- Tuesday of the First Week of Advent
Reading 1 Isaiah 11:1-10
On that day,
A shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse,
and from his roots a bud shall blossom.
The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him:
a Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
A Spirit of counsel and of strength,
a Spirit of knowledge and of fear of the LORD,
and his delight shall be the fear of the LORD.
Not by appearance shall he judge,
nor by hearsay shall he decide,
But he shall judge the poor with justice,
and decide aright for the land’s afflicted.
He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.
Justice shall be the band around his waist,
and faithfulness a belt upon his hips.
Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid;
The calf and the young lion shall browse together,
with a little child to guide them.
The cow and the bear shall be neighbors,
together their young shall rest;
the lion shall eat hay like the ox.
The baby shall play by the cobra’s den,
and the child lay his hand on the adder’s lair.
There shall be no harm or ruin on all my holy mountain;
for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the LORD,
as water covers the sea.
On that day,
The root of Jesse,
set up as a signal for the nations,
The Gentiles shall seek out,
for his dwelling shall be glorious.Responsorial Psalm Psalm 72:1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17
R. (see 7) Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.
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.
R. Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.
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.
R. Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.
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.
R. Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.
May his name be blessed forever;
as long as the sun his name shall remain.
In him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed;
all the nations shall proclaim his happiness.
R. Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.Alleluia <a href="https://bible.usccb.orgroute? “>
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Behold, our Lord shall come with power;
he will enlighten the eyes of his servants.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.Gospel Luke 10:21-24
– – –Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said,
“I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
for although you have hidden these things
from the wise and the learned
you have revealed them to the childlike.
Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.
All things have been handed over to me by my Father.
No one knows who the Son is except the Father,
and who the Father is except the Son
and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”
Turning to the disciples in private he said,
“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
For I say to you,
many prophets and kings desired to see what you see,
but did not see it,
and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.”

- Martes de la primera semana de Adviento
Primera lectura Isaίas 11, 1-10
En aquel día, brotará un renuevo del tronco de Jesé,
un vástago florecerá de su raíz.
Sobre él se posará el espíritu del Señor,
espíritu de sabiduría e inteligencia,
espíritu de consejo y fortaleza,
espíritu de piedad y temor de Dios.
No juzgará por apariencias,
ni sentenciará de oídas;
defenderá con justicia al desamparado
y con equidad dará sentencia al pobre;
herirá al violento con el látigo de su boca,
con el soplo de sus labios matará al impío.
Será la justicia su ceñidor,
la fidelidad apretará su cintura.
Habitará el lobo con el cordero,
la pantera se echará con el cabrito,
el novillo y el león pacerán juntos
y un muchachito los apacentará.
La vaca pastará con la osa
y sus crías vivirán juntas.
El león comerá paja con el buey.
El niño jugará sobre el agujero de la víbora;
la creatura meterá la mano en el escondrijo de la serpiente.
No harán daño ni estrago
por todo mi monte santo,
porque así como las aguas colman el mar,
así está lleno el país de la ciencia del Señor.
Aquel día la raíz de Jesé se alzará
como bandera de los pueblos,
la buscarán todas las naciones
y será gloriosa su morada.Salmo Responsorial Salmo 71, 2. 7-8. 12-13. 17
R. (cf. 7) Ven, Señor, rey de paz y de justicia.
Comunica, Señor, al rey tu juicio
y tu justicia, al que es hijo de reyes;
así tu siervo saldrá en defensa de tus pobres
y regirá a tu pueblo justamente.
R. Ven, Señor, rey de paz y de justicia.
Florecerá en sus días la justicia
y reinará la paz, era tras era.
De mar a mar se extederá su reino
y de un extremo al otro de la tierra.
R. Ven, Señor, rey de paz y de justicia.
Al débil librará del poderoso
y ayudará al que se encuentra sin amparo;
se apiadará del desvalido y pobre
y salvará la vida al desdichado.
R. Ven, Señor, rey de paz y de justicia.
Que bendigan al Señor eternamente
y tanto como el sol, viva su nombre.
Que sea la bendición del mundo entero
y lo aclamen dichoso las naciones.
R. Ven, Señor, rey de paz y de justicia.
Aclamación antes del Evangelio
R. Aleluya, aleluya.
Ya viene el Señor, nuestro Dios, con todo su poder
para iluminar los ojos de sus hijos.
R. Aleluya.Evangelio Lucas 10, 21-24
– – –En aquella misma hora, Jesús se llenó de júbilo en el Espíritu Santo y exclamó: “¡Yo te alabo, Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, porque has escondido estas cosas a los sabios y a los entendidos, y las has revelado a la gente sencilla! ¡Gracias, Padre, porque así te ha parecido bien! Todo me lo ha entregado mi Padre y nadie conoce quién es el Hijo, sino el Padre; ni quién es el Padre, sino el Hijo y aquel a quien el Hijo se lo quiera revelar”.
Volviéndose a sus discípulos, les dijo aparte: “Dichosos los ojos que ven lo que ustedes ven. Porque yo les digo que muchos profetas y reyes quisieron ver lo que ustedes ven y no lo vieron, y oír lo que ustedes oyen y no lo oyeron”.

Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.Amen.
St. Alphonsus Liguori
Spiritual Communion Prayer
At Thy feet, O my Jesus, I prostrate myself and I offer Thee repentance of my contrite heart, which is humbled in its nothingness and in Thy holy presence. I adore Thee in the Sacrament of Thy love, the ineffable Eucharist. I desire to receive Thee into the poor dwelling that my heart offers Thee. While waiting for the happiness of sacramental communion, I wish to possess Thee in spirit. Come to me, O my Jesus, since I, for my part, am coming to Thee! May Thy love embrace my whole being in life and in death. I believe in Thee, I hope in Thee, I love Thee. Amen.
Servant of God Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val
Anima Christi Prayer
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from Christ’s side, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the malicious enemy defend me.
In the hour of my death call me.
And bid me come unto Thee.
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints.
Forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer of Thanksgiving after Communion
Lord, Father all-powerful and ever-living God, I thank You, for even though I am a sinner, your unprofitable servant, not because of my worth but in the kindness of your mercy, You have fed me with the Precious Body & Blood of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that this Holy Communion may not bring me condemnation and punishment but forgiveness and salvation.
May it be a helmet of faith and a shield of good will. May it purify me from evil ways and put an end to my evil passions. May it bring me charity and patience, humility and obedience, and growth in the power to do good. May it be my strong defense against all my enemies, visible and invisible, and the perfect calming of all my evil impulses, bodily and spiritual. May it unite me more closely to you, the One true God, and lead me safely through death to everlasting happiness with You.
And I pray that You will lead me, a sinner, to the banquet where you, with Your Son and holy Spirit, are true and perfect light, total fulfillment, everlasting joy, gladness without end, and perfect happiness to your saints. grant this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
St. Thomas Aquinas
Sunday, April 13th – Palm Sunday
PROCESSIONAL
HOSANNA (PRAISE IS RISING) (Paul Baloche)
Hosanna, hosanna!
You are the God that saves us, worthy of all our praises
Hosanna, hosanna!
Come have your way among us, we welcome You here, Lord Jesus
Praise is rising, eyes are turning to You, we turn to You
Hope is stirring, hearts are yearning for You, we long for You
‘Cause when we see You we find strength to face the day
In your Presence all our fears are washed away, washed away
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
PSALM 22 (Francesca la Rosa)
My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
PREPARATION OF THE ALTAR
EVEN UNTO DEATH (Audrey Assad)
Jesus, the very thought of you
It fills my heart with love
Jesus, You burn like wildfire
And I am overcome
Lover of my soul even unto death
With my every breath, I will love you
Lover of my soul even unto death
With my every breath, I will love you
Jesus, You are my only hope
And you, my prize shall be
Jesus, You are my glory now
And in eternity
One thing I desire
To see you in your beauty
You are my delight, You are my glory
You, my sacrifice
Oh, your love is all consuming
You are my delight, You are my glory
COMMUNION
O THE BLOOD (Mary E. Miller and Thomas Miller)
O the blood, crimson love
Price of life’s demand
Shameful sin placed on Him
The Hope of every man
O the blood of Jesus washes me
O the blood of Jesus shed for me
What a sacrifice that saved my life
Yes, the blood, it is my victory
Savior Son, Holy One
Slain so I can live
See the Lamb, the great I Am
Who takes away my sin
Oh the blood of the Lamb!
Oh the blood of the Lamb!
Oh the blood of the Lamb!
The precious blood of the Lamb!
What a sacrifice that saved my life
Yes, the blood, it is my victory
Oh what love, no greater love
Grace, how can it be?
That in my sin, yes even then
He shed his blood, his blood for me
POST-COMMUNION MEDITATION
FOR THE JOY SET BEFORE HIM (Latifah Makuyi)
On that hill there’s a broken man
A broken world cries for blood
Crying out for His Father’s hand
Darker days there were none
I can’t but look away as tears stream down His face
I thought all hope was lost, my Savior on that cross
I heard Him say, “It is finished now”
I saw the sky chase the sun
I heard the tear of Temple cloth
As He gave His spirit to God
The soldiers stood in awe, surely a righteous man He was
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus Son of God
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus Son of God
Heaven touched earth that day
In the most beautiful way
For the joy set before Him
For the joy set before Him
RECESSIONAL
IN CHRIST ALONE (Stuart Townsend and Keith Getty)
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All.
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! – who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe.
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied –
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground his body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain.
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine –
Bought with the precious Blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand,
Till He returns to call me home,
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.
