St 5, 7-8. 9b   Aguardad con paciencia, hermanos, hasta la manifestación del Señor. Ved cómo el labrador espera el precioso fruto de la tierra. Lo va aguardando pacientemente, hasta que la tierra reciba las lluvias tempranas y las tardías. Aguardad también vosotros con toda paciencia, fortaleced vuestros corazones, porque la manifestación del Señor está ya cerca. Mirad que el juez está a las puertas.

Gracias te damos, Señor Dios omnipotente,

Isaiah 45:8    Send victory like a dew, you heavens, and let the clouds rain it down. Let the earth open for salvation to spring up. Let deliverance, too, bud forth which I, the Lord, shall create.

The Lord is great in Zion,

he is high above all the people.

Let them proclaim his name – great and terrible it is,

let them proclaim his holy name,

the powerful king, who loves justice.

The laws you establish are just:

you have given Jacob uprightness and right judgment.

Praise the Lord, our God,

worship at his footstool,

for he is holy.

Moses and Aaron were among his prophets,

Samuel was one of those who called on him.

They called on the Lord and he listened,

and from the pillar of cloud, he spoke to them.

They kept his decrees

and the commands he gave them.

Lord our God, you listened to them;

O God, you were gracious to them,

but you punished their wrongdoing.

Praise the Lord, our God,

worship on his holy mountain,

for the Lord our God is holy.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Isaiah 7:14-15    The maiden is with a child and will soon give birth to a son whom she will call Immanuel. On curds and honey will he feed until he knows how to refuse evil and choose good.

Sing a new song to the Lord,

for he has worked wonders.

His right hand, his holy arm,

has brought him victory.

The Lord has shown his saving power,

and before all nations, he has shown his justice.

He has remembered to show his kindness

and his faithfulness to the house of Israel.

The farthest ends of the earth

have seen the saving power of our God.

Rejoice in God, all the earth.

Break forth in triumph and song!

Sing to the Lord on the lyre,

with the lyre, and with music.

With trumpets and the sound of the horn,

sound jubilation to the Lord, our king.

Let the sea resound in its fullness,

all the earth, and all its inhabitants.

The rivers will clap their hands,

and the mountains will exult at the presence of the Lord,

for he comes to judge the earth.

He will judge all the world injustice,

and the people with fairness.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Wisdom 7:13-14    What I learned without self-interest, I pass on without reserve; I do not intend to hide her riches. For she is an inexhaustible treasure to men, and those who acquire her win God’s friendship, commended as they are to him by the benefits of her teaching.

Lord, let your face shed its light upon us.

O God, take pity on us and bless us,

and let your face shine upon us,

so that your ways may be known across the world,

and all nations learn of your salvation.

Let the peoples praise you, O God,

let all the peoples praise you.

Let the nations be glad and rejoice,

for you judge the peoples with fairness

and you guide the nations of the earth.

Let the peoples praise you, O God,

let all the peoples praise you.

The earth has produced its harvest:

may God, our God, bless us.

May God bless us,

may the whole world revere him.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

2 Corinthians 1:3-5    Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, a gentle Father and the God of all consolation, who comforts us in all our sorrows, so that we can offer others, in their sorrows, the consolation that we have received from God ourselves. Indeed, as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so, through Christ, does our consolation overflow.

Bring to the Lord, clans of the peoples,

bring to the Lord glory and power,

bring to the Lord the glory that belongs to his name.

Bring your offerings, enter his courts,

worship the Lord in holy attire.

Tremble at his presence, all the earth.

Say to the nations: “The Lord reigns!”

For he has set the world firm so that it cannot be shaken,

and he will judge the people with fairness.

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad,

let the sea and its fullness resound.

The fields will rejoice, and all that is in them,

all the trees of the woods will rejoice

at the Lord’s presence – for he comes,

for he comes to judge the earth.

He will judge all the world with justice.

He will judge all the people with fairness.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Romans 13:11-12    You know ‘the time’ has come: you must wake up now: our salvation is even nearer than it was when we were converted. The night is almost over, it will be daylight soon – let us give up all the things we prefer to do under cover of the dark; let us arm ourselves and appear in the light.

I will give salvation to Sion, I will bring my glory to Jerusalem. Alleluia.

Praise the Lord from the heavens,

praise Him in the highest heavens.

Praise him, all his angels;

praise him, all his powers.

Praise him, sun and moon,

praise him, all stars that shine.

Praise him, waters of the heavens,

and all the waters above the heavens.

Let them praise the name of the Lord,

for he commanded and they were made.

He set them firm for all ages,

he made a decree that will last forever.

Praise the Lord from the earth,

sea-serpents and depths of the sea,

fire, hail, snow and fog,

storms and gales that obey his word,

mountains and hills,

fruit trees and cedars,

wild beasts and tame,

serpents and birds.

Kings of the earth, all peoples,

all leaders and judges of the earth,

young men and women,

old people with the young –

praise the name of the Lord,

for his name alone is exalted.

His splendor is above heaven and earth,

he has raised up the strength of his people.

This song is for all his chosen ones,

the children of Israel, the people close to him.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.
