrought mind to rest knowing what it might mean to you. Thank you.
Thank you Father for this Mass!
Happy Thanksgiving! 🙏🏼
This was full of love. It touched my heart. Thank you.
Hello from Texas Father John! Give our best to Father Ernest, Father Bernard, Father James, and brother Tom. 🙏🏼
Wonderful, timely, very imp sermon that truly resonates ❤
