\nENTRANCE ANTIPHON
\nMR
\nCome, Lord, You who are enthroned upon the cherubim,
\nshow us Your face and we shall be saved (Ps 79:4, 2).
\nCOLLECT
\nO God, Who, for the liberation of the human race

\nGENERAL INTERCESSIONS
\nFor the Church in Mexico and throughout the Americas;
\nthat her shepherds may preach the kingdom of heaven,
\nheal the sick, raise the dead,
\ncleanse lepers, and cast out demons,
\nlet us pray in silence \u2014 for the Lord is near. (Pause for silence.)
\nFor world leaders;
\nthat they may acknowledge God
\nas Judge, Ruler, and King,
\nand so seek the things that make for peace
\nlet us pray in silence \u2014 for the Lord is near. (Pause for silence.)
\nFor the lonely, the fearful, the bereaved, and the sick;
\nthat, attentive to the experience of Saint Juan Diego,
\nthat may turn to the Mother of Christ
\nfor comfort in every affliction,
\nlight in every darkness,
\nand hope in every trial,
\nlet us pray in silence \u2014 for the Lord is near. (Pause for silence.)
\nFor those who, like Saint Juan Diego,
\nlive in the widowed state,
\nthat they may draw closer to the Blessed Virgin Mary
\nand hear her say to them,
\n“Am I not here who am your Mother?”
\nlet us pray in silence \u2014 for the Lord is near. (Pause for silence.)
\nFor ourselves;
\nthat during these days of Advent
\nmarked by the presence of the Virgin Mary,
\nwe may attend to her every counsel and inspiration,
\nlet us pray in silence \u2014 for the Lord is near. (Pause for silence.)
\nCOLLECT AT THE GENERAL INTERCESSIONS
\nAlmighty and ever-living God,
\nlook with mercy upon us, exiled children of Eve,
\nas once You looked upon Saint Juan Diego
\nand, by the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
\ncause this valley of tears to resound
\nwith the jubilant praise of Your compassion.
\nThrough Christ our Lord.
\nOr
\nO Lord our God,
\nWho through Saint Juan Diego
\nmade known the love of Our Lady of Guadalupe
\ntoward Your people,
\ngrant, we beseech you, by his intercession
\nthat by following the counsels
\nof the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother,
\nwe may at all times seek to do Your will.
\nThrough Christ our Lord.
\nOFFERTORY ANTIPHON
\nGR
\nUnto you have I lifted up my soul. O my God, I trust in you, let me not be put to shame; do not allow my enemies to laugh at me; for none of those who are awaiting you will be disappointed (Ps 24:1\u20133).
\nPRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
\nLord, may the sacrifice by which we give ourselves to You
\nbe a ceaseless offering,
\nthat Your purpose may be fulfilled
\nby these holy mysteries,
\nand Your salvation accomplished mightily within us.
\nThrough Christ our Lord.
\nPREFACE

\nTruly it is right and just, our duty and our salvation,
\nalways, here and everywhere to give You thanks,
\nLord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God,
\nthrough Jesus Christ our Lord.
\nBy the advent of His light
\nHe scattered the darkness of this world
\nand in Himself has revealed to us the way of truth
\nby which we walk
\ntoward the blessedness of eternal life.
\nAnd so, with all the angels we give you glory,
\nin this, their joyful hymn of praise:

\nthat these divine gifts
\nmay so cleanse us from sin,
