| | Collect | Omnipotens sempiterna Deus, majestatem, tuam supplices exoramus: ut, sicut unigentius Filius tuus hodierna die cum nostrae carnis substantia in templo est praesentatur: ita nos facias purificatis tibi mentibus praesentari.

| | Lesson | Lectio Malachiae Prophetae.
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego mitto Angelum meum, et praeparabit viam ante faciem meam. Et statim veniet ad templum suum Dominator, quem vos quaeritis, et Angelus testamenti, quem vos vultis. Ecce venit, dicit Dominus exercituum: et quis poterit cogitare diem adventus ejus, et quis stabit ad videndum eum? Ipse enim quasi ignis conflans, et quasi herba fullonum: et sedebit conflans, et emundans argentums, et purgabit filios Levi et colabit eos quasi autum et quasi argentums: et erunt Domino offerentes sacrificial in justitia. Et placebit Domino sacrificium Juda, et Jerusalem, sicut dies saeculi, et sicut anni antique: dicit Dominus Omnipotens.
Hæc fuit epistula.
Deo Gratias. (Malachias 3. 1-4)
| | Gradual | Suscepimus, Deus, misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui:
Secundum nomen tuum Deus, ita et laus tua in fines terrae.
Sicut audivimus ita et vidimus,
in civitate Dei nostri, in monte sancto ejus. (Psalm 47: 10, 11, 9)
| | Gospel | Dominus vobiscum.
Et cum spiritu tuo.
 Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam
Gloria tibi, Domine
In illo tempore: Postsquam impleti sunt dies purgationis Mariae, secundum legem Moysi, tulerunt Jesum in Jerusalem, ut sisterent eum Domino, sicut Scriptum est in lege Domini: Quia omne masculinum adaperiens vulvam sanctum Domino vocabitur. Et ut darent hostiam secundum quod dictum est in lege Domini, par turturum. Et ecce homo erat in Jerusalem, cui nomen Simeon, et exspectans consolationem Israel, et Spiritus Sanctus erat a Spiritu Sancto, non visurum se mortem, nisi prius videret Christum Domini. Et venit in spiritu in templum. Et cum inducerent puerum Jesus parentes ejus, ut facerent secundum consuetudinem legis pro eo: et ipse accepit eum in ulnas suas, et benedixit Deum, et dixit: ‘Nunc dimittis servum Tuum, Domine, secumdum verbum Tuum in pace: quia viderunt oculi mei salutare Tuum, quod parasti ante faciem omnium propulorum: lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis Tuae Israel.’
Evangélium Dómini.
Laus Tibi, Christe. (Luke 2, 22- 32)
| | Offertory | Diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis: proptera benedixit te Deus in æternum, et in saeculum saeculi. (Psalm 44: 3)
| | Secret | Exaudi, Domine, preces nostras: et, ut digna sint Munera, quae oculis tuae majetatis offerimus, subsidim nobis tuae pietatis impende. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Filium Tuum, Qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, Per omnia s?cula sæculórum.
Amen. (Psalm 44: 3)
| | Communio Verse | Responsum accepit Simeon a Spiritu Sancto, non visurum se mortem, nisi videret Christum Domini. (Luke 2: 26)
| | Post-Communion Prayer | Quaesumus, Domine Deus noster: ut sacrosancta mysteria, quae pro reparationis nostrae munimine contulisti, intercedente beata Maria semper Virgine, et praesens nobis remedium esse facias, et futurum.

ENGLISH| Introit | ANTIPHON We have received Thy Mercy, O God, in the midst of Thy temple; according to Thy Name, O God, so also is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of justice.
Great is the Lord and exceedingly to be praised:
In the city of God, in His Holy Mountain.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit:
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
ANTIPHON (repeat) We have received Thy Mercy, O God, in the midst of Thy temple; according to Thy Name, O God, so also is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of justice. (Psalm 47: 10, 11; Psalm 47: 2)
| | Collect | O almighty and everlasting God, we humbly beseech Thy majesty; that as Thine only-begotten Son was this day presented in the temple in the substance of our flesh, so too Thou wouldst grant us to be presented unto Thee with purified souls. Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen. (Psalm 47: 10, 11; Psalm 47: 2)
| | Lesson | Today’s lesson is from the Prophet Malachias.
Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I send My Angel, and he shall prepare the way before My face; and presently the Lord, whom you seek, and the Angel of the Testament, whom you desire, shall come to His temple. Behold He cometh, saith the Lord of Hosts; and who shall be able to think of the day of His coming? and who shall stand to see Him? for He is like a refining fire, and like the fuller’s herb; and he shall sit refining and cleansing the silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and shall refine them as gold, and as silver, and they shall offer sacrifices to the Lord in justice. And the sacrifice of Juda and of Jerusalem shall please the Lord, as in the days of old, and in the ancient years; saith the Lord almighty.
Here ends today’s lesson.
Thanks be to God. (Malachias 3. 1-4)
| | Gradual | We have received Thy Mercy, O God, in the midst of Thy temple;
according to Thy Name, O God, so also is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth.
As we have heard, so have we seen,
In the city of our God, and in His holy mountains. (Psalm 47: 10, 11, 9)
| | Gospel | The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Luke.
Glory to Thee, O Lord
At that time, after the days of Mary’s purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried Jesus to Jerusalem, to present Him to the Lord; as it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; and to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons. And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was in him: and he had received an answer from the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when His parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, he also took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said: ‘Now Thou dost dismiss Thy servant, O Lord, according to Thy word in peace; because my eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples; a light to the revelation of the Gentiles and the glory of Thy people Israel.’
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise be to Thee, O Christ. (Luke 2, 22- 32)
| | Offertory | Grace is poured abroad in thy lips: therefore hath God blessed thee for ever, and for ages and ages. (Psalm 44: 3)
| | Secret | Graciously hear our prayers, O Lord; and that the gifts we offer in the sight of Thy majesty may be found worthy, extend to us the help of Thy mercy. 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.
Amen. (Psalm 44: 3)
| | Communio Verse | Simeon received an answer from the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, until he had seen the Christ of the Lord. (Luke 2: 26)
| | Post-Communion Prayer | We beseech Thee, O Lord our God, that by the intercession of blessed Mary ever Virgin, Thou wouldst make the most holy mysteries, which Thou hast conferred upon us for the preservation of our spiritual life, both a present and future remedy. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son Who livest and reignest with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen. (Luke 2: 26)

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 2 | for priest celebrant, no incense |
| Use 4 | for priest celebrant, no incense |
| Use 6 | for 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.
| WHITE | Used at Christmas, Easter, and other joyful celebrations. May be used at funerals, ordinations. |
| RED | Days of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles, and memorials of martyrs. |
| ADVENT PURPLE | This is blueish purple. Use during advent. If you cannot afford both purple hues, use whichever you have. |
| LENT PURPLE | This is red-purple. You may use lent purple at funerals, but that tradition is basically dead (so to speak). |
| GREEN | Green is the "none of the above" color. If you don't have specific instructions on color, then the color is green. |
| ROSE | Use on Gaudete and Laetare Sundays |
| BLUE | Any Mass for/about the Blessed Virgin Mary |
| BLACK | Good Friday and Funerals. |
| GOLD | At a mammoth occasion (eg., ordination, Christmas, Easter, etc.), gold is fine. |
