• LITURGY OF THE WORD •A reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah 61:1-2a 10-11 In my God is the joy of my soul.

The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, to announce a year of favor from the LORD and a day of vindication by our God.

I rejoice heartily in the LORD, in my God is the joy of my soul; for he has clothed me with a robe of salvation and wrapped me in a mantle of justice, like a bridegroom adorned with a diadem, like a bride bedecked with her jewels. As the earth brings forth its plants, and a garden makes its growth spring up, so will the Lord GOD make justice and praise spring up before all the nations.

Responsorial Psalm Luke 1

Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterances. Test everything; retain what is good. Refrain from every kind of evil.

May the God of peace make you perfectly holy and may you entirely, spirit, soul, and body, be preserved blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will also accomplish it.

A reading from the Holy Gospel According to John 1:6-8, 19-28 Who are you?

A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light.

And this is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?” He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.” So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” So they said to him, “Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?” He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘make straight the way of the Lord,’” as Isaiah the prophet said.” Some Pharisees were also sent. They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?” John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.” This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Apostles’ Creed (Please stand.)

(All bow at the words in bold.)

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Meditation

O chosen children, Israel, Bring thankful praises now;A savior blooms on David’s tree, A royal sacred bough.The dawning Sun shall rise on us, A Day of lasting light,

God’s visitation sets us free From never-ending night. The prophet’s lips had long foretold This liberty from foes

Whose hateful grasp would seek our fall, Our work for God oppose.Yet dawning Sun arises strong, The Day of lasting light,So we, in holy justice, serve And worship in God’s sight. Here God recalls the covenant, Unshackles us from fear;

The promise made to Abraham Shines luminous and clear.For dawning Sun, for God Most High, For Day of lasting light,

You are a herald, holy child, Our guide to peace and right. Praise God, whose radiant, saving grace Forgives us all our sins,

Praise Christ, who over dismal death Our victory still wins,And praise the Spirit, fire of love, Whose brilliant flame takes flight

In soaring Sun, now ris’n on us, Great Day of lasting light.

Prayer after Spritual Communion (Please stand.)

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.

Luke 1:46-55 / Proclaim the Greatness of GodJames J. Chepponis

For he has favored his lowly one, and all shall call me blessed. The almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. Refrain

He favors those who fear his name, in ev’ry generation. He has shown the might and strength of his arm,

and scattered the proud of heart. Refrain

He has cast the mighty from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with all good gifts, and sent the rich away. Refrain
