Here is a Sermon Guide for Extraordinary Form (EF) Masses based on the Summa Theologica of Saint Thomas Aquinas. First is this Sunday.
Of course, the Philippians (chapter 4) Epistle can be preached for Ordinary Form Masses too, since the Gaudete entrance antiphon comes from it. It is also the Second Reading of Year C. The Gospel is used in Year B.
The reference I give is to the first question dealing with each topic, which might go on, beyond the question cited, to succeeding question(s).
Next I give the preceding Sundays of Advent. Note also that the EF Gospel for the Second Sunday is the Ordinary Form Gospel this Sunday (Year A).
