Fourth Sunday of Advent Year A Responsorial Psalm
Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 24:1-2, 3-4, 5-6
R. (7c and 10b) Let the Lord enter; he is king of glory.
1The LORD’s are the earth and its fullness; the world and those who dwell in it. 2For he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. R. Let the Lord enter; he is king of glory.
3Who can ascend the mountain of the LORD? or who may stand in his holy place? 4One whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean, who desires not what is vain. R. Let the Lord enter; he is king of glory.
5He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, a reward from God his savior. 6Such is the race that seeks for him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.
Fourth Sunday of Advent Year A, Gospel
Gospel – Matthew 1:18-24
18This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.
19Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly.
20Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.
21She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.”
24When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.
