Lord, open my lips.
And my mouth will proclaim your praise.

Psalm 100
Come, let us sing to the Lord and shout with joy to the rock who saves us.

Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing for joy.

Know that he, the Lord, is God.
He made us, we belong to him,
we are his people, the sheep of his flock.

Go within his gates, giving thanks.
Enter his courts with songs of praise.
Give thanks to him and bless his name.

Indeed, how good is the Lord,
eternal his merciful love.
He is faithful from age to age.

A soul thirsting for God
Whoever has left the darkness of sin yearns for God.

like a dry, weary land without water.
So I gaze on you in the sanctuary
to see your strength and your glory.

For your love is better than life,

for you have been my help;

My soul clings to you;
your right hand holds me fast.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be for ever. Amen.

Gospel Canticle

Ant. The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath.

Luke 1:68 – 79
The Messiah and his forerunner
Performed and arranged by Erika Provinzano

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;
he has come to his people and set them free.
He has raised up for us a mighty savior,
born of the house of his servant David.

Through his holy prophets he promised of old
that he would save us from our enemies,
from the hands of all who hate us.
He promised to show mercy to our fathers
and to remember his holy covenant.

This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
free to worship him without fear,
holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.

You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
to give his people knowledge of salvation
by the forgiveness of their sins.

In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be for ever. Amen.

Ant. The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath.

Intercessions

Christ is the sun that never sets, the true light that shines on every man. Let us call out to him in praise:
– Lord, you are our life and our salvation.

Creator of the stars, we thank you for your gift, the first rays of the dawn,
and we commemorate your resurrection.
– Lord, you are our life and our salvation.

May your Holy Spirit teach us to do your will today,
and may your Wisdom guide us always.
– Lord, you are our life and our salvation.

Each Sunday give us the joy of gathering as your people,
around the table of your Word and your Body.
– Lord, you are our life and our salvation.

From our hearts we thank you,
for your countless blessings.
– Lord, you are our life and our salvation.

Hymn: O God, Our Help in Ages Past (available from Amazon.com)
1. O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.

2. Under the shadow of thy throne,
still may we dwell secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defense is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting, thou art God,
to endless years the same.

4. A thousand ages, in thy sight,
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night,
before the rising sun.

5. Time, like an ever rolling stream,
bears all who breathe away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.

6. O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come;
be thou our guide while life shall last,
and our eternal home.

Psalm 110:1-5, 7
The Messiah, king and priest
Ant: The Lord will stretch forth his might scepter from Zion, and he will reign for ever, alleluia.

1 The Lord’s revelation to my Master:
“Sit on my right:
your foes I will put beneath your feet.”

2 The Lord will yield from Zion
your scepter of power:
rule in the midst of all your foes.

3 A prince from the day of your birth
on the holy mountains;
from the womb before the dawn I begot you.

4 The Lord has sworn an oath he will not change.
“You are a priest for ever,
a priest like Melchizedek of old.”

* * *

5 The Master standing at your right hand
will shatter kings in the day of his wrath.

7 He shall drink from the stream by the wayside
and therefore he shall lift up his head.

Psalm 114
The Israelites are delivered from the bondage of Egypt
Ant: The earth is shaken to its depths before the glory of your face.

1 When Israel came forth from Egypt,
Jacob’s sons from an alien people
2 Judah became the Lord’s temple,
Israel became his kingdom.

3 The sea fled at the sight:
the Jordan turned back on its course,
4 the mountains leapt like rams
and the hills like yearling sheep.

5 Why was it, sea, that you fled,
that you turned back, Jordan, on your course?
6 Mountains, that you leapt like rams;
hills, like yearling sheep?

7 Tremble, O earth, before the Lord,
in the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turns the rock into a pool
and flint into a spring of water.

Canticle see Revelation 19:1-7
The wedding of the Lamb

Examination of conscience

Hymn:O Radiant Light by Choir of The Cathedral of the Madeleine & The Madeleine Choir School

Psalm 91– Safe in God’s sheltering care
Antiphon: Night holds no terrors for me sleeping under God’s wings.

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
and abides in the shade of the Almighty
2 says to the Lord: “My refuge,
my stronghold, my God in whom I trust!”

3 It is he who will free you from the snare
of the fowler who seeks to destroy you;
4 he will conceal you with his pinions
and under his wings you will find refuge.

5 You will not fear the terror of the night
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the plague that prowls in the darkness
nor the scourge that lays waste at noon.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand fall at your right,
you, it will never approach;
4c his faithfulness is buckler and shield.

8 Your eyes have only to look
to see how the wicked are repaid,
9 you who have said: “Lord, my refuge!”
and have made the Most High your dwelling.

10 Upon you no evil shall fall,
no plague approach where you dwell.
11 For you has he commanded his angels,
to keep you in all your ways.

12 They shall bear you upon their hands
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 On the lion and the viper you will tread
and trample the young lion and the dragon.

14 Since he clings to me in love, I will free him;
protect you for he knows my name.
15 When he calls I shall answer: “I am with you,”
I will save him in distress and give him glory.

16 With length of days I will content him;
I shall let you see my saving power.

Reading:Revelation 22:4-5

They shall see him face to face and bear his name on their foreheads. The night shall be no more. They will need no light from lamps or the sun, for the Lord God shall give them light, and they shall reign forever.

Responsory:

Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit
- Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit

You have redeemed us, Lord God of truth.
- I commend my spirit

Glory to the Father . . .
- Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit

Gospel Canticle: Luke 2:29-32
Christ is the light of the nations and the glory of Israel
Antiphon: Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake; watch over us as we sleep, that awake, we may keep watch with Christ, and asleep, rest in his peace.

Lord, now you let your servant go in peace;
Your word has been fulfilled.
My eyes have seen the salvation
which you have prepared in the sight of every people,
A light to reveal you to the nations and the glory of your people, Israel.
