Today’s verse…

But who will endure the day of his coming?

And who can stand when he appears?
For he is like the refiner’s fire,…

He will sit refining and purifying silver,
 and he will purify the sons of Levi,
Refining them like gold or like silver
 that they may offer due sacrifice to the LORD.
Malachi 3:2-3

Reading I Malachi 3:1-4, 23-24
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/malachi/3?1)

Thus says the Lord GOD:
Lo, I am sending my messenger
 to prepare the way before me;
And suddenly there will come to the temple
 the LORD whom you seek,
And the messenger of the covenant whom you desire.
 Yes, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.
But who will endure the day of his coming?
 And who can stand when he appears?
For he is like the refiner’s fire,
 or like the fuller’s lye.
He will sit refining and purifying silver,
 and he will purify the sons of Levi,
Refining them like gold or like silver
 that they may offer due sacrifice to the LORD.
Then the sacrifice of Judah and Jerusalem
 will please the LORD,
 as in the days of old, as in years gone by.
Lo, I will send you
 Elijah, the prophet,
Before the day of the LORD comes,
 the great and terrible day,
To turn the hearts of the fathers to their children,
 and the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike
the land with doom.

Gospel Luke 1:57-66
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/1?57)

When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child
she gave birth to a son. 
Her neighbors and relatives heard
that the Lord had shown his great mercy toward her,
and they rejoiced with her. 
When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child,
they were going to call him Zechariah after his father,
but his mother said in reply,
“No. He will be called John.” 
But they answered her,
“There is no one among your relatives who has this name.” 
So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called. 
He asked for a tablet and wrote, “John is his name,”
and all were amazed.
Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed,
and he spoke blessing God.
Then fear came upon all their neighbors,
 and all these matters were discussed
throughout the hill country of Judea.
All who heard these things took them to heart, saying,
“What, then, will this child be?
For surely the hand of the Lord was with him.”

Who is ready to withstand and bear the coming of the Lord? The Church reminds us that Mary’s purity allows her to receive Christ. As the Christmas season approaches, make your heart like Mary’s so you can also receive the Lord.

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
Lord, I know I lack faith in my life. I fail to believe all that You speak to me. As a result, I often fail to put Your words into action. Dear Lord, when I suffer as a result of my weakness, help me to know that this and all suffering can result in giving glory to You if I renew my faith. Help me, like Zechariah, to return to You always, and use me as an instrument of Your manifest glory.

Let those closest to me see my love for You. My faith in Your Words and truths. My desire to follow Jesus above all else. And though I stumble and fall. I always reach out for Your hand to lift me up.
Thank You for continuing to bless and protect me and mine. Help to be patient with each other, and learn to forgive and forget quickly. Teach us Your ways. Guide our hearts. Hear our prayers.
Remembering all of mine that have passed on to You. Mom, Dub, Dad, Abuelita and Abuelito, Titi Evelyn and Fernando, Nana and Coco, Titi Lisa and Manuel, Louie, David and David, Peggy, and Terri, all those not listed but often remembered.

Jesus I trust in You!
Not my will, but Yours Lord God.
Jesus, Mary, I love You, save souls.
In Jesus name I pray.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Apostles (Nicene) 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,
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.

Lords Prayer

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

O my Jesus

O my Jesus, have mercy on us. Forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Take all souls into heaven, especially, those most in need of thy mercy.
Amen.

Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen)

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
Amen.

Closing Prayer

O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life. Grant, we beseech Thee, that by meditating on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Today’s Responsorial Psalm…

1 Samuel 2:1, 4-5, 6-7, 8abcd
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1samuel/2?1)

R. (see 1a) My heart exults in the Lord, my Savior.


“My heart exults in the LORD,
 my horn is exalted in my God.
I have swallowed up my enemies;
 I rejoice in my victory.”

R. My heart exults in the Lord, my Savior.


“The bows of the mighty are broken,
 while the tottering gird on strength.
The well-fed hire themselves out for bread,
 while the hungry batten on spoil.
The barren wife bears seven sons,
 while the mother of many languishes.”

R. My heart exults in the Lord, my Savior.


“The LORD puts to death and gives life;
 he casts down to the nether world;
 he raises up again.
The LORD makes poor and makes rich,
 he humbles, he also exalts.”

R. My heart exults in the Lord, my Savior.


“He raises the needy from the dust;
 from the dung heap he lifts up the poor,
To seat them with nobles
 and make a glorious throne their heritage.”
R. My heart exults in the Lord, my Savior.

Reading I 1 Samuel 1:24-28
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1samuel/1?24)

In those days,
Hannah brought Samuel with her,
along with a three-year-old bull,
an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine,
and presented him at the temple of the LORD in Shiloh. 
After the boy’s father had sacrificed the young bull,
Hannah, his mother, approached Eli and said:
“Pardon, my lord!
As you live, my lord,
I am the woman who stood near you here, praying to the LORD. 
I prayed for this child, and the LORD granted my request. 
Now I, in turn, give him to the LORD;
as long as he lives, he shall be d
edicated to the LORD.”
She left Samuel there.

Gospel Luke 1:46-56
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/1?46)

Mary said:
“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
 my spirit rejoices in God my savior.
 for he has looked upon his lowly servant.
 From this day all generations will call me blessed:
 the Almighty has done great things for me,
 and holy is his Name.
 He has mercy on those who fear him
 in every generation.
 He has shown the strength of his arm,
 and has scattered the proud in their conceit.
 He has cast down the mighty from their thrones
 and has lifted up the lowly.
 He has filled the hungry with good things,
 and the rich he has sent away empty.
 He has come to the help of his servant Israel
 for he remembered his promise of mercy,
 the promise he made to our fathers,
 to Abraham and his children for ever.”
Mary remained with Elizabeth about three months
and then returned to her home.

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.

Reading 1 Song of Songs 2:8-14
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/songofsongs/2?8)

Hark! my lover–here he comes
springing across the mountains,
leaping across the hills.
My lover is like a gazelle
or a young stag.
Here he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
peering through the lattices.
My lover speaks; he says to me,
“Arise, my beloved, my dove, my beautiful one,
and come!
“For see, the winter is past,
the rains are over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of pruning the vines has come,
and the song of the dove is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth its figs,
and the vines, in bloom, give forth fragrance.
Arise, my beloved, my beautiful one,
and come!
“O my dove in the clefts of the rock,
in the secret recesses of the cliff,
Let me see you,
let me hear your voice,
For your voice is sweet,
and you are lovely.”

Gospel Luke 1:39-45
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/1?39)

Mary set out in those days
and traveled to the hill country in haste
to a town of Judah,
where she entered the house of Zechariah
and greeted Elizabeth. 
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
the infant leaped in her womb,
and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit,
cried out in a loud voice and said,
“Most blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 
And how does this happen to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 
For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears,
the infant in my womb leaped for joy. 
Blessed are you who believed
that what was spoken to you by the Lord
would be fulfilled.”

Thank You for all Your blessings. I see Your hand at work each day. Such a blessing to know You walk with me and mine. Blessing and protecting us. Teach and guiding us. Hopefully using us as a light for others.

Reading I Isaiah 7:10-14
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/isaiah/7?10)

The LORD spoke to Ahaz:
Ask for a sign from the Lord, your God;
 let it be deep as the nether world, or high as the sky!
But Ahaz answered,
 “I will not ask! I will not tempt the LORD!” 
Then Isaiah said:
 Listen, O house of David! 
Is it not enough for you to weary men,
 must you also weary my God? 
Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign:
 the virgin shall conceive and
bear a son,
and shall name him Emmanuel.

to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph,
of the house of David,
and the virgin’s name was Mary.
And coming to her, he said,
“Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.”
But she was greatly troubled at what was said
and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
Then the angel said to her,
“Do not be afraid, Mary,
for you have found favor with God.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son,
and you shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High,
and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever,
and of his Kingdom there will be no end.”
But Mary said to the angel,
“How can this be,
since I have no relations with a man?”
And the angel said to her in reply,
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
Therefore the child to be born
will be called holy, the Son of God.
And behold, Elizabeth, your relative,
has also conceived a son in her old age,
and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren;
for nothing will be impossible for God.”
Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.
May it be done to me according to your word.”
Then the angel departed from her.

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
Most holy Lord, I know that You have a perfect plan for my life. I know that You have given me a mission that has not been given to anyone else. Please flood my soul with a holy desire to fully accomplish Your will and to do so with the most fervent commitment and strength. I, too, am a servant of You, O Lord; may it be done to me according to Your will. Mother Mary, pray for us. For I know how easy this sounds in moments like this, when I feel God’s presence, I see His hand at work. Yet I must fight off the busyness and worrisomeness of the world and my own failings. So day by day I fight, practice and prayer to be a better follower of Jesus. And to know and do my Fathers will.
Thank You for continuing to bless me and mine. To protect us. To show and teach us in Your ways.

Hear our prayers.

Apostles (Nicene) 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,
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.

Lords Prayer

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen)

Reading 1 Judges 13:2-7, 24-25A
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/judges/13?2)

There was a certain man from Zorah, of the clan of the Danites,
whose name was Manoah. 
His wife was barren and had borne no children. 
An angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her,
“Though you are barren and have had no children,
yet you will conceive and bear a son. 
Now, then, be careful to take no wine or strong drink
and to eat nothing unclean.
As for the son you will conceive and bear,
no razor shall touch his head,
for this boy is to be consecrated to God from the womb. 
It is he who will begin the deliverance of Israel
from the power of the Philistines.”
The woman went and told her husband,
“A man of God came to me;
he had the appearance of an angel of God, terrible indeed. 
I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name. 
But he said to me,
‘You will be with child and will bear a son. 
So take neither wine nor strong drink, and eat nothing unclean. 
For the boy shall be consecrated to God from the womb,
until the day of his death.’”
The woman bore a son and named him Samson. 
The boy grew up and the LORD bles
sed him;
the Spirit of the LORD stirred him.

Gospel Luke 1:5-25
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/1?5)

In the days of Herod, King of Judea,
there was a priest named Zechariah
of the priestly division of Abijah;
his wife was from the daughters of Aaron,
and her name was Elizabeth. 
Both were righteous in the eyes of God,
observing all the commandments
and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly. 
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren
and both were advanced in years.
Once when he was serving as priest
in his division’s turn before God,
according to the practice of the priestly service,
he was chosen by lot
to enter the sanctuary of the Lord to burn incense. 
Then, when the whole assembly of the people was praying outside
at the hour of the incense offering,
the angel of the Lord appeared to him,
standing at the right of the altar of incense. 
Zechariah was troubled by what he saw, and fear came upon him.
But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah,
because your prayer has been heard. 
Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son,
and you shall name him John. 
And you will have joy and gladness,
and many will rejoice at his birth,
for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. 
He will drink neither wine nor strong drink. 
He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb,
and he will turn many of the children of Israel
to the Lord their God. 
He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah
to turn the hearts of fathers toward children
and the disobedient to the understanding of the righteous,
to prepare a people fit for the Lord.”
Then Zechariah said to the angel,
“How shall I know this? 
For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 
And the angel said to him in reply,
“I am Gabriel, who stand before God.
I was sent to speak to you and to announce to you this good news. 
But now you will be speechless and unable to talk
until the day these things take place,
because you did not believe my words,
which will be fulfilled at their proper time.”
Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zechariah
and were amazed that he stayed so long in the sanctuary. 
But when he came out, he was unable to speak to them,
and they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. 
He was gesturing to them but remained mute.
Then, when his days of ministry were completed, he went home.
After this time his wife Elizabeth conceived,
and she went into seclusion for five months, saying,
“So has the Lord done for me at a time when he has seen fit
to take away my disgrace before others.”

Faith or Doubt?
https://youtu.be/-AesFuC2RVw

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
Lord, I know I lack the depth of perfect faith that I so deeply desire to have. I know that You speak to me day and night, and I fail to listen and obey. As I humble myself before You and confess my weakness of faith, strengthen me to respond more fully each day to all that You say to me.

Help me with my doubt fed by anxiety of the unknown and regret the errors of my past ways. Free me from these thoughts, and place me in the solid rock of a foundation of faith.
Don’t let my doubts lead me to forget all that You have already done for me and mine. I count every blessing. But lead me to grow stronger and more confident in the unknown because You are with me and mine.
Thank You, hear my prayers for blessings and protection. Wisdom and strength.

Reading 1 Isaiah 7:10-14
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/Isaiah/7?10)

The LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying:
Ask for a sign from the LORD, your God;
let it be deep as the netherworld, or high as the sky!
But Ahaz answered,
"I will not ask! I will not tempt the LORD!"
Then Isaiah said:
Listen, O house of David!
Is it not enough for you to weary people,
must you also weary my God?
Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign:
the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son,
and shall name him Emmanuel.

Reading 2 Romans 1:1-7
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/Romans/1?1)

Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus,
called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God,
which he promised previously through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
the gospel about his Son, descended from David according to the flesh,
but established as Son of God in power
according to the Spirit of holiness
through resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Through him we have received the grace of apostleship,
to bring about the obedience of faith,
for the sake of his name, among all the Gentiles,
among whom are you also, who are called to belong to Jesus Christ;
to all the beloved of God in Rome, called to be holy.
Grace to you and peace fro
m God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Gospel Matthew 1:18-24
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/1?18)

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.
When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,
but before they lived together,
she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.
Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,
yet unwilling to expose her to shame,
decided to divorce her quietly.
Such was his intention when, behold,
the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
"Joseph, son of David,
do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.
For it is through the Holy Spirit
that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins."
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,
which means "God is with us."
When Joseph awoke,
he did as the angel of the Lord had co
mmanded him
and took his wife into his home.

The prophecy of Isaiah reveals the nature of the Messiah in today’s readings. While some contest the meaning of Isaiah’s words, the sign that a virgin shall conceive and bear a son is rooted in Jewish teaching. This emphasizes the greatness of God’s plan for mankind.

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
Most glorious Saint Joseph, you were a man of true righteousness and integrity. You were open to the inspired gift of faith and chose to walk by that faith as you faced the greatest of mysteries. Please pray for me and mine that we may learn from you and be inspired to imitate the life that you lived. Saint Joseph, pray for me and mine. That while we may not always be able to forget, we learn to forgive. Placing enough distance between our sins and the hurt and pain caused by them. Removing if not fading the scars, or learning to appreciate the scars for the lessons to be learned.

St. Joseph you are our example of fatherhood, help us learn to imitate you, and follow Jesus.
Thank You for every blessing. For protecting us from evil and illness. Continue to teach us, and guide us home to You.

(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/genesis/49?2)

Jacob called his sons and said to them:
 “Assemble and listen, sons of Jacob,
 listen to Israel, your father.
“You, Judah, shall your brothers praise
 –your hand on the neck of your enemies;
 the sons of your father shall bow down to you.
 Judah, like a lion’s whelp,
 you have grown up on prey, my son.
 He crouches like a lion recumbent,
 the king of beasts–who would dare rouse him?
 The scepter shall never depart from Judah,
 or the mace from between his legs,
 While tribute is brought to him,
and he receives the people’s homage.”

Gospel Matthew 1:1-17
(https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/1?1)

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ,
the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Abraham became the father of Isaac,
Isaac the father of Jacob,
Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. 
Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah,
whose mother was Tamar. 
Perez became the father of Hezron,
Hezron the father of Ram,
Ram the father of Amminadab. 
Amminadab became the father of Nahshon,
Nahshon the father of Salmon,
Salmon the father of Boaz,
whose mother was Rahab. 
Boaz became the father of Obed,
whose mother was Ruth. 
Obed became the father of Jesse,
Jesse the father of David the king.
David became the father of Solomon,
whose mother had been the wife of Uriah. 
Solomon became the father of Rehoboam,
Rehoboam the father of Abijah,
Abijah the father of Asaph. 
Asaph became the father of Jehoshaphat,
Jehoshaphat the father of Joram,
Joram the father of Uzziah. 
Uzziah became the father of Jotham,
Jotham the father of Ahaz,
Ahaz the father of Hezekiah. 
Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh,
Manasseh the father of Amos,
Amos the father of Josiah.
Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers
at the time of the Babylonian exile.
After the Babylonian exile,
Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel,
Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Zerubbabel the father of Abiud. 
Abiud became the father of Eliakim,
Eliakim the father of Azor,
Azor the father of Zadok. 
Zadok became the father of Achim,
Achim the father of Eliud,
Eliud the father of Eleazar. 
Eleazar became the father of Matthan,
Matthan the father of Jacob,
Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. 
Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ.
Thus the total number of generations
from Abraham to David
is fourteen generations;
from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen generations;
from the Babylonia
n exile to the Christ,
fourteen generations.

Formed: Judah and the Messiah

Today’s readings teach a lesson on the power of words. The intricacy of the Hebrew language reveals Christ’s identity in Jacob’s blessing over his son Judah. Through this, Israel receives a hint of who the messianic king is.

My Catholic Life!
An Amazing Reality
https://youtu.be/AFxuDoiPEyc

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
My precious Lord, I thank you for coming to dwell among us, and I thank you for this Advent season in which I am able to prayerfully ponder all that You have done for me and mine. Please make this last week before Christmas a time of true preparation in which we prayerfully ponder the amazing reality of Your Incarnation. May this last week of preparation not be wasted but, rather, used as a foundation for a glorious and prayerful celebration of the holy gift of Christmas. And change the way we prepare and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Help us reflect, upon the true reason for Advent and Christmas. This final week leading up to Christmas can oftentimes become filled with busyness and other forms of preparation, such as shopping, cooking, traveling, decorating, etc. Though all of these other preparations have a place, help us not to neglect the most important preparation—the spiritual preparation of your soul. With each gift we give, let us think about the gift we have been given. With each Christmas song we hear, help us thing of Your Word, with each Scripture reading, help us grow in wisdom and knowledge of our Savor’s story. Thinking about the amazing reality that we are about to celebrate.

Thank You.

Hear my prayers for me and mine. Praying for an awareness of Your presence. Continued blessings. Protection from evil and illness. And openness to learning all of Your mysteries.
Remembering all of mine that have passed on to You. Mom, Dub, Dad, Abuelita and Abuelito, Titi Evelyn and Fernando, Nana and Coco, Titi Lisa and Manuel, Louie, David and David, Peggy, and all those not listed but remembered.

Jesus I trust in You!
Not my will, but Yours Lord God.
Jesus, Mary, I love You, save souls.
In Jesus name I pray.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Apostles (Nicene) 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,
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.

Lords Prayer

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

O my Jesus

O my Jesus, have mercy on us. Forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Take all souls into heaven, especially, those most in need of thy mercy.
Amen.

Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen)

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
Amen.

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, make me holy. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, fill me with love. Water from Christ’s side, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. Good Jesus, hear me. Within your wounds, hide me. Never let me be parted from you. From the evil enemy, protect me. At the hour of my death, call me. And tell me to come to you. That with your saints I may praise you. Through all eternity.
Amen.

Angelus

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

Now and at the hour of our death. Amen

Amen.
