 SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT

SUNDAY WEEK II

Invitatory:           Lord, open my lips

O God come to my assistance. Lord make haste to help me.

Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Alleluia

Ant.          Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, alleluia

Psalm118             A song of victory

Give thanks to the Lord, for His good, his mercy endures for ever.
Let the house of Israel say, His mercy endures for ever.
Let the house of Aaron say, His mercy endures for ever.
Let those who fear the Lord say, His mercy endures for ever.

I called to the Lord in my distress, he has answered and freed me.
The Lord is at my side; I do not fear. What can man do against me?
The Lord is at my side as my helper, I shall look in triumph on my foes.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to trust in princes………

Psalm 142

Ant. 2     Let us sing hymns of praise to our God, alleluia

Cant. Daniel 3:52-57

Blest are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers, to be praised and highly exalted for ever.
Blest is your glorious and holy name, to be highly praised and exalted for ever.

Blest are you in the temple of your holy glory, to be highly praised and exalted for ever.
Blest are you in the throne of your kingdom, to be praised and highly exalted for ever.

Blest are you who look into the depths, seated upon the cherubim, to be praised and highly exalted for ever…..

Ant. 3     Praise the Lord for his infinite greatness, alleluia

Praise the Lord in his holy place, praise him in his mighty firmament.
Praise him for his powerful deeds, praise him for his boundless splendour.

O praise him with sound of trumpet, praise him with lute and harps.
Praise him with timbrel and dance, praise him with strings and pipes

O praise him resounding cymbals, praise him with clashing of cymbals.
Let everything that breathes praise the Lord.

It is the hour now for you to awake from sleep.  For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed; the night is advanced, the day is at hand.  Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the amour of light.  Rom. 13:11-12

Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on us

A voice cries in the desert: Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his path.


Prayer:               God of power and mercy, open our hearts in welcome. Remove the things that hinder us from receiving Christ with joy, so that we may share his wisdom and become one with him when he comes in glory, for he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

SAMEDI - SEMAINE DES CENDRES: AELF Montre-moi ton chemin, Seigneur, ECFR :Première Lecture  Isaïe  58,9b-14  Tu seras comme une source où les eaux ne manquent jamais Ainsi parle le Seigneur : Si tu fais disparaître de chez toi le joug, le geste accusateur, la parole malfaisante, si tu donnes à celui qui a faim ce que toi, tu désires, et si tu combles les désirs du malheureux, ta lumière se lèvera dans les ténèbres et ton obscurité sera lumière de midi.   Le Seigneur sera toujours ton guide. En plein désert, il comblera tes désirs et te rendra vigueur. Tu seras comme un jardin bien irrigué, comme une source où les eaux ne manquent jamais. Tu rebâtiras les ruines anciennes, tu restaureras les fondations séculaires. On t’appellera : « Celui qui répare les brèches », « Celui qui remet en service les chemins ». Si tu t’abstiens de voyager le jour du sabbat, de traiter tes affaires pendant mon jour saint, si tu nommes « délices » le sabbat et déclares « glorieux » le...

Prayer before Mass:  Almighty and ever-living God, I approach the sacrament of Your only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. I come sick to the doctor of life, unclean to the fountain of mercy, blind to the radiance of eternal light, and poor and needy to the Lord of heaven and earth. Lord, in Your great generosity, heal my sickness, wash away my defilement, enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty, and clothe my nakedness. May I receive the Bread of Angels, the King of kings and Lord of lords, with humble reverence, with the purity and faith, the repentance and love, and the determined purpose that will help   to bring me to salvation.  May I receive the sacrament of the Lord’s Body and Blood, and its reality and power.  Kind God, may I receive the Body of Your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, born from the womb of the Virgin Mary, and so be received into His mystical body and numbered among His members.  Loving Father, as on my earthly pilgrima...

ALLÉLUIA. ALLÉLUIA! VOICI LE JOUR QUE FIT LE SEIGNEUR: AELF Alléluia, alléluia, alléluia Première Lecture Actes  2,14.22-33 « Ce Jésus, Dieu l’a ressuscité ; nous tous, nous en sommes témoins »  Le jour de la Pentecôte, Pierre, debout avec les onze autres Apôtres, éleva la voix et leur fit cette déclaration : « Vous, Juifs, et vous tous qui résidez à Jérusalem, sachez bien ceci, prêtez l’oreille à mes paroles. Il s’agit de Jésus le Nazaréen, homme que Dieu a accrédité auprès de vous en accomplissant par lui des miracles, des prodiges et des signes au milieu de vous, comme vous le savez vous-mêmes. Cet homme, livré selon le dessein bien arrêté et la prescience de Dieu, vous l’avez supprimé en le clouant sur le bois par la main des impies. » Mais Dieu l’a ressuscité en le délivrant des douleurs de la mort, car il n’était pas possible qu’elle le retienne en son pouvoir. En effet, c’est de lui que parle David dans le psaume : Je voyais le Seigneur devant moi sans relâche :...
