christmas preface

VERE dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi semper, et ubíque grátias agere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Quia per incarnáti Verbi mystérium, nova mentis nostræ óculis lux tuæ claritátis infúlsit: ut dum visibíliter Deum cognóscimus, per hunc in invisibílium amórem rapíamur. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus, cumque omni milítia cæléstis exércitus, hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus sine fine dicéntes:

It is truly meet and just, right and availing unto salvation that we should at all times and in all places give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty and everlasting God. Because by the mystery of the Word made flesh the light of Thy glory hath shone anew upon the eyes of our mind: that while we acknowledge Him to be God seen by men, we may be drawn by Him to the love of things unseen. And therefore with angels and archangels, with thrones and dominions, and with all the heavenly hosts,

we sing a hymn to Thy glory, saying without ceasing:

communion Matthew 2. 20 TOLLE Puerum, et Matrem ejus, et vade in terram Israel: defuncti sunt enim, qui quaerebant animam Pueri.

Take the Child and His Mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead who sought the life of the Child.

postcommunion

PER hujus Domine, operationem mysterii, et vitia nostra purgentur, et justa desideria compleantur. Per Dominum nostrum.

By the working of this Mystery, O Lord, may our vices be removed, and our just desires fulfilled. Through our Lord.

Gaitley masterfully summarizes the teach-ings of St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and St. John Paul II about the importance of consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This book is easy to understand and simple enough to put into practice. More specifically, he weaves their thought into a user-friendly, do-it-yourself retreat that will bless even the busiest of people. This book and others on Marian consecration can be borrowed from our parish library, which is located on the stage in Fr. Kozina Hall. We are open on the 2nd Sunday of each month, after the morning Masses.

Declaration of the truths relating to some of the most common errors in the life of the Church of our time The Sacraments 36. By Divine law the confessor may not violate the seal of the sacrament of Penance for any reason what-soever; no ecclesiastical authority has the power to dispense him from the seal of the sacrament and the civil power is wholly incompetent to oblige him to do so (see Code of Canon Law 1983, can. 1388 § 1; Cat-echism of the Catholic Church, 1467). 37. By virtue of the will of Christ and the unchangea-ble Tradition of the Church, the sacrament of the Ho-ly Eucharist may not be given to those who are in a public state of objectively grave sin, and sacramental absolution may not be given to those who express their unwillingness to conform to Divine law, even if their unwillingness pertains only to a single grave matter (see Council of Trent, sess. 14, c. 4; Pope John Paul II, Message to the Major Penitentiary Cardinal William W. Baum, on March 22, 1996). 38. According to the constant Tradition of the Church, the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist may not be given to those who deny any truth of the Catholic faith by formally professing their adherence to a he-retical or to an officially schismatic Christian com-munity (see Code of Canon Law 1983, can. 915; 1364). 39. The law by which priests are bound to observe perfect continence in celibacy stems from the exam-ple of Jesus Christ and belongs to immemorial and apostolic tradition according to the constant witness of the Fathers of the Church and of the Roman Pon-tiffs. For this reason, this law should not be abolished in the Roman Church through the innovation of an optional priestly celibacy, either at the regional or the universal level. The perennial valid witness of the Church states that the law of priestly continence “does not command new precepts; these precepts should be observed, because they have been neglect-ed on the part of some through ignorance and sloth. These precepts, nevertheless, go back to the apostles and were established by the Fathers, as it is written, ‘Stand firm, then, brothers and keep the traditions that we taught you, whether by word of mouth or by letter’ (2 Thess. 2:15).

(By Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, Cardinal Janis Pujats, Archbishop Tomash Peta, Archbishop Jan Pawel Lenga, Archbishop Athanasius Schneider)

v/: To gaze in delight upon the Lord’s beauty and to be sheltered in His holy temple.

Offertory: Personent Hodie

Recessional: 325 Hark the Herald Organ Postlude: Vari on a Noel, Dupre

From a letter by Saint Athanasius, bishop The Word took our nature from Mary The Word took to himself the sons of Abra-ham, says the Apostle, and so had to be like his broth-ers in all things. He had then to take a body like ours. This explains the fact of Mary’s presence: she is to provide him with a body of his own, to be offered for our sake. Scripture records her giving birth, and says: She wrapped him in swaddling clothes. Her breasts, which fed him, were called blessed. Sacrifice was of-fered because the child was her firstborn. Gabriel used careful and prudent language when he announced his birth. He did not speak of “what will be born in you” to avoid the impression that a body would be intro-duced into her womb from outside; he spoke of “what will be born from you,” so that we might know by faith that her child originated within her and from her. By taking our nature and offering it in sacri-fice, the Word was to destroy it completely and then invest it with his own nature, and so prompt the Apos-tle to say: This corruptible body must put on incorrup-tion; this mortal body must put on immortality. This was not done in outward show only, as some have imagined. This is not so. Our Saviour truly became man, and from this has followed the salvation of man as a whole. Our salvation is in no way ficti-tious, nor does it apply only to the body. The salvation of the whole man, that is, of soul and body, has really been achieved in the Word himself. What was born of Mary was therefore human by nature, in accordance with the inspired Scriptures, and the body of the Lord was a true body: It was a true body because it was the same as ours. Mary, you see, is our sister, for we are all born from Adam. The words of St John, the Word was made flesh, bear the same meaning, as we may see from a similar turn of phrase in St Paul: Christ was made a curse for our sake. Man’s body has acquired some-thing great through its communion and union with the Word. From being mortal it has been made immortal; though it was a living body it has become a spiritual one; though it was made from the earth it has passed through the gates of heaven. Even when the Word takes a body from Mary, the Trinity remains a Trinity, with neither increase nor decrease. It is for ever perfect. In the Trinity we acknowledge one Godhead, and thus one God, the Fa-ther of the Word, is proclaimed in the Church.

INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST DIOCESAN APPROVED TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS APOSTOLATE

FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MOTU PROPRIO, SUMMORUM PONTIFICUM IN THE DIOCESE OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

introit Wisdom 18. 14-15

DUM medium silentium tenerent omnia, et nox in suo cursu medium iter haberet, omnipotens sermo tuus, Domine, de coelis a regalibus sedibus venit. Ps. 92. 1. Dominus regnavit, decorem indutus est: indutus est Domi-nus fortitudinem, et praecinxit se. V. Glória Patri.

While all things were in quiet silence, and the night was in the midst of her course, Thine almighty Word, O Lord, leaped down from heaven from Thy royal throne. Ps. The Lord hath reigned, He is clothed with beauty:

the Lord is clothed with strength, and hath girded Himself. V. Glory be to the Father.

collect OMNIPOTENS sempiterne Deus, dirige actus nostros in beneplacito tuo: ut in nomine dilecti Filii tui mereamur bonis operibus abundare: Qui te-cum vivit et regnat.

O almighty and everlasting God, direct our actions according to Thy good pleasure; that in the Name of Thy beloved Son we may deserve to abound in good works: Who with Thee liveth and reigneth.

epistle Gal. 4. 1-7 FRATRES: Quanto tempore heres parvulus est, nihil differt a servo, cum sit dominus omnium: sed sub tutoribus et actoribus est usque ad praefini-tum tempus a patre: ita et nos cum essemus parvuli, sub elementis mundi eramus servientes. At ubi venit plenitudo temporis, misit Deus Filium suum, factum ex muliere, factum sub lege, ut eos, qui sub lege erant, redi-meret, ut adoptionem filiorum reciperemus. Quoniam autem estis filii, misit Deus Spiritum Filii sui in corda vestra, clamantem: Abba, Pater. Itaque jam non est servus, sed filius: quod si filius, et heres per Deum.

Brethren, as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be Lord of all: but is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father: so we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world. But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, that He might redeem them who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father. Therefore now he is not a servant, but a son; and if a son, an heir also through God.

gradual Psalm 44. 3, 2

SPECIOSUS forma prae filiis hominum: diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis. V. Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum, dico ego opera mea regi: lingua mea calamus scribae, velociter scribentis.

Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in Thy lips. V. My heart hath uttered a good word, I speak my words to the king: my tongue is the pen of a scrivener, that writeth swiftly.

alleluia

ALLELÚIA, allelúia. V. Dóminus regnávit, decórem índuit: índuit Dó-minus fortitúdinem, et præcínxit se virtúte. Allelúia.

gospel Luke. 2. 33, 40 IN illo tempore: erat Joseph et Maria mater Jesu, mirantes super his quae dicebatur de illo. Et benedixit illis Simeon, et dixit a Mariam matrem ejus: Ecce positus est hic in ruinam, et in resurrectionem multorum in Israel: et in signum cui contradicetur: et tuam ipsius animam pertransibit gladius, ut revelentur ex multis cordibus cogitationis. Et erat Anna prophetissa, filia Phanuel, de tribu Aser: haec processerat in diebus multis, et vixerat cum viro suo annis septem a virginitate sua. Et haec vidua usque ad annos octo-ginta quatuor: quae non discedebat de templo, de jejuniis et obsecrationi-bus serviens nocte ac die. Et haec, ipsa hora superveniens, confitebatur Domino, et loquebatur de illo omnibus, qui exspectabant redemptionem Israel. Et ut perfecerunt omnia secundum legem Domini, reversi sunt in Galilaeam in civitatem suam Na-zareth. Puer autem crescebat, et conforta-bur, plenus sapientia: et gracia Dei erat in illo.

At that time Joseph and Mary the mother of Jesus were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning Him. And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His Mother: Behold, this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel: and for a sign which shall be contradict-ed: and thine own soul a sword shall pierce, that out of many hearts thoughts may be revealed. And there was one Anna a pro-phetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was far advanced in years, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity. And she was a widow until fourscore and four years: who de-parted not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day. Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord: and spoke of Him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel. And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city, Nazareth. And the Child grew and waxed strong, full of wisdom: and the grace of God was in Him

offertory Psalm 92. 12 DEUS firmávit orbem terræ, qui non commovébitur: paráta sedes tua, De-us, ex tunc; a sæculo tu es.

God hath established the world, which shall not be moved: Thy throne, O God, is pre-pared from of old; Thou art from everlasting.

secret CONCEDE, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus: ut oculis tuae majestatis mu-nus oblatum, et gratiam nobis piae devotionis obtineat, et effectum beatae perennitatis acquirat. Per Dominum nostrum.

Grant, we beseech Thee, almighty God, that the offering made in the sight of Thy Majesty may obtain for us the grace of loving devotion, and the reward of a blessed eternity. Through our Lord.
