From The Missal According to the Carmelite Rite in Latin and English for Every Day in the Year (Rome: Vatican Polyglot Press, 1953), here is the Mass of the first Sunday of Advent.

Note the Gospel lesson proper to the Carmelite Rite: the account of Our Lord's glorious entrance unto the city of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday according to Saint Matthew. This is fitting indeed, as this Gospel lesson coalesces the reminiscence of the sacred Mysteries which Holy Mother Church now presents for the contemplation of the faithful during Advent, and which she will present during Passiontide: to wit, the Incarnation and Nativity, together with the dolorous Passion and Death of Our Lord.

Jesus Christ can never be separated from the Cross for which His Sacred Heart yearned since the moment of the Incarnation.
