READINGS:
Collect 
              O God,
               who see how your people faithfully await
               the feast of the Lord’s Nativity,
               enable us, we pray,
               to attain the joys of so great a salvation
               and to celebrate them always
               with solemn worship and glad rejoicing.
               Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
               who lives and reigns with you
               in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
               one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

 

First Reading: Zephaniah 3:14-18
                Shout for joy, daughter of Zion, Israel, shout aloud! Rejoice, exult with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has repealed your sentence; he has driven your enemies away. The Lord, the king of Israel, is in your midst; you have no more evil to fear. When that day comes, word will come to Jerusalem: Zion, have no fear, do not let your hands fall limp. The Lord your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult with joy over you, he will renew you by his love; he will dance with shouts of joy for you as on a day of festival. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

READINGS:​
​From the second Sunday in Advent.
Collect 
Almighty and merciful God,
may no earthly undertaking hinder those
who set out in haste to meet your Son,
but may our learning of heavenly wisdom
gain us admittance to his company.
Who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

 
 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 125
 When the Lord delivered Zion from bondage,
            it seemed like a dream.
            Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
            on our lips there were songs.
Response: What marvels the Lord worked for us!
            Indeed we were glad.
 The heathens themselves said:
            “What marvels the Lord worked for them!”
            What marvels the Lord worked for us!
            Indeed we were glad.
Response: What marvels the Lord worked for us!
            Indeed we were glad.
 Deliver us, O Lord, from our bondage
            as streams in dry land.
            Those who are sowing in tears
            will sing when they reap.
Response: What marvels the Lord worked for us!
            Indeed we were glad.
 They go out, they go out, full of tears,
            carrying seed for the sowing:
            they come back, they come back, full of song,
            carrying their sheaves.
Response: What marvels the Lord worked for us!
            Indeed we were glad.
 

Gospel:
Luke 3:1-6
 A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
             In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar’s reign, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judaea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of the lands of Ituraea and Trachonitis, Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, during the pontificate of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah, in the wilderness. He went through the whole Jordan district proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the book of the sayings of the prophet Isaiah: A voice cries in the wilderness: Prepare a way for the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley will be filled in, every mountain and hill be laid low, winding ways will be straightened and rough roads made smooth. And all mankind shall see the salvation of God.

 The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
