FIRST READING: Isaiah 62:6-7;


RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Psalm 89.

R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.


4 I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant: 5 Forever will I confirm your posterity and establish your throne for all generations.

R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.


16 Blessed the people who know the joyful shout; in the light of your countenance, O LORD, they walk. 17 At your name they rejoice all the day, and through your justice they are exalted.


R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.


27 He shall say of me, “You are my father, my God, the rock, my savior.” 29 Forever I will maintain my kindness toward him, and my covenant with him stands firm.

R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.


SECOND READING: Acts 13: 16- 25;


GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:

Alleluia, alleluia. Tomorrow the wickedness of the earth will be destroyed: the Savior of the world will reign over us. Alleluia.


GOSPEL: Matthew 1:18-25


SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER:

My Jesus,

I believe that you are present

in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things,

and I desire to receive You in my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment

receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there

and unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.
