Thus says the LORD:You, Bethlehem-Ephrathahtoo small to be among the clans of Judah,from you shall come forth for me

Therefore the Lord will give them up, until the time when she who is to give birth has borne,and the rest of his kindred shall return to the children of Israel.

He shall stand firm and shepherd his flock by the strength of the LORD,in the majestic

name of the LORD, his God;

and they shall remain, for now

his greatnessshall reach to the ends of the earth; he shall be peace.

The Word of the Lord!

Chapter 10: verses 5-10Christ The

Sacrificial Offering

Second Reading

Brothers and sisters:When Christ came into the world, he said:

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me;

in holocausts and sin offerings you took no delight. Then I said, ‘As is written of me in the scroll, behold,

I come to do your will, O God.’

“First he says, “Sacrifices and offerings, holocausts

and sin offerings, you neither desired nor delighted in.”These are offered according to the law.

Then he says,:Behold, I come to do your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

By this “will,”  we have been consecrated through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

The Word of the Lord!

All – THANKS BE TO GOD!

Aleluya ! (2x) Ikaw, Panginoon, ang Siyang Daan, ang Buhay at ang Katotohanan.

Aleluya !

GOSPEL: Luke 1:39-45 Leap For Joy

Mary set outand traveled to

the hill country in haste

to a town of Judah, where she entered

the house of Zechariah

and greeted Elizabeth.

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s

greeting,the infant leaped

in her womb,

and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy

Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said,

“Blessed are you among women,

and blessed is the fruit of your

womb.And how does this

happen to me,

that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached

my ears,

the infant in my womb leaped for

joy.Blessed are you who believed

that what was spoken to you by

the Lordwould be fulfilled.”

The Gospel of the Lord!

All – PRAISE TO YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST !

Homily

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ,

His only Son, our Lord.

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate was crucified,

died and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven and

seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy

Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the

resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Communion SongWhen A Child

Is Born

1. A ray of hope flickers in the sky. A tiny star lights up way up high

All across the land dawns a brand new morn. This comes to pass when a child is born.

2. A silent wish sails the seven seas. The winds of change whisper in the trees.

And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn. This comes to pass, when a child is born.

3. A rosy hue settles all around. You got to feel, you’re on solid ground.

For a spell or two no one seems forlorn. This comes to pass when a child is born.

SPOKEN: And all of this happens, because the world is waiting

Waiting for one child; Black –white – yellow, no one knows…..

But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter

Hate to love,war to peace,and everyone to everyone’s neighbor

And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten forever.

4. It’s all a dream an illusion now, it must come true sometime soon somehow.

All across the land dawns a brand new morn. This comes to pass when a child is born.

This comes to pass when a child is born.

Recessional SongAng

Pasko Ay

Sumapit

1. Ang Pasko ay sumapit tayo ay mangagsiawit ng magagandang

himig dahil ang Diyos ay pag-ibig; Nang si Kristo’y isilang

may tatlong haring nagsidalaw at ang bawat isa ay nagsipaghandog ng tanging alay.

KORO: Bagong taon ay magbagong buhay nang lumigaya ang ating bayan.

Tayo’y magsikap upang makamtan natin ang kasaganaan.

2. Tayo’y mangagsiawit habang ang mundo’y tahimik;

Ang araw ay sumapit ng Sanggol na dulot ng langit.

Tayo ay magmahalan, ating sundin ang gintong aral, at magbuhat ngayon,

Kahit hindi Pasko ay magbigayan.

At magbuhat ngayon, kahit hindi Pasko ay magbigayan.
