1962 Missal Mass Readings/Propers for the Forth Sunday of Advent

Colors:  Violet

INTROIT 
Isaias 45: 8
Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the Just: let the earth be opened and bud forth a Savior. -- (Ps. 18. 2). The heavens show forth the glory of God: and the firmament declareth the work of His hands. V.: Glory to the Father . . . -- Drop down dew, ye heavens . . .

COLLECT - O Lord, we beseech Thee, stir up Thy power, and come, and with great might succor us: that by the help of Thy grace that which is hindered by our sins may be hastened by Thy merciful forgiveness. Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost . . .

EPISTLE
1 Corinthians 4: 1-5
Brethren, Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ and the dispensers of the mysteries of God. Here now it is required among the dispensers that a man be found faithful. But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you or by man's day: but neither do I judge my own self. For I am not conscious to myself of anything: yet am I not hereby justified, by He that judges me is the Lord. Therefore judge not before the time, until the Lord come: Who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels fo the hearts: and then shall every man have praise from God.

GRADUAL
Psalms. 144: 18, 21
The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him: to all that call upon Him in truth. V.: My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless His Holy Name.
Alleluia, alleluia. V.: Come, O Lord, and tarry not: forgive the sins of Thy people Israel. Alleluia

GOSPEL Luke  3: 1-6

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina, under the high priests Annas and Caiphas: the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert. And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins, as it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight His paths: every valley shall be filled: and every mountain shall be made straight, and the rough ways plain: and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

OFFERTORY
Luke 1: 28, 42
Hail Mary, full of grace: the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

SECRET - O Lord, we beseech Thee, look down favorably upon these present Sacrifices: that they may profit us both unto devotion and salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth . . .

PREFACE (Preface of the Most Holy Trinity) - 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; Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out, with one voice saying:

COMMUNION
Isaias 7: 4
Behold a Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son: and His name shall be called Emmanuel.

POST COMMUNION - Having received Thy gifts, we beseech Thee, O Lord: that as we frequent this Mystery, so the world of our salvation may advance. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God . . .

4th Sunday of Advent Propers in Latin (save Collect, Epistle, Gospel, Secret, Preface, and Postcommunion) (I have these from the sheet music of the Gregorian chant for these propers, which I will be singing tomorrow with my church's schola, as I did on the 4th Sunday of Advent last year)

Introit: Rorate caeli desuper, et nubes pluant justum: aperiatur terra, et germinet Salvatorem. Ps. Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei: et opera manuum ejus annuntiat firmamentum. Gloria Patri... Rorate caeli...

Gradual: Prope est Dominus omnibus invocantibus eum: omnibus qui invocant eum in veritate. V. Laudem Domini loquetur os meum: et benedicat omnis caro nomen sanctum ejus. Alleluia. Alleluia. V. Veni, Domine, et noli tardare: relaxa facinora plebis tuae. Alleluia.

Offetory: Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui.

Communion:Ecce virgo concipiet, et pariet filium: et vocabitur nomen ejus Emmanuel.

From The Great Advent Antiphons

Antiphon for the 19th of December

O RADIX Jesse, qui stas in signum populorum, super quem continebunt reges os suum, quem Gentes deprecabuntur: veni ad liberandum nos, iam noli tardere.

O ROOT of Jesse, which standest for an ensign of the people, at whom the kings shall shut their mouths, whom the Gentiles shall seek: come to deliver us, make no tarrying.

I have these from the sheet music of the Gregorian chant for these propers, which I will be singing tomorrow with my church's schola, as I did on the 4th Sunday of Advent last year.

You're able to sing the sacred chant? What a blessing sir.

...at whom the kings shall shut their mouths...

Wow. Good posts Pyro.

Sunday Morning bump.

[AlbionGirl]

Read this last night.

Just joined a new Parish and was going to attend Mass there this morning, but the weather up here in Upstate NY is bad, making the roads bad for travel. So I decided to attend Mass at a Church very close to where I live, I walked.

Even though the weather was bad, it felt good to be on my way to Mass. This was my first experience with a protestant-like Catholic Mass. There weren't even any Missals in the pews to follow the Mass along with the Priest.

The first 10 minutes I was there I was in a tug-of-war with myself as to whether I should bolt or not. I convinced myself that I was being melodramatic, and that I should just finish what I came for, so I stayed.

Seeing these readings again today I can't help but compare the Traditional Mass with the New. If, down the road, homosexual and women priests become the norm, I have no idea how I am going to remain attached.
