Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

FIRST READING 30:10-14

A reading from the book of
Deuteronomy
Moses said to the people: “Obey the
voice of the Lord your God, keeping
those commandments and laws of his
that are written in the Book of this
Law, and you shall return to the Lord
your God with all your heart and soul.
“For this Law that I enjoin on you
today is not beyond your strength or
beyond your reach. It is not in heaven,
so that you need to wonder, “Who will
go up to heaven for us and bring it
down to us, so that we may hear it
and keep it?’ Nor is it beyond the
seas, so that you need to wonder,
“Who will cross the seas for us and
bring it back to us, so that we may
hear it and keep it?’ No, the Word is
very near you, it is in your mouth and
in your heart for your observance.’’

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

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.

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.

SIT

SECOND READING 1:15-20
A reading from the letter of St. Paul
to the Colossians

Christ Jesus is the image of the
unseen God and the first-born of all
creation,
for in him were created
all things in heaven and on earth:
everything visible and everything
invisible,
Thrones, Dominations, Sovereignties,
Powers – all things were created
through him and for him.
Before anything was created, he existed,
and he holds all things in unity.
Now the Church is his body,
he is its head.
As he is the Beginning,
he was first to be born from the dead,
so that he should be first in every way;
because God wanted all perfection
to be found in him
and all things to be reconciled through
him and for him,
everything in heaven and everything
on earth, when he made peace
by his death on the cross.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM
Ps68:14.17.30-31.33-34.36-37.R.v.33

R. Seek the Lord, you who are poor,
and your hearts will revive.
1. This is my prayer to you,
my prayer for your favour.
In your great love, answer me, O God,
with your help that never fails:
Lord, answer, for your love is kind;
in your compassion, turn towards me. R.

2. As for me in my poverty and pain
let your help, O God, lift me up.
I will praise God’s name with a song;
I will glorify him with thanksgiving. R.

3. The poor when they see it will be glad
and God-seeking hearts will revive;
for the Lord listens to the needy
and does not spurn his servants in
their chains. R.

4. For God will bring help to Zion
and rebuild the cities of Judah.
The sons of his servants shall inherit it;
those who love his name shall dwell
there. R.

GOSPEL 10:25-37
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A reading from the holy
Gospel according to Luke.
Glory to you, O Lord.

There was a lawyer who, to disconcert
Jesus, stood up and said to him,
“Master, what must I do to inherit
eternal life?” He said to him, “What is
written in the Law? What do you read
there?” He replied, “You must love the
Lord your God with all your heart, with
all your soul, with all your strength,
and with all your mind, and your
neighbour as yourself.” “You have
answered right,” said Jesus. “Do this
and life is yours.’’
But the man was anxious to justify
himself and said to Jesus, “And who is
my neighbour?” Jesus replied, “A man
was once on his way down from
Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the
hands of brigands; they took all he
had, beat him and then made off,
leaving him half dead. Now a priest
happened to be travelling down the
same road, but when he saw the man,
he passed by on the other side. In the
same way a Levite who came to the
place saw him, and passed by on the
other side. But a Samaritan traveller
who came upon him was moved with
compassion when he saw him. He
went up and bandaged his wounds,
pouring oil and wine on them. He then
lifted him on to his own mount, carried
him to the inn and looked after him.
Next day, he took out two denarii and
handed them to the innkeeper. “Look
after him,” he said, “and on my way
back I wil l make good any extra
expense you have.” Which of these
three, do you think, proved himself a
neighbour to the man who fell into the
brigands’ hands?” “The one who took
pity on him,” he replied. Jesus said to
him, “Go, and do the same yourself.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Liturgy of the Eucharist

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Look upon the offerings of the Church,
O Lord,
as she makes her prayer to you,
and grant that, when consumed by
those who believe,
they may bring ever greater holiness.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

The mystery of faith

We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection
until you come again.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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:

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

v

Lord Jesus, you are the image of the
unseen God, the first-born of all
creation, in you were created all things
in heaven and on earth.

I adore you. I welcome you. I love
you. You teach me that if I would enter
into lif I must keep the commandments
of God. God’s voice is not far away: it is
near: I hear him in my heart. He
speaks: the greatest thing that a person
can do on earth is to love God
wholeheartedly and then to look after
any of his children that are in need.

Lord, by your own love for your
Father and by your love for us,
strengthen me, in this Communion, to
do what God asks.

COMMUNION ANTIPHON Cf. Ps 83: 4-5
The sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for her
young: by your altars, O Lord of
hosts, my King and my God.
Blessed are they who dwell in your
house, for ever singing your praise.

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
Having consumed these gifts, we
pray, O Lord, that, by our participation
in this mystery,
its saving effects upon us may grow.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

God’s Spirit is in my heart.
He has called me and set me apart.
This is what I have to do,
what I have to do.

He sent me to give
the Good News to the poor,
tell pris’ners that they are pris’ners no
more,
tell blind people that they can see,
and set the down trodden free,
and go tell ev’ry one the news
that the kingdom of God has come,
and go tell ev’ry one the news
that God’s kingdom has come.

Just as the Father sent me,
so I’m sending you out to be
my witness throughout the world,
the whole of the world.

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.

Bow for the blessing – No17 – short silence
Bestow increase of heavenly grace
on your faithful, O Lord;
may they praise you with their lips,
with their souls, with their lives;
and since it is by your gift that we
exist, may our whole lives be yours.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

And may the blessing of almighty God,
the Father, and the Son, and the
Holy Spirit, come down on you and
remain with you forever.
Amen.

Go and announce the Gospel of
the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

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 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 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.

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.

Love is his word, love is his way,
Feasting with kin, fasting alone,
Living and dying, rising again,
Love, only love, is his way.
Richer than gold is the love of my Lord:
Better than splendour and wealth.

Love is his way, love is his mark,
Sharing his last Passover feast,
Christ at his table, host to the twelve,
Love, only love, is his mark.
Love is his mark, love is his sign,
Bread for our strength, wine for our joy,
“This is my body, this is my blood,”
Love, only love, is his sign.
Love is his sign, love is his news,
“Do this,” he said, “lest you forget
all my deep sorrow, all my dear blood.”
Love, only love, is his news.
Love is his news, love is his name,
We are his own, chosen and called,
Family, brethren, cousins and kin.
Love, only love, is his name.
