| | Lesson | Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Romános. 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. Hæc fuit epistula.
Deo Gratias. (Romans 13: 11-14)

Et cum spiritu tuo. Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam.
Gloria   tibi, Domine In illo tempore: Dixit Jeus discipulis Suis: “Erunt signa in sole, et luna, et stellis; et in terris pressúra géntium præ confusióne sónitus maris et fiúctuum: arescéntibus homínibus præ timóre et exspectatióne, quæ super vénient univérso orbi: nam vírtútes coelórum movebúntur; et tunc vidébunt Fílium hóminis veniéntem in nube cum potestáte magna et majestáte. 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.” Evangélium Dómini.
Laus Tibi, Christe. (Luke 21: 25-33)

| | Gospel | The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit. The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Glory   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.
Praise be to Thee, O Christ. (Luke 21: 25-33)

| 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...

Amen. (Psalm 84: 13)

Diversity it worderful. These rules point to diversity. Neither we nor your bishop is "right" or "correct" ot "better."
