Eternal God, who made this most holy night to shine with the brightness of thy one true light: bring us, who have known the revelation of that light on earth, to see the radiance of thy heavenly glory; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
In 2017, the Fourth Sunday of Advent falls on December 24, which is also Christmas Eve (beginning in the evening). Therefore, in the morning we observe the Fourth Sunday of Advent, and then in the afternoon we transition to an observance of Christmas Eve.
Included in this Choral Eucharist at 11am are hymns sung by the congregation and choir, additional music sung exclusively by the choir, lessons, prayers, a sermon, and a Rite I Mass. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion.
