Like a shepherd he feeds his flock; in his arms he gathers the lambs, carrying them in his bosom, and leading the ewes with care. Second Sunday of Advent The word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God. The Introductory Rites Responsorial: Psalm 85:9ab and 10, 11-12, 13-14

Entrance Antiphon Isaiah 30:19, 30 “To Zion’s hill our God will come with healing for all nations’ ills. Your hearts will quicken as you hear the Lord’s majestic, glorious voice.”

Sign of Cross and Greeting

Second Reading: 2 Peter 3:8-14 Penitential Act Do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day. The Lord does not delay his promise, as some regard “delay,” but he is patient with you, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a mighty roar and the elements will be dissolved by fire, and the earth and everything done on it will be found out. Since everything is to be dissolved in this way, what sort of persons ought you to be, conducting yourselves in holiness and devotion, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved in flames and the elements melted by fire. But according to his promise we await new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you await these things, be eager to be found without spot or blemish before him, at peace. The word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God.
