Welcome
«INTRODUCTION»Good morning, my sisters and brothers. Welcome to Saint Mary Magdalen National Catholic Parish.
Today we celebrate the First Sunday of Advent.
Today’s readings retell a familair theme: “Christ Brings us Hope.”
Our Celebrant for Mass this morning is Bishop Jim.
As we begin, let us use the next hour to share with God in worship. Please take a moment and silence your electronic devices and refrain from conversations during Mass.
Now let us focus our attention on the presence of God among us with our Gathering Song.

Introduction
A person of faith is a person of hope. As people of faith we cannot live without dreams, without ideals that inspire us and even make us impatient at times. The message of this First Sunday of Advent tells us about God’s dream regarding our world. It is meant to become a world of peace and justice. This will happen when the light of Christ will shine in it. God will write this future only with the help of people. Are we awake and ready to make Christ’s light and peace come into this world and change today’s world into God’s world of tomorrow?

First
Reading
Isaiah 2: 1-5
Reading
Isaiah 2: 1-5
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
This is what Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
In the last days, the mountain of
Yahweh’s Temple will be established
as the most important mountain
and raised above all other hills.
All nations will stream toward it;
many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let us climb Yahweh’s
mountain, to the temple of the
God of Jacob, that we may be
instructed in Yahweh’s ways,
and walk in Yahweh’s paths.”
Instruction will be given from Zion,
and the word of Yahweh from
Jerusalem.
Yahweh will judge between the
nations, and render decisions for
many countries.
They will beat their swords into
plowshares and their spears into
pruning hooks; one nation will not
raise the sword against another,
nor will they train for war again.
O house of Leah, Rachel, and Jacob,
come, let us walk in the light of
Yahweh!
The Word of God.
Thanks be to God!

Matthew 24: 37-44
And also with you.
A reading from the holy gospel according to Matthew.
Glory to you, O Lord.
Jesus said to the disciples, “The coming of the Promised One will be just like Noah’s time. In the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, having relationships and getting married, right up to the day Noah entered the ark. They were totally unconcerned until the flood came and destroyed them.
So it will be at the coming of the Promised One. Two people will be out in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two people will be grinding meal; one will be taken and one will be left. Therefore be vigilant! For you do not know the day your Savior is coming.
“Be sure of this: if the owner of the house had known when the thief was coming, the owner would keep a watchful eye and not allow the house to be broken into. You must be prepared in the same way. The Promised One is coming at the time you least expect.”
The Good News of Salvation!
Glory and praise to our Savior Jesus Christ!

Let us give praise and thanks to the Father, for he has given us hope and life by the coming of his Son Jesus. May this Eucharist give us the strength and love to bring Christ more into the world of today.
Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God.
It is right to give God thanks and praise.
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, holy, almighty, and eternal God, through Jesus Christ our Savior.
When first he came among us in the lowliness of human flesh, he fulfilled the plan you formed long ago and opened for us the way to salvation. Now, hoping that the salvation promised us will be ours, we watch for the day when Christ will come again in majesty and glory.
And so, with angels and archangels, with all the heavenly host, we proclaim your glory and join their unending chorus of praise:
Holy - Mass of a Joyful Heart
Lord, you are holy indeed, you are the fountain of all holiness.
Celebrant with hands outstreched over the bread and wine, says:
Send down your Spirit upon these gifts to make them holy, that they may become for us and in us
Celebrant joins hands, making the sign of the cross over both the bread and the cup, saying:
the body ✠ and blood of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Celebrant joins hands. In the text that follows, the words of Jesus should be spoken clearly and distrinctly, as their meaning demands.
Before he was given up to death, a death he freely accepted,
Take the bread and , raise is a little above the altar, continue
he took the bread and gave you thanks; he broke the bread and gave it to them, saying:Take this, all of you, and eat it:
this is my Body
which will be given up for you.
Celebrant shows the consecrated bread to the people, replaces it on the plate, and genuflects in adoration. Then continues
When supper was ended, Jesus took the cup; again he gave you thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said:Take this all of you and drink from it.
This is the cup of my blood.
The blood of the new and
everlasting covenant.
Shed for you and for all,
so that sins may be forgiven.
Do this in memory of me.
Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.
Christ has died;
Christ is risen;
Christ will come again
Remembering therefore his death and resurrection, we offer you, almighty God, this life-giving bread, this saving cup. We thank you for making us worthy to stand in your presence and serve you.
We pray that all of us who share in the body and blood of Christ may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
Lord, remember your Church throughout the world — perfect us in love together with the entire world and all who minister to your people.
Remember our brothers and sisters who have gone to their rest in the sure hope of rising again; bring them and all who have died in your mercy into the light of your presence.
Have mercy on us all: as you have made us worthy to share eternal life, with Mary, the Mother of God, Joseph, her husband; Mary Magdalen and all the apostles; the blessed martyrs; with Francis and Clare and all the saints, who have found favour with you throughout the ages; in union with them may we praise you and give you glory
Celebrant joins hands
through your Son, Jesus Christ.
Through Christ,
with Christ
in Christ
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor are yours,
almighty God, now and forever.
