Our Morning Offering – 1 December – First Sunday of Advent, Year A
Come, O Long-Expected Jesus
Breviary Lauds Hymn
First Sunday Advent
Come, O long-expected Jesus,
Born to set Thy people free,
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel’s strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art,
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a king,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone,
By Thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
Sunday Mass my friend, Matt, sang the Breviary in Latin. He did very well and I told him so. The choir sang Veni, Veni Emmanuel which also is very moving in Latin. My eyes just leaked a little bit.

That sounds beautiful – you will miss Latin Mass here but our daily Mass is stupendously enriching.
