LessonLectio Isaiae Prophetae.
In diebus illis: Locutus est Dominus ad Achaz dicens pete tibi signum a Domino Deo tuo in profundum inferni sive in excelsum supra et dixit Achaz non petam et non temptabo Dominum. Et dixit audite ergo domus David numquid parum vobis est molestos esse hominibus quia molesti estis et Deo meo? Propter hoc dabit Dominus ipse vobis signum. Ecce virgo concipiet et pariet filium et vocabitis nomen eius Emmanuel. Butyrum et mel comedet, ut sciat reprobare malum et eligere bonum.

In illo temporare: in mense autem sexto, missus est angelus Gabriel a Deo in civitatem Galilææ, cui nomen Nazareth, ad virginem desponsatam viro, cui nomen erat Joseph, de domo David, et nomen virginis Maria. Et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit: Ave gratia plena: Dominus tecum: benedicta tu in mulieribus. Quæ cum audisset, turbata est in sermone ejus, et cogitabat qualis esset ista salutatio. Et ait angelus ei: Ne timeas Maria, invenisti enim gratiam apud Deum: ecce concipies in utero, et paries filium, et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum: hic erit magnus, et Filius Altissimi vocabitur, et dabit illi Dominus Deus sedem David patris ejus: et regnabit in domo Jacob in æternum, et regni ejus non erit finis. Dixit autem Maria ad angelum: Quomodo fiet istud, quoniam virum non cognosco ? Et respondens angelus dixit ei: Spiritus Sanctus superveniet in te, et virtus Altissimi obumbrabit tibi. Ideoque et quod nascetur ex te sanctum, vocabitur Filius Dei. Et ecce Elisabeth cognata tua, et ipsa concepit filium in senectute sua: et hic mensis sextus est illi, quæ vocatur sterilis: quia non erit impossibile apud Deum omne verbum.

VersicleMy heart hath uttered a good word:
ResponseI speak my works to the King.
VersicleGlory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit:
ResponseAs it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
ANTIPHON (repeat) All the rich among the people shall entreat Thy countenance: after her shall virgins be brought to the King: her neighbors shall be brought to Thee in gladness and rejoicing. (Psalm 44: 13, 15, 16; Psalm 44: 2)
CollectO God, who didst will that Thy Word should take flesh, at the message of an Angel, in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, grant to Thy suppliant people, that we who believe her to be truly the Mother of God, may be helped by her intercession with Thee. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
ResponseAmen. (Psalm 44: 13, 15, 16; Psalm 44: 2)
LessonToday’s lesson is from the Prophet Isaias.
In those days the Lord spoke to Achaz, saying: Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God, either unto the depth of hell, or unto the height above. And Achaz said: I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord. And He said: hear ye therefore, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to be grievous to men, that you are grievous to my God also? Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Behold a Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and His Name shall be called Emmanuel. He shall eat butter and honey, that He may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.
Here ends today’s lesson.
ResponseThanks be to God. (Isaias 7: 10-15)
GradualVersicleGrace is poured abroad in thy lips;
Responsetherefore hath God blessed thee forever.

ResponseAll the rich shall entreat thy countenance: the daughters of kings in thine honor.
VersicleAfter her shall virgins be brought to the King: her neighbors shall be brought to thee.
ResponseThey shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: they shall be brought into the temple of the King. (Psalm 44: 11, 12)
GospelThe Lord be with you.
ResponseAnd with your spirit.
Cross The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Luke.
ResponseGlory CrossCrossCross to Thee, O Lord
At that time: And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David: and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. Who having heard, was troubled at his saying and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of David His father: and He shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. And of His kingdom there shall be no end. And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man? And the angel answering, said to her: the Holy Spirit shall come upon thee and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren. Because no word shall be impossible with God. And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy word.
The Gospel of the Lord.
ResponsePraise be to Thee, O Christ. (Luke 1: 26-28)
OffertoryHail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women and blessed in the fruit of thy womb. (Luke 1: 28,42)
SecretMay the offering of our service and the prayer of the blessed Archangel Gabriel be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord; that he whom we venerate on earth, may be our advocate before Thee in Heaven. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.
ResponseAmen. (Luke 1: 28,42)
Preface
(Annunciation)
It it truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: and that we should praise and bless, and proclaim Thee, in the Annunciation of the Blessed Mary, ever-Virgin: Who also conceived Thine only-begotten Son by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit, and the glory of her virginity still abiding, gave forth to the world the everlasting Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Domina-tions worship it, and the Powers stand in awe. the Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise... Holy, Holy, Holy...
Communio VerseBehold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and His Name shall be called Emmanuel. (Isaias 7: 14)
Post-Communion PrayerHaving partaken in the mysteries of Thy Body and Blood, we implore Thy clemency, O Lord our God; that we to whom Thy clememcy, O Lord our God; that we to whom Thine Incarnation was made known by the message of Gabriel, may likewise obtain through his help the benefits of that same Incarnation. Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
ResponseAmen. (Isaias 7: 14)

About the information (below)

This information applies to the Diocese of Texas. If you are outside the diocese, the details
you see here are fairly standard throughout the western church. However, your bishop's rules may vary.
Diversity it worderful. These rules point to diversity. Neither we nor your bishop is "right" or "correct" ot "better."

Note on candles

The listing calendar items shows how many additional candles. Here are the rules for the base set of candles.

Use 2for priest celebrant, no incense
Use 4for priest celebrant, no incense
Use 6for any celebrant using incense
Add 1 if the celebrant is the Ordinary

Note on liturgical colors

Parishes and priests only need two colors: white and purple. White can substitute for every color, except purple.

WHITEUsed at Christmas, Easter, and other joyful celebrations. May be used at funerals, ordinations.
REDDays of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles, and memorials of martyrs.
ADVENT PURPLEThis is blueish purple. Use during advent. If you cannot afford both purple hues, use whichever you have.
LENT PURPLEThis is red-purple. You may use lent purple at funerals, but that tradition is basically dead (so to speak).
GREENGreen is the "none of the above" color. If you don't have specific instructions on color, then the color is green.
ROSEUse on Gaudete and Laetare Sundays
BLUEAny Mass for/about the Blessed Virgin Mary
BLACKGood Friday and Funerals.
GOLDAt a mammoth occasion (eg., ordination, Christmas, Easter, etc.), gold is fine.
SILVERWe don't use silver or any other color not mentioned.
