ENTRANCE ANTIPHON
Jer 29: 11, 12, 14

The Lord said: I think thoughts of
peace and not of affliction.
You will call upon me, and I will
answer you, and I will lead back
your captives from every place.

Praise my soul the King of heaven,
To his feet your tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who am I his praise to sing?
Praise him. Praise him. Praise him.
Praise him. Praise the everlasting King.
Praise him for his grace and favour
To our fathers in distress:
Praise him still the same for ever,
Slow to chide and swift to bless.
Praise him. Praise him. Praise him.
Praise him. Glorious in his faithfulness.
Father-like he tends and spares us;
well our feeble frame he knows;
in his hands he gently bears us;
rescues us from all our foes.
Praise him! Praise him!
Praise him! Praise him!
Widely as his mercy flows!

Priest: In the name of the Father and
of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit.

have failed to do,
Striking your breast as you say:
through my fault,
through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary
ever-Virgin,

and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy. Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy.

PROFESSION OF FAITH

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial
with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
(All bow during the next three lines)
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under
Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven

Raising the host, the priest says:
Blessed are you, Lord, God of all
creation, for through your goodness
we have received the bread we offer
you: fruit of the earth and work of
human hands,
it will become for us the bread of life.
Blessed be God for ever.
The priest pours wine and a little water
into the chalice, saying quietly:
By the mystery of this water and wine
may we come to share in the divinity
of Christ,
who humbled himself to share in our
humanity.
Raising the chalice, the priest says:
Blessed are you, Lord, God of all
creation, for through your goodness
we have received the wine we offer
you: fruit of the vine and work of
human hands,
it will become our spiritual drink.
Blessed be God for ever.
Bowing the priest says quietly:
With humble spirit and contrite heart
may we be accepted by you, O Lord,
and may our sacrifice in your sight
this day be pleasing to you, O Lord.
Then the priest washes his hands, saying
quietly:
Wash me, O Lord, from my iniquity;
and cleanse me from my sin.

Liturgy of the Eucharist

ACCLAMATION Lk 21:36
Alleluia, alleluia!

Stay awake, praying at all times
for the strength to stand

with confidence before the
Son of Man. Alleluia!

SECOND READING 3:7-12
A reading from the second letter of
St Paul to the Thessalonians
You know how you are supposed to
imitate us: now we were not idle when
we were with you, nor did we ever
have our meals at anyone’s table
without paying for them; no, we
worked night and day, slaving and
straining, so as not to be a burden on
any of you. This was not because we
had no right to be, but in order to
make ourselves an example for you to
follow.
We gave you a rule when we were
with you: not to let anyone have any
food if he refused to do any work. Now
we hear that there are some of you
who are living in idleness, doing no
work themselves but interfering with
everyone else’s. In the Lord Jesus
Christ, we order and call on people of
this kind to go on quietly working and
earning the food that they eat.

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL 21:5-19
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A reading from the holy
Gospel according to Luke.
Glory to you, O Lord.

When some were talking about the
Temple, remarking how it was
adorned with f ine stonework and
votive offerings, Jesus said, “All these
things you are staring at now – the
time will come when not a single stone
will be left on another: everything will
be destroyed.” And they put to him
this question: “Master,” they said,
“when will this happen, then, and what
sign will there be that this is about to
take place?”
“Take care not to be deceived,” he
said, “because many will come using
my name and saying, ‘I am he,’ and,
‘The time is near at hand.’ Refuse to
join them. And when you hear of wars
and revolutions, do not be frightened,
for this is something that must happen
but the end is not so soon.”

Then he said to them, “Nation will
fight against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom. There will be great
earthquakes and plagues and famines
here and there; there will be fearful
sights and great signs from heaven.

“But before all this happens, men
will seize you and persecute you; they
will hand you over to the synagogues
and to imprisonment, and bring you
before kings and governors because
of my name and that will be your
opportunity to bear witness. Keep this
carefully in mind: you are not to
prepare your defence, because I
myself shall give you an eloquence
and a wisdom that none of your
opponents will be able to resist or
contradict. You will be betrayed even
by parents and brothers, relations and
friends; and some of you will be put to
death. You will be hated by all men on
account of my name, but not a hair of
your head will be lost. Your endurance
will win you your lives.”

The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

t

Facing the people the priest says:

Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters),
that my sacrifice and yours
may be acceptable to God,
the almighty Father.

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at
your hands
for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good, and the good of all
his holy Church.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II
PREFACE II Ordinary Time
The Lord be with you.
And with your Spirit.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right and just

It is truly right and just, our duty and
our salvation, always and everywhere
to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and
eternal God, through Christ our Lord.

For out of compassion for the
waywardness that is ours, he
humbled himself and was born of the
Virgin; by the passion of the Cross he
freed us from unending death, and by
rising from the dead he gave us life
eternal.

And so, with Angels and Archangels,
with Thrones and Dominions, and with
all the hosts and Powers of heaven,
we sing the hymn of your glory, as
without end we acclaim:

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of
your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

You are indeed Holy, O Lord,
the fount of all holiness.
The Priest joins his hands and, holding them
extended over the offerings, says:
Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we
pray, by sending down your Spirit
upon them like the dewfall,
so that they may become for us
the Body X and Blood of our Lord,
Jesus Christ.
At the time he was betrayed
and entered willingly into his Passion,
he took bread and, giving thanks,
broke it,
and gave it to his disciples, saying:

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT
OF IT,
FOR THIS IS MY BODY,
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR
YOU.

In a similar way, when supper was
ended,
he took the chalice
and, once more giving thanks,
he gave it to his disciples, saying:

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND
DRINK FROM IT,
FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY
BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND
ETERNAL COVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR
YOU AND FOR MANY
FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.

The mystery of faith
We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection
until you come again.

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says:
Therefore, as we celebrate the
memorial of his Death and
Resurrection,
we offer you, Lord,
the Bread of life and the Chalice of
salvation,
giving thanks that you have held us
worthy to be in your presence and
minister to you.

Humbly we pray that, partaking of the
Body and Blood of Christ,
we may be gathered into one by the
Holy Spirit.
Remember, Lord, your Church,
spread throughout the world,
and bring her to the fullness of charity,
together with Leo, our Pope,
N. our Bishop, his assistant Bishop(s),
and all the clergy.
Remember also our brothers and
sisters who have fallen asleep in the
hope of the resurrection,
and all who have died in your mercy:
welcome them into the light of your
face.
Have mercy on us all, we pray,
that with the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Mother of God, with blessed Joseph,
her Spouse, with the blessed
Apostles, and all the Saints who have
pleased you throughout the ages,
we may merit to be coheirs to eternal
life, and may praise and glorify you
through your Son, Jesus Christ.

The Priest takes the chalice and the paten
with the host and, elevating both, he says:
Through him, and with him, and in
him,
O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honour is yours,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

At the Saviour’s command and formed
by divine teaching, we dare to say:
Our Father, who art in heaven . . .
Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil,
graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the help of your mercy,
we may be always free from sin
and safe from all distress, as we await
the blessed hope and the coming of our
Saviour, Jesus Christ.
For the kingdom, the power and the
glory are yours, now and for ever.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Grant, O Lord, we pray, that what we
offer in the sight of your majesty
may obtain for us the grace of being
devoted to you and gain us the prize
of everlasting happiness.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

The peace of the Lord be with you
always.
And with your Spirit.

The priest may add these or similar words.
Let us offer each other the sign of
peace.

The priest places a small piece of the host in
the chalice saying quietly:
May this mingling of the body and
blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
bring eternal life to us who receive it.
Meanwhile the people sing or say:
Lamb of God, you take away the
sins of the world:
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the
sins of the world:
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the
sins of the world:
grant us peace.

The Priest reverently consumes the Body of
Christ.
Then he takes the chalice and says quietly:
May the Blood of Christ
keep me safe for eternal life.

The Priest raises a host slightly and shows it
to each of the communicants, saying:
The Body of Christ.
Amen.

Raising the host the priest says:

Behold the Lamb of God,
behold him who takes away the sins of
the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper
of the Lamb.

And together with the people he says once:
Lord, I am not worthy
that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word
and my soul shall be healed.

May the Body of Christ
keep me safe for eternal life.

Lord Jesus Christ,
who said to your Apostles:
Peace I leave you, my peace I give
you, look not on our sins,
but on the faith of your Church,
and graciously grant her peace and
unity in accordance with your will.
Who live and reign for ever and ever.
Amen.

The priest says quietly:
May the receiving of your Body and
Blood,
Lord Jesus Christ,
not bring me to judgement and
condemnation,
but through your loving mercy
be for me protection in mind and body,
and a healing remedy.

COMMUNION ANTIPHON Ps 72: 28
To be near God is my happiness,
to place my hope in God the Lord.

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring your
love.
Where there is injury, your pardon,
Lord.
and where there’s doubt, true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there’s despair in life, let me
bring hope.
Where there is darkness, only light,
and where there’s sadness, ever joy.

O, Master, grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
in giving to all that we receive,
and in dying that we’re born to eternal
life.

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
We have partaken of the gifts of this
sacred mystery,
humbly imploring, O Lord,
that what your Son commanded us to
do in memory of him
may bring us growth in charity.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.

Bow head for the blessing – short silence
May almighty God bless you:
the Father, and the Son,
and the Holy Spirit,
Amen.
Go and announce the Gospel of
the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

How lovely on the mountains
are the feet of him
who brings good news, good news,
announcing peace,
proclaiming news of happiness:
our God reigns, our God reigns.
Our God reigns, our God reigns,
our God reigns, our God reigns.

Ends of the earth, see the salvation
of our God!
Jesus is Lord, is Lord!
Before the nations,
he has bared his holy arm:
our God reigns, our God reigns.
Our God reigns, our God reigns,
our God reigns, our God reigns.
