This weekend we are celebrating the Second Sunday of Advent.

O come, Emmanuel.

As is true of the Advent season in general, the readings today share the message of the coming of the Messiah. Beginning with Isaiah's prophesies in chapter 30, verses 19 and 30, the Entrance antiphon proclaims:

O people of Sion, behold,

the Lord will come to save the nations,

and the Lord will make the glory of his voice heard

in the joy of your heart.

(Isaiah 30:19, 30)

Psalm 85

Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.

Gospel Acclamation:

Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths:

all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

(Luke 3:4, 6)

Communion Antiphon:

Jerusalem, arise and stand upon the heights,

and behold the joy which comes to you from God.

(Baruch 5:5; 4:36)
