    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Ps 1:1Rv 11:19a;12:1-6a, 10ab

    God's temple in heaven was opened,
    and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple.

    A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun,
    with the moon under her feet,
    and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
    She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.
    Then another sign appeared in the sky;
    it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns,
    and on its heads were seven diadems.
    Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky
    and hurled them down to the earth.
    Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth,
    to devour her child when she gave birth.
    She gave birth to a son, a male child,
    destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod.
    Her child was caught up to God and his throne.
    The woman herself fled into the desert
    where she had a place prepared by God.

    Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
    "Now have salvation and power come,
    and the Kingdom of our God
    and the authority of his Anointed."

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Jdt 13:18bcde, 19

    R. (15:9d) You are the highest honor of our race.
    Blessed are you, daughter, by the Most High God,
    above all the women on earth;
    and blessed be the LORD God,
    the creator of heaven and earth.
    R. You are the highest honor of our race.
    Your deed of hope will never be forgotten
    by those who tell of the might of God.
    R. You are the highest honor of our race.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Lk 1:39-47

    Mary set out
    and traveled to the hill country in haste
    to a town of Judah,
    where she entered the house of Zechariah
    and greeted Elizabeth.
    When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting,
    the infant leaped in her womb,
    and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit,
    cried out in a loud voice and said,
    "Most blessed are you among women,
    and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
    And how does this happen to me,
    that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
    For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears,
    the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
    Blessed are you who believed
    that what was spoken to you by the Lord
    would be fulfilled."

    And Mary said:

    "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
    my spirit rejoices in God my savior."

    Advent Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Is 40:1-11

    Comfort, give comfort to my people,
    says your God.
    Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her
    that her service is at an end,
    her guilt is expiated;
    Indeed, she has received from the hand of the LORD
    double for all her sins.

    A voice cries out:
    In the desert prepare the way of the LORD!
    Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God!
    Every valley shall be filled in,
    every mountain and hill shall be made low;
    The rugged land shall be made a plain,
    the rough country, a broad valley.
    Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
    and all people shall see it together;
    for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

    A voice says, “Cry out!”
    I answer, “What shall I cry out?”
    “All flesh is grass,
    and all their glory like the flower of the field.
    The grass withers, the flower wilts,
    when the breath of the LORD blows upon it.
    So then, the people is the grass.
    Though the grass withers and the flower wilts,
    the word of our God stands forever.”

    Go up onto a high mountain,
    Zion, herald of glad tidings;
    Cry out at the top of your voice,
    Jerusalem, herald of good news!
    Fear not to cry out
    and say to the cities of Judah:
    Here is your God!
    Here comes with power
    the Lord GOD,
    who rules by his strong arm;
    Here is his reward with him,
    his recompense before him.
    Like a shepherd he feeds his flock;
    in his arms he gathers the lambs,
    Carrying them in his bosom,
    and leading the ewes with care.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    PS 96:1-2, 3 and 10ac, 11-12, 13

    R. (see Isaiah 40:10ab) The Lord our God comes with power.
    Sing to the LORD a new song;
    sing to the LORD, all you lands.
    Sing to the LORD;bless his name;
    announce his salvation, day after day.
    R. The Lord our God comes with power.
    Tell his glory among the nations;
    among all peoples, his wondrous deeds.
    Say among the nations: The LORD is king;
    he governs the peoples with equity.
    R. The Lord our God comes with power.
    Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice;
    let the sea and what fills it resound;
    let the plains be joyful and all that is in them!
    Then let all the trees of the forest rejoice.
    R. The Lord our God comes with power.
    They shall exult before the LORD, for he comes;
    for he comes to rule the earth.
    He shall rule the world with justice
    and the peoples with his constancy.
    R. The Lord our God comes with power.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Mt 18:12-14

    Jesus said to his disciples:
    “What is your opinion?
    If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray,
    will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills
    and go in search of the stray?
    And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it
    than over the ninety-nine that did not stray.
    In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father
    that one of these little ones be lost.”
