The savior
we have awaited is coming, not
the first time, but in the end
times, as our
salvation.

First
Reading: Isaiah 40:1-5, 9-11
The rugged land shall be made a plain; the
rough country, a broad
valley.

Conduct yourselves in holiness, hastening
the coming of the day of
God.

Mark 1:1-8
I have baptized you with water; he will
