Saturday Lauds Morning Prayer Week 2 Advent Season

Isaiah 11:1-3    A shoot springs from the stock of Jesse, a scion thrusts from his roots: on him, the spirit of the Lord rests, a spirit of wisdom and insight, a spirit of counsel and power, a spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is his delight.

How great is your name, Lord, through all the earth.

How wonderful is your name over all the earth,

O Lord, our Lord!

How exalted is your glory

above the sky!

Out of the mouths of children and infants, you have brought praise,

to confound your enemies, to destroy your vengeful foes.

When I see the heavens, the work of your fingers,

the moon and stars, which you set in their place –

what is man, that you should take thought for him?

what is the son of man, that you should look after him?

You have made him but one step lower than the angels;

you have crowned him with glory and honor;

you have set him over the works of your hands.

You have put everything beneath his feet,

cattle and sheep and the beasts of the field,

the birds in the air and the fish in the sea,

whatever passes along the paths of the waters.

How wonderful is your name above all the earth,

O Lord, our Lord!

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.

2Pe 3,8b-9   Para el Señor un día es como mil años, y mil años como un día. No es tardo el Señor en el cumplimiento de sus promesas, como algunos piensan. Lo que hace es aguardarnos pacientemente, porque no quiere que nadie perezca, sino que todos vengáis a arrepentiros.

Grandes y maravillosas son tus obras,

Jeremiah 30:21,22    The Lord says this: Their prince will come from Jacob, their ruler come from their own people. I will let him come freely into my presence and he can come close to me. And you shall be my people and I will be your God.

O praise the Lord, Jerusalem.†

Praise the Lord, Jerusalem

— Zion, praise your God.

For he has strengthened the bars of your gates,

he has blessed your children.

He keeps your borders in peace,

he fills you with the richest wheat.

He sends out his command over the earth

and swiftly runs his word.

He sends down snow that is like wool,

frost that is like ashes.

He sends hailstones like crumbs

— who can withstand his cold?

He will send out his word, and all will be melted;

his spirit will breathe, and the waters will flow.

He proclaims his word to Jacob,

his laws, and his judgments to Israel.

He has not done this for other nations:

he has not shown them his judgments.

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.

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.

Él librará al pobre que clamaba,

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.

If my people had heard me,

if only they had walked in my ways –

I would swiftly have crushed their enemies,

stretched my hand over those who persecuted them.

The enemies of the Lord would be overcome with weakness,

Israel’s would be the good fortune, forever:

I would feed them full of the richest wheat

and give them honey from the rock,

to their heart’s content.

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 43:1    But now the Lord speaks, who created you, Jacob, who formed you, Israel: ‘Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name, you are mine.

Fragrant is the scent of your perfume, immaculate Virgin. Let us follow in your footsteps!

Sing a new song to the Lord,

his praise in the assembly of the faithful.

Let Israel rejoice in its maker,

and the sons of Zion delight in their king.

Let them praise his name with dancing,

sing to him with timbrel and lyre,

for the Lord’s favor is upon his people,

and he will honor the humble with victory.

Let the faithful celebrate his glory,

rejoice even in their beds,

the praise of God in their throats;

and swords ready in their hands,

to exact vengeance upon the nations,

impose punishment on the peoples,

to bind their kings in fetters

and their nobles in manacles of iron,

to carry out the sentence that has been passed:

this is the glory prepared for all his faithful.

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.

The river of God is filled with water,

as you prepare the harvest:

for thus you have prepared the land,

watering its furrows,

smoothing its roughnesses,

softening it with showers,

blessing the seeds within it.

You have crowned the year with your kindness.

Your footsteps will drip with fruitfulness.

The desert pastures will be soaked,

the hills will be wrapped in rejoicing.

The fields will be clothed with flocks,

the vales overflow with corn.

They will cry out, and sing your praise.

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.
