I classis
Violaceus
Introitus: Is. 30. 30; Ps. 79. 2 Pópulus Sion, ecce Dóminus véniet ad salvándas gentes: et audítam fáciet Dóminus glóriam vocis suæ in lætítia cordis vestri. Ps. Qui regis Israël, inténde: qui dedúcis, velut ovem, Joseph. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen

Oratio: Excita, Dómine, corda nostra ad præparándas Unigéniti tui vias: ut per ejus advéntum purificátis tibi méntibus servíre mereámur. Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Epistola: Rom. 15, 4-13. Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Romános.
Fratres: Quæcúmque scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrínam scripta sunt: ut per patiéntiam, et consolatiónem Scripturárum, spem habeámus. Deus autem patiéntiæ et solátii, det vobis idípsum sápere in altérutrum secúndum Jesum Christum: ut unánimes, uno ore honorificétis Deum, et Patrem Dómini nostri Jesu Christi. Propter quod suscípite ínvicem, sicut et Christus suscépit vos in honórem Dei. Dico enim Christum Jesum minístrum fuísse circumcisiónis propter veritátem Dei, ad confirmándas promissiónes patrum: gentes autem super misericórdia honoráre Deum, sicut scriptum est: Proptérea confitébor tibi in géntibus Dómine, et nómini tuo cantábo. Et íterum dicit: Lætámini gentes cum plebe ejus. Et íterum: Laudáte omnes gentes Dóminum: et magnificáte eum omnes pópuli. Et rursus Isaías ait: Erit radix Jesse, et qui exsúrget régere gentes, in eum gentes sperábunt. Deus autem spei répleat vos omni gáudio, et pace in crédendo: ut abundétis in spe, et virtúte Spíritus Sancti.

Graduale: Ps. 49. 2-3, 5 Ex Sion spécies decóris ejus: Deus maniféste véniet. Congregáte illi sanctos ejus, qui ordinavérunt testaméntum ejus super sacrifícia.

Alleluia: Ps. 121.1 Allelúia, allelúia. Lætátus sum in his, quæ dicta sunt mihi: in domum Dómini íbimus. Allelúia.

Evangelium: Matt. 11. 2-10 Sequéntia sancti Evangélii secundum Matthæum
In illo témpore: Cum audísset Joánnes in vínculis ópera Christi, mittens duos de discípulis suis, ait illi: Tu es, qui ventúrus es, an álium exspectámus? Et respóndens Jesus ait illis: Eúntes renuntiáte Joánni quæ audístis et vidístis. Cæci vident, claudi ámbulant, leprósi mundántur, surdi áudiunt, mórtui resúrgunt, páuperes evangelizántur: et beátus est, qui non fúerit scandalizátus in me. Illis autem abeúntibus, cæpit Jesus dícere ad turbas de Joánne: Quid exístis in desértum vidére? arúndinem vento agitátam? Sed quid exístis vidére? hóminem móllibus vestítum? Ecce qui móllibus vestiúntur, in dómibus regum sunt. Sed quid exístis vidére? prophétam? Etiam dico vobis et plus quam prophétam. Hic est enim, de quo scriptum est: Ecce ego mitto ángelum meum ante fáciem tuam, qui preparábit viam tuam ante te.

Offertorium: Ps. 84. 7-8 Deus, tu convérsus vivificábis nos, et plebs tua lætábitur in te: osténde nobis Dómine misericórdiam tuam, et salutáre tuum da nobis.

Secreta Placáre, quæsumus, Dómine, humilitátis nostræ précibus et hóstiis: et ubi nulla súppetunt suffrágia meritórum, tuis nobis succúrre præsídiis. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Communio: Bar. 5. 5; 4. 36 Jerúsalem, surge, et sta in excélso: et vide jucunditátem, quæ véniet tibi a Deo tuo.

Postcommunio Repléti cibo spirituális alimóniæ, súpplices te Dómine, deprecámur: ut hujus participatióne mystérii, dóceas nos terréna despícere, et amáre cæléstia. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. Amen.



Second Sunday of Advent
Station at the Church of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem
First class
Violet

Introit: Ps. 30. 30; 79. 2 People of Sion, behold the Lord shall come to save the nations; and the Lord shall make the glory of His voice to be heard in the joy of your heart. Ps. Give ear, O Thou that rulest Israël: Thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. 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.

Collect Stir up, O Lord, our hearts to make ready the ways of Thine only-begotten Son; and with minds undefiled to pay to Thee, through His coming, the homage of our service. Who with Thee liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

Epistle: Rom. 15. 4-13 A reading from the Epistle of the Blessed Apostle Paul to the Romans.
Brethren, what things soever were written, were written for our learning; that through patience and the comfort of the Scriptures, we might have hope. Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ; that with one mind, and with one mouth, you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore receive one another; as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God. For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers. But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: therefore will I confess to Thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing to Thy name. And again He saith: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with His people. And again: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and magnify Him, all ye people. And again, Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and He that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in Him the Gentiles shall hope. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing; that you may abound in hope, and in the power of the Holy Ghost.
Gradual: Ps. 49. 2-3, 5 Out of Sion the loveliness of His beauty: God shall come manifestly. Gather ye together His Saints to Him; who have set His covenant before sacrifices.

Alleluia: Ps. 121. 1 Alleluia, alleluia. I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: we shall go into the house of the Lord. Alleluia.

Gospel: Matthew 11. 2-10 A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew
At that time when John had heard in prison the works of Christ: sending two of his disciples, he said to Him: Art Thou He that art to come or do we look for another? And Jesus making answer, said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen. The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor have the gospel preached to them; and blessed is he that shall not be scandalized in Me. And when they went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What went you out into the desert to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went you out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments are in the houses of kings. But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea I tell you, and more than a prophet. For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send My Angel before Thy face, who shall prepare Thy way before Thee.

Offertory: Ps. 84. 7-8 O God, turning Thou wilt bring us life; and Thy people shall rejoice in Thee: show us, O Lord, Thy mercy, and grant us Thy salvation.

Secret Be appeased, we beseech Thee, O Lord, by our prayers and by the Sacred Victim we humbly offer: and since no merits of our own can avail us, do Thou of Thy Goodness come to our succour. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

Communion: Bar. 5.5; 4. 36 Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand on high: and behold the joy that cometh to thee from thy God.

Postcommunion Filled, O Lord, with the Divine Food of souls, we humbly beseech to teach us who have partaken of these Mysteries, how to despise the things which are on earth and those only to value which are from above. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
