 Introitus

Ps 24:1-3
Ad te levávi ánimam meam: Deus meus, in te confído, non erubéscam: neque irrídeant me inimíci mei: étenim univérsi, qui te exspéctant, non confundéntur.
Ps 24:4
Vias tuas, Dómine, demónstra mihi: et sémitas tuas édoce me.
V. Glória Patri, ...

Collect

R. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
Put forth Your power, O Lord, we beseech You, and come, that with You as our protector we may be rescued from the impending danger of our sins; and with You as our deliverer, may we obtain our salvation.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
R. Amen

Let us pray.
Commemoration St. Sabbas, Abbot
May the intercession of the blessed Abbot Sabbas, commend us to You, O Lord, so that through his merits we may obtain that which we cannot accomplish by our own.

O God, Who, by the message of an Angel, willed to take flesh in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, grant that we, your suppliants, who believe her to be truly the Mother of God, may be helped by her intercession with You.

P. The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
The beginning ++ of the holy Gospel according to John
R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
John 1, 1-14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made: in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Post Communion
P. The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
May we receive Your mercy, O Lord, in the midst of Your temple, and thus prepare with due observance for the coming festal season of our redemption.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
R. Amen.

Let us pray.
Commemoration St. Sabbas, Abbot
May the pleading of the blessed Abbot Sabbas for us, together with the partaking of Your sacrament, protect us, O Lord, so that we, mindful of his way of life, may obtain the help of his intercession.

de S. Maria Advent
May this Communion, O Lord, cleanse us of sin, and by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, may it make us sharers of heavenly healing.
Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
R. Amen.

From the Holy Gospel according to Mark
Mark 16:15-18
In that time, Jesus said to his disciples: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. And so on.

Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great.
29th on the Gospels.
By the words every creature we may understand every tribe of the Gentiles. Of aforetime it had been said, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, Matth. x. 5, but now, Preach the Gospel to every creature, that, since the Jews had proudly rejected the preaching of the Apostles, that might become our gain which was the seal of their condemnation. But when the Eternal Truth sendeth forth His disciples to preach, what doth He but scatter seed over the field of the world? He scattereth abroad a few grains for seed, that He may afterward reap an abundant harvest in our faith.


Post Communion
P. The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.

Matt 13:44
At that time Jesus spake unto His disciples this parable The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field. And so on.

Dearly beloved brethren, the kingdom of heaven is likened unto the things of earth, to the end that by the mean of things which we know, our mind may rise to the contemplation of the things which we know not by the example of things which are seen, may fix her gaze on things which are not seen by the touch of things which she useth, may be warmed towards the things which she useth not; by things which she knoweth and loveth, to love also the things which she knoweth not. For, behold, “the kingdom of heaven is likened unto treasure hid in a field, the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and, for joy thereof, goeth and selleth all that he hath and buyeth that field.”

Dearly beloved brethren, ye hear how that Peter and Andrew, having once heard the Lord call them, left their nets, and followed their Saviour.

Liturgical notes for Advent:

Advent 2025 begins at I Vespers of the 1st Sunday of Advent on the afternoon of November 29 and ends after None on December 24. The liturgical color of the season is violet, save for Gaudete Sunday, on which rose vestments may be worn. At solemn Masses of the season, under the 1954 rubrics, deacon and subdeacon wear folded violet chasubles except on Gaudete Sunday and the vigil of Christmas. Under the 1962 rubrics, deacon and subdeacon wear dalmatic and tunicle, respectively, as usual; the folded chasuble is suppressed. Under the 1954 rubrics, the Sundays of Advent are privileged Sundays. The 1st Sunday is of the 1st order; no feast may take its place. All other Sundays of Advent are of the 2nd order and give way only to doubles of the I class. Under the 1962 rubrics, all Sundays of Advent are of the I class and give way to no feast save the feast of the Immaculate Conception. The Gloria is omitted in all Masses of the season; in the Office, the Te Deum is not recited at Matins on Sundays and ferias. On Sundays in Advent, the Alleluia is sung or said, as is the Credo. Under the 1962 rubrics only, the neo-Gallican Preface of Advent found in some editions of the 1962 Missal may be used where authorized in place of the Preface of the Trinity or Common Preface. Unlike Lent, the ferial days of Advent do not have proper Masses; rather, the Mass of the preceding Sunday is resumed. The Alleluia is omitted and the Credo is not said. Under 1954, ferias of Advent are of simple rite and give way to feasts of semi-double or higher rite. Under 1962, the ferias of Lent through December 16 inclusive are of the III class and give way to feasts of the III class or higher. The days of Advent from 17 December to 23 December inclusive, as well as the Ember Days of Advent, are of the II class under the 1962 rubrics. Under both sets of rubrics, the ferial days of Advent are privileged and must be commemorated at Lauds, all Masses (even conventual Mass), and at Vespers when a feast occurs. It is not permissible under 1954 to say the Mass of a feria in place of a feast as permitted during Lent. From 17 to 23 December inclusive, the proper O Antiphons for each day are used at the Magnificat at Vespers. At Mass, flowers are not permitted on the altar, and the organ may be used only to support the singing, except on Gaudete Sunday and major feasts. The First Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (1962 only) votive Masses are permitted during Advent, provided the liturgical day is not of high enough rank (1954: double of the I or II class; 1962: I or II class) to prohibit them. The 1954 rubrics permit ordinary votive Masses, including the Advent Rorate Mass of Our Lady, on all ferial days of simple rite occurring before December 17. Votive Masses are prohibited under the 1954 rubrics from December 17 to 23 inclusive. Under the 1962 rubrics, ordinary votive Masses are prohibited entirely during Advent; this, in theory, forbids the celebration of the Advent Rorate Mass of Our Lady, although, in practice, it is treated as a III class votive Mass, even though the 1960 rubrics make no mention of it. Technically, Advent wreaths should not be placed in the sanctuary, as they are not officially sanctioned by the Church in the pre-1969 rites and no official blessings for them exist in the Ritual. In practice, in my opinion, this is an area where local custom should prevail. Under 1954, the seasonal orations said at Mass on days of simple and semi-double rite during Advent are Deus qui de beatae of Our Lady and either Ecclesiae tuae for the Church or Deus omnium for the Pope. The seasonal orations are not said under the 1962 rubrics, nor are they said under 1954 on semi-double Sundays on which a feast of double rite is commemorated, or on a Sunday within an octave. At Lauds, schema II of the psalter assigned to the respective day of the week is used on all ferial days of Advent (but not on Sundays or on feasts, where schema I is used at Lauds and the Alleluia is sung at Mass). The Marian antiphon is Alma Redemptoris Mater with the V Angelus and the Advent collect Gratiam from the beginning of Advent until None of the vigil of Christmas inclusive.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 1:35-51
At that time again John stood, and two of his disciples. And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God. And so on.

Homily of St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo
7th Tract on John
Since John was the friend of the Bridegroom, iii. 29, he sought not his own glory, but bare witness to the truth. Would he that his disciples should remain with him rather than that they should follow the Lord? Nay, he showed his disciples Whom they should follow. They thought that he himself was the Lamb; but he saith Why wait ye on me? I am not the Lamb. Behold the Lamb of God! This was He of Whom he had already said above 29 Behold the Lamb of God! And what use to us is the Lamb of God? Behold the Lamb of God, saith John, Which taketh away the sin of the world. And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
