Prélude sur l’Introït de l’Épiphanie Maurice Duruflé (1903-1986)

Introit

Ecce * advenit dominator Dominus: et regnum in manu eius, et potestas, et imperium.

Deus, iudicium tuum regida: et iustitiam tuam filio regis.

Reges Tharsis et insulae munera offerent:

reges Arabum et Saba dona adducent.

Et adorabunt eum omnes reges terrae: omnes gentes servient ei.

Behold, the Sovereign Lord is coming; kingship, government, and power are in his hands.

Endow the King with your judgment, O God, and the King’s son with your righteousness.

The kings of Tarshish and their house offer you gifts; Kings of Arabia and Seba also bring offerings.

All kings of the earth shall adore him; all nations shall serve him.

-Cf. Mal 3:1; 1 Chron 29:12; Ps 71:1, 10, 11

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you.See, darkness covers the earth, and thick clouds cover the peoples; but upon you the LORD

shines, and over you appears his glory. Nations shall walk by your light, and kings by your shining radiance. Raise your eyes and look about; they all gather and come to you: your sons come from afar, and your daughters in the arms of their nurses. Then you shall be radiant at what you see, your heart shall throb and overflow, for the riches of the sea shall be emptied out before you, the wealth of nations shall be brought to you. Caravans of camels shall fill you, dromedaries from Midian and Ephah; all from Sheba shall come bearing gold and frankincense, and proclaiming the praises of the LORD.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 72

O God, with your judgment endow the king, and with your justice, the king’s son;He shall govern your people with justice and your afflicted ones with judgment. Refrain

Justice shall flower in his days, and profound peace, till the moon be no more.May he rule from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. Refrain

The kings of Tarshish and the Isles shall offer gifts; the kings of Arabia and Seba shall bring tribute.All kings shall pay him homage, all nations shall serve him. Refrain

For he shall rescue the poor when he cries out, and the afflicted when he has no one to help him.He shall have pity for the lowly and the poor; the lives of the poor he shall save. Refrain

Brothers and sisters:You have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for your benefit,

namely, that the mystery was made known to me by revelation. It was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.

Music: Mass in Honor of Mary, Mother of God; Donald Krubsack © 2010, Liturgical Press. All rights reserved. Used with permission under OneLicense.net A-704048.

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage." When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, He inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet: And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel." Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star's appearance. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage." After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way.



A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 2:1-12 They were overjoyed at seeing the star.

Intercessions

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

In the midst of Christmas night, while the stars were shining bright,of a sudden, clear, and radiant, one appeared and shone resplendent

with the luster of the sun, with the luster of the sun.

Wise men by this star were led to the Christ-child’s lowly bed.Guiding star, oh may we heed thee,

may we know we ever need thee.Lead us to our heav’nly king, lead us to our heavenly king.

-Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig (1873-1872) tr. Ingebret Dorrum (1877-1952)

Dejlig er den himmel blå lyst det er at se derpå

hvor de gyldne stjerner blinke, hvor de smile, hvor de vinke

os fra jorden op til sig.

Oh, how beautiful the sky,with the sparkling stars on high,how they glitter, brightly beaming,how they twinkle, gladsome beaming,as they draw our hearts to heav’n.

COMMUNION RITE

Invitation to Spiritual Communion Priest: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the

world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.Assembly: Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,

but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Spiritual Communion My Jesus,I believe that you are truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.I love You above all things and I desire to possess You within my soul.Since I am unable at this moment to receive You sacramentally,come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as being already there,and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

-Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)

Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) described Spiritual Communion as an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament and lovingly embrace him at a time or in circumstances when we cannot receive him in Sacramental Communion.
