Pasensya na po at
nahuli na naman. Wala pa rin kasi kaming gadget na nagagamit. Nag-iipon pa.
The 1st Sunday of Advent in Year A starts a new season of hope and preparation. Advent is a time for watching, waiting, and preparing for Christ. The readings call us to stay alert, live with purpose, and seek peace.
ENTRANCE:
1. Ayaw Paglangan Ginoo
2. Andama Ang Dalan
3. Bayan magsiawit na (Song #33)
Advent is about, among others, anticipation for Christ’s coming. Naturally being repetitive, this song’s refrain would have an adventish touch and begin very strongly that mission to arouse the congregation’s anticipation for the coming JC when one sings: “Dakilang biyayang pangako Niya sisilay na” rather than “sumilay” na. Kung baga ang lakas ng pasok/dating nito. Parang the film outfit would be creating a teaser dahel may ilo-launch na big budget film! Most sincere apologies po to Father Arnel if binastardo ko yung song niya.
4. Halina, Jesus, aming Mananakop (Isidro, Que)
5. Dinggin Mo (Esteban, Hontiveros) "Ama nami't Panginoon" is so 1R.
6. Seek the Lord (especially Stanza 1) (Song #289)
Advent is not only about anticipation for the Christ’s first coming. It is also about preparedness for the Second Coming. (Traces of 32nd and 33rd Sundays in Ordinary Time.)
7. Blest be the Lord (Schutte)
8. All the Ends of the Earth (Dufford)
For Advent, there should no Gloria. Omit Gloria except for the mass at dawn.
READINGS: 
OFFERTORY:
1. Gasa sa Gugma (Koro Viannista) good choice
2. Daygon Ikaw, Ginoong Dios
3. Gasa Namo Kanimo
4. Pag-aalay ng Puso (Minsan Lamang) (Nemy & Que) as advent (at least the earlier part) has an eschatological notion. Traces of 32nd and 33rd Sundays in Ordinary Time yata ito.
5. Ang Tanging Alay Ko Prioritize Stanza 3. One reinforces the more common message of Advent even more when in Stanza 3 this is sung: “Aking hinihintay ang ‘Yong pagdarating, Jesus” rather than “pagbabalik, Jesus.” Nevertheless, pagbabalik can certainly remain, as again this season also has an eschatological notion.
6. Unang Alay (best choice) We can instantly make this song have an Adventish notion: The last line originally runs: “...Ngayo’y nananalig, nagmamahal sa ‘Yo.” Sing instead, “Ngayo’y umaasa, naghihintay sa ‘Yo.” You then reinforce the message re: anticipation.
Now if your choir sings the Koda, you deliver one solid message if you sing: “Ngayo’y nananalig (umaawit), dumudulog (sumasamba), umaasa (naghihintay) sa ‘Yo.”
I will be so excommunicated by Fr. Rey Magnaye.

7. Prayer for Generosity (Arboleda)
8. Take our Bread (Wise)
9. To Be Your Bread (Haas)
COMMUNION:
1. Panahon na Karon sa Pagbag-o, literally Christians repent during Advent and Lent season. So this is a good choice
2. O Dios, Ikaw Haduol
3. Andani, Pag-andam sa Ani, the main keyword is Pag-andam. For his coming we should prepare.
4. Ginoo, Sayud Ka sa Tanan (Ad-7)
5. Awit ng Paghahangad (Cenzon) Our response to be watchful: Ika’y pagmamasdan sa dakong banal, nang Makita ko ang ‘Yong pagkarangal.
6. Awit ng Paghilom (Aquino). “Hanap-hanap Ka ng puso”
7. Hesus na Aking Kapatid (Hontiveros) Focus on “Tulutan Mo aking mata” Lentish admittedly though.
8. Liwanag ng Aming Puso: Lentish but (“...sa amin manahan Ka...”)
9. O Diyos, Iniibig Kita (Rodrigo & Hontiveros)
10. Pagsibol (Aquino)
11. Panginoon Aking Tanglaw (Ramirez)
12. Sa Dapit Hapon (Tabuena & Hontiveros) Sing stanza 1 repeatedly.
13. Patience People (Foley)
14. The Face of God (Francisco)
15. God of Silence (Francisco)
16. Holy Darkness “As we await You” pero some consider this for the Easter Vigil mas apt.
17. Hosea (Norbet) Lentish mas kilala, pero if you consider its links to eschatology...
18. Love is the answer (Hannisian)
19. One Thing I Ask (Tirol)
20. This Alone (Manion)
21. We Remember (Haugen)
RECESSIONAL:
1. Pagpangatagak na Yamog
2. Balang Araw
Suggestion ko lang ‘toh; anyone can very well disagree: consider changing yung ‘Narito na’ng Manunubos, luwalhatiin ang Diyos!’ into ‘Darating na’ng Manunubos, luwalhatiin ang Diyos!’ I just think it will be more faithful to the chronology, na for this season of advent, we should all help build up the anticipation for His coming. Technically Christ already came 2000 years ago, but we do have a liturgical year—every year and time, events that happened 2000 years ago are ever more renewed and ever more recalled to mind, and akma yung message mo when you hit the right pamanahon ng pandiwa (tenses of verbs).
3. Tanda ng Kaharian ng Diyos (Morano & Francisco)
4. Any Marian Song (kasi Nov 27 is Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal)
5. A Time Will Come for Singing (Schutte)
6. Wait for the Lord
7. Life Forever More (Ellerton & Francisco)
The 1st Sunday of Advent in Year A starts a new season of hope and preparation. Advent is a time for watching, waiting, and preparing for Christ. The readings call us to stay alert, live with purpose, and seek peace.
- Staying Awake for Christ: Advent reminds us to stay watchful and ready. Jesus urges us to be aware and prepared, not caught off guard by his coming.
- Hope and Anticipation: Advent brings a season of hope for what is to come. This hope pushes us to prepare our hearts and lives for the coming of Christ.
- Living in the Light: Paul’s letter encourages us to live in the light and leave behind actions that keep us in darkness. Advent is a time to step forward with kindness, honesty, and peace.
- Embracing Peace: Isaiah’s vision of nations gathering in peace shows God’s hope for a world united. We are reminded to be peacemakers, especially as we prepare for Christ’s coming.
- Turning from Distractions: The Gospel warns of the dangers of letting daily life distract us from Christ’s arrival. Advent is a call to put aside what pulls us from God and make room for Him.
- Beginning Again with Faith: Advent opens a new church year and invites us to refresh our faith. We are called to enter the season with hearts open to grow closer to God.

- First Reading – Isaiah 2:1-5: In the future, the Lord’s mountain will be the highest. All nations will come to learn His ways, and there will be peace. Let us walk in the light of the Lord.
- Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 122: Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
- We rejoice as we enter Jerusalem, the unified city of the Lord. We pray for peace and prosperity in Jerusalem, and we give thanks to the Lord’s name.
