THE LITURGY OF THE WORD

FIRST READING (제 1독서)

A Reading from the Book of Malachi 3:1-4

Thus says the Lord GOD:

Lo, I am sending my messenger

    to prepare the way before me;

And suddenly there will come to the temple

    the LORD whom you seek,

And the messenger of the covenant whom you desire.

    Yes, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.

But who will endure the day of his coming?

    And who can stand when he appears?

For he is like the refiner’s fire,

    or like the fuller’s lye.

He will sit refining and purifying silver,

    and he will purify the sons of Levi,

Refining them like gold or like silver

    that they may offer due sacrifice to the LORD.

Then the sacrifice of Judah and Jerusalem

    will please the LORD,

    as in the days of old, as in years gone by.

The word of the Lord.  ◎ Thanks be to God.

제1독서

<너희가 찾던 주님, 그가 자기 성전으로 오리라.>

▥ 말라키 예언서의 말씀입니다.3,1-4

주 하느님께서 이렇게 말씀하신다.

1 “보라, 내가 나의 사자를 보내니 그가 내 앞에서 길을 닦으리라.

너희가 찾던 주님, 그가 홀연히 자기 성전으로 오리라.

너희가 좋아하는 계약의 사자

보라, 그가 온다. ─ 만군의 주님께서 말씀하신다. ─

2 그가 오는 날을 누가 견디어 내며

그가 나타날 때에 누가 버티고 서 있을 수 있겠느냐?

그는 제련사의 불 같고 염색공의 잿물 같으리라.

3 그는 은 제련사와 정련사처럼 앉아

레위의 자손들을 깨끗하게 하고

그들을 금과 은처럼 정련하여

주님에게 의로운 제물을 바치게 하리라.

4 그러면 유다와 예루살렘의 제물이 옛날처럼,

지난날처럼 주님 마음에 들리라.”

SECOND READING (제 2독서)

A reading from the letter to the Hebrews 2:14-18

Since the children share in blood and flesh,

Jesus likewise shared in them,

that through death he might destroy the one

who has the power of death, that is, the Devil,

and free those who through fear of death

had been subject to slavery all their life.

Surely he did not help angels

but rather the descendants of Abraham;

therefore, he had to become like his brothers and sisters

in every way,

that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest before God

to expiate the sins of the people.

Because he himself was tested through what he suffered,

he is able to help those who are being tested.

The word of the Lord.  ◎Thanks be to God.

제2독서

<예수님께서는 모든 점에서 형제들과 같아지셔야 했습니다.>

▥ 히브리서의 말씀입니다.2,14-18

14 자녀들이 피와 살을 나누었듯이,

예수님께서도 그들과 함께 피와 살을 나누어 가지셨습니다.

그것은 죽음의 권능을 쥐고 있는 자 곧 악마를 당신의 죽음으로 파멸시키시고,

15 죽음의 공포 때문에 한평생 종살이에 얽매여 있는 이들을

풀어 주시려는 것이었습니다.

16 그분께서는 분명 천사들을 보살펴 주시는 것이 아니라,

아브라함의 후손들을 보살펴 주십니다.

17 그렇기 때문에 그분께서는 모든 점에서 형제들과 같아지셔야 했습니다.

자비로울 뿐만 아니라 하느님을 섬기는 일에 충실한 대사제가 되시어,

백성의 죄를 속죄하시려는 것이었습니다.

18 그분께서는 고난을 겪으시면서 유혹을 받으셨기 때문에,

유혹을 받는 이들을 도와주실 수가 있습니다.

GOSPEL (복음)

+ The Lord be with you. 

○ And with your spirit. 

+ A reading from the holy Gospel according to ... 

○ Glory to you, O Lord. 

+ A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 2:22-32 <33-40>

When the days were completed for their purification

according to the law of Moses,

Mary and Joseph took Jesus up to Jerusalem

to present him to the Lord,

just as it is written in the law of the Lord,

Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord

,

and to offer the sacrifice of

a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons,

in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord. 

Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon.

This man was righteous and devout,

awaiting the consolation of Israel,

and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit

that he should not see death

before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. 

He came in the Spirit into the temple;

and when the parents brought in the child Jesus

to perform the custom of the law in regard to him,

he took him into his arms and blessed God, saying:

    “Now, Master, you may let your servant go 

        in peace, according to your word,

    for my eyes have seen your salvation,

        which you prepared in the sight of all the peoples:

    a light for revelation to the Gentiles,

        and glory for your people Israel.”

<The child’s father and mother were amazed at what was said about him;

and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother,

“Behold, this child is destined

for the fall and rise of many in Israel,

and to be a sign that will be contradicted

-and you yourself a sword will pierce-

so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

There was also a prophetess, Anna,

the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher.

She was advanced in years,

having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage,

and then as a widow until she was eighty-four.

She never left the temple,

but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer.

And coming forward at that very time,

she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child

to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.

When they had fulfilled all the prescriptions

of the law of the Lord,

they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.

The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom;

and the favor of God was upon him.>

+ The Gospel of the Lord. 

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. 

복음

<제 눈이 주님의 구원을 보았습니다.>

✠ 루카가 전한 거룩한 복음입니다.2,22-40

22 모세의 율법에 따라 정결례를 거행할 날이 되자,

예수님의 부모는 아기를 예루살렘으로 데리고 올라가 주님께 바쳤다.

23 주님의 율법에 “태를 열고 나온 사내아이는

모두 주님께 봉헌해야 한다.”고 기록된 대로 한 것이다.

24 그들은 또한 주님의 율법에서

“산비둘기 한 쌍이나 어린 집비둘기 두 마리를” 바치라고 명령한 대로

제물을 바쳤다.

25 그런데 예루살렘에 시메온이라는 사람이 있었다.

이 사람은 의롭고 독실하며 이스라엘이 위로받을 때를 기다리는 이였는데,

성령께서 그 위에 머물러 계셨다.

26 성령께서는 그에게 주님의 그리스도를 뵙기 전에는

죽지 않으리라고 알려 주셨다.

27 그가 성령에 이끌려 성전으로 들어갔다.

그리고 아기에 관한 율법의 관례를 준수하려고

부모가 아기 예수님을 데리고 들어오자,

28 그는 아기를 두 팔에 받아 안고 이렇게 하느님을 찬미하였다.

29 “주님, 이제야 말씀하신 대로 당신 종을 평화로이 떠나게 해 주셨습니다.

30 제 눈이 당신의 구원을 본 것입니다.

31 이는 당신께서 모든 민족들 앞에서 마련하신 것으로

32 다른 민족들에게는 계시의 빛이며 당신 백성 이스라엘에게는 영광입니다.”

33 아기의 아버지와 어머니는 아기를 두고 하는 이 말에 놀라워하였다.

34 시메온은 그들을 축복하고 나서 아기 어머니 마리아에게 말하였다.

“보십시오,

이 아기는 이스라엘에서 많은 사람을 쓰러지게도 하고 일어나게도 하며,

또 반대를 받는 표징이 되도록 정해졌습니다.

35 그리하여 당신의 영혼이 칼에 꿰찔리는 가운데,

많은 사람의 마음속 생각이 드러날 것입니다.”

36 한나라는 예언자도 있었는데, 프누엘의 딸로서 아세르 지파 출신이었다.

나이가 매우 많은 이 여자는 혼인하여 남편과 일곱 해를 살고서는,

37 여든네 살이 되도록 과부로 지냈다.

그리고 성전을 떠나는 일 없이 단식하고 기도하며 밤낮으로 하느님을 섬겼다.

38 그런데 이 한나도 같은 때에 나아와 하느님께 감사드리며,

예루살렘의 속량을 기다리는 모든 이에게 그 아기에 대하여 이야기하였다.

39 주님의 법에 따라 모든 일을 마치고 나서,

그들은 갈릴래아에 있는 고향 나자렛으로 돌아갔다.

40 아기는 자라면서 튼튼해지고 지혜가 충만해졌으며, 하느님의 총애를 받았다.

<Profession of Faith>- Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. 

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. 

God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. 

For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. 

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. 

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. 

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, 

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. 

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. 

I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen. 

<The Universal Prayer>

For your co-eternal Son was presented on this day in the Temple and revealed by the Spirit as the glory of Israel and Light of the nations.

And so, we, too, go forth, rejoicing to encounter your Salvation, and with the Angels and Saints praise you, as without end we acclaim:

◎ (Song#13) Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts, heaven and earth are full of your glory.  Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. 

[Please kneel]

＋ You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness. Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall, so that they may become for us the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his Passion, he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY BODY, WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU. 

In similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice and, once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying:

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT, FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT, WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME. 

＋ The mystery of faith. 

◎ (Song#16) We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again. 

+ Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his Death and Resurrection. We offer you, Lord, the Bread of life and Chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you. Humbly we pray that, partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit. Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the fullness of charity, together with ___. our Pope, and ___, our Bishop and all the clergy. Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection, and all who died in your mercy: welcome them into the light of your face. Have mercy on us all, we pray, that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with the blessed Apostles, and all the Saints who have pleased you throughout the ages, we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life, and may praise and glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ. 

+ Through Him, and with Him, and in Him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever.
