In the Bleak Midwinter Christina Rossetti—Harold Darke

Good Christian Friends, Rejoice 14th C. German

Ding Dong! Merrily on High George Woodward—French tune

Refrain: Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!* *Glory, Hosanna in the highest!

Of the Father’s Love Begotten A. Prudentius, 4th C., tr. by John Neale—chant Mode V

Good Christian friends, rejoice With heart and soul and voice; O give heed to what we say: Jesus Christ is born today! Ox and ass before him bow, And he is in the manger now. Christ is born today!

Good Christian friends, rejoice With heart and soul and voice; Now you hear of endless bliss: Jesus Christ was born for this! He has opened heaven’s door, And we are blest forevermore. Christ was born for this!

Good Christian friends, rejoice With heart and soul and voice; Now you need not fear the grave Jesus Christ was born to save! Calls you one and calls you all To gain his everlasting hall. Christ was born to save!

1. Of the Father’s love begotten Ere the worlds began to be, He is Alpha and Omega, He the source, the ending he Of the things that are, that have been, And that future years shall see Saeculorum saeculis!*

2. O that birth forever blessed, When the Virgin, full of grace, Overshadowed by the Spirit, Bore the Savior of our race; And the babe, the world’s redeemer, First revealed his sacred face, Saeculorum saeculis!*

3. This is he whom seers and sages Sang of old with one accord, Whom the voices of the prophets Promised in their faithful word;

Now he shines, the long-expected; Let creation praise its Lord Saeculorum saeculis!*

4. Let the heights of heav’n adore him; Angel hosts, his praises sing; Pow’rs, dominions, bow before him And extol our God and King; Let no tongue on earth be silent, Ev’ry voice in concert ring Saeculorum saeculis!*

5. Christ, to you, with God the Father, And the Spirit, One in Three, Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving An unwearied praises be: Honor, glory, and dominion, And eternal victory Saeculorum saeculis!*

*For ever and ever!

Awake! Awake, and Greet the New Morn (morning Masses only)

Prelude Music—Midnight Mass Led by David Bond, the Holy Redeemer Cantors, and our Vocal Trio

Of the Father’s Love Begotten Verses 1, 2, and 3 — see previous page Gaudete Christus est natus traditional 16th C., arr. Craig Kingsbury

Gaudete, Gaudete, Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine. Gaudete.* *Rejoice, rejoice, Christ is born of the Virgin Mary. Rejoice.

Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella traditional French; arr. By Alice Parker and Robert Shaw Ave Maria Megan Digeorgio Good Christian Friends, Rejoice — see previous page In the Bleak Midwinter Christina Rossetti—Harold Darke Cantique de Noël Placide Cappeau, tr. by J.S. Dwight—Adolphe Adam Of the Father’s Love Begotten Verses 1, 4, and 5 — see previous page

Awake! Awake, and great the new morn, For angels herald its dawning, Sing out your joy, for now he is born, Behold the Child of our longing! Come as a baby weak and poor, To bring all hearts together, He opens wide the heav’nly door And lives now inside us forever.

To us, to all in sorrow and fear, Emmanuel comes a-singing; His humble song is quiet and near, Yet fills the earth with its ringing, Music to heal the broken soul And hymns of lovingkindness, The thunder of his anthems roll To shatter all hatred and blindness.

In darkest night his coming shall be, When all the world is despairing, As morning light so quiet and free, So warm and gentle and caring. Then shall the mute break forth in song, The lame shall leap in wonder, The weak be raised above the strong, And weapons be broken asunder.

Rejoice, rejoice, take heart in the night, Though dark the winter and cheerless, The rising sun shall crown you with light; Be strong and loving and fearless. Love be our song and love our prayer And love our endless story. May God fill ev’ry day we share And bring us at last into glory.

P1368138690 R681 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, (striking the breast) 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.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

3:00pm, 5:00pm, and 7:30pm Masses Isaiah 62:1-5

For Zion’s sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet, until her vindication shines forth like the dawn and her victory like a burning torch. Nations shall behold your vindication, and all the kings your glory; you shall be called by a new name pronounced by the mouth of the LORD. You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem held by your God. No more shall people call you “Forsaken,” or your land “Desolate,” but you shall be called “My Delight,” and your land “Espoused.” For the LORD delights in you and makes your land his spouse. As a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice in you.

Midnight Mass Isaiah 9:1-6

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as people make merry when dividing spoils. For the yoke that bur-dened them, the pole on their shoulder, and the rod of their taskmaster you have smashed, as on the day of Midian. For every boot that tramped in battle, every cloak rolled in blood, will be burned as fuel for flames. For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace. His dominion is vast and forever peaceful, from David’s throne, and over his kingdom, which he confirms and sustains by judgment and justice, both now and forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this!

8:00am and 10:00am Masses Isaiah 52:7-10

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings glad tidings, announcing peace, bearing good news, announcing salvation, and saying to Zion, “Your God is King!” Hark! Your sentinels raise a cry, together they shout for joy, for they see directly, before their eyes, the LORD restoring Zion. Break out together in song, O ruins of Jerusalem! For the LORD comforts his people, he redeems Jerusalem. The LORD has bared his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will behold the salvation of our God.

3:00pm, 5:00pm, and 7:30pm Masses Acts 13:16-17, 22-25

When Paul reached Antioch in Pisidia and entered the synagogue, he stood up, motioned with his hand, and said, “Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen. The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt. With uplifted arm he led them out of it. Then he removed Saul and raised up David as king; of him he testified, ‘I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.’ From this man’s descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus. John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel; and as John was completing his course, he would say, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.’”

Midnight Mass Titus 2:11-14

Beloved: The grace of God has appeared, saving all and training us to reject godless ways and worldly desires and to live temperately, justly, and devoutly in this age, as we await the blessed hope, the appearance of the glory of our great God and savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to deliver us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people as his own, eager to do what is good.

8:00am and 10:00am Masses Hebrews 1:1-6

Brothers and sisters: In times past, God spoke in partial and various ways to our ancestors through the prophets; in these last days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he made heir of all things and through whom he created the universe, who is the refulgence of his glory, the very imprint of his being, and who sustains all things by his mighty word. When he had accomplished purification from sins, he took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high, as far superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say: You are my son; this day I have begotten you? Or again: I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me? And again, when he leads the firstborn into the world, he says: Let all the angels of God worship him.

G/7@10 A::092986/3

3:00, 5:00, 7:30 — Tomorrow, the wickedness of the earth will be destroyed: the Savior of the world will reign over us.

Midnight — I proclaim to you good news of great joy: Today a Savior is born for us, Christ the Lord.

8:00, 10:00 — A holy day has dawned upon us. Come, you nations, and adore the Lord. For today a great light has come upon the earth.

G/7@10

3:00pm, 5:00pm, and 7:30pm Masses Matthew 1:18-25 The genealogy of Jesus Christ, (Matthew 1:1-17; not included here) may be read.

...

Now 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 commanded him and took his wife into his home. He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.

Midnight Mass Luke 2:1-14

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

8:00am and 10:00am Masses John 1:1-18

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him.

But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by man’s (next page)

(cont’d.) decision but of God. And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth. John testified to him and cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.’” From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace, because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father’s side, has revealed him.

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,

(bow or kneel) 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.

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you.

Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
