Brothers and Sisters:
After 3 days, I’ve concluded the only way I’m going to do my Advent Scripture Reading is to post it here…
Almighty God, Give us grace that we cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armor of light, now in that time of this mortal life, in which Thy Son, JESUS Christ came to visit us in great humility, that in the last day, when He shall come again in glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to life immortal; through Him Who liveth and reinethwith Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen
These are the readings for the First Sunday in Advent, According to the Old Calendar:
The First Sunday in Advent has been known as “DOOM SUNDAY” from the Early Middle Ages. This reading may have been one people would have heard during the course of the day.
The Prophetic Lesson is taken from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah.
*Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; as destruction from the Almighty it will come! Therefore all hands will be feeble, and every man’s heart will melt, and they will be dismayed. Pangs and agony will seize them; they will be in anguish like a woman in travail. They will look aghast at one another; their faces will be aflame.
Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the earth a desolation and to destroy its sinners from it. For the stars of the heavens and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be dark at its rising and the moon will not shed its light.
I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant, and lay low the haughtiness of the ruthless. I will make men more rare than fine gold, and mankind than the gold of Ophir. Therefore, I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place, at the wrath of the LORD of hosts in the day of his fierce anger. Ezekiel 13:6-13 RSV*
Here endeth the Lesson.
In Christ, Michael
