EARLY EVENING PRAYER FOR THE BEGINNING OF TIME FOR LIFE VIGIL ADVENT RISING

Pope Benedict XVI arrives to celebrate the First Vespers on the occasion of the first week of Advent in Saint Peter's Basilica at the Vatican November 28, 2009.

The custom began with Pope Benedict XVI to celebrate Vespers service in the First Sunday of Advent in St. Peter's Basilica will highlight the beginning of a new liturgical year for the life of the Church. With the season of Advent, in fact, start a new annual cycle, in which the Church celebrates the whole mystery of Christ, from the Pentecost and the return of the Lord.
The floral decoration, although present, is marked by a certain restraint, so that it signified the specificity of Advent liturgical and spiritual, as a time of expectation of the Lord is, as a sign of joy but also of penance and vigilance . Consider, in this sense, the chorus sang to the intercessions: "Veni, Domine, et noli late." The fulfillment of expectation and joy will manifest the fullness of the Holy Night Christmas with the singing of "Glory." In this same sense must be understood in purple color of the liturgical vestments that will accompany the full season of Advent, just starting with this evening's celebration.
This year, the celebration of First Vespers is followed by the Prayer Vigil for Life nascent, promoted by the Pontifical Council for the Family and celebrated today throughout the Catholic Church. On this occasion, before the celebration of Vespers, there is a time for reflection and prayer will take turns reading some texts of the Magisterium on the subject of life, some typical songs of Advent, moments of silence and prayers.
addition, the celebration of Vespers will be preceded by the exposure of SS. Sacramento to be followed at the end of the celebration, adoration and benediction. During the time of worship, the Holy Father will say a prayer for life, composed for the occasion.
During the Vespers, the brief moment of silence at the end of the psalms and reading about the aim to help the climate of personal prayer and meditation that must always characterize the liturgical action and that makes it able to open your heart to listen more carefully the Word of God and a better understanding of the mysteries of the Lord.
Remember, in this regard, what St. Augustine said about the singing of the Psalms: "You hear the voice of Christ and the Church of Christ in the Church and the Church in Christ."
The season of Advent is a time Marian is waiting for the Lord who is accompanied by Mary, whose expectation of the Lord is all exemplary. Also for this reason the altar of confession is placed the image of the Madonna and the celebration of Vespers ends with the singing of a Marian antiphon, in front of a painting that shows the SS. Mother of God, located on the left hand column of the altar of the Confession.
