This is the last week of Advent so all the candles are lit.
I love the Entrance Antiphon: "Drop down dew from above, you heavens, and let the clouds rain down the Just One; let the earth be opened and bring forth a Savior."
In the Collect, we ask the Lord to pour forth His grace into our hearts..."
The first reading is from the Prophet Isaiah 7:10-14 It ends telling us that the "Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall name himhe second Emmanuel."
Responsorial Psalm: "Let the Lord enter; he is king of glory."
The second reading is from the Letter of Paul to the Romans: 1:1-7
The Gospel is from Matthew 1:18-24 where Joseph is told in a dream not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife for it is through the Holy Spirit that the child has been conceived . . . "
