Second Reading for 4th Sunday in Advent – Year C - Daily Catholic Mass Reading

Brothers and sisters:

When Christ came into the world, he said: "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; in holocausts and sin offerings you took no delight.

Then I said, 'As is written of me in the scroll, behold, I come to do your will, O God.'"

First he says, "Sacrifices and offerings, holocausts and sin offerings, you neither desired nor delighted in."

These are offered according to the law. Then he says, :Behold, I come to do your will."

He takes away the first to establish the second.

By this "will," we have been consecrated through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
