Blessed Virgin Mary; First Saturday of the Month

Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 50 Those Working at a Distance or Traveling
Mass: Rev 22:1-7; Resp Ps 95 (1 Co 16:22b; see Rev 22:20c); Lk 21:34-36

Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy with carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap.

The First Saturday of the Month; the day before the First Sunday of Advent, we pray for one another. For perseverance and faithfulness as we keep our eyes fixed on Christ.

Marana tha! Come, Lord Jesus!
(Resp Ps Refrain, Mass)

For those who are yours you are aid in oppression, help in the time of crisis, temperance in prosperity, joy in time of waiting, refreshment in toil.
(Adam of Perseigne, Mary the Most Holy)

Hail, Holy Mother, who gave birth to the King who rules heaven and earth for ever.
(Entrance Antiphon, Mass)
