Mass for Ember Friday in Advent
Missa "Prope es Tu"
Violet Vestments
Today is Ember Friday in Advent. Total Fast and Abstinence is required on all Ember Fridays. This enables us to prepare better for the coming of the Lord one week from tonight. The Collecta is at St. Mark's. Station at the Church of the Twelve Holy Apostles
Major Feria, not Privileged. The collecta, or place of assembly, whence the stational procession used of this day to start on its way to the Apostoleion, must have been in the
ancient titular Church of St. Mark in Pallacinis, which is quite near by.
The station preceding the solemn ordinations in Rome is always at the Church
of the Twelve Holy Apostles, partly in homage to the holy Apostles whose
mission to evangelize the world is to be carried on by the Levites of
tomorrow, and partly on account of the great celebrity to which this
venerable basilica attained under Julius I and John III.
The Mass is once again an impassioned longing of the soul for the coming
Emmanuel. Isaias speaks in the Epistle, and describes for us in glowing
colors the future emancipator of Israel. The Gospel narrates the visitation
when Mary begins her works as the dispenser of grace. She visits the house
of Elizabeth and Jesus sanctifies John in his mother's womb. Thus is John
the first among the saints to owe all his gifts of grace to Mary, and there,
under the humble roof of Zacharias, is sung for the first time that sublime
canticle, the Magnificat, which shall form the dedication hymn of the first
church of Our Lady, and shall be the daily prayer of the church of the
Church through all the ages.
We want to thank the Friends of Our Lady of Fatima for expediting these resources of the Propers. Sources: Saint Andrew Daily Missal and the Marian Missal , 1945

Prope es Tu, Dómine, et omnes viæ tuæ véritas: inítio cognóvi de
testimóniis, quia in ætérnum tu es. (Ps. 118: 1) Beáti Immaculáti in via: qui ámbulant in lege Dómini.
v. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Thou art near, O Lord, and all Thy ways are truth: I have known from the
beginning concerning Thy testimonies, and Thou art forever. (Ps. 118: 1)

v. 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.

EPISTLE: Isaias 11: 1-5
|
|
Léctio Isaiæ Prophétæ.
Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Egrediétur vírga de radice Jesse, et flos de radice
ejus ascéndet. Et requiéscet super eum spíritus Dómini: spíritus sapiéntfæ,
et inteiléctus, spíritus consílii, et fortitúdinis, spíritus sciéntiæ, et
pietátis; et replébit eum spíritus timóris Dómini. Non secúndum visiónem
oculórum judicábit: neque secúndum audítum áurium árguet:
sed judicábit in justítia páuperes, et árguet in æquitáte pro mansuétis
terræ: et percútiet terram vírga oris sui, et spíritu labiórum suórum
interfíciet ímpium. Et erit justítia cíngulum lumbórum ejus: et fides
cinctórium renum ejus.
Deo Gratias.

Lesson from Isaias the Prophet. Thus saith the Lord God: There shall come
forth a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a flower shall rise up out of his
root. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him: the spirit of wisdom
and of understanding, the spirit of counsel and of fortitude, the spirit of
knowledge and of godliness, and He shall be filled with the spirit of the
fear of the Lord. He shall not judge according to the sight of the eyes, nor
reprove according to the hearing of the ears.
But He shall judge the poor with justice, and shall reprove with equity for
the meek of the earth: and He shall strike the earth with the rod of His
mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. And justice
shall be the girdle of His loins: and faith the girdle of His reins.
Thanks be to God.

Show us, O Lord, Thy mercy, and grant us Thy salvation.
V. Lord, Thou hast blessed Thy land: Thou hast turned away the captivity of
Jacob.

Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam.
R.Gloria tibi, Domine
In illo témpore: Exsúrgens María ábiit in montána cum festinatióne in
civitátem Juda: et intrávit in domum Zachariæ, et salutávit Elísabeth. Et
factum est, ut audívit salutatiónem Maríæ Elísabeth, exsultávit infansin
útero ejus: et repléta est Spíritu Sancto Elísabeth: et exclamávit voce
magna, et dixit: Benedícta tu inter mulíeres, et benedíctus fructus ventrfs
tui. Et unde hoc mihi, ut véniat mater Dómini mei ad me? Ecce enim, ut facta
est vox salutatiónis tuæ in áuribus meis, exsultávit in gáudio infans in
útero meo. Et beáta, qua credidísti, quóniam perficféntur ea, qua dicta sunt
tibi a Dómfno. Et ait María: Magníficat anima mea Dóminum: et exsultávit
spíritus meus in Deo salutári meo.
Laus tibi Christe.

The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Luke.
R. Glory to Thee, O Lord
At that time, Mary rising up, went into the hill country with haste, into a
city of Juda. And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted
Elizabeth. And it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of
Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy
Ghost: and she cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among
women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that
the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, as soon as the voice of
thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. And
blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be
accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord. And Mary said, My soul
doth magnify the Lord; and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Praise be to Christ

Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Sursum corda.
R.Habemus ad Dominum.
Gratias agamus Domino Deo nostro.
R. Dignum et justum est.
Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos Tibi simper, et ubique gratias agere: Domine sancte, Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus: per Christum Dominum nostrum. Per quem majestatem Tuam laudant Angeli, adorant Dominationes, tremunt Potestates, Coeli, Coelorumque Virtutes, ac beata Seraphim socia exultatione concelebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces, ut admitti, jubeas, supplici confessione dicentes:
SANCTUS, SANCTUS, SANCTUS...

Lift up your hearts.

R. It is meet and just.
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: through Christ our Lord. Through Whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the Heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with them we entreat Thee, that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted, while we say in lowly praise:
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
