Dum médium siléntium tenérent ómnia, et nox in suo cursu médium iter habéret, omnípotens sermo tuus, Dómine, de cælis a regálibus sédibus venit. When a profound silence covered all ‘things, and night was in the middle of its course, your all-powerful Word, O Lord, bounded from heaven’s royal throne. [–» Greeting] INTRODUCTORY RITES In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. And with your spirit. PENITENCIAL RITE Brothers and sisters, let us acknowledge our sins, and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries. After the silence, all pray 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, They strike their 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. The priest says the absolution May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life. The people answer: Amen. The priest invites all to repent of their sins.

For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. Almighty ever-living , God, splendor of faithful souls, graciously be pleased to fill the world with your glory and show yourself to all peoples by the radiance of your light. Through our Lord. LITURGY OF THE WORD 2nd Sunday after Christmas Wisdom sings her own praises and is honored in God, before her own people she boast; in the assembly of the Most High she opens her mouth, in the presence of his hosts she declares her worth, in the midst of her people she is exalted, in holy fullness she is admired; in the multitude of the chosen she finds praise, and among the blessed she is blessed. “The Creator of all commanded and said to me, and he who formed me chose the sport for my tent, saying, ‘In Jacob make your dwelling, in Israel your inheritance, and among my chosen put down your roots.’ “Before all ages, in the beginning, he created me, and through all ages I shall not cease to be. In the holy tent I ministered before him, and in Zion I fixed my abode. Thus is the chosen city I have rested, in Jerusalem is my domain. I have struck root among a glorious people, in the portion of the Lord, his heritage; and in the company of the holy ones do I linger.” The Word of God became man and lived among us. Verbum caro factum est, et habitávit in nobis. O praise the Lord, Jerusalem! Zion, praise your God! He has strengthened the bars of your gates, he has blessed the children within you. He established peace on your borders, he feeds you with finest wheat. He sends out his word to the earth and swiftly runs his command. He makes his word known to Jacob, to Israel his laws and decrees. He has not dealt thus with other nations; he has not taught them his decrees. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him. In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will, for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved. Therefore, I, too, hearing of your faith in the Lord Jesus and of your love for all the holy ones, do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him. May the eyes of (your) hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones. Glory to Christ who is proclaimed to the world; glory from all who believe in him! 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 a man’s 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. FOR THE REFLECTION HOMILY ON THE 2ND SUNDAY AFTER CHRISTMAS, CLICK HERE, HERE, AND HERE. Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, [at the words that follow, up to and including the Virgin Mary, all bow] who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. Lord, have mercy LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST PREPARATION OF THE GIFTS Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you: fruit of the earth and work of human hands, it will become for us the bread of life. –Blessed be God forever.

(ALL STAND) Pray, brethren [brothers and sisters], that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.

[–» Eucharistic Prayer] [–» Preface of the Nativity] PREFACE OF THE NATIVITY OF THE LORD II Christ restores unity to all creation The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right and just. For on the feast of this awe-filled mystery, though invisible in his own divine nature, he has appeared visibly in ours; and begotten before all ages, he has begun to exist in time; so that, raising up in himself all that was cast down, he might restore unity to all creation and call straying humanity back to the heavenly Kingdom. And so, with all the Angels, in joyful celebration, we, too, acclaim: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. EUCHARISTIC PRAYER I or Roman Canon To you, therefore, most merciful Father, we make humble prayer and petition through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord: that you accept and bless † these gifts, these offerings, these holy and unblemished sacrifices, which we offer you firstly for your holy catholic Church. Be pleased to grant her peace, to guard, unite and govern her throughout the whole world, together with your servant N. our Pope and [N.] our Bishop, and all those who, holding to the truth, hand on the catholic and apostolic faith. Remember, Lord, your servants N. and N. The Priest joins his hands and prays briefly for those for whom he intends to pray. Then, with hands extended, he continues: And all gathered here, whose faith and devotion are known to you. For them and all who are dear to them we offer you this sacrifice of praise or they offer it for themselves and all who are dear to them, for the redemption of their souls, in hope of health and well-being, and fulfilling their vows to you, the eternal God, living and true. Celebrating the most sacred night [day] when blessed Mary the immaculate Virgin brought forth the Savior for this world, and in communion with those whose memory we venerate, especially the glorious ever-Virgin Mary, Mother of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ, † and blessed Joseph, Spouse of the same Virgin, your blessed Apostles and Martyrs, Peter and Paul, Andrew, [James, John, Thomas, James, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon and Jude: Linus, Cletus, Clement, Sixtus, Cornelius, Cyprian, Lawrence, Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian] and all your Saints: through their merits and prayers, grant that in all things we may be defended by your protecting help. [Through Christ our Lord. Amen.] Therefore, Lord, we pray: graciously accept this oblation of our service, that of your whole family; order our days in your peace, and command that we be delivered from eternal damnation and counted among the flock of those you have chosen. [Through Christ our Lord. Amen.] ALL KNEEL Be pleased, O God, we pray, to bless, acknowledge, and approve this offering in every respect; make it spiritual and acceptable, so that it may become for us the Body and Blood of your most beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. On the day before he was to suffer he took bread in his holy and venerable hands, and with eyes raised to heaven to you, O God, his almighty Father, giving you thanks he said the blessing, broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying: He joins his hands. In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly and distinctly, as the nature of these words requires. TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY BODY, WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU. He shows the consecrated host to the people, places it again on the paten, and genuflects in adoration. After this, the Priest continues: In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took this precious chalice in his holy and venerable hands, and once more giving you thanks, he said the blessing and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying: TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT, FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT, WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME. The Priest shows the chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects in adoration. Then the Priest says: The mystery of faith. We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again. Then the Priest, with hands extended, says: Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the memorial of the blessed Passion, the Resurrection from the dead, and the glorious Ascension into heaven of Christ, your Son, our Lord, we, your servants and your holy people, offer to your glorious majesty from the gifts that you have given us, this pure victim, this holy victim, this spotless victim, the holy Bread of eternal life and the Chalice of everlasting salvation. Be pleased to look upon them with serene and kindly countenance, and to accept them, as once you were pleased to accept the gifts of your servant Abel the just, the sacrifice of Abraham, our father in faith, and the offering of your high priest Melchizedek, a holy sacrifice, a spotless victim. Bowing, with hands joined, he continues In humble prayer we ask you, almighty God: command that these gifts be borne by the hands of your holy Angel to your altar on high in the sight of your divine majesty, so that all of us who through this participation at the altar receive the most holy Body and Blood of your Son He stands upright again and signs himself with the Sign of the Cross, saying: may be filled with every grace and heavenly blessing. [Through Christ our Lord. Amen.] Commemoration of the Dead With hands extended, the Priest says: Remember also, Lord, your servants N. and N., who have gone before us with the sign of faith and rest in the sleep of peace. He joins his hands and prays briefly for those who have died and for whom he intends to pray. Then, with hands extended, he continues: Grant them, O Lord, we pray, and all who sleep in Christ, a place of refreshment, light and peace. [Through Christ our Lord. Amen.] He strikes his breast with his right hand, saying: To us, also, your servants, who, though sinners, hope in your abundant mercies, graciously grant some share and fellowship with your holy Apostles and Martyrs: with John the Baptist, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, [Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia] and all your Saints: admit us, we beseech you, into their company, not weighing our merits, but granting us your pardon, through Christ our Lord. Through whom you continue to create all these good things, O Lord; you sanctify them, fill them with life, bless them, and bestow them upon us. He takes the chalice and the paten with the host and, elevating both, he says: Through him, and with him, and in him, to you, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever. Amen. ALL STAND COMMUNION RITE At the Savior’s command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say: Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles: I leave you peace, my peace I leave you. Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church, and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance to your will, who live and reign for ever and ever. Amen. The peace of the Lord be with you always. And with your spirit. Let us offer each other the sign of peace Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us.

MOLITVA PRED RASPETIM Svevišnji, dični Bože, rasvijetli tmine moga srca. Daj mi pravu vjeru, čvrstu nadu, savršenu ljubav; smisao i spoznaju, Gospodine, da izvršim tvoju svetu i istinsku volju! MOLITVA SV. FRANJE ZA MIR Gospodine, učini me oruđem svoga mira: Gdje je mržnja, da donosim ljubav! Gdje je uvreda, da donosim praštanje! Gdje je nesloga, da donosim jedinstvo ! Gdje je zabluda, da donosim istinu! Gdje je sumnja, da donosim vjeru! Gdje je očaj, da donosim nadu! Gdje je tama, da donosim svjetlo! Gdje je žalost, da donosim radost! Gospodine, učini da ne tražim: da me tješe, nego da ja tješim druge; da ne zahtijevam da me razumiju, nego da se trudim razumjeti druge; da ne tražim samo da me ljube, nego da i ja ljubim druge! Jer tko se daruje, prima: tko prašta, bit će mu oprošteno i tko umire sebi, rađa se za vječni život! MOLITVA PROSVJETLJENJA Svevišnji, preslavni Bože, rasvijetli tminu moga srca i daj mi pravu vjeru pouzdano ufanje i savršenu ljubav. Podaj mi Gospodine, prave osjećaje i spoznaju da ispunim tvoju svetu zapovijed koju si mi dao u istini. Amen. MOLITVA “KLANJAMO TI SE” Klanjamo ti se, Gospodine Isuse Kriste, ovdje i po svim tvojim crkvama koje su po cijelome svijetu, i blagoslivljamo te, jer si po svome svetom križu otkupio svijet .

Dostojan si, Gospodine, Bože naš, primiti hvalu, slavu i čast i blagoslov (usp. I hvaljen i uzvisivan dovijeka. Dostojan je zaklani Jaganjac primiti moć i božanstvo i mudrost i snagu i čast i slavu i blagoslov (usp. I hvaljen i uzvisivan dovijeka. Blagoslivljajmo Oca i Sina sa Svetim Duhom: I hvalimo i uzvisujmo ga dovijeka. Sva djela Gospodnja blagoslivljajte Gospodina (Dan 3,57): I hvalimo i uzvisujmo ga dovijeka. Hvalite Boga našega, sve sluge njegove, svi koji se njega bojite, i mali i veliki (Otk 19,5): I hvalimo i uzvisujmo ga dovijeka. Neka ga slavnoga hvale i nebesa i zemlja (Ps 69,35): I hvalimo i uzvisujmo ga dovijeka. Sve stvorenje, i na nebu i na zemlji, i pod zemljom, i u moru ¬ sve na njima i u njima govori (Otk 5,13): I hvalimo i uzvisujmo ga dovijeka. Slava Ocu i sinu i Duhu Svetom: I hvalimo i uzvisujmo ga dovijeka. Kako bijaše na početku tako i sada i vazda i u vijeke vjekova. Amen. I hvalimo i uzvisujmo ga dovijeka MOLITVA POHVALE Svemogući, presveti, svevišnji i najviši Bože, svako Dobro, vrhovno Dobro, sve Dobro, koji si jedini Dobar (usp. tebi uzdajemo svaku hvalu, svaku slavu, svaku zahvalnost, svaku čast, svaki blagoslov i svako dobro.

MOLITVA “ABSORBEAT” Vatrena i slatka sila tvoje ljubavi, molim, Gospodine, neka obuzme moj um i moje srce i neka ga odijeli od svega, što je pod nebom, da umrem od ljubavi ljubeći tebe, koji si se udostojao umrijeti od ljubavi ljubeći mene ANTIFONA: SVETA DJEVICE MARIJO Sveta Djevice Marijo, nema tebi slične na svijetu medu ženama rođene, kćeri i službenice svevišnjega Kralja, Majko presvetoga Gospodina Isusa Krista, zaručnice Duha Svetoga: moli za nas sa sv. Mihaelom arkanđelom i svim nebeskim silama i sa svima svetima kod svoga svetoga ljubljenoga Sina, Gospodina i Učitelja. POZDRAV BLAŽENOJ DJEVICI Zdravo Gospodarice, sveta Kraljice, Bogorodice Marijo, ti si djevica koja si postala crkvom, i izabrana od presvetog Oca na nebu da te posveti sa presvetim Sinom svojim i Duhom Svetim Utješiteljem. U tebi je bila i jest sva punina milosti i svako dobro. Zdravo palačo njegova, zdravo njegovo svetohranište, zdravo kućo njegova. Zdravo odjećo njegova, zdravo njegova službenice, zdravo majko njegova. I svi vi, o svete kreposti koje se po milosti i rasvjetljenju Duha Svetoga ulijevate u srca vjernika da Bogu od nevjernika napravite vjernika MOLITVA I ZAHVALA Svemogući, presveti, svevišnji, najviši Bože, Oče sveti i pravedni, Gospodine, Kralju neba i zemlje, zahvaljujemo ti radi tebe samoga, što si po svojoj svetoj volji i po jedinome svome Sinu s Duhom Svetim stvorio sve duhovno i tjelesno i što si nas, stvorene na svoju sliku i priliku, postavio u raj. A mi smo pali po svojoj krivnji. I zahvaljujemo ti, kao što si nas po svome Sinu stvorio, da si tako, po svojoj svetoj ljubavi kojom si nas ljubio, učinio da se on, pravi Bog i pravi čovjek, rodi od slavne vazda Djevice preblažene svete Marije, i što si htio da kao zarobljenici budemo ot¬kupljeni njegovim križem, krvlju i smrću. I zahvaljujemo ti što on, Sin tvoj, ima doći u slavi svoga veličanstva da osuđenike koji se nisu obratili niti su te spoznali baci u oganj vječni, a onima koji su te spoznali, koji su te štovali i u pokori ti služili da reče: Dođite, blagoslovljeni Oca mojega, primite kraljevstvo pripravljeno za vas od postanka svijeta. A budući da mi, bijedni i grešni, nismo vrijedni ni da tvoje spomenemo ime, molimo i zaklinjemo da Gospodin naš Isus Krist, tvoj ljubljeni Sin u kojemu ti je sva milina, skupa s Duhom Tješiteljem tebi zahvaljuje, kako je tebi i njemu po volji, mjesto svih, jer je on tebi dostatan za sve i po njemu si nam toliko dobra učinio. Aleluja. PISMO OPĆEM SABORU BRAĆE Svemogući, vječni, pravedni i milosrdni Bože, podaj da mi slabi radi tebe vršimo ono što znamo da ti hoćeš, i da uvijek hoćemo što se tebi sviđa, da, iznutra očišćeni, iznutra prosvijetljeni i raspaljeni ognjem Duha Svetoga uzmognemo slijediti stope tvoga Sina (usp. 1 Pt 2,21), Gospodina našega Isusa Krista, i da samo po tvojoj milosti dođemo k tebi, Svevišnji, koji u savršenom Trojstvu i jednostavnom Jedinstvu živiš i kraljuješ i slavno vladaš, svemogući Bog, po sve vijeke vjekova. Amen. TUMAČENJE OČE NAŠA O presveti Oče naš, – Stvoritelju, Otkupitelju, Tješitelju i Spasitelju naš. Koji jesi na nebesima – U anđelima i svetima; rasvjetljuj~ ih za spoznaju jer si ti, Gospodine, svjetlo; nastanjuješ se u njima i ispunjaš ih blaženstvom jer si ti Gospodine, najveće Dobro, vječno Dobro od kojega je svako dobro, bez koga nema dobra. Sveti se ime tvoje – Neka zasja u nama spoz¬naja tebe da spoznamo kolika je širina dobročinstava tvojih, duljina obećanja tvojih, visina veličanstva i dubina sudova. Dođi kraljevstvo tvoje – Da ti, po milosti, u nama vladaš i učiniš da dođemo u Kral¬jevstvo tvoje gdje je jasno gledanje tebe, savršena ljubav prema tebi, blaženo zajed¬ništvo s tobom i vječno uživanje tebe. Budi volja tvoja kako na nebu tako i na zemlji – Da te ljubimo svim srcem, da uvijek mislimo na tebe; svom dušom, da uvijek želimo tebe; svim umom, da sve svoje nakane tebi upravljamo i da tvoju slavu u svemu tražimo; svim silama svojim, da utrošimo sve svoje snage i osjećaje duše i tijela u služenju tvojoj ljubavi i ni za što drugo. I da svoje bližnje ljubimo kao same sebe i da, koliko nam je moguće, sve priv¬lačimo tvojoj ljubavi; da uživamo u dobru drugih kao i u svome i da suosjećamo s njima u protivštinama i da nikoga ni u čemu ne vrijeđamo. Kruh naš svagdanji – Svoga ljubljenoga Sina, Gospodina našega Isusa Krista, daj nam danas: na spomen i razumijevanje i poštovanje ljubavi koju je za nas imao i za sve što je za nas rekao, učinio i pretrpio. I otpusti nam duge naše – Po svome neiz¬recivom milosrđu, po snazi muke tvoga ljubljenoga Sina i po zaslugama i zagovoru preblažene Djevice i svih izabranika tvojih. Kako i mi otpuštamo dužnicima našim – I što potpuno ne opraštamo, ti, Gospodine, učini da potpuno oprostimo, da radi tebe istinski ljubimo neprijatelje i da ih kod tebe pobožno zagovaramo, da nikomu ne uzvraćamo zlom za zlo i da nastojimo tebi u svemu koristiti. I ne uvedi nas u napast – Niti u skrivenu niti u očitu, niti u iznenadnu niti u nezgodnu. Nego izbavi nas od zla – Prošloga, sadašnjega i budućega. Slava Ocu… POHVALA BOGU Ti si svet Gospodin, Bog jedini, koji čudesa stvaraš. Ti si jak, Ti si velik, Ti si svevišnji. Ti si svemogući kralj. Ti si, Oče Sveti, kralj neba i zemlje.

Ti si naša nada, ti si vjera naša. Ti si naša ljubav. Ti si sva naša naslada, ti si naš vječni život: Veliki i divni Gospodine, svemogući Bože, milosrdni Spasitelju. PJESMA BRATA SUNCA ILI POHVALE STVOROVA Svevišnji, svemoćni, Gospodine dobri, Tvoja je hvala i slava i čast i blagoslov svaki. Tebi to jedinom pripada, dok čovjek nijedan dostojan nije, ni da Ti sveto spomene ime. Hvaljen budi, Gospodine moj, sa svim stvorenjima svojim, napose s bratom gospodinom suncem. Od njega nam dolazi dan i svojim nas zrakama grije. Ono je lijepo i sjajne je svjetlosti puno: slika je, Svevišnji, Tvoga božanskoga sjaja. Hvaljen budi, Gospodine moj, po bratu našemu vjetru, po zraku, oblaku, po jasnoj vedrini i svakom vremenu Tvojem, kojim uzdržavaš stvorove svoje. Hvaljen budi, Gospodine moj, po sestrici vodi: ona je korisna, ponizna, draga i čista. Hvaljen budi, Gospodine moj, po bratu našem ognju, koji nam tamnu rasvjetljuje noć. On je lijep i ugodan, silan i jak. Hvaljen budi, Gospodine moj, po sestri i majci nam zemlji. Ona nas hrani i nosi, slatke nam plodove, cvijeće šareno i bilje donosi. Hvaljen budi, Gospodine moj, po onima koji praštaju iz ljubavi Tvoje i podnose rado bijede života. Blaženi koji sve podnose s mirom, jer ćeš ih vječnom okruniti krunom. Hvaljen budi, Gospodine moj, po sestri nam tjelesnoj smrti, kojoj nijedan smrtnik umaći neće Jao onima koji u smrtnom umiru grijehu, a blažen, koje Ti nađeš po volji presvetoj svojoj. Hvalite i blagoslivljajte Gospodina moga, zahvaljujte njemu, služite njemu svi u poniznosti velikoj!
