2nd Sunday of Advent 4th Sunday of Advent

Lectionary for sundays: year a adVent Advent has a twofold character: as a season to prepare for Christmas, when Christ’s first coming to us is remembered; and as a season when that remembrance directs the mind and heart to await Christ’s coming at the end of time. Advent is thus a period for devout and joyful expectation. The playing of the organ and other musical instruments, and the decoration of the altar with flowers should be done in a moderate manner, as is consonant with the character of the season, without anticipating the full joy of the Nativity of the Lord. The same moderation should be observed in the celebration of marriage. deceMBer 2013 P

LiturGicaL caLendar

The season of Lent is a preparation for the celebration of Easter.The liturgy prepares the catechumens for the celebration of the Paschal Mystery by the various stages of Christian initiation; it also prepares the faithful, who recall their baptism and do penance in preparation for Easter. Memorials which occur on a weekday may be commemorated, if wished, only by using the collect of the saint in place of the collect for the Mass of the Day. The Alleluia is always omitted, both in the Liturgy of the Hours & Mass. It is not permitted to adorn the altar with flowers, and the organ and other instruments may only be played for the purpose of sustaining the singing. An exception is made for Laetare Sunday, and for solemnities and feasts. For the celebration of marriage, the parish priest should alert spouses to the need to take account of the particular penitential character of this season.

The Paschal Fast should also be kept sacred. It is to be celebrated everywhere on the Friday of the Lord’s Passion and, where appropriate, prolonged also through Holy Saturday as a way of coming, with spirit uplifted, to the joys of the Lord’s Resurrection.

easter feria The fifty days of the sacred season of Easter conclude with Pentecost Sunday, when the Church recalls the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Apostles, the beginnings of the Church, and the start of her mission to all tongues and peoples and nations. It is appropriate that the Vigil Mass of Pentecost be celebrated in the extended form, using the readings and prayers to be found in the liturgical books. This Mass, however, does not have a baptismal character, as does the Easter Vigil, but instead is a celebration of more intense prayer, after the example of the Apostles and disciples, who together with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, were one in persevering prayer, as they awaited the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

The Easter season ends. After today, the Paschal Candle is no longer kept in the sanctuary, but moved to the baptistery, where it is lit at baptisms. At funerals it is placed and lit near the coffin, to signify that Christian death is a true Passover. From tomorrow, the recitation of the Angelus is resumed.

§ CYCLE OF PRAYER – ADVENT/CHRISTMAS We are asked to pray for these intentions: Openness to the Word of God; Migrants and Refugees; Expectant Mothers. Migrants’ Day Wednesday 3 December Bible Sunday Sunday 7 December 2nd Sunday of Advent Expectant Mothers especially on 21 December 4th Sunday of Advent Lectionary for sundays: year B adVent Advent has a two-fold character: as a season to prepare for Christmas, when Christ’s first coming to us is remembered; and as a season when that remembrance directs the mind and heart to await Christ’s coming at the end of time. Advent is thus a period for devout and joyful expectation. The playing of the organ and other musical instruments, and the decoration of the altar with flowers should be done in a moderate manner, as is consonant with the character of the season, without anticipating the full joy of the Nativity of the Lord. The same moderation should be observed in the celebration of marriage. 30 sun
