Fratres: Sciéntes qula hors est jam nos de somno súrgere. Nunc enim pro pior est nostra salus, quam cum credidimus. Nox prascéssit, dies autem appropinquàvit. Abjiciamus ergo opera tenebrarum, et induamur arma lucis. Sicut in die honéste ambulémus: non in comessationibus et ebrietétibus, non in cubilibus, et impudicítiis, non in contentions et kemutatione: sed induímini Dominum Jesum Christum.

His autem fíeri incipiéntibus, respícite et leváte cápita vestra; quóniam appropínquat redémptio vestra.” Et dixit illis similitúdinem: “Vidéte ficúlneam, et omnes árbores: cum prodúcunt jam ex se fructum, scitis quóniam prope est æastas. Ita et vos cum vidéritis hæc fíeri, scitóte quóniam prope est regnum Dei, Amen, dico vobis: quia non præteríbit generátio hæc, donec ómnia fiant. Coelum et terra transibunt: verba autem Mea non transíbunt.”

Dum ergo prope est ut véniat quem missúrus es, et dies affúlget liberatiónis nostræ, in hac promissiónum tuárum fide, piis gáudiis exsultámus. Et ídeo cum Ángelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus, cumque omni milítia cæléstis exércitus, hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes... sanctus, sanctus

Brethren, knowing that it is now the hour for us to rise from our sleep. for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. the night is past and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light.

ResponseGlory CrossCrossCross to Thee, O Lord
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: “There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves: men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of Heaven shall be moved. And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and majesty. But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.” And He spoke to them a similitude: “See the fig tree and all the trees: when they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh. So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand. Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away till all things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.
The Gospel of the Lord.

Preface
(Advent)
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we do well always and everywhere to give You thanks through Jesus Christ our Lord. When He humbled Himself to come among us as a human being, He fulfilled the plan You formed long ago and opened for us the way to salvation. Now we watch for the day, hoping that the salvation promised us will be ours when Christ our Lord will come again in His glory. And so, with all the choirs of angels in heaven we proclaim Your glory and join in their unending hymn of praise... Holy, Holy, Holy...
Communio VerseThe Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit. (Psalm 84: 13)
Post-Communion PrayerMay we receive, O Lord, Thy mercy in the midst of Thy temple, that we may prepare with due honor for the approaching feast of our redemption. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
ResponseAmen. (Psalm 84: 13)

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.
