Advent
Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths: /
all flesh shall see the sal-vation of God.

Christmas
I proclaim to you good news of great joy: /
today a Savior is born for us, Christ the Lord.
Epiphany
We saw his star at its rising /
and have come to do him homage.

Baptism of the Lord

The heavens were opened and the voice of the Father thundered: /
This is my beloved Son, listen to him.

Easter
Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed; /
let us then feast with joy in the Lord.

MP

Ascension
Go and teach all nations, says the Lord; /
I am with you always, until the end of the world.

Pentecost
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, /
and kindle in them the fire of your love.

Our Lord Jesus Christ the King

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! /
Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come!
Ordinary Time
Shine like lights in the world /
as you hold on to the word of life.

I give you a new commandment, says the Lord: /

love one another as I have loved you.
The Lord set me to bring glad tidings the poor, /
and to proclaim liberty to captives.

Stay awake and be ready! /

For you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
