Find the Missal (Ordinary of the Mass) at 150 in Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song First Reading MI 5:1-4A

Thus says the LORD: You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who

is to be ruler in Israel; whose origin is from of old, from ancient times. Therefore the Lord will give them up, until the time when she

who is to give birth has borne, and the rest of his kindred shall return to the children of Israel. He shall stand firm and shepherd his

flock by the strength of the LORD, in the majestic name of the LORD, his God; and they shall remain, for now his greatness shall

reach to the ends of the earth; he shall be peace.

Responsorial Psalm PS 80:2-3, 15-16, 18-19. R. (4) Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved.

Second Reading HEB 10:5-10

Brothers and sisters: When Christ came into the world, he said: "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for

me; in holocausts and sin offerings you took no delight. Then I said, 'As is written of me in the scroll, behold, I come to do your will, O

God.'" First he says, "Sacrifices and offerings, holocausts and sin offerings, you neither desired nor delighted in." These are offered

according to the law. Then he says, :Behold, I come to do your will." He takes away the first to establish the second. By this "will," we

have been consecrated through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Gospel LK 1:39-45

Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted

Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out

in a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me,

that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb

leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled."

El Misal (Ordinario de la Misa) esta en Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song a Partir de 150

Primera lectura Miq 5, 1-4a

Esto dice el Señor: "De ti, Belén de Efrata, pequeña entre las aldeas de Judá, de ti saldrá el jefe de Israel, cuyos orígenes se remontan a

tiempos pasados, a los días más antiguos. Por eso, el Señor abandonará a Israel, mientras no dé a luz la que ha de dar a luz. Entonces el

resto de sus hermanos se unirá a los hijos de Israel. Él se levantará para pastorear a su pueblo con la fuerza y la majestad del Señor, su

Dios. Ellos habitarán tranquilos, porque la grandeza del que ha de nacer llenará la tierra y él mismo será la paz''.

Salmo Responsorial Salmo 79, 2ac y 3b. 15-16. 18-19 R. (4) Señor, muéstranos tu favor y sálvanos.

Segunda lectura Heb 10, 5-10

Hermanos: Al entrar al mundo, Cristo dijo, conforme al salmo: No quisiste víctimas ni ofrendas; en cambio, me has dado un cuerpo.

No te agradaron los holocaustos ni los sacrificios por el pecado; entonces dije –porque a mí se refiere la Escritura–: "Aquí estoy, Dios

mío; vengo para hacer tu voluntad". Comienza por decir: "No quisiste víctimas ni ofrendas, no te agradaron los holocaustos ni los

sacrificios por el pecado –siendo así que eso es lo que pedía la ley–; y luego añade: "Aquí estoy, Dios mío; vengo para hacer tu

voluntad". Con esto, Cristo suprime los antiguos sacrificios, para establecer el nuevo. Y en virtud de esta voluntad, todos quedamos

santificados por la ofrenda del cuerpo de Jesucristo, hecha una vez por todas.

Evangelio Lc 1, 39-45

En aquellos días, María se encaminó presurosa a un pueblo de las montañas de Judea y, entrando en la casa de Zacarías, saludó a

Isabel. En cuanto ésta oyó el saludo de María, la creatura saltó en su seno. Entonces Isabel quedó llena del Espíritu Santo y,

levantando la voz, exclamó: "¡Bendita tú entre las mujeres y bendito el fruto de tu vientre! ¿Quién soy yo, para que la madre de mi

Señor venga a verme? Apenas llegó tu saludo a mis oídos, el niño saltó de gozo en mi seno. Dichosa tú, que has creído, porque se

cumplirá cuanto te fue anunciado de parte del Señor".
