Queenship of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary
First Reading: Isaiah 9: 1-6
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 113:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8
Holy Gospel: Luke 1: 26-38
Holy Gospel:
26 In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth. He was sent 27 to a young virgin who was betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the family of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 The angel came to her and said, “Rejoice, full of grace, the Lord is with you.” 29 Mary was troubled at these words, wondering what this greeting could mean.
30 But the angel said, “Do not fear, Mary, for God has looked kindly on you. 31 You shall conceive and bear a son and you shall call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and shall rightly be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the kingdom of David, his ancestor; he will rule over the people of Jacob forever 33 and his reign shall have no end.”
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be if I am a virgin?” 35 And the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore, the holy child to be born shall be called Son of God. 36 Even your relative Elizabeth is expecting a son in her old age, although she was unable to have a child, and she is now in her sixth month. 37 With God nothing is impossible.”
38 Then Mary said, “I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done to me as you have said.” And the angel left her.
First Reading:
1 The people who walk in darkness
have seen a great light.
A light has dawned
on those who live in the land of the shadow of death.
2 You have enlarged the nation;
you have increased their joy.
They rejoice before you,
as people rejoice at harvest time
as they rejoice in dividing the spoil.
3 For the yoke of their burden,
the bar across their shoulders,
the rod of their oppressors,
you have broken it as on the day of Midian.
4 Every warrior’s boot that tramped in war,
every cloak rolled in blood,
will be thrown out for burning,
will serve as fuel for the fire.
5 For a child is born to us,
a son is given us;
the royal ornament is laid upon his shoulder,
and his name is proclaimed:
“Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
6 To the increase of his powerful rule
in peace, there will be no end.
Vast will be his dominion,
he will reign on David’s throne
and over all his kingdom,
to establish and uphold it
with justice and righteousness
from this time onward and forever.
The zealous love of Yahweh Sabaoth will do this.
Responsorial Psalm:
Blessed be the Name of the Lord for ever.
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord
now and forever!
3 From eastern lands to the western islands,
may the name of the Lord be praised!
4 The Lord is exalted over the nations,
his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God,
who sits enthroned on high,
6 but also bends down to see
on earth as in heaven?
7 He lifts up the poor from the dust
and the needy from the ash heap.
8 He makes them sit with princes,
with rulers of his people.
