FIRST READING 19:2-6
A reading from the book of Exodus
From Rephidim the Israelites set out
again; and when they reached the
wilderness of Sinai, there in the
wilderness they pitched their camp;
there facing the mountain Israel
pitched camp.
Moses then went up to God, amd
the Lord called to him from the
mountain, saying, ‘Say this to the
House of Jacob, declare this to the
sons of Israel, “You yourselves have
seen what I did with the Egyptians,
how I carried you on eagle’s wings
and brought you to myself. From this
you know that now, if you obey my
voice and hold fast to my covenant,
you of all the nations shalll be my very
own, for all the earth is mine. I will
count you a kingdom of priests, a
consecrated nation.”’
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

O God, who in the offerings presented
here provide for the twofold needs of

nourishing us with food

grant, we pray,
that the sustenance they provide
may not fail us in body or in spirit.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
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
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.
ACCLAMATION Jn10:27
Alleluia, alleluia!
The sheep that belong to me listen
to my voice, says the Lord. I know
them and they follow me.
Alleluia!
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.
SIT
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 EucharistSECOND READING 5:6-11
A reading from the letter of St Paul
to the Romans
We were still helpless when at his
appointed moment Christ died for
sinful men. It is not easy to die even
for a good man – though of course for
someone really worthy, a man might
be prepared to die – but what proves
that God loves us is that Christ died
for us while we were still sinners.
Having died to make us righteous, is it
likely that he would now fail to save us
from God’s anger? When we were
reconciled to God by the death of his
Son, we were still enemies; now that
we have been reconciled surely we
may count on being saved by the life
of his Son? Not merely because we
have been reconciled but because we
are f i l led with joyful trust in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have already
gained our reconciliation.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
GOSPEL 9:36-10:8
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A reading from the holy
Gospel according to Matthew.
Glory to you, O Lord.
When Jesus saw the crowds he felt
sorry for them because they were
harassed and dejected, like sheep
without a shepherd. Then he said to
his disciples, ‘The harvest is rich but
the labourers are few, so ask the Lord
of the harvest to send labourers to his
harvest.’
He summoned his twelve disciples,
and gave them authority over unclean
spirits with power to cast them out and
to cure all kinds of diseases and
sickness.
These are the names of the twelve
apostles: first, Simon who is called
Peter, and his brother Andrew; James
the son of Zebedee, and his brother
John; Phil ip and Bartholomew;
Thomas, and Matthew the tax
collector; James the son of Alphaeus,
and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot
and Judas Iscariot, the one who was
to betray him. These twelve Jesus
sent out, instructing them as follows:
‘Do not turn your steps to pagan
territory, and do not enter any
Samaritan town; go rather to the lost
sheep of the House of Israel. And as
you go, proclaim that the kingdom of
heaven is close at hand. Cure the
sick, raise the dead, cleanse the
lepers, cast out devils. You received
without charge, give without charge.’
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
t
The mystery of faith:
When we eat this Bread and
drink this Cup,
we proclaim your death, O Lord,
until you come again.
Communion Rite
Lord, help me to believe more firmly in
you,
to keep all your commandments,
so that you may live in me and
I may live in you.
Without you, I am like a tree
without sap.
With you, I can flourish and live a
fruitful life,
Your life comes from the Father:
our life comes from you.
Lord, show us the Father.
Lead us into your glorious kingdom.
COMMUNION ANTIPHON Ps 26: 4
There is one thing I ask of the Lord,
only this do I seek:
to live in the house of the Lord all
the days of my life.
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.
May the Body of Christ
keep me safe for eternal life.
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.
The priest says quietly:
May the receiving of your Body and
Blood, Lord Jesus Christ,
not bring me to judgment and
condemnation,
but through your loving mercy
be for me protection in mind and body,
and a healing remedy.
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.
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
As this reception of your Holy
Communion, O Lord,
foreshadows the union of the faithful
in you,
so may it bring about unity in your
Church.
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, X
and the Holy Spirit,
Amen.
Go in peace glorifying the Lord by
your life.
Thanks be to God.
Take and eat; take and eat: this is my
body given up for you.
Take and drink; take and eat: this is my
blood given up for you.
I am the Word that spoke and light was
made;
I am the seed that died to be re-born;
I am the bread that comes from heaven
above;
I am the vine that fills your cup with joy. (R)
I am the way that leads the exile home;
I am the truth that sets the captive free;
I am the life that reaises up the dead;
I am your peace, true peace my gift to you.
(R)
I am the Lamb that takes away your sin;
I am the gate that guards you night and day;
You are my flock; you know the shepherd’s
voice;
You are my own; your ransom is my blood.
(R)
O Lord, my God,
when I in awesome wonder
consider all the worlds
thy hand has made,
I see the stars,
I hear the rolling thunder,
thy pow’r throughout
the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul,
my Saviour God to thee:
how great thou art,
how great thou art,
Then sings my soul,
my Saviour God to thee:
how great thou art,
how great thou art.
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.
