27

Be patient, brothers, until the Lords coming.Anh em hy kin nhn ch ngy Cha n.

Think of a farmer: how patiently he waits for the precious fruit of the ground until it has had the autumn rains and the spring rains!Ka xem ngi nng phu trng i hoa mu qu bu ca ng rung, kin nhn i ch ma xun v ma thu.

You too have to be patient; do not lose heart, because the Lords coming will be soon.Vy anh em hy bn ch v vng tm, v Cha gn n.

Do not make complaints against one another, brothers, so as not to be brought to judgement yourselves; the Judge is already to be seen waiting at the gates.Anh em ng ku trch ln nhau, khi phi b kt n. Ny y quan to ng trc ca.

For your example, brothers, in submitting with patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. The gospel of the Lord.Anh em hy hc gng kin nhn v chu ng trong gian kh ca cc tin tri, l nhng ngi ni nhn danh Cha.

Praise to you,Lord Jesus Christ.

Examination of ConscienceNghi thc sm hi

During Advent in 2016 we have used these words to help us to understand the message from the readings.

Sunday1 : Hope Sunday 2 : ProclaimSunday 3 : With-nessSunday 4 : Emmanuel

This evening as we wait for the healing touch of the Lord we reflect the themes we followed through advent. Chiu nay, trong khi ch Cha ng chm cha lnh, chng ta hy suy gm v nhng ch m chng ta ra trong ma Vng

Hope:Do we notice the signs that God is with us, do these signs help us to move forward in hope?Hy Vng:Chng ta c nhn ra nhng ch du ca s hin din ca Cha ni chng ta, v nhng ch du ny c gip chng ta dn bc trong hy vng khng?

Proclaim:John the Baptist heard the word of God and he passed it on. John Proclaimed the message.Do we proclaim the Goodness of God through love?Do we live in a way that passes on Gods love?Loan Truyn:Thnh Gioan Ty Gi nghe li Chav loan truyn li Cha cho ngi khc.Thnh Gioan Tin H loan truyn s ip. Chng ta c loan truyn tnh yu bao la ca Cha bng tnh yu khng?Li sng ca chng ta c gip loan truyn tnh yu ca Cha khng?

Withness:If we live with others and for others then we are like John the Baptist we are a witness to the presence of Christ.Chng T:Nu chng ta sng VI ngi khc v CHO ngi khc nh Thnh Gioan Ty Gi, chng ta l chng t ca s hin din ca Cha Kit

Emmanuel: God with us. Mary brought Jesus into the world.Do we share in her role of incarnation by bringing Jesus presence and love to others.EmmanuelCha cng chng ta.c Maria sinh h Cha Gisu xung trn gian.Chng ta c ng cngvi M Maria trongcng vic mang thaiv em li s hin dinv tnh yu ca Cha Gisu cho ngi khc khng?

O Lord hear my prayer

O Lord hear my prayer,O Lord hear my prayer,When I call answer me.

O Lord hear my prayer, O Lord hear my prayer, Come and listen to me.

Reflection songCha ch ta_Hong Oanh

Lord is waiting for us.Longtime ago while we have slept soundly.Since we have forgotten the way to come back.

Lord is waiting for us.In His widely opened arms, He is waiting for us.In every His breath, He is waiting for us. He is still waiting.

Refrain:Lord, let your mercy be on usAs we place our trust in you.

The word of the Lord is, Faithfulness and love.This love can never be measured.Gods beauty is like nothing we have everseen, So let us place our trust in God.

1985, Kevin Bates; arr. By Alister SpenceUsed with permission WOL 475E

Like a Shepherd.Refrain: Like a shepherd he feeds his flock and gathers the lambs in his arms,Holding them carefully close to his heart, leading them home.

1.Say to the cities of Judah: Prepare the way of the Lord.Go to the mountain top, lift your voice: Jerusalem here is your God.

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel1.O come, O come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel,That mourns in lonely exile hereUntil the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel, shall come to you, O Israel.

Prayer

Father we came together as people in need of your touch. You helped us overcome our failings.Now, cleansed of our sin, we stand before you ready to share your love, with those we meet.Thank you for being close to us, thank your for freeing us from our guilt.Give us your blessing as we prepare for the joyful Christmas celebration.We pray in the name of Jesus your son.

Amen
