Primera Lectura

2 Samuel

an pronto como el rey David se instaló en su palacio y el Señor le concedió descansar de todos los enemigos que lo rodeaban, el rey dijo al profeta Natán: “¿Te has dado cuenta de que yo vivo en una mansión de cedro, mientras el arca de Dios sigue alojada en una tienda de campaña?” Natán le respondió: “Anda y haz todo lo que te dicte el corazón, porque el Señor está conti-go”.

Aquella misma noche habló el Señor a Natán y le dijo: “Ve y dile a mi siervo David que el Señor le manda decir esto: ‘¿Piensas que vas a ser tú el que me construya una casa, para que yo habite en ella? Yo te saqué de los apriscos y de andar tras las ovejas, para que fueras el jefe de mi pueblo, Israel. Yo estaré contigo en todo lo que emprendas, acabaré con tus ene-migos y te haré tan famoso como los hombres más famosos de la tierra.

Le asignaré un lugar a mi pueblo, Israel; lo plantaré allí para que habite en su propia tierra. Vivirá tranquilo y sus enemigos ya no lo oprimirán más, como lo han venido haciendo desde los tiempos en que establecí jueces para gobernar a mi pueblo, Is-rael. Y a ti, David, te haré descansar de todos tus enemigos. Además, yo, el Señor, te hago saber que te daré una dinastía; y cuando tus días se hayan cumplido y descanses para siempre con tus padres, engrandeceré a tu hijo, sangre de tu sangre, y consolidaré su reino. Yo seré para él un padre y él será para mí un hijo. Tu casa y tu reino permanecerán para siempre ante mí, y tu trono será estable eternamente’ ”.

First Reading

2 Samuel

When King David was settled in his palace, and the LORD had given him rest from his enemies on every side, he said to Nathan the prophet,

“Here I am living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God dwells in a tent!”

Nathan answered the king,

“Go, do whatever you have in mind, for the LORD is with you.” But that night the LORD spoke to Nathan and said:

“Go, tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD:

Should you build me a house to dwell in?’“ "'It was I who took you from the pasture and from the care of the flock to be commander of my people Israel. I have been with you wherever you went, and I have destroyed all your enemies before you.

And I will make you famous like the great ones of the earth. I will fix a place for my people Israel;

I will plant them so that they may dwell in their place without further disturbance.

Neither shall the wicked continue to afflict them as they did of old, since the time I first appointed judges over my people Israel. I will give you rest from all your enemies.

The LORD also reveals to you that he will establish a house for you.

And when your time comes and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your heir after you, sprung from your loins, and I will make his kingdom firm.

I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me.

Your house and your kingdom shall endure forever before me; your throne shall stand firm forever.'”

The readings for this weekend.

Second Reading

Romans 16

To him who can strengthen you, according to my gospel and the procla-mation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret for long ages but now manifested through the prophetic writings and, according to the command of the eternal God, made known to all nations to bring about the obedience of faith, to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ be glory forever and ever. Amen.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel

Luke 1:26-38

The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.”

But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.

Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?”

And the angel said to her in reply, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.”

Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.

Segunda Lectura

Romans 16

R. Aleluya, aleluya.

Yo soy la esclava del Señor;

que se cumpla en mí lo que me has dicho.

R. Aleluya.

Evangelio

Luke 1:26-38

En aquel tiempo, el ángel Gabriel fue enviado por Dios a una ciudad de Galilea, llamada Nazaret, a una virgen desposada con un varón de la estirpe de David, llamado José. La virgen se llam-aba María.

Entró el ángel a donde ella estaba y le dijo: “Alégrate, llena de gracia, el Señor está contigo”. Al oír estas palabras, ella se pre-ocupó mucho y se preguntaba qué querría decir semejante saludo. El ángel le dijo: “No temas, María, porque has hallado gracia ante Dios. Vas a concebir y a dar a luz un hijo y le pondrás por nombre Jesús. Él será grande y será llamado Hijo del Altísimo; el Señor Dios le dará el trono de David, su padre, y él reinará sobre la casa de Jacob por los siglos y su reinado no tendrá fin”. María le dijo entonces al ángel: “¿Cómo podrá ser esto, puesto que yo permanezco virgen?” El ángel le contestó: “El Espíritu Santo descenderá sobre ti y el poder del Altísimo te cubrirá con su sombra. Por eso, el Santo, que va a nacer de ti, será llamado Hijo de Dios. Ahí tienes a tu parienta Isabel, que a pesar de su vejez, ha concebido un hijo y ya va en el sexto mes la que llama-ban estéril, porque no hay nada imposible para Dios”. María contestó: “Yo soy la esclava del Señor; cúmplase en mí lo que me has dicho”. Y el ángel se retiró de su presencia.

Salmo

Salmo 88

R. (cf. 2a) Proclamaré sin cesar la misericordia del Señor.

Proclamaré sin cesar la misericordia del Señor y daré a conocer que su fidelidad es eterna, pues el Señor ha dicho: “Mi amor es para siempre y mi lealtad, más firme que los cielos.

R. Proclamaré sin cesar la misericordia del Señor.

Un juramento hice a David, mi servidor, una alianza pacté con mi elegido: ‘Consolidaré tu dinastía para siempre y afianzaré tu trono eternamente’.

R. Proclamaré sin cesar la misericordia del Señor.

Él me podrá decir: ‘Tú eres mi padre, el Dios que me protege y que me salva’. Yo jamás le retiraré mi amor,

ni violaré el juramento que le hice”.

R.Proclamaré sin cesar la misericordia del Señor.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 89

R. (2a) For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

The promises of the LORD I will sing forever;

through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness. For you have said, “My kindness is established forever”;

in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness. R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant:

Forever will I confirm your posterity and establish your throne for all generations.” R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

“He shall say of me, ‘You are my father, my God, the Rock, my savior.’

Forever I will maintain my kindness toward him, and my covenant with him stands firm.”

W

e are very grateful to those who have

continued to support our parish during

these long months of COVID 19. Because Mass

attendance has been limited, the offertory

collections are also much less. Our income for

the month of

November

was $28,948.34 (about

$7,237 per week). Because of the many steps we have taken to

reduce

expenses, the amount we need per week is now $8,400.00.

Much better. We hope you will continue to help us.

*ENVELOPE USERS: If you wish to receive a

year-end statement of your donations, call the

office at 916 421-1414, and leave your name,

envelope number and phone number with the

request for your statement.

It is still possible to make your offertory donation by

send-ing it thru the mail to: St. Rose Church, P. O. Box 246070,

Sacramento, CA 95824 or online at our parish website:

stroseinsacramento.com

. Donations can even be dropped

into the black secure mailbox outside the rectory entrance.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

O Jesus, I turn toward the holy tabernacle

where You live hidden for love of me.

I love You, O my God. I cannot receive You

in Holy Communion.

Come nevertheless,

and visit me with Your grace.

Come spiritually into my heart. Purify it.

Sanctify it. Render it like unto Your own.

Amen.

All God’s Children

O God, open our eyes to see each one’s

real, true identity—that this one is not a

white or black, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian,

Muslim or Jew, but a brother, a sister, and

treat each other as such. Help us recognize

our common humanity, that we do belong

together, as members of one family, the

human family, Your family.

But God’s love for us remains constant. . . .

always available. . . through prayer. God has continued to bless us.

We, at St. Rose, are thankful for the continued assistance we have

seen, both monetarily and in personal time devoted to our parish.

We appreciate your patience with all the changes and

accommodations we have had to make. May God’s loving care for
