Stir up thy power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins, let thy bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee ând the Holy Ghost, be honor and glory, world without end. Amen.
Almighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in grêat humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the quick and the dêad; we may rise to the life immortal; through him who liveth and reigneth with thee ând the Holy Ghost, now and ever. Amen.
What Are the Propers of the Mass?
The propers of the Mass are the elements that change according to the day or season of the church year—introits, collects, lessons, versicles, responses, antiphons, secrets, etc.)
Each of the pages of propers linked from the index on the right side of this page presents the propers for a Sunday in the current season. The index will change throughout the liturgical year, beginning with Advent on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, and running through Sundays after Pentecost.

From the
New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia: The Proprium de tempore and the Proprium Sanctorum form in the present liturgy the two principal portions of our Breviary and Missals; the first comprises the parts appointed for the days of the year having special Masses or Offices (introits, prayers, lessons, responses, versicles, antiphons, etc.); the second is devoted to the Offices of the Saints. The Proprium de tempore begins with the first Sunday of Advent and ends with the last Sunday after Pentecost. It includes, after Advent, the parts assigned for the Christmas season (six Sundays); Septuagesima, three weeks; Lent, six weeks; Paschal time, fifty days; Pentecost, and the twenty-four Sundays after. Most of the Sundays comprising this cycle, and often weekdays, have special Offices which composed the Proprium de tempore. The Proprium Sanctorum comprises all the saints' days with special Offices, from St. Andrew on 30 November. The Offices of the saints, like those de tempore, are composed of lessons, antiphons, responses, hymns, or other liturgical passages special to these saints' feasts.
