In the Name of the Father, + and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,

Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Salve Regina
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
hail our light, our sweetness and our hope.
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy towards us
and after this, our exile, show unto us
the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
The Memorare
Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that it is a thing unheard of
that anyone who had recourse to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession,
was left forsaken.
Filled therefore with confidence in your goodness,
I fly to you, O Mother, Virgin of virgins.
To you I come;
before you I stand a sorrowful sinner.
Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word,
but graciously hear and grant my prayer.
Prayer to your Guardian Angel
O Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day/night be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide.

December 7th, 2014 Second Sunday of Advent Mark 1:1-8
This is the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It began just as God had said in the book written by Isaiah the prophet,
“I am sending my messenger to get the way ready for you. In the desert someone is shouting, ‘Get the road ready for the Lord! Make a straight path for him.’” So John the Baptist showed up in the desert and told everyone, “Turn back to God and be baptized! Then your sins will be forgiven.” From all Judea and from Jerusalem crowds of people went to John. They told how sorry they were for their sins, and he baptized them in the Jordan River. John wore clothes made of camel’s hair. He had a leather strap around his waist and ate grasshoppers and wild honey.
John also told the people, “Someone more powerful is going to come. And I am not good enough even to stoop down and untie his sandals. I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit!”
