  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Ps 1:1Rv 11:19a;12:1-6a, 10ab

  God's temple in heaven was opened,
  and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple.
  
  A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun,
  with the moon under her feet,
  and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
  She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.
  Then another sign appeared in the sky;
  it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns,
  and on its heads were seven diadems.
  Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky
  and hurled them down to the earth.
  Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth,
  to devour her child when she gave birth.
  She gave birth to a son, a male child,
  destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod.
  Her child was caught up to God and his throne.
  The woman herself fled into the desert
  where she had a place prepared by God.
  
  Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
  "Now have salvation and power come,
  and the Kingdom of our God
  and the authority of his Anointed."

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 1:39-47

  Mary set out
  and 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,
  "Most 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 Lord
  would be fulfilled."
  
  And Mary said:
  
  "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
  my spirit rejoices in God my savior."

  Brothers and sisters:
  Rejoice in the Lord always.
  I shall say it again: rejoice!
  Your kindness should be known to all.
  The Lord is near.
  Have no anxiety at all, but in everything,
  by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
  make your requests known to God.
  Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding
  will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 3:10-18

  The crowds asked John the Baptist,
  "What should we do?"
  He said to them in reply,
  "Whoever has two cloaks
  should share with the person who has none.
  And whoever has food should do likewise."
  Even tax collectors came to be baptized and they said to him,
  "Teacher, what should we do?"
  He answered them,
  "Stop collecting more than what is prescribed."
  Soldiers also asked him,
  "And what is it that we should do?"
  He told them,
  "Do not practice extortion,
  do not falsely accuse anyone,
  and be satisfied with your wages."
  Now the people were filled with expectation,
  and all were asking in their hearts
  whether John might be the Christ.
  John answered them all, saying,
  "I am baptizing you with water,
  but one mightier than I is coming.
  I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals.
  He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
  His winnowing fan is in his hand to clear his threshing floor
  and to gather the wheat into his barn,
  but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."
  Exhorting them in many other ways,
  he preached good news to the people.
