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.
People: Amen.

The Lord be with you
And with your spirit.

PENITENTIAL ACT
Brethren (Brothers and sisters),
let us acknowledge our sins,
and so prepare ourselves to
celebrate the sacred mysteries.

I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I
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,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

FIRST READING 12:1-13
A reading from the prophet Daniel
“At that time Michael will stand up, the
great prince who mounts guard over
your people. There is going to be a
time of great distress, unparalleled
since nations first came into existence.
When that time comes, your own
people will be spared, all those whose
names are found written in the Book.
Of those who lie sleeping in the dust
of the earth many will awake, some to
everlasting life, some to shame and
everlasting disgrace. The learned will
shine as brightly as the vault of
heaven, and those who have
instructed many in virtue, as bright as
stars for all eternity.’’
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Liturgy of the Eucharist

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

PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL

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.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM
Ps 15:5.8-11.R.v.1

R. Preserve me, God, I take refuge
in you.
1. O Lord, it is you who are my portion

and cup;
it is you yourself who are my prize.
I keep the Lord ever in my sight:
since he is at my right hand,
I shall stand firm. R.

2. And so my heart rejoices, my soul
is glad;

even my body shall rest in safety.
For you will not leave my soul
among the dead,
nor let your beloved know decay. R.

3. You will show me the path of life,

the fullness of joy in your presence,
at your right hand happiness
for ever. R.

SECOND READING 10:11-14.18

A reading from the letter to the
Hebrews
All the priests stand at their duties
every day, offering over and over
again the same sacrifices which are
quite incapable of taking sins away.
Christ, on the other hand, has offered
one single sacrifice for sins, and then
taken his place for ever, at the right
hand of God, where he is now waiting
until his enemies are made into a
footstool for him. By virtue of that one
single offering, he has achieved the
eternal perfection of all whom he is
sanctifying. When all sins have been
forgiven, there can be no more sin
offerings.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

ACCLAMATION Mt 24:42.44
Alleluia, alleluia!

Stay awake and stand ready,
because you do not know the hour

when the Son of Man is coming.
Alleluia!

GOSPEL 13:24-32

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A reading from the holy
Gospel according to Mark.
Glory to you, O Lord.
Jesus said to his disciples: “In those
days, after the time of distress, the sun
will be darkened, the moon will lose its
brightness, the stars will come falling
from heaven and the powers in the
heaven will be shaken. And then they
will see the Son of Man coming in the
clouds with great power and glory;
then too he will send the angels to
gather his chosen from the four winds,
from the ends of the world to the ends
of heaven.
“Take the fig tree as a parable: as
soon as its twigs grow supple and its
leaves come out, you know that
summer is near. So with you, when
you see these things happening: know
that he is near, at the very gates. I tell
you solemnly, before this generation
has passed away all these things will
have taken place. Heaven and earth
will pass away, but my words will not
pass away.
“But as for that day or hour, nobody
knows it, neither the angels of heaven,
nor the Son; no one but the Father.’’

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

and is seated at the right hand of the
Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord,
the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and
the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is
adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and
apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the
forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection
of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

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 Francis, 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.

Communion Rite

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:

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.

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.

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.

Lord, I believe in you: increase my
faith. I trust in you: strengthen my
trust. I love you: let me love you more
and more. I am sorry for my sins:
deepen my sorrow. Let my conscience
be clear, my conduct without fault,
my speech blameless,
my life well-ordered.
Put me on guard against my human
weaknesses. Let me cherish your love
for me, keep your law, and come at
last to your salvation.
Teach me to realise that this world is
passing, that my true future is the
happiness of heaven, that life on earth
is short, and the life to come eternal.
Help me to prepare for death
with a proper fear of judgement,
but a greater trust in your goodness.
Lead me safely through death
to eternal life.

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.
