2 December

FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT In Advent, the liturgy frequently repeats and assures us, as if to overcome our natural diffidence, that God “comes”: he comes to be with us in every situation of ours, he comes to dwell among us, to live with us and within us; he comes to fill the gaps that divide and separate us; he comes to reconcile us with him and with one another. He comes into human history to knock at the door of every man and every woman of good will, to bring to individuals, families and peoples the gifts of brotherhood, harmony and peace. This is why Advent is par excellence the season of hope in which believers in Christ are invited to remain in watchful and active waiting, nourished by prayer and by the effective commitment to love.

(Pope Benedict XVI)

Entrance Antiphon

T

Cf. Ps 24:1-3

o you, I lift up my soul, O my God. In you, I have trusted; let me not be put to shame.

Nor let my enemies exult over me; and let none who hope in you be put to shame.

Ant. ad introitum

A

d te levavi animam meam, Deus meus, in te confido, non erubescam.

Neque irrideant me inimici mei, etenim universi qui te exspectant non confundentur.

The Gloria in excelsis (Glory to God in the highest) is not said.

Collect Grant your faithful, we pray, almighty God, the resolve to run forth to meet your Christ with righteous deeds at his coming, so that, gathered at his right hand, they may be worthy to possess the heavenly Kingdom.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

First Reading A reading from the prophet Jeremiah

33:14‑16

I will make a virtuous Branch grow for David.

See, the days are coming – it is the Lord who speaks – when I am going to fulfil the promise I made to the House of Israel and the House of Judah:

‘In those days and at that time, I will make a virtuous Branch grow for David, who shall practise honesty and integrity in the land.

In those days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell in confidence.

And this is the name the city will be called: The Lord-our‑integrity.’

The word of the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 24:4-5,8-9,10,14. R. v.1

R. To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

Lord, make me know your ways.

Lord, teach me your paths.

Make me walk in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my saviour. R. The Lord is good and upright.

He shows the path to those who stray, he guides the humble in the right path; he teaches his way to the poor. R. His ways are faithfulness and love for those who keep his covenant and will.

The Lord’s friendship is for those who revere him; to them he reveals his covenant. R. Second Reading A reading from the first letter of St Paul to the Thessalonians

3:12-4:2

May the Lord confirm your hearts in holiness when Christ comes.

May the Lord be generous in increasing your love and make you love one another and the whole human race as much as we love you. And may he so confirm your hearts in holiness that you may be blameless in the sight of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus Christ comes with all his saints.

Finally, brothers, we urge you and appeal to you in the Lord Jesus to make more and more progress in the kind of life that you are meant to live: the life that God wants, as you learnt from us, and as you are already living it. You have not forgotten the instructions we gave you on the authority of the Lord Jesus.

The word of the Lord.

Gospel A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

21:25‑28,34‑36

Your liberation is near at hand.

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; on earth nations in agony, bewildered by the clamour of the ocean and its waves; men dying of fear as they await what menaces the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand erect, hold your heads high, because your liberation is near at hand.

‘Watch yourselves, or your hearts will be coarsened with debauchery and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day will be sprung on you suddenly, like a trap. For it will come down on every living man on the face of the earth. Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to stand with confidence before the Son of Man.’ The Gospel of the Lord.

The Creed is said.

Prayer over the Offerings

Super oblata

Accept, we pray, O Lord, these offerings we make, gathered from among your gifts to us, and may what you grant us

Through Christ our Lord.

the immaculate conception of the blessed virgin mary On the path of Advent shines the star of Mary Immaculate, “a sign of certain hope and comfort” (Lumen Gentium, n. 68). To reach Jesus, the true light, the sun that dispels all the darkness of history, we need light near us, human people who reflect Christ’s light and thus illuminate the path to take. And what person is more luminous than Mary? Who can be a better star of hope for us than she, the dawn that announced the day of salvation? For this reason, the liturgy has us celebrate today, as Christmas approaches, the Solemn Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary: the mystery of God’s grace that enfolded her from the first instant of her existence as the creature destined to be Mother of the Redeemer, preserving her from the stain of original sin. Looking at her, we recognise the loftiness and beauty of God’s plan for everyone: to become holy and immaculate in love, in the image of our Creator.

(Pope Benedict XVI)

The Gloria in excelsis (Glory to God in the highest) is said.

Collect O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin prepared a worthy dwelling for your Son, grant, we pray, that, as you preserved her from every stain by virtue of the Death of your Son, which you foresaw, so, through her intercession, we, too, may be cleansed and admitted to your presence.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Collecta Deus, qui per immaculatam Virginis Conceptionem dignum Filio tuo habitaculum præparasti, quæsumus, ut, qui ex morte eiusdem Filii tui prævisa, eam ab omni labe præservasti, nos quoque mundos, eius intercessione, ad te pervenire concedas.

Per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia sæcula sæculorum.

First Reading A reading from the book of Genesis

3:9‑15,20

I will make you enemies of each other; your offspring and her offspring.

After Adam had eaten of the tree, the Lord God called to him, ‘Where are you?’ he asked. ‘I heard the sound of you in the garden,’ he replied. ‘I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.’ ‘Who told you that you were naked?’ he asked. ‘Have you been eating of the tree I forbade you to eat?’ The man replied, ‘It was the woman you put with me; she gave me the fruit, and I

ate it.’ Then the Lord God asked the woman, ‘What is this you have done?’

The woman replied, ‘The serpent tempted me and I ate.’

Then the Lord God said to the serpent, ‘Because you have done this, ‘Be accursed beyond all cattle, all wild beasts.

You shall crawl on your belly and eat dust every day of your life.

I will make you enemies of each other: you and the woman, your offspring and her offspring.

It will crush your head and you will strike its heel.’

The man named his wife ‘Eve’ because she was the mother of all those who live.

The word of the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 97:1-4. R. v.1

Sing a new song to the Lord for he has worked wonders.

His right hand and his holy arm have brought salvation. R. The Lord has made known his salvation; has shown his justice to the nations.

He has remembered his truth and love for the house of Israel. R. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout to the Lord all the earth, ring out your joy. R. Second Reading A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Ephesians

1:3‑6,11‑l2

Before the world was made, God chose us in Christ.

Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all the spiritual blessings of heaven in Christ.

Before the world was made, he chose us, chose us in Christ, to be holy and spotless, and to live through love in his presence, determining that we should become his adopted sons, through Jesus Christ for his own kind purposes, to make us praise the glory of his grace, his free gift to us in the Beloved.

And it is in him that we were claimed as God’s own, chosen from the beginning, under the predetermined plan of the one who guides all things as he decides by his own will; chosen to be, for his greater glory, the people who would put their hopes in Christ before he came.

The word of the Lord.

Gospel A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

1:26-38

Rejoice, so highly favoured! The Lord is with you.

The angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, so highly favoured! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Listen! You are to conceive and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I am a virgin?’ ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you’ the angel answered, ‘and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow.

Through Christ our Lord.

Vere dignum et iustum est, æquum et salutare, nos tibi semper et ubique gratias agere: Domine, sancte Pater, omnipotens æterne Deus: Qui beatissimam Virginem Mariam ab omni originalis culpæ labe præservasti, ut in ea, gratiæ tuæ plenitudine ditata, dignam Filio tuo Genetricem præparares et Sponsæ eius Ecclesiæ, sine ruga vel macula formosæ, signares exordium.

and the Church.

For you preserved the most Blessed Virgin Mary from all stain of original sin, so that in her, endowed with the rich fullness of your grace, you might prepare a worthy Mother for your Son and signify the beginning of the Church, his beautiful Bride without spot or wrinkle.

She, the most pure Virgin, was to bring forth a Son, the innocent Lamb who would wipe away our offences; you placed her above all others to be for your people an advocate of grace and a model of holiness.

And so, in company with the choirs of Angels, we praise you, and with joy we proclaim:

Filium enim erat purissima Virgo datura, qui crimina nostra Agnus innocens aboleret; et ipsam præ omnibus tuo populo disponebas advocatam gratiæ et sanctitatis exemplar.

Et ideo, choris angelicis sociati, te laudamus in gaudio confitentes:

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts... Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus. . .
