SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT



 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.

GOD'S GIFTS

GOD'S GIFT Mathew 25:14-30 Jesus spoke this parable to his disciples: ‘The kingdom of Heaven is like a man on his way abroad who summoned his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to a third one; each in proportion to his ability. Then he set out. ‘The man who had received the five talents promptly went and traded with them and made five more. The man who had received two made two more in the same way. But the man who had received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. ‘Now a long time after, the master of those servants came back and went through his accounts with them. The man who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more. “Sir,” he said “you entrusted me with five talents; here are five more that I have made.” ‘His master said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have shown you can be faithful in small things, I will trust you with greater; co...

HE EXISTED BEFORE ME

First Reading 1 John 2:22-28 The anointing he gave you teaches you everything The man who denies that Jesus is the Christ  he is the liar, he is Antichrist; and he is denying the Father as well as the Son, because no one who has the Father can deny the Son, and to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father as well. Keep alive in yourselves what you were taught in the beginning: as long as what you were taught in the beginning is alive in you, you will live in the Son and in the Father; and what is promised to you by his own promise is eternal life. This is all that I am writing to you about the people who are trying to lead you astray. But you have not lost the anointing that he gave you, and you do not need anyone to teach you; the anointing he gave teaches you everything; you are anointed with truth, not with a lie, and as it has taught you, so you must stay in him. Live in Christ, then, my children, so that if he appears, we may have full confidence, and not turn from him...

BE CURED

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...
