PENITENTIAL ACT
I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
(and striking their breast, they say)
through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

OPENING PRAYER (The Collect)
THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
FIRST READING Micah 5:1-4a RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 80
Cantor first, then All: Owen Alstott
SECOND READING Hebrews 10:5-10 ALLELUIA Cantor first, then All: Murray
GOSPEL Luke 1:39-45 HOMILY CREED
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,
(all bow through “and became man”) 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.
PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL Cantor: All:
We pray to the… Lord, hear our prayer.

Alma Redemptoris Mater, quae pervia caeli porta manes, et stella maris, succurre cadenti, surgere qui curat, populo: tu quae genuisti, natura mirante, tuum sanctum Genitorem, Virgo prius ac posterius, Gabrielis ab ore, sumens illud Ave peccatorum miserere.
Loving mother of the Redeemer, who remains the gate of heaven, and star of the sea, assist your fallen people who strive to rise; You who, with nature admiring, gave birth to your holy Creator, Virgin before and after, You who received the Ave from the mouth of Gabriel, have mercy on us sinners.

(Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world; have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world; grant us peace.)
ANTIPHON – Behold, a Virgin shall conceive and bear a son; and his name will be called Emmanuel. (Isaiah 7:14) COMMUNION HYMN Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
(music for this hymn can be found in the TODAY’S MISSAL ) PICARDY
1. Let all mortal flesh keep silence, And with fear and trembling stand; Ponder nothing earthly-minded, For with blessing in his hand Christ, our God to earth descendeth, Our full homage to demand.
2. King of kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth he stood. Lord of lords in human vesture; In the Body and the Blood He will give to all the faithful His own self for heav’nly food.
3. Rank on rank the host of heaven Spreads its vanguard on the way, As the Light of Light descendeth From the realms of endless day, That the pow’rs of hell may vanish As the darkness clears away.
4. At his feet the six-winged seraph;
Cherubim with sleepless eye, Veil their faces to the Presence, As with ceaseless voice they cry, Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, Lord Most High!”
The Cathedral’s second collection helps to fund outreach programs to people who are homeless, poor, or unemployed. Your generosity to those in need is greatly appreciated.
SECOND COLLECTION & HYMN People, Look East BESANÇON
We are now in the final days of preparing for the great Feast of Christmas. In light of everything happening this week I thought it might be helpful to share with you a few housekeeping details. First, please note that confessions will be heard today (Sunday) from 10:00 am until 11:00 am. During the week, confessions will be heard on Monday and Tuesday from 5:00 pm until 6:00 pm and again on Wednesday at 1:00 pm. Multiple priests will be available so as to avoid long lines. Celebrating the
Sacrament of Reconciliation and experiencing the mercy of God is a powerful way to prepare for the birth of Our Lord.
During Bishop Daly’s installation, we were able to maximize seating capacity by filling the center aisle in the east transept with folding chairs and re-configuring the chairs in the west transept. We will do the same for the Christmas Masses - especially the children’s Mass at 4:00 pm on Christmas Eve. I expect we will be able to put at least 100 more people in folding chairs. Please note, however, that despite this increased seating availability it will still be important to arrive early.
I would also like you to know that we are in contact with law enforcement about providing security during the Christmas Masses. It seems wise to have someone keep an eye on your unattended cars parked throughout the neighborhood. Moreover, there is comfort in knowing that an officer is on site prepared to address any potential problems arising from too much Christmas cheer.
Finally, I would encourage you to invite someone to “come home” for Christmas. The beauty and power of our liturgies have the potential to open people’s hearts to the love of Jesus Christ and the Church which he founded. Invite a neighbor, a friend, or perhaps a family member who has not been too active lately and then simply entrust them all to the transformative power of our new born Prince of Peace.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Darrin Connall Rector

The Gospel today tells of the Virgin Mary, pregnant
herself, hurrying off to help her cousin Elizabeth. The
model of good stewardship, she who had given herself
to bear the Savior gave her time and love to others as
well.

Bible Verse
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in you book before one of them came to be.
- Psalm 139: 13-16
