From the work of the great scholar Rev. Father Cornelius J. Ryan, The Gospels of the Sundays and Festivals with an Introduction, Parallel Passages, Notes and Moral Reflections (Vol. I; Dublin: Browne and Nolan, Ltd., 1914), here is a commentary upon the Gospel lesson for the Mass of the fourth Sunday of Advent.

From The Dominican Missal in Latin and English (Oxford: Blackfriars Publications, 1948), here is the Mass of the fourth Sunday of Advent.

Note the great difference between the texts of the Office Memento nostri Domine (the Dominican counterpart of the Introit) of this Mass and the Introit Rorate cæli in the Mass for this Sunday as found in the Roman Missal.

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 fourth Sunday of Advent.

Note that the Introit Memento nostri Domine in the Carmelite Missal for the Mass of this Sunday differs greatly from that found in the Roman Missal. Note also that the Gospel lesson is that of the Mass for the third Sunday of Advent as found in the Roman Missal. Yet another curious discrepancy that makes the Sacred Liturgy of Holy Mother Church exquisitely beautiful, so that we may verily say of such a Mother that she is exceedingly lovely "in vestitu deaurato, circuмdata varietate" (Ps. xliv. 10).
