Puer nobis nascitur arr. David Willcocks

1

Come, thou Redeemer of the earth And manifest thy virgin birth: Let ev’ry age adoring fall; Such birth befits the God of all.

5

From God the Father he proceeds, To God the Father back he speeds; His course he runs to death and hell, Returning on God’s throne to dwell.

2

Begotten of no human will, But of the spirit, thou art still The Word of God in flesh arrayed, The promised fruit to man displayed.

6

O equal to thy Father, thou!

Gird on thy fleshly mantle now; The weakness of our mortal state With deathless might invigorate.

3

The virgin womb that burden gained, With virgin honor all unstained; The banners there of virtue glow; God in his temple dwells below.

7

Thy cradle here shall glitter bright, And darkness breathe a newer light, Where endless faith shall shine serene And twilight never intervene.

4

Forth from his chamber goeth he, The royal home of purity, A giant in twofold substance one, Rejoicing now his course to run.

8

All laud, eternal Son, to thee Whose advent sets thy people free, Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore.

Alabemos a Dios, que puede hacerlos a ustedes firmes conforme al evangelio que yo anuncio y la enseñanza acerca de Jesucristo. Esto está de acuerdo con lo que Dios ha revelado de su designio secreto, el cual estuvo oculto desde antes que el mundo existiera, pero ahora se ha dado a conocer por los escritos de los profetas, de acuerdo con el mandato del Dios eterno. Este secreto del plan de Dios se ha dado a conocer a todas las naciones, para que crean y obedezcan. ¡A Dios, el único y sabio, sea la gloria para siempre por medio de Jesucristo! Amén.

San Lucas 1:26–38

El Santo Evangelio de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo según San Lucas.

Todos ¡Gloria a ti, Cristo Señor!

Jesus Christ according to Luke.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.”

A los seis meses, Dios mandó al ángel Gabriel a un pueblo de Galilea llamado Nazaret, donde vivía una joven llamada María; era virgen, pero estaba comprometida para casarse con un hombre llamado José, descendiente del rey David. El ángel entró en el lugar donde ella estaba, y le dijo: —¡Salve, llena de gracia! El Señor está contigo.

But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.

The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

María se sorprendió de estas palabras, y se preguntaba qué significaría aquel saludo.

El ángel le dijo: —María, no tengas miedo, pues tú gozas del favor de Dios. Ahora vas a quedar encinta: tendrás un hijo, y le pondrás por nombre Jesús. Será un gran hombre, al que llamarán Hijo del Dios altísimo, y Dios el Señor lo hará Rey, como a su antepasado David, para que reine por siempre sobre el pueblo de Jacob.

Su reinado no tendrá fin.

Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren.

For nothing will be impossible with God.”

María preguntó al ángel: —¿Cómo podrá suceder esto, si no vivo con ningún hombre?

El ángel le contestó: —El Espíritu Santo vendrá sobre ti, y el poder del Dios altísimo se posará sobre ti. Por eso, el niño que va a nacer será llamado Santo e Hijo de Dios. También tu parienta Isabel va a tener un hijo, a pesar de que es anciana; la que decían que no podía tener hijos, está encinta desde hace seis meses. Para Dios no hay nada imposible.

Then Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.”

Then the angel departed from her.

Entonces María dijo: —Yo soy esclava del Señor; que Dios haga conmigo como me has dicho. Con esto, el ángel se fue.

El Credo Niceno

BCP, p. 358

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

Creemos en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador de cielo y tierra, de todo lo visible e invisible.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father.

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation

he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit

he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,

and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

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.

Creemos en un solo Señor, Jesucristo, Hijo único de Dios, nacido del Padre antes de todos los siglos: Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz, Dios verdadero de Dios verdadero, engendrado, no creado, de la misma naturaleza que el Padre, por quien todo fue hecho; que por nosotros y por nuestra salvación bajó del cielo: por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarnó de María, la Virgen, y se hizo hombre.

Por nuestra causa fue crucificado en tiempos de Poncio Pilato: padeció y fue sepultado.

Resucitó al tercer día, según las Escrituras, subió al cielo y está sentado a la derecha del Padre.

De nuevo vendrá con gloria para juzgar a vivos y muertos, y su reino no tendrá fin.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.

He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Creemos en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida, que procede del Padre y del Hijo, que con el Padre y el Hijo recibe una misma adoración y gloria, y que habló por los profetas.

Creemos en la Iglesia, que es una, santa, católica y apostólica.

Reconocemos un solo Bautismo para el perdón de los pecados.

Esperamos la resurrección de los muertos y la vida del mundo futuro. Amén.

Te damos gracias, oh Dios, por la bondad y el amor que tú nos has manifestado en la creación; en el llamado a Israel para ser tu pueblo; en tu Verbo revelado a través de los profetas; y, sobre todo, en el Verbo hecho carne, Jesús, tu Hijo. Pues en la plenitud de los tiempos le has enviado para que se encarnara de María la Virgen a fin de ser el Salvador y Redentor del mundo. En él, nos has librado del mal, y nos has hecho dignos de estar en tu presencia. En él, nos has sacado del error a la verdad, del pecado a la rectitud, y de la muerte a la vida.

We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you.

In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

En la víspera de su muerte por nosotros, nuestro Señor Jesucristo tomó pan; y dándote gracias, lo partió y lo dio a sus discípulos, y dijo: “Tomen y coman. Este es mi Cuerpo, entregado por ustedes. Hagan esto como memorial mío”.

On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”

Después de la cena tomó el cáliz; y dándote gracias, se lo entregó, y dijo: “Beban todos de él. Esta es mi Sangre del nuevo Pacto, sangre derramada por ustedes y por muchos para el perdón de los pecados. Siempre que lo beban, háganlo como memorial mío”.

After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”

11

Therefore, according to his command, O Father, All

We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;

Celebrant

And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.

(El Celebrante continua)

We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.

Te suplicamos, Dios bondadoso, que envíes tu Espíritu Santo sobre estos dones, para que sean el Sacramento del Cuerpo de Cristo y su Sangre del nuevo Pacto. Unenos a tu Hijo en su sacrificio, a fin de que, por medio de él, seamos aceptables, siendo santificados por el Espíritu Santo. En la plenitud de los tiempos, sujeta todas las cosas a tu Cristo y llévanos a la patria celestial donde, con todos tus santos, entremos en la herencia eterna de tus hijos; por Jesucristo nuestro Señor, el primogénito de toda la creación, la cabeza de la Iglesia, y el autor de nuestra salvación.

By Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. Amen.

Por él, y con él y en él, en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, tuyos son el honor y la gloria, Padre omnipotente, ahora y por siempre. AMEN.

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

Oremos como nuestro Salvador Cristo nos enseñó,

Y te ofrecemos nuestro sacrificio de alabanza y acción de gracias, Señor de todos; ofreciéndote, de tu creación, este pan y este vino.

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.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu Nombre, venga tu reino, hágase tu voluntad, en la tierra como en el cielo.

Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día.

Perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden.

No nos dejes caer en tentación y líbranos del mal.

Porque tuyo es el reino, tuyo es el poder, y tuya es la gloria, ahora y por siempre. Amén.

The Breaking of the Bread (Fracción del Pan)

Hymn 324, stanza 1, Picardy

Facing the people, the Celebrant says the following Invitation

De cara al pueblo, el Celebrante hace la siguiente Invitación:

The Gifts of God for the People of God.

Los Dones de Dios para el Pueblo de Dios.

The Communion

All are welcome to receive the consecrated bread and wine of the Eucharist. You may receive at the altar or at floorlevel stations. Stand or kneel and receive the bread (a wafer) in the palm of your hand. Receive the wine either by drinking from the cup (guiding it to your lips) or by touching the wafer lightly to the wine. Younger children are invited to stand for easier access to the cup. If you desire to receive a blessing, cross your arms across your chest.

11:15 a.m. only: During the ministration of Holy Communion, prayers for healing and the laying on of hands are offered in St. Luke’s Chapel. The chapel is located in the South (Andrews) transept. All are welcome.

Communion Anthem

music: In the bleak midwinter, Harold Darke (English, 1888-1976) words: Christina Rossetti (English, 1830-1894)

In the bleak mid-winter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak mid-winter Long ago.

Enough for Him, whom cherubim Worship night and day, A breastful of milk And a mangerful of hay; Enough for Him, whom angels Fall down before, The ox and ass and camel Which adore.

Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him Nor earth sustain; Heaven and earth shall flee away When He comes to reign: In the bleak mid-winter A stable-place sufficed The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.

What can I give Him, Poor as I am?

If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb, If I were a wise man I would do my part, Yet what I can I give Him, Give my heart.

The Sending of Lay Eucharistic Ministers Celebrant In the name of God, we send you forth bearing these

All Almighty and everliving God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are living members of the Body of your Son, and heirs of your eternal kingdom. And now, Father, send us out to do the work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

Oración después de la comunión Celebrante Oremos.

Todo Omnipotente y sempiterno Dios, te damos gracias porque nos has nutrido con el alimento espiritual del preciosísimo Cuerpo y Sangre de tu Hijo, nuestro Salvador Jesucristo; y porque nos aseguras, en estos santos misterios, que somos miembros vivos del Cuerpo de tu Hijo y herederos de tu reino eterno. Y ahora, Padre, envíanos al mundo para cumplir la misión que tú nos has encomendado, para amarte y servirte como fieles testigos de Cristo nuestro Señor. A él, a ti y al Espíritu Santo, sea todo honor y gloria, ahora y por siempre. Amén.
