First ReadingBaruch 5:1-9

From the Book of Baruch

1Take off the garment of your mourning and affliction,O Jerusalem,and put on forever the beauty of the glory from God.2Put on the robe of the righteousness from God.Set on your head a diadem of the glory of the Everlasting.3For God will show your splendor everywhere under heaven.4For your name will be called by God forever “Righteous Peace, Godly Glory”.

5Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand upon the height.Look around you toward the eastand see your children gathered from the going down of the sun to its rising at the word of the Holy One,rejoicing that God has remembered them.6For they went from you on foot,being led away by their enemies,but God brings them in to you carried on high with glory,on a royal throne.7For God has appointed that every high mountainand the everlasting hills should be made low,and the valleys filled up to make the ground level,that Israel may go safely in the glory of God.8Moreover the woodsand every sweet smelling tree have shaded Israel by the commandment of God.9For God will lead Israel with joy in the light of his glory with the mercyand righteousness that come from him.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 126:1-2, 2-3, 4-5, 6

1When the Lord brought back those who returned to Zion,we were like those who dream.2Then our mouth was filled with laughter,and our tongue with singing.

2Then they said among the nations,“The Lord has done great things for them.”3The Lord has done great things for us,and we are glad.

4Restore our fortunes again, Lord,like the streams in the Negev.5Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

6He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

Second ReadingPhilippians 1:4-6, 8-11

From the Letter of Paul to the Philippians

4always in every request of mine on behalf of you all,making my requests with joy,5for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;6being confident of this very thing,that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. verse 7 is not read8For God is my witness,how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

9This I pray, that your love may abound yet moreand more in knowledge and all discernment,10so that you may approve the things that are excellent,that you may be sincereand without offense to the day of Christ,11being filled with the fruits of righteousnesswhich are through Jesus Christ,to the glory and praise of God.

GospelLuke 3:1-6

From the Gospel according to Luke

1Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea,and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee,and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis,and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,2during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas,the word of God came to John,the son of Zacharias,in the wilderness.3He came into all the region around the Jordan,preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.4As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,

“The voice of one crying in the wilderness,‘Make ready the way of the Lord.Make his paths straight.5Every valley will be filled.Every mountain and hill will be brought low.The crooked will become straight,and the rough ways smooth.6All flesh will see God’s salvation.’”

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Prov 8:22-35

Dóminus possedit me in inítio viárum suárum, ántequam quidquam fáceret a princípio. Ab ætérno ordináta sum, et ex antíquis, ántequam terra fíeret. Nondum erant abýssi, et ego jam concépta eram: necdum fontes aquárum erúperant: necdum montes gravi mole constíterant: ante colles ego parturiébar: adhuc terram non fécerat et flúmina et cárdines orbis terræ. Quando præparábat cœlos, áderam: quando certa lege et gyro vallábat abýssos: quando æthera firmábat sursum et librábat fontes aquárum: quando circúmdabat mari términum suum et legem ponébat aquis, ne transírent fines suos: quando appendébat fundaménta terræ. Cum eo eram cuncta compónens: et delectábar per síngulos dies, ludens coram eo omni témpore: ludens in orbe terrárum: et delíciæ meæ esse cum filiis hóminum. Nunc ergo, filii, audíte me: Beáti, qui custódiunt vias meas. Audíte disciplínam, et estóte sapiéntes, et nolíte abjícere eam. Beátus homo, qui audit me et qui vígilat ad fores meas cotídie, et obsérvat ad postes óstii mei. Qui me invénerit, invéniet vitam et háuriet salútem a Dómino.

Lesson from the book of Proverbs

Prov 8:22-35

The Lord begot me, the firstborn of His ways, the forerunner of His prodigies of long ago; from of old I was poured forth, at the first, before the earth. When there were not depths I was brought forth, when there were not fountains or springs of water; before the mountains were settled into place, before the hills, I was brought forth; while as yet the earth and the fields were not made, nor the first clods of the world. When He established the heavens I was there, when He marked out the vault over the face of the deep; when He made firm the skies above, and poised the fountains of waters; when He set for the sea its limit, so that the waters should not transgress His command; when He fixed fast the foundations of the earth, then was I beside Him as His craftsman, and I was His delight day by day, playing before Him all the while, playing on the surface of His earth and I found delight in the sons of men. So now, O children, listen to me; happy those who keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Happy the man who obeys me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my doorsteps; for he who finds me finds life, and wins favor from the Lord.

de Beata Maria Virgine

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Et te in Conceptióne immaculáta beátæ Maríæ semper Vírginis collaudáre, benedícere et prædicáre. Quæ et Unigénitum tuum Sancti Spíritus obumbratióne concépit: et, virginitátis glória permanénte, lumen ætérnum mundo effúdit, Jesum Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:

Blessed Virgin

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: and that we should praise and bless, and proclaim Thee, in the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Mary, ever-Virgin: Who also conceived Thine only-begotten Son by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, and the glory of her virginity still abiding, gave forth to the world the everlasting Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, and the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
