Saturday of the First Week of Advent

Jesus traveled throughout all of the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every illness and every infirmity. Then, seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed and were reclining, like sheep without a shepherd.
