Introit

Ad te levavi * animam meam: Deus meus in te confido, non erubescam:

neque irrideant me inimici mei: etenim universi qui te exspectant, non confundentur.

Vias tuas, Domine, demonstra mihi: et semitas tuas edoce me.

Unto you have I lifted my soul. O my God, I trust in you; let me not be put to shame;

do not allow my enemies to laugh at me; for none of those who are awaiting you will be disappointed.

Make your ways known unto me, O Lord, and teach me your paths.

Apostles’ Creed (Please stand.)

(All bow at the words in bold.)

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come 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.

A reading from the Holy Gospel According to Mark 13:33-37 Be watchful! Be alert!

As the Body of Christ, you and I face daily needs in the world we live in. Your generous financial gift helps The Basilica—you and me—to support those most in need

through the many programs and outreach we offer here. Please be as generous as you are able. Thank you.

Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem,

and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned.

The voice of him that crieth in the wildernessPrepare ye the way of the Lord.

Make straight in the desert a highway for Our God. (Isaiah 40:1-3)

Ev’ry valley shall be exalted, and ev'ry mountain and hill made low;

the crooked straight and the rough places plain. (Isaiah 40: 4)

11:30 The Yearning Craig Courtney Mundus

There is a yearning in hearts weighed down by ancient grief and centuries of sorrow. There is a yearning in hearts that in the darkness hide

and in the shades of death abide, a yearning for tomorrow.

There is a yearning for the promised One, the Firstborn of creation. There is a yearning for the Lord who visited His own,

and by His death for sin atoned, to bring to us salvation.

Emmanuel, Emmanuel, within our hearts, the yearning.

There is a yearning that fills the hearts of those who wait the day of His appearing. There is a yearning when all our sorrows are erased

and we shall see the One who placed within our hearts the yearning.

Emmanuel, Emmanuel, within our hearts, the yearning.

-Susan Bentall Boersma

4:30 I Hear the Prophet Calling Pepper Choplin Juventus

Ethan Donaldson, solo

6:30 We Await You, O Lord John Angotti

I hear the prophet callin’, “Prepare the way of the Lord.” Come and make straight the way in the desert, a highway for our God.

Prepare the way of the Lord.

I hear Isaiah callin’, “Fear not, your God has come.” I hear Isaiah callin’, “Fear not, your God will come.”

Then will the eyes of the blind be opened. The ears of the deaf will hear. And then the mute will shout for joy. They’ll be shouting for joy.

And the desert will be joyful and blossom as a rose.

We shall rejoice with joy and singing and see the glory of God.

I hear the prophet callin’, “Prepare the way of the Lord.”

Prayer over the OfferingsPriest: Pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours

may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.Assembly: May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name,

for our good and the good of all his holy Church.

The sharing of the peace has been an integral and valued part of the worship of the Church for centuries in the form of a kiss of peace or handshake.

If you are suffering from a cold or the flu, please consider receiving only the host for the reception of Holy Communion.

Pray for peace, sweet Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven and mistress of the world. 

In your courtesy, have the saints pray too, and address your Son, 

begging His Highness to deign to look on His people, whom He redeemed with His blood, 

and to banish war which leads all astray. Do not weary of our prayers. 

Pray for peace, pray for peace, the true treasure of joy.

Peace be to you and grace from HimWho freed us from our sins,

Who loved us all and shed His bloodThat we might saved be.

Sing Holy, Holy to our Lord, The Lord, Almighty God,
