THE JERUSALEM MASS SHEET
18TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (A) 2ND AUGUST 2020

THE INTRODUCTORY RITES

Entrance Hymn:
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary and worn and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's Light;
look unto me, thy morn shall rise,
and all thy day be bright."
I looked to Jesus and I found
in him my Star, my Sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk,
'til trav’ling das are done.

All make the Sign of the Cross as the Priest says:
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.        Amen.
The Priest greets everyone present.
The people respond:And with your spirit.
The Mass of the day may be introduced.

Penitential Act
The Priest invites the people to repentance using one of the Penitential Acts.
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,
And, striking their breast, they say:
through my fault, through my fault,
though 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.
The Priest says the absolution. All reply: Amen.

Kyrie
Lord, have mercy.                            Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.                         Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.                            Lord, have mercy.

Gloria
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people of good will.
We praise you,
we bless you,
we adore you,
we glorify you,
we give you thanks for your great glory,
Lord God, heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.
Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.

The Collect
Draw near to your servants, O Lord,
and answer their prayers with unceasing
kindness,
that, for those who glory in you as their Creator and guide,
you may restore what you have created
and keep safe what you have restored.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit one God, for ever and ever. Amen   

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading
A reading from prophet Isaiah            55:1-3

Thus says the Lord:
Oh, come to the water all you who are thirsty;
though you have no money, come!
Buy corn without money, and eat,
and, at no cost, wine and milk.
Why spend money on what is not bread,
your wages on what fails to satisfy?
Listen, listen to me and you will have good
things to eat
and rich food to enjoy.
Pay attention, come to me;
listen, and your soul will live.
With you I will make an everlasting covenant
out of the favours promised to David.

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Psalm Ps 144:8-9.15-18. R.v16
You open wide your hand, O Lord,
you grant our desires.

The Lord is kind and full of compassion,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
How good is the Lord to all,
Compassionate to all his creatures.

You open wide your hand, O Lord,
you grant our desires.

The eyes of all creatures look to you
and you give them their food in due time.
You open wide your hand,
grant the desires of all who live.

You open wide your hand, O Lord,
you grant our desires.

The Lord is just in all his ways
and loving in all his deeds.
He is close to all who call him,
who call on him from their hearts.

You open wide your hand, O Lord,
you grant our desires.

Second Reading
A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Romans 8:35.37-39

Nothing can come between us and the love of
Christ, even if we are troubled or worried or being
persecuted, or lacking food or clothes, or being
threatened or even attacked. These are the trials
through which we triumph, by the power of him
who loved us.
For I am certain of this: neither death nor life, no
angel, no prince, nothing exists, nothing still
to come, not any power, or height or depth, nor
any created thing, can ever come between us and
the love of God made visible in Christ Jesus our
Lord.

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God

Man does not live on bread alone,

mouth of God.
Alleluia!

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 14:13-21

Glory to you, O Lord.

When Jesus received the news of John the
Baptist’s death he withdrew by boat to a lonely
place where they could be themselves. But the
people heard of this and, leaving towns, went
after him on foot. So as he stepped ashore he
saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them and
healed their sick.
When evening came, the disciples went to him
and said ‘This is a lonely place, and the time has
slipped by; so send the people away, and they can
go to the villages to buy themselves some food.’
Jesus replied, ‘There is no need for them to go:
give them something to eat yourselves.’ But they
answered, ‘All we have with us is five loaves and
two fish.’ ‘Bring them here to me’, he said. He
gave orders that the people were to sit down on
the grass; then he took the five loaves and the two
fish, raised his eyes to heaven and said the
blessing. And breaking the loaves he handed
them to his disciples who gave them to the
crowds. They all ate as much as they wanted,
and they collected the scraps remaining, twelve
baskets full. Those who ate numbered about five
thousand men, to say nothing of women and
children.

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

The Homily                         

The Nicene Creed                                                                                                       Stand
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,
and by the Holy Spirit                    (all bow)
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, 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 for the resurrection of the dead
and life of the world to come. Amen

The Prayer of the Faithful
Response example: Lord, in your mercy. Hear our prayer.

After the concluding prayer all say: Amen.  

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST           
The offerings are brought to the altar. A hymn may be sung. If the Priest says the two prayers of offering aloud the response both times is:
Blessed be God for ever.

Offertory:

The people reply:
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.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Graciously sanctify these gifts, O Lord, we pray,
and, accepting the oblation of this spiritual sacrifice,
make of us an eternal offering to you.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

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

Preface VI of the Sundays in Ordinary Time
The pledge of the eternal Passover
(The Priest may use a different Eucharistic Preface.)

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.

For in you we live and move and have our being,
and while in this body
we not only experience the daily effects of your care,
but even now possess the pledge of life eternal.

For, having received the first fruits of the Spirit,
through whom you raised up Jesus from the dead,
we hope for an everlasting share in the Paschal
Mystery.

And so, with all the Angels, we praise you,
as in joyful celebration we acclaim:

Sanctus:
Oshana, Eshanu sathatham
Oshana, oshana, oshana ( 2 )
 
Parishudhan, parishudhan,

Kneel

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II
(The Priest may use a different Eucharistic Prayer.)
You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness
Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your spirits upon them like the dewfall, so that they may become for us the Body 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 have 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.
The people continue, acclaiming:
When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
Until you come again.

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 the 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 N. our Pope and N. our Bishop 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.

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

THE COMMUNION RITE                                            
The Priest invites all to join in the Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.

The Priest continues alone:
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 forever.
The Priest
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 Deacon, or the Priest adds:
Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
The Priest takes the host and breaks it.

Meanwhile the people say or sing:

Agnus Dei:
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.
Kneel

The Priest shows the host to the people and says:
Behold the Lamb of God,
Behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the support of the Lamb.
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 or other minister says to each communicant:
The Body [Blood] of Christ.
Each communicant answers: Amen

Communion hymn:
Oh let all who thirst
Let them come to the water
And let all who have nothing
Let them come to the Lord
Without money without price
Why should you pay the price
Except for the Lord?
And let all who seek
Let them come to the water
And let all who have nothing
Let them come to the Lord
Without money without strife
Why should you spend your life
Except for the Lord?

And let all who toil
Let them come to the water
And let all who are weary
Let them come to the Lord
All who labor without rest
How can your soul find rest
Except for the Lord?

And let all the poor
Let them come to the water
Bring the ones who are laden
Bring them all to the Lord
Bring the children without might
Easy the load and light
Come to the Lord.

Communion Antiphon Wis 16: 20
You have given us, O Lord, bread from heaven,
Endowed with all delights and sweetness in every taste.

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION 
Accompany with constant protection, O Lord,
those you renew with these heavenly gifts
and, in your never-failing care for them,
make them worthy of eternal redemption.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen

THE CONCLUDING RITES
Announcements may be made.
Then:
Priest:The Lord be with you.
All: And with your spirit.

May almighty God bless you,
the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Then the Deacon, or the Priest, says:
Go forth, the Mass is ended.
Or
Go and announce the Gospel of the Lord. 
Or
Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.                                    
Or
Go in peace
Thanks be to God.

Recessional Hymn:

Now thank we all our God
with heart and hands and voices,
who wondrous things has done,
in whom his world rejoices;
who from our mothers' arms
has blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us,
and keep us in his grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
in this world in the next.

All praise and thanks to God
the Father now be given,
the Son and him who reigns,
with them in highest heaven
the one eternal God,
whom earth and heav’n adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.

THE INTRODUCTORY RITES

Entrance Hymn:

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art -
Thou my best thought, in the day and the night;
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word;
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord.
Thou my great Father; and I Thy true heir,
Thou in me dwelling and I in Thy care.

Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight,
Be thou my armour, and be thou my might,
thou my soul’s shelter, and thou my high tow’r,
raise thou me heav’nward, O power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor all the world’s praise;
Thou mine inheritance, Through all my days;
Thou and thou only, the first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my treasure thou art.

High King of heaven, when battle is won,
grant heav’n’s joys to me, O bright heav’n’s sun;
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be my vision, O ruler of all.

And, striking their breast, they say:
through my fault, through my fault,
though my most grievous fault;

all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
The Priest says the absolution. All reply: Amen.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit
one God, for ever and ever Amen   

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading
A reading from the first book of the Kings 3:5. 7-12.

The Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream and
said. ‘Ask what you would like me to give you.’
Solomon replied, ‘Lord, my God, you have made
your servant king in succession to David my
father. But I am a very young man, unskilled in
leadership. Your servant finds himself in the midst
of this people of yours that you have chosen, a
people so many its numbers cannot be counted
or reckoned. Give your servant a heart to
understand how to discern between good and
evil, for who could govern this people of yours that
is so great?’ It pleased the Lord that Solomon
should have asked for this. ‘Since you have asked
for this’ the Lord said ‘and not asked for long life
for yourself or riches or the lives of your enemies,
but you have asked for a discerning judgment for
yourself, here and now I do what you ask. I give
you a heart wise and shrewd as none before you
has had and none will have after you.’

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

R.  Lord, how I love your law!
My part, I have resolved, O Lord,
is to obey your word.
The law from your mouth means more to me
than silver and gold

Lord, how I love your law!

Let your love be ready to console me
by your promise to your servant.
Let your love come to me and I shall live
for your law is my delight.

Lord, how I love your law!

That is why I love your commands
more than finest gold.
That is why I rule my life by your precepts:
I hate false ways.

Lord, how I love your law!

Your will is wonderful indeed;
therefore I obey it.
The unfolding of your word gives light
and teaches the simple.

Lord, how I love your law!

Second Reading
A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Romans 8:28-30

We know that by turning everything to their good
God co-operates with all those who love him, with
all those that he has called according to his
purpose. They are the ones he chose specially
long ago and intended to become true images of
his Son, so that his Son might be the eldest of
many brothers. He called those he intended for
this; those he called he justified, and with those
he justified he shared his glory.

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God

Gospel Acclamation Jn 15:15
Alleluia,alleluia!                                                                                                                            
I call you friends, says the Lord,
Because I have made known to you
Everything I have learnt from my Father.
Alleluia!

Alleluya, alleluya, alleluya, alleluya (x2)

1) Mimi nasikiya ee

2) Mafundisho ya Bwana                              
Inaleta uzima ee ndani mwangu. (x2)

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 13:44-46

Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus said to the crowds, ‘The kingdom of
heaven is like treasure hidden in a field which
someone has found; he hides it again, goes off
happy, sells everything he owns and buys the
field.
‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant
looking for fine pearls; when he finds one of great
value he goes and sells everything he owns and
buys it]
’Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet
cast into the sea that brings in a haul of all kinds.
When it is full, the fisherman haul it ashore; then,
sitting down, they collect the good ones in a
basket and throw away those that are not use. This
is how it will be at the end of time: the angels will
appear and separate the wicked from the just to
throw them into the blazing furnace where there
will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
‘Have you understood all this?’ They said ‘Yes.’
And he said to them, ‘Well then, every scribe who
becomes a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is
like a householder who brings out from his
storeroom things both new and old.’

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

The salvation of man by a man
(The Priest may use a different Preface.)
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.
For we know it belongs to your boundless glory,
that you came to the aid of mortal beings with
your divinity
and even fashioned for us a remedy out of
mortality itself,
that the cause of our downfall
might become the means of our salvation,
through Christ our Lord.
Through him the host of Angels adores your
majesty
and rejoices in your presence for ever.
May our voices, we pray, join with theirs
in one chorus of exultant praise, as we acclaim:

Humbly we pray that, partaking of the Body and the 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 N. our Pope and N. our Bishop 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.

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

THE COMMUNION RITE                                            
The Priest invites all to join in the Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.

The Priest continues alone:
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 forever.
The Priest
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.

Recessional Hymn:

Guide me, O thou great Redeemer,
pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
hold me with thy powerful hand:
bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
feed me till I want no more,
feed me till I want no more.

Open now the crystal fountain,
whence the healing stream doth flow;
let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through:
strong deliverer, strong deliverer,
be thou still my strength and shield;
be thou still my strength and shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
death of death, and hell's destruction,
land me safe on Canaan's side:
songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee.

THE INTRODUCTORY RITES

Entrance Hymn:

Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways;
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives Thy service find,
In deeper rev’rence, praise.

In simple trust like theirs who heard
Beside the Syrian sea
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word,
Rise up and follow Thee.

O Sabbath rest by Galilee,
O calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love!

Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.

Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and Thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small Voice of calm.

All make the Sign of the Cross as the Priest says:
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.        Amen.
The Priest greets everyone present.
The people respond:And with your spirit.
The Mass of the day may be introduced.

Penitential Act
The Priest invites the people to repentance using one of the Penitential Acts.
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,
And, striking their breast, they say:
through my fault, through my fault,
though 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.
The Priest says the absolution. All reply: Amen.

you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,

you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,

with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading
A reading from the book of Wisdom 12:13-11. 16-19.

There is no god, other than you, who cares for
everything,to whom you might have to prove that you never
judged unjustly.
Your justice has its source in strength,
your sovereignty over all makes you lenient to all.
You show your strength when your sovereign power is questioned
and you expose the insolence of those who know it;
but, disposing of such strength, you are mild in judgment,
you govern us with great lenience,
for you have only to will, and your power is there.
By acting thus you have taught a lesson to your people
how the virtuous man must be kindly to his fellow man,
and you have given your sons the good hope that after sin you will grant repentance.

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Psalm Ps.85:5-6.9-10.15-16. R.v5

R.   O Lord, you are good and forgiving.
O Lord, you are good and forgiving,
full of love to all who call.
Give heed, O Lord, to my prayer
and attend to the sound of my voice.

O Lord, you are good and forgiving.

All the nations shall come to adore you
and glorify your name, O Lord:
for you are great and do marvellous deeds,
you who alone are God.

O Lord, you are good and forgiving.

But you, God of mercy and compassion,
slow to anger, O Lord,
abounding in love and truth,
turn and take pity on me.

O Lord, you are good and forgiving.

Second Reading
A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Romans 8:26-27

The Spirit comes to help us in our weakness. For
when we cannot choose words in order to pray
properly, the Spirit himself expresses our plea in a
way that could never be put into words, and God
who knows everything in our hearts knows
perfectly well what he means, and that the pleas
of the saints expressed by the Spirit are according
to the mind of God.

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God

Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia, alleluia,alleluia!                                                                          
Give the glory and the honour to the Lord.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Give the glory and the honour to the Lord. 

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 13:24-43

Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus put a parable before the crowds, ‘The
kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man
who sowed good seed in his field. While
everybody was asleep his enemy came, sowed
darnel all among the wheat, and made off. When
the new wheat sprouted and ripened, the darnel
appeared as well. The owner’s servants went to
him and said, “Sir, was it not good seed that you
sowed in your field? If so, where does the darnel
come from?”  “Some enemy has done this” he
answered. And the servants said, “Do you want us
to go and weed it out?” But he said, “No, because
when you weed out the darnel you might pull up
the wheat with it. Let them both grow till the
harvest; and at harvest time I shall say to the
reapers: First collect the darnel and tie it in bundles
to be burnt, then gather the wheat into my barn.”

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

The Homily                         

The Nicene Creed                                                                                                       Stand
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,
and by the Holy Spirit                    (all bow)
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 on the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom shall have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, 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 for the resurrection of the dead
and life of the world to come. Amen

The Prayer of the Faithful
Response example: Lord, in your mercy. Hear our prayer.

After the concluding prayer all say: Amen.  

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST           
The offerings are brought to the altar. A hymn may be sung. If the Priest says the two prayers of offering aloud the response both times is:
Blessed be God for ever.

Offertory:
God forgave my sin in Jesus' name,
I've been born again in Jesus' name,
and in Jesus' name I come to you
to share his love as he told me to.

He said:'Freely, freely you have received;
freely, freely give.
Go in my name and because you believe,
others will know that I live.'

All power is given in Jesus' name,
in earth and heaven in Jesus' name,
and in Jesus' name I come to you
to share his power as he told me to.

He said:'Freely, freely you have received;
freely, freely give.
Go in my name and because you believe,
others will know that I live.'

God gives us life in Jesus’ name
He lives in us in Jesus’ name
And in Jesus’ name I come to you
To share his peace as he told me to.

He said:'Freely, freely you have received;
freely, freely give.
Go in my name and because you believe,
others will know that I live.'

The people reply:
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.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
O God, who in the one perfect sacrifice
brought to completion varies offerings of the law,
accept, we pray, this sacrifice from your faithful servants
and make it holy, as you blessed the gifts of Abel,
so that what each has offered to the honour of your majesty
may benefit the salvation of all.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

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

Preface lll of the Sundays in Ordinary Time
The salvation of man by a man
(The Priest may use a different Preface.)
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.
For we know it belongs to your boundless glory,
that you came to the aid of mortal beings with
your divinity
and even fashioned for us a remedy out of
mortality itself,
that the cause of our downfall
might become the means of our salvation,
through Christ our Lord.
Through him the host of Angels adores your
majesty
and rejoices in your presence for ever.
May our voices, we pray, join with theirs
in one chorus of exultant praise, as we acclaim:

Sanctus:
Holy, holy, holy the Lord,
God of endless power and might;
The earth, the heavens are full of your love.
Sing hosanna! Glory to God!

Blessed is he, the one who is sent
in the name of God the Most High
O holy, holy, holy our Lord,
Sing hosanna! Glory to God!

Kneel

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER III
(The Priest may use a different Eucharistic Prayer.)
You are indeed Holy, O Lord,
and all you have created
rightly gives you praise,
for through your son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
by the power and working of the Holy Spirit,
you give life to all things and make them holy,
and you never cease to gather a people
to yourself,
so that from the rising of the sun to its setting,
a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name.
Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you:
by the same Spirit graciously make holy
these gifts we have bought to you for
consecration,
that they may become the Body and Blood
of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,
at whose command we celebrate these mysteries.

For on the night he was betrayed
he himself took bread,
and giving you hanks, he said the blessing,
broke the bread 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 giving you thanks, he said the blessing,
and gave the chalice to his disciples saying:

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FORM 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,

The people continue, acclaiming: 
Save us, Saviour of the world,
for by your Cross and Resurrection
you have set us free.

Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the memorial
of the saving Passion of your Son,
his wondrous Resurrection
and Ascension into heaven,
and as we look forward to his second coming,
we offer you in thanksgiving
this holy and living sacrifice.
Look, we pray, upon the oblation of your Church
and, recognizing the sacrificial Victim
by whose death
you willed to reconcile us to yourself,
grant that we, who are nourished
by the Body and Blood of you Son
and filled with his Holy Spirit,
may become one body, one spirit in Christ.

May he make of us
an eternal offering to you,
so that we may obtain an inheritance with you elect,
especially with the most blessed Virgin Mary,
Mother of God,
with blessed Joseph, her Spouse,
with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs,
and with all the Saints,
on whose constant intercession in your presence,
we rely for unfailing help.

May this Sacrifice of our reconciliation,
we pray, O Lord,
advance the peace and salvation of all the world.
Be pleased to confirm in faith and charity
your pilgrim Church on earth,
with your Servant Francis our Pope and John our Bishop,
the Order of Bishops, all the clergy,
and the entire people you have gained for
your own.
Listen graciously to the prayers of this family,
whom you have summoned before you:
in your compassion, O merciful Father,
gather to yourself all your children
scattered throughout the world.

To our departed brothers and sisters
and to all who were pleasing to you
at their passing form this life,
give kind admittance to your kingdom.
There we hope to enjoy for ever the fullness
of your glory
through Christ our Lord,
through whom you bestow on the world all
that is good.

Through him, and with and in him,
O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honour is yours,

THE COMMUNION RITE                                            
The Priest invites all to join in the Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.

The Priest continues alone:
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 forever.
The Priest
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 Deacon, or the Priest adds:
Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
The Priest takes the host and breaks it.

Meanwhile the people say or sing:

Agnus Dei:
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.

Kneel

The Priest shows the host to the people and says:
Behold the Lamb of God,
Behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the support of the Lamb.
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 or other minister says to each communicant:
The Body [Blood] of Christ.

Recessional Hymn:

O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy power 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!

When through the woods and forest glades I wander
and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
and hear the brook, and feel he gentle breeze;

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!

And when I think that God His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die - I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:

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!

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home- what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!

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!

who lives and reigns with you in the
unity of the Holy Spirit,

Amen   

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading
A reading from the prophet Isaiah 55:10-11

Thus, says the Lord: ‘As the rain and the
snow come down from heavens and
do not return without watering the earth,
making it yield and giving growth to
provide seed for the sower and bread for
the eating, so the word that goes from my
mouth does not return to me empty,
without carrying out my will and
succeeding in what it was sent to do.’

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Psalm Ps 144:1-2.8-11.13-14. R.v1

R) Some seed fell into rich soil and produced its crop

You care for the earth, give it water,
you fill it with riches.
Your river in heaven brims over
To provide its grain

R) Some seed fell into rich soil and produced its crop

And thus, you provide for the earth;
you drench its furrows;
you level it, soften it with showers;
you bless its growth.

R) Some seed fell into rich soil and produced its crop

You crown the year with your goodness.
Abundance flows in your steps,
in the pastures of the wilderness it
flows.

R) Some seed fell into rich soil and produced its crop

     

Second Reading
A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Romans 8:18-23

I think that what we suffer in this life can
Never be compared to the glory, as yet
Unrevealed, which is waiting for us. The
whole creation is eagerly waiting for God
to reveal his sons. It was not for any fault
on the part of creation that it was made
unable to attain its purpose, it was made
so by God; but creation still retains the
hope of being freed, like us, from its
slavery to decadence, to enjoy the same
freedom and glory as the children of
God. From the beginning till now the
entire creation, as we know, has been
groaning in one great act of giving birth;
and not only creation, but all of us who
possess the first-fruits of the Spirit, we too
groan inwardly as we wait for our bodies
to be set free.

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew

Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus left the house and sat by the
lakeside, but such large crowds gathered
round him that he got into a boat and sat
there. The people all stood on the beach,
and he told them many things in parables.

He said, ‘Imagine a sower going out to
sow. As he sowed, some seeds fell on the
edge of the path, and the birds came and
ate them up. Others fell on patches of
rock where they found little soil and
sprang up straight away, because there
was no depth of earth; but as soon as the
sun came up they were scorched and,
not having any root, they withered
away. Others fell among thorns, and the
thorns grew up and choked them. Others
fell on rich soil and produced their crop,
some a hundredfold, some sixty, some
thirty. Listen, anyone who has ears!’

Then the disciples went up to him and
asked, ‘Why do you talk to them in
parables?’ ‘Because’ he replied, ‘the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven are
revealed to you, but they are not
revealed to them. Fr anyone who has
will be given more, and he will have
more than enough; but from anyone who
has not, even what he has will be taken
away. The reason I talk to them in
parables is that they look without seeing
and listen without hearing or
understanding. So, in their case this
prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled:

You will listen and listen again, but not
understand,
see and see again, but not perceive.
For the heart of this nation has grown
coarse,
their ears are dull of hearing, and they
have shut their eyes,
for fear they should see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their heart,
and be converted
and be healed by me.

‘But happy are your eyes because they
see, your ears because they hear! I tell
you solemnly, many prophets and holy
men longed to see what you see, and
never saw it; to hear what you hear, and
never heard it.

You, therefore, are to hear the parable of
the sower. When anyone hears the word
of the kingdom without understanding,
the evil one comes and carries off what
was sown in his heart: this is the mean
who received the seed on the edge of the
path. The one who received it on patches
of rock is the man who hears the word
and welcomes it at once with joy. But he
has no root in him, he does not last; let
some trial come, or some persecution on
account of the word, and he falls away at
once. The one who received the seed in
thorns is the man who hears th word,
but the worries of this world and the lure
of riches choke the word and so he
produces nothing. And the one who
received the seed in rich soil is the man
who hears the word and understand it;
he is the one who yields a harvest and
produced now a hundredfold, now sixty,
now thirty.’

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

The Homily                         

The Nicene Creed                                                                                                       Stand
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,
and by the Holy Spirit                    (all bow)
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 on the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom shall have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, 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 for the resurrection of the dead
and life of the world to come. Amen

The Prayer of the Faithful
Response example: Lord, in your mercy. Hear our prayer.

After the concluding prayer all say: Amen.  

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST           
The offerings are brought to the altar. A hymn may be sung. If the Priest says the two prayers of offering aloud the response both times is:
Blessed be God for ever.

Offertory:
Ah……Ah      (Ah……Ah) 
Ialay sa Kanya, tunay na pagsamba
Sarili ihandog, sa Diyos ay maglingkod
Bilang haing buhay

Tanging sa kanya lang, panahong kalakasan
Iaalay kay Hesus, ang buhay mo ngayon

Ah……Ah      (Ah……Ah)

Sarili ihandog, sa Diyos ay maglingkod

Tanging sa kanya lang, panahong kalakasan
Iaalay kay Hesus, ang buhay mo ngayon

The people reply:
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.

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.

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

Preface lll of the Sundays in Ordinary Time
The salvation of man by a man
(The Priest may use a different Preface.)
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.
For we know it belongs to your boundless glory,
that you came to the aid of mortal beings with
your divinity
and even fashioned for us a remedy out of
mortality itself,
that the cause of our downfall
might become the means of our salvation,
through Christ our Lord.
Through him the host of Angels adores your
majesty
and rejoices in your presence for ever.
May our voices, we pray, join with theirs
in one chorus of exultant praise, as we acclaim:

Sanctus:
Santo, Santo, Santo
Panginoong Diyos na makapangyarihan
Napupuno ang langit at lupa ng kal’walhatian Mo
Osana, Osana sa kaitaasan!
Osana, Osana sa kaitaasan!

Pinagpala ang naparirito sa ngalan ng Panginoon
Osana, Osana sa kaitaasan!
Osana, Osana sa kaitaasan!

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II
(The Priest may use a different Eucharistic Prayer.)
You are indeed Holy, O Lord,
the fount of all holiness.
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 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 giving you thanks, he said the blessing, and gave the chalice 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,

The people continue, acclaiming: 
We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection
until you come again.
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 N. our Pope and N. our Bishop
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.
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.

THE COMMUNION RITE                                            
The Priest invites all to join in the Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.

The Priest continues alone:
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 forever.
The Priest
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 Deacon, or the Priest adds:
Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
The Priest takes the host and breaks it.

Meanwhile the people say or sing:

Agnus Dei:
Kordero ng Diyos na nag-aalis                          
Ng mga kasalanan ng sanlibutan                      
Maawa Ka, maawa Ka sa amin...  (2x)

Kordero ng Diyos na nag-aalis
Ng mga kasalanan ng sanlibutan
Ipagkaloob Mo sa amin ang kapayapaan

Kneel

The Priest shows the host to the people and says:
Behold the Lamb of God,
Behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the support of the Lamb.
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 or other minister says to each communicant:
The Body [Blood] of Christ.
Each communicant answers: Amen

THE COMMUNION ANTIPHON Mt 11 : 28
Come to me, all who labour and are burdened,

Dakilang Katapatan
Sadyang kay buti ng ating Panginoon
Magtatapat sa habang panahon
Maging sa kabila ng ating pagkukulang
Biyaya Niya’y patuloy na laan

Katulad ng pagsinag ng gintong araw
Patuloy Siyang nagbibigay tanglaw
Kaya sa puso ko’t damdamin
Katapatan Niya’y aking pupurihin

Koro:
Dakila Ka O Diyos, tapat Ka ngang tunay
Magmula pa sa ugat ng aming lahi

Sa buong mundo’y aking aawitin
Dakila ang Iyong katapatan
Pag-ibig  Mo’y walang hanggan  … Koro

Dakila Ka O Diyos sa habang panahon
Katapatan Mo’y matibay na sandigan
Sa bawat pighati tagumpay man ay naroon
Daluyan ng pag-asa kung kailanga’y hinahon
Pag-ibig Mo’y alay sa‘min noon hanggang ngayon
Dakila Ka  O Diyos

Recessional Hymn:
I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me;
How He left the realms of glory
For the cross on Calvary.
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me,
Sing it with the saints in glory,
Gathered by the crystal sea.

I was lost, but Jesus found me,
Found the sheep that went astray,
Raised me up and gently led me
Back into the narrow way,
Days of darkness still may meet me
Sorrow’s path I oft may tread;
But his presence still is with me,
By his guiding hand I’ led.

He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet:
Then he’ll bear me safely over
Made by grace for glory meet.
Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me –
Sing it with his saints in glory,

THE JERUSALEM MASS SHEET
14TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (A) 5TH JULY 2020

THE INTRODUCTORY RITES

Entrance Hymn:
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary and worn and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's Light;
look unto me, thy morn shall rise,
and all thy day be bright."
I looked to Jesus and I found
in him my Star, my Sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk,
'til trav’ling das are done.

All make the Sign of the Cross as the Priest says:
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.        Amen.
The Priest greets everyone present.
The people respond:And with your spirit.
The Mass of the day may be introduced.

Penitential Act
The Priest invites the people to repentance using one of the Penitential Acts.
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,
And, striking their breast, they say:
through my fault, through my fault,
though 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.
The Priest says the absolution. All reply: Amen.

Kyrie
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Gloria
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people of good will.
We praise you,
we bless you,
we adore you,
we glorify you,
we give you thanks for your great glory,
Lord God, heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.
Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.

The Collect
O God, who in the abasement of your Son
have raised up a fallen world,
fill your faithful with holy joy,
for on those you have rescued from slavery to sin
you bestow eternal gladness.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen   

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading
A reading from the prophet Zechariah 9:9-10

The Lord says this:
'Rejoice heart and soul, daughter of Zion!
Shout with gladness, daughter of Jerusalem!
See now, your king comes to you;
he is victorious, he is triumphant,
humble and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
He will banish chariots from Ephraim
and horses from Jerusalem;
the bow of war will be banished.
He will proclaim peace for the nations.
His empire shall stretch from sea to sea,
from the River to the ends of the earth.'
The word of the Lord.

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God..

Psalm Ps 144:1-2.8-11.13-14. R.v1

R) I will bless your name for ever,
O God my King.

I will give you glory, O God my King,
I will bless your name for ever.
I will bless you day after day
and praise your name for ever. (R)

The Lord is kind and full of compassion,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
How good is the Lord to all,
compassionate to all his creatures. (R)

All your creatures shall thank you, O Lord,
and your friends shall repeat their blessing.
They shall speak of the glory of your reign
and declare your might, O God. (R)

The Lord is faithful in all his words
and loving in all his deeds.
The Lord supports all who fall
and raises all who are bowed down. (R)
     

Second Reading
A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Romans 8:9.11 -13

Your interests are not in the unspiritual, but in the
spiritual, since the Spirit of God has made his
home in you. In fact, unless you possessed the
Spirit of Christ you would not belong to him, and
if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead
is living in you, then he who raised Jesus from the
dead will give life to your own mortal bodies
through his Spirit living in you.
So then, my brothers, there is no necessity for
us to obey our unspiritual selves or to live
unspiritual lives. If you do live in that way, you are
doomed to die; but if by the Spirit you put an end
to the misdeeds of the body you will live.
The word of the Lord.

The word of the lord.
Thanks be to God

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew

Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus exclaimed, 'I bless you, Father, Lord of
heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from
the learned and the clever and revealing them to
mere children. Yes, Father, for that is what it
pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted
to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son
except the Father, just as no one knows the
Father except the Son and those to whom the Son
chooses to reveal him.
'Come to me, all you who labour and are
overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder
my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and
humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light. '

Let them come to the Lord
Without money without strife
Why should you spend your life

And let all who are weary
Let them come to the Lord
All who labor without rest
How can your soul find rest
Except for the Lord?

Bring the ones who are laden
Bring them all to the Lord
Bring the children without might
Easy the load and light
Come to the Lord

Enter every trembling heart.

Into every troubled breast,

Let us find thy promised rest.

Till in heaven we take our place
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
Lost in wonder, love and praise.

Entrance Hymn:
Be still, my soul, The Lord is at your side
Bear patiently, the cross of grief and pain
Leave to your God, to order and provide
In every change, He faithful will remain
Be still, my soul, your best your heavenly friend
Through thorny ways, leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul, your God will undertake
To guide the future as He has the past
Your hope, your confidence, let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be clear at last
Be still, my soul, the tempests still obey
His voice who ruled them once in Galilee.

Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone
Sorrow forgotten, love's pure joy restored

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 12:1-11

King Herod started persecuting certain
members of the Church. He beheaded James
the brother of John, and when he saw that this
pleased the Jews he decided to arrest Peter as
well. This was during the days of Unleavened
Bread, and he put Peter in prison,
assigning four squads of four soldiers each to guard him
in turns. Herod meant to try Peter in public
after the end of Passover week. All the time
Peter was under guard the Church prayed to
God for him unremittingly.
On the night before Herod was to try him,
Peter was sleeping between two soldiers,
fastened with double chains, while guards kept
watch at the main entrance to the prison Then
suddenly the angel of the Lord stood there, and
the cell was filled with light. He tapped Peter
on the side and woke him. ‘Get up!’ he said
‘Hurry!’ – and the chains fell from his hands.
The angel then said, ‘Put on your belt and
Sandals.’ After he had done this, the angel next
Said, ‘Wrap your cloak round you and follow
me.’ Peter followed him, but he had no idea that
what the angel did was all happening in reality;
he thought he was seeing a vision. They
passed through two guard posts on after the
other, and reached the iron gate leading to the
city. This opened of its own accord; they went
through it and had walked the whole length of
one street when suddenly the angel left him. It
was only then that Peter came to himself. ‘Now
I know it is all true,’ he said, ‘The Lord really did
send his angel and has saved me from Herod
and from all that the Jewish people were so
certain would happen to me.’

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God..

Psalm  Ps 33:2-9. R v5

R) From all my terrors the Lord sent me free.

I will bless the Lord at all times,
His praise always on my lips;
in the Lord my soul shall make its boast.
The humble shall hear and be glad. (R)

Glorify the Lord with me.
Together let us praise his name.
I sought the Lord and he answered me;
from all my terrors he set me free. (R)
Look towards him and be radiant;
let your faces not be abashed.
This poor man called; the Lord heard him
and rescued him from all his distress. (R)

The angel of the Lord is encamped
Around those who revere him, to rescue them.
Taste and see that the Lord is good.

Second Reading
A reading from the second letter of St Paul to Timothy  4:6-8, 17-18

My life is already being poured away as a
libation, and the time has come for me to be
gone. I have fought the good fight to the end; I
have run the race to the finish; I have kept the
faith; all there is to come now is the crown of
righteousness reserved for me, which the Lord,
the righteous judge, will give to me on that Day;
and not only to me but to all those who have
longed for his Appearing.
The Lord stood by me and gave me power, so
that through me the whole message might be
proclaimed for all the pagans to hear; and so, I
was rescued from the lion’s mouth. The Lord
will rescue me from all evil attempts on me, and
bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To
him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

The word of the lord.
Thanks be to God

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew

Glory to you, O Lord.

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea
Philippi, he put this question to his disciples,
‘Who do people say the Son of Man is?’ And
they said, ‘Some say he is John the Baptist,
some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the
prophets.’ ‘But you, he said ‘who do you say I
am?’ Then Simon Peter spoke up, ‘You are the
Christ,’ he said, ‘the Son of the living God.’
Jesus replied, ‘Simon son of Jonah, you are a
happy man! Because it was not flesh and blood
that revealed this to you but my Father in
heaven. So, I now say to you: You are Peter
and on this rock, I will build my Church. And the
gates of the underworld can never hold out
against it. I will give you the keys of the
kingdom of heaven: whatever you bind on
earth shall be considered bound in heaven;
whatever you loose on earth shall be
considered loosed in heaven.’

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

The Homily                         

The Nicene Creed                                                                                                       Stand
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,
and by the Holy Spirit                    (all bow)
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 on the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom shall have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, Giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son:
Who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

I believe in one holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins,
and I look for the resurrection of the dead
and life of the world to come. Amen

The Prayer of the Faithful
Response example: Lord, in your mercy. Hear our prayer.

After the concluding prayer all say: Amen.  

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST           
The offerings are brought to the altar. A hymn may be sung. If the Priest says the two prayers of offering aloud the response both times is:
Blessed be God for ever.

Offertory:

The people reply:
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.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
May the prayer of the Apostles, O Lord,
accompany the sacrificial gift
that we present to your name for consecration,
and may their intercession make us devoted to you
in celebration of the sacrifice.
Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

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

Preface: The twofold mission of Peter and
Paul in the Church
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.

For by your providence
the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul bring us joy:
Peter, foremost in confessing the faith,
Paul, its outstanding preacher,
Peter, who established the early Church
from the remnant of Israel,
Paul, master and teacher of the Gentiles that
you call.

And so, each in a different way
gathered together the one family of Christ;
and revered together throughout the world,
they share one Martyr’s crown.

And therefore, with all the Angels and Saints
we declare your glory, as with one voice, we acclaim.

Sanctus:
Holy, holy, holy theLord
God of endless power and might.
The earth, the heavens are full of your love.
Sing Hosanna! Glory to God!

Blessed is he, the one who is sent
in the name of God the Most High.
O holy, holy, holy our Lord
Sing Hosanna! Glory to God!

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER III
(The Priest may use a different Eucharistic Prayer.)
You are indeed Holy, O Lord, and all you have created rightly gives you praise, for through your on our Lord Jesus Christ, by the power and working of the Holy Spirit, you give life to all things and make them holy, and you never cease to gather a people to yourself, so that from the rising of the sun to its setting, a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name. Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you: by the same Spirit graciously make holy these gifts we have bought to you for consecration, that they may become the Body and  Blood of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, at whose command we celebrate these mysteries. For on the night he was betrayed he himself took bread, and giving you hanks, he said the blessing, broke the bread 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 giving you thanks, he said the blessing, and gave the chalice 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,

The people continue, acclaiming: 
Save us, Saviour of the world,
for by your Cross and Resurrection
you have set us free.
Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the memorial of the saving Passion of your Son, his wondrous Resurrection and Ascension into heaven, and as we look forward to his second coming, we offer you in thanksgiving this holy and living sacrifice. Look, we pray, upon the oblation of your Church and, recognizing the sacrificial victim by whose death you willed to reconcile us to yourself, grant that we, who are nourished by the Body and Blood of you Son and filled with his Holy Spirit, may become one body, one spirit in Christ. May he make of us an eternal offering to you, so that we may obtain an inheritance with you elect, especially with the most blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with blessed Joseph, her Spouse, with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs, and with all the Saints, on whose constant intercession in your presence, we rely for unfailing help. May this Sacrifice of our reconciliation, we pray, O Lord, advance the peace and salvation of all the world. Be pleased to confirm in faith and charity your pilgrim Church on earth, with your Servant Francis our Pope and John our Bishop, the Order of Bishops, all the clergy, and the entire people you have gained for your own. Listen graciously to the prayers of this family, whom you have summoned before you: in your compassion, O merciful Father, gather to yourself all your children scattered throughout the world. To our departed brothers and sisters and to all who were pleasing to you at their passing form this life, give kind admittance to your kingdom. There we hope to enjoy for ever the fullness of your glory through Christ our Lord, through whom you bestow on the world all that is good.

The people acclaim: Amen.

on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.

The Priest continues alone:
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 forever.

The peace of the Lord be with you always.
And with your spirit.
The Deacon, or the Priest adds:

Or
Go in peace

THE INTRODUCTORY RITES

Entrance Hymn:

Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom;
Lead thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead thou me on!
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene—one step enough for me.

I was not ever thus, nor pray’d that thou
Shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path; but now,
Lead thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years.

So long thy pow’r hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone.
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!

All make the Sign of the Cross as the Priest says:
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.        Amen.
The Priest greets everyone present.

in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
And, striking their breast, they say:
through my fault, through my fault,
though 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.
The Priest says the absolution. All reply: Amen.

Amen   

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading
A reading from the prophet Jeremiah 20:10-13

Jeremiah said:
I hear so many disparaging me,
“Terror from every side!”
Denounce him! Let us denounce him!’
All those who used to be my friends
watched for my downfall,
‘Perhaps he will be seduced into error.
Then we will master him
and take our revenge!’
But the Lord is at my side, a mighty hero;
my opponents will stumble, mastered,
confounded by their failure;
everlasting, unforgettable disgrace will be theirs.
But you, O Lord of Hosts, you who probe with
Justice, who scrutinises the loins of heart,
let me see the vengeance you will take on them,
for I have committed my cause to you.
Sing to the Lord, praise the Lord,
for he has delivered the soul of the needy
from the hands of evil men.

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God..

Psalm                                                68:8-10. 14. 17.33-35 R v14

R)In your great love, answer me, O God.

It is for you that I suffer taunts,
that shame covers my face,
that I have become a stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my own mother’s sons.
I burn with zeal for your house
and taunts against you fall on me. (R)

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)

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.
Let the heavens and the earth give him praise,
The sea and all its living creatures. (R)      

Second Reading
A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Romans  5:12-15

Sin entered the world through one man, and through sin death, and thus death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned. Sin existed in the world before the law was given. There was no law and so no one could be accused of the sin of ‘law-breaking’, yet death reigned over all from Adam to Moses, even through their sin, unlike that of Adam, was not a matter of breaking a law.

Adam prefigured the One to come, but the gift itself considerably outweighed the fall. If it is certain that through one man’s fault so many died, it is even more certain that divine grace, coming through the one man, Jesus Christ, came to so many as an abundant free gift.

The word of the lord.
Thanks be to God

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 10:26-33

Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus instructed the Twelve as follows:
‘Do not be afraid. For everything that is now covered will be uncovered, and everything now hidden will be made clear. What I say to you in the dark, tell in the daylight; what you hear in whispers, proclaim from the housetops.
‘Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; fear him rather who can destroy both body and soul in hell. Can you not buy two sparrows for a penny? And yet not one falls to the ground without the Father knowing. Why, every hair on your head has been counted. So, there is no need to be afraid; you are worth more than hundreds of sparrows.
‘So, if anyone declares himself for me in the presence of men, I will declare myself for him in the presence of my Father in heaven. But the one who disowns me in the presence of men, I will disown in the presence of my Father in heaven.’

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER III
(The Priest may use a different Eucharistic Prayer.)
You are indeed Holy, O Lord, and all you have created rightly gives you praise, for through your on our Lord Jesus Christ, by the power and working of the Holy Spirit, you give life to all things and make them holy, and you never cease to gather a people to yourself, so that from the rising of the sun to its setting, a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name. Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you: by the same Spirit graciously make holy these gifts we have bought to you for consecration, that they may become the Body and  Blood of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, at whose command we celebrate these mysteries. For on the night he was betrayed he himself took bread, and giving you hanks, he said the blessing, broke the bread and gave it to his disciples saying:
TAKE THIS ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT,
FOR THIS IS MY BODY,

DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.

We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.
Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the memorial of the saving Passion of your Son, his wondrous Resurrection and Ascension into heaven, and as we look forward to his second coming, we offer you in thanksgiving this holy and living sacrifice.

May this Sacrifice of our reconciliation, we pray, O Lord, advance the peace and salvation of all the world. Be pleased to confirm in faith and charity your pilgrim Church on earth, with your Servant Francis our Pope and John our Bishop, the Order of Bishops, all the clergy, and the entire people you have gained for your own. Listen graciously to the prayers of this family, whom you have summoned before you: in your compassion, O merciful Father, gather to yourself all your children scattered throughout the world. To our departed brothers and sisters and to all who were pleasing to you at their passing form this life, give kind admittance to your kingdom. There we hope to enjoy for ever the fullness of your glory through Christ our Lord, through whom you bestow on the world all that is good.

Recessional Hymn:
I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me;
How He left the realms of glory
For the cross of Calvary.
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me,
Sing it with the saints in glory,
Gathered by the crystal sea.

I was lost, but Jesus found me,
Found the sheep that went astray,
Raised me up and gently led me,
Back into the narrow way.
Days of darkness still may meet me
Sorrow’s path, I oft may tread; but his presence still is with me
By his guiding hand I’m led.

He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He'll bear me safely over,
made by grace for glory meet.
Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me
Sing it with the saints in glory

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading
A reading from the book of Deuteronomy 8:2-3.14-16

Moses said to the people: ‘Remember how the Lord your God led you for forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, to test you and know your inmost heart – whether you would keep his commandments or not. He humbled you, he made you fell hunger, he fed you with manna which neither you nor your fathers have known, to make you understand that man does not live on bread alone but that man lives on everything that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God..

Psalm                                                Os 147:12-15.19-20.R.v12

R)O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!

O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
Zion, praise to God!
He has strengthened the bars of your gates,
he has blessed the children within you. (R)

He established peace on your borders,
he feeds you with finest wheat.
He sends out his word to the earth
and swiftly runs his command. (R)

He makes his word known to Jacob,
to Israel his laws and decrees.
He has not dealt thus with other nations;
he has not taught them his decrees. (R)

Second Reading
A reading from the first letter of St Pail to the Corinthians                           10:16-17

The blessing-cup that we bless is a communion with the blood of Christ, and the bread that we bread is a communion with the body of Christ. The fact that there is only one loaf means that, though there are many of us, we form a single body because we all have a share in this one loaf.

The word of the lord.
Thanks be to God

Sequence (Shorter form)
Behold the bread of angels, sent
For pilgrims in their banishment,
The bread of God’s true children meant,
That may not unto dogs be given;
Off in the olden types of foreshowed;
In Isaac on the altar bowed,
And in the ancient paschal food,
And in the manna sent from heaven.

Come then, good shepherd, bread divine,
Still show to us thy mercy sign;
Oh, feed us still, still keep us thine;
So may we see the glories shine
In fields of immortality;

O thou, the wisest, mightiest, best,
Our present food, our future rest,
Come, make us each thy chosen guest,
Co-heirs of thine, and comrades blest
With saints whose dwelling is with thee.

Gospel Acclamation
Hanapin Mo ang kaharian ng Diyos
At ang Kanyang kabanalan
At ang lahat ay mapapasa-iyo
Alelu, Aleluya  …..repeat

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Glory to you, O Lord.

Gospel: John 6:51-58

Jesus said to the Jews:
‘I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread, will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh for the life of the world.’
Then the Jews started arguing with one another: ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ they said. Jesus replied:
‘I tell you solemnly, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you. Anyone who does eat my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in him.
As I, who am sent by the living Father, myself draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me will draw life from me. This is the bread come down from heaven; not like the bread our ancestors ate: they are dead, but anyone who eats this bread will live for ever.’

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

The Prayer of the Faithful
Response example: Lord, in your mercy. Hear our prayer.

After the concluding prayer all say: Amen.  

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST           
The offerings are brought to the altar. A hymn may be sung. If the Priest says the two prayers of offering aloud the response both times is:
Blessed be God for ever.

Offertory:
Bread of life, Truth eternal,
Broken now to set us free,
The risen Christ, his saving power,
Is here in bread and wine for me.

Lord, I know I am not worthy to receive you.
You speak the words and I am healed,
Here at your table, loves mystery,
One bread, one cup, one family.

Bread of life, Truth eternal,
Broken now to set us free,
The risen Christ, his saving power,
Is here in bread and wine for me.

Lord, by your cross you reconciled us to the Father,
We have only to believe.
Your sacrifice, our victory
Now by your blood we are redeemed.

Bread of life, Truth eternal,
Broken now to set us free,
The risen Christ, his saving power,
Is here in bread and wine for me.

Lord, you gave your people manna in the desert.
Still you fulfil our every need.
Lord when we hunger, Lord, when we thirst,
We come to you and we receive.

Bread of life, Truth eternal,
Broken now to set us free,
The risen Christ, his saving power,
Is here in bread and wine for me.

The people rise as the Priest says:
Pray, brethren (brother and sisters), that my sacrifice and your may be acceptable to almighty Father.

The people reply:
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.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Grant, we pray, O Lord, that, as promised by your Son, the Holy Spirit may reveal to us more abundantly the hidden mystery of this sacrifice and graciously lead us into all truth. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

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

Preface: Mystery of Pentecost
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. For he is the true and eternal Priest, who instituted the pattern of an everlasting sacrifice and was the first to offer himself as the saving Victim, commanding us to make this offering as his memorial. As we eat his flesh that was sacrificed for us, we are made strong, and as we drink his Blood that was poured our for us, we are washed clean.

Sanctus: Santo

Santo, Santo, Santo
Panginoong Diyos na makapangyarihan
Napupuno ang langit at lupa ng kal’walhatian Mo
Osana, Osana sa kaitaasan!
Osana, Osana sa kaitaasan!

Pinagpala ang naparirito sa ngalan ng Panginoon
Osana, Osana sa kaitaasan!
Osana, Osana sa kaitaasan!

Kneel

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II
(The Priest may use a different Eucharistic Prayer.)
You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness
Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your spirits upon them like the dewfall, so that they may become for us the Body 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 have 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,
The people continue, acclaiming:
When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
Until you come again.

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 the 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 N. our Pope and N. our Bishop 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.

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.
The people acclaim: Amen.

Recessional Hymn:
Guide me, O thou great redeemer,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty,
Hold me with thy powerful hand;
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven
Feed me till I want no more;
Feed me till I want no more. 

Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong deliverer, strong deliverer;
Be thou still my strength and shield;
Be thou still my strength and shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death, and hell's destruction
Land me safe on Canaan's side:
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to thee;
I will ever give to thee.

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading
A reading from the book of Exodus          34:4-6.8-9
With two tablets of stone in his hands, Moses went up the mountain of Sinai in the early morning as the Lord had commanded him. And the Lord descended in the form of a cloud, and Moses stood with him there.
He called on the name of the Lord. The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, ‘Lord, Lord, a God of tenderness and compassion, slow to anger, rich in kindness and faithfulness.’ And Moses bowed down to the ground at once and worshipped. ‘If I have indeed won your favour, Lord,’ he said ‘let my Lord come with us, I beg. True, they are a headstrong people, but forgive us our faults and our sins, and adopt us as your heritage.’
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God..

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus said to Nicodemus,
‘God loved the world so much
that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost
but may have eternal life.
for God sent his Son into the world
not to condemn the world,
but so that through him the world might be saved.
No one who believes in him will be condemned;
But whoever refuses to believe is condemned already,
Because he has refused to believe
In the name of God’s only Son.’
The Gospel of the Lord,
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

I believe in one holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins,
and I look for the resurrection of the dead
and life of the world to come. Amen

The Prayer of the Faithful
Response example: Lord, in your mercy. Hear our prayer.

After the concluding prayer all say: Amen.  

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST           
The offerings are brought to the altar. A hymn may be sung. If the Priest says the two prayers of offering aloud the response both times is:
Blessed be God for ever.

Offertory:
Father I know that your love for me knows no bounds.
When darkness has fallen your voice from the heavens resounds;
Saying, “trust and believe, come an walk on my road to its end.”
Take me home, Father, Spirit and Son, my master and friend.

Spirit I know that your truth is spoken each day.
But power and greed change the creed leaving truth to decay.
So let the heavens resound with “Hosannas” to you Holy One.
For in you, Father, Spirit and Son the battle is won.

Jesus, I know that your love for me has no end,
My faith growing stronger each day that on you I depend.
When my doubting subsides, when I’m finally brought to my knees:
Through my prayers, Father Spirit and Son your grace is revealed.

The people rise as the Priest says:
Pray, brethren (brother and sisters), that my sacrifice and your may be acceptable to almighty Father.

The people reply:
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.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Sanctify by the invocation of your name, we pray, O Lord our God, this oblation of our service, and by it make of us an eternal offering to you. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit. 
Lift up your hearts.
We left them up the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right and just.

Preface: Mystery of Pentecost
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. For with your Only Begotten Son and the Holy Spirit you are one God, One Lord; not in the unity of a single person, but in a Trinity of one substance. For what you have revealed to us of your glory. We believe equally of your Son and of the Holy Spirit, so that, in confessing of the true and eternal Godhead, you might be adored in what is proper to each Person, this unity in substance, and their equality in majesty. For this is praised by Angels and Archangels, Cherubim, too, and Seraphim, who never cease to cry out each day, as with one voice they acclaim:

Sanctus

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER III
(The Priest may use a different Eucharistic Prayer.)
You are indeed Holy, O Lord, and all you have created rightly gives you praise, for through your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, by the power and working of the Holy Spirit, you give life to all things and make them holy, and you never cease to gather a people to yourself, so that from the rising of the sun to its setting, a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name. Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you: by the same Spirit graciously make holy these gifts we have bought to you for consecration, that they may become the Body and Blood of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, at whose command we celebrate these mysteries. For on the night he was betrayed he himself took bread, and giving you hanks, he said the blessing, broke the bread 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 giving you thanks, he said the blessing, and gave the chalice to his disciples saying:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF OYU, AND DRINK FORM 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 FORGIVNESS OF SINS.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.
The mystery of faith,
The people continue, acclaiming:
We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.
Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the memorial of the saving Passion of your Son, his wondrous Resurrection and Ascension into heaven, and as we look forward to his second coming, we offer you in thanksgiving this holy and living sacrifice. Look, we pray, upon the oblation of your Church and, recognizing the sacrificial victim by whose death you willed to reconcile us to yourself, grant that we, who are nourished by the Body and Blood of you Son and filled with his Holy Spirit, may become one body, one spirit in Christ. May he make of us an eternal offering to you, so that we may obtain an inheritance with you elect, especially with the most blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with blessed Joseph, her Spouse, with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs, and with all the Saints, on whose constant intercession in your presence, we rely for unfailing help. May this Sacrifice of our reconciliation, we pray, O Lord, advance the peace and salvation of all the world. Be pleased to confirm in faith and charity your pilgrim Church on earth, with your Servant Francis our Pope and John our Bishop, the Order of Bishops, all the clergy, and the entire people you have gained for your own. Listen graciously to the prayers of this family, whom you have summoned before you: in your compassion, O merciful Father, gather to yourself all your children scattered throughout the world. To our departed brothers and sisters and to all who were pleasing to you at their passing form this life, give kind admittance to your kingdom. There we hope to enjoy for ever the fullness of your glory through Christ our Lord, through whom you bestow on the world all that is good.
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.
The people acclaim: Amen.

THE COMMUNION RITE                                            
The Priest invites all to join in the Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.

The Priest continues alone:
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 forever.
The Priest
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 Deacon, or the Priest adds:
Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
The Priest takes the host and breaks it.

Meanwhile the people say or sing:
Lamb of God
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.                                                   Kneel

The Priest shows the host to the people and says:
Behold the Lamb of God,
Behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the support of the Lamb.
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 or other minister says to each communicant:
The Body [Blood] of Christ.
Each communicant answers: Amen

COMMUNION HYMN:
Bread of life, Truth eternal,
Broken now to set us free,
The risen Christ, his saving power,
Is here in bread and wine for me.

Lord, I know I am not worthy to receive you.
You speak the words and I am healed,
Here at your table, loves mystery,
One bread, one cup, one family.

Lord, by your cross you reconciled us to the Father,
We have only to believe.
Your sacrifice, our victory
Now by your blood we are redeemed.

Lord, you gave your people manna in the desert.
Still you fulfil our every need.
Lord when we hunger, Lord, when we thirst,
We come to you and we receive the

Bread of life, Truth eternal,
Broken now to set us free,
The risen Christ, his saving power,
Is here in bread and wine for me

Through Christ our Lord.
Amen

Then:

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles
2:1-11
When Pentecost day came round, the apostles had all met in one room, when suddenly they heard what sounded like a powerful wind from heaven, the noise of which filled the entire house in which they were sitting and something appeared to them that seemed like tongues of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, an began to speak foreign languages as the Spirit gave them gift of speech.
Now there were devout men living in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven, and at this sound they all assembled, each one bewildered to hear these men speaking his own language. They were amazed and astonished. ‘Surely’ they said ‘all these men speaking are Galileans? How does it happen that each of us hears them in his own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phyrgia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Lybia round Cyrene; as well as visitors from Rome – Jews and proselytes alike – Cretans and Arabs; we hear them preaching in our own language about the marvels of God.’

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Psalm                                                                                                  Ps 103:1.24 29-31. 34. R.cf v30
Send forth your Spirit, O Lord
And renew the face of the earth.

Bless the Lord, my soul!
Lord God, how great you are.
How many are your works, O Lord!
The earth is full of your riches. (R)

You take back your spirit, they die,
Returning to the dust from which they came.
You send forth your spirit, they are created;
And you renew the face of the earth. (R)

May the glory of the Lord last for ever!
May the Lord rejoice in his works!
May the thoughts be pleasing to him.
I find my joy in the Lord. (R)

Second Reading
A reading from the first letter of St Paul to the Corinthians
12:3-7. 12-13
No one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord’ unless he is under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
There is a variety of gifts but always the same Spirit; there are all sorts of service to be done but always to the same Lord; working in all sorts of different ways in different people, it is the same God who is working in all of them. The particular way in which the Spirit is given to each person is for a good purpose.
Just as a human body, though it is made up of many parts, is a single unit because all these parts, though many, make one body, so it is with Christ. In the one Spirit we were all baptised, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as citizens, and one Spirit was given to us all to drink.

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Sequence
Holy Spirit, Lord of llight,
From the clear celestial height
Thy pure beaming radiance give.

Come, thou Father of the poor,
Come with treasures which endure;
Coe, thou light of all that live!

Thou, of all consolers best,
Thou, the soul’s delighful guest,
Dost refreshing peace bestow;

Though in toil art comfort sweet;
Pleasant coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.

Light immortal, light divine,
Visit thoug these hearts of thine,
And our inmost being fill:

If thou take thy grace away,
Nothing pure in man will stay;
All his good is turned to ill.

Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour thy dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away:

Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guides the steps that go astray.

Thou, on us who evermore
Thee confess and thee adore,
With thy sevenfold gifts descend:

Give us comfort when we die;
Give us life with thee on high;

Gospel Acclamation

Gospel
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Glory to you, O Lord.

‘In the evening of the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, ‘Peace be with you,’ and showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Lord, and he said to them again, ‘Peace be with you.
‘As the Father sent me,
so am I sending you.’
After saying this he breathed on them and said:
‘Receive the Holy Spirit.
For those whose sins you forgive,
they are forgiven;
for those whose sin you retain,
they are retained.’

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

The Homily                         

The Nicene Creed                                                                                                       Stand
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 of 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) 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 on the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom shall have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, 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 for the resurrection of the dead and life of the world to come. Amen

The Prayer of the Faithful
Response example: Lord, in your mercy. Hear our prayer.

After the concluding prayer all say: Amen.  

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST           
The offerings are brought to the altar. A hymn may be sung. If the Priest says the two prayers of offering aloud the response both times is:
Blessed be God for ever.

The people rise as the Priest says:
Pray, brethren (brother and sisters), that my sacrifice and your may be acceptable to almighty Father.

The people reply:
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.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Grant, we pray, O Lord, that, as promised by your Son, the Holy Spirit may reveal to us more abundantly the hidden mystery of this sacrifice and graciously lead us into all truth.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit. 
Lift up your hearts.
We left them up the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right and just.

Preface: Mystery of Pentecost
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.
For, bringing your Paschal Mystery to completion, you bestowed the Holy Spirit today on those you made your adopted children by uniting them to your Only Begotten Son. This same Spirit, as the Church came to birth, opened to all peoples the knowledge of God and brought together the many languages of the earth in profession of the one faith.
Therefore, overcome with paschal joy, every land, every people exults in your praise and even the heavenly Powers, with the angelic hosts, sing together the unending hymn of your glory, as they acclaim:

Sanctus

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II
(The Priest may use a different Eucharistic Prayer.)
You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness
Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your spirits upon them like the dewfall, so that they may become for us the Body 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 have 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.
The people continue, acclaiming:

When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
Until you come again.

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 the 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 N. our Pope and N. our Bishop 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.

Through him, and with and in him,
O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honour is yours,
for ever and ever.
The people acclaim: Amen.

After Jesus was taken up into heaven, the apostles went back from the Mount of Olives, as it is called, to Jerusalem, a short distance away, no more than a sabbath walk; and then they reached the city they went in to the upper room where they were staying; there were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James and Alpaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Jude son of James. All these joined in continuous prayer, together with several women, including Mary, the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Psalm                                                                                                  Ps 26:1.4.7-8. R.v13
The Lord is my redeemer,
He is my light and salvation.

The Lord is my light and my help;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
before whom shall I shrink? (R)

There is one thing I ask of the Lord,
for this I long,
to live in the house of the Lord,
all the days of my life. (R)

O Lord, hear my voice when I call;
have mercy and answer.
Of you my heart has spoken;
‘Seek his face.’ (R)

Second Reading
A reading from the first letter of St Peter.
4:13-16
If you can have some share in the sufferings of Christ, be glad, because you will enjoy a much greater gladness when his glory is revealed. It is a blessing for you when they insult you for bearing the name of Christ, because it means that you have the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God resting on you. None of you should ever deserve to suffer for being a murderer, a thief, a criminal or an informer; but if anyone of you should suffer for being a Christian, then he is not to be ashamed of it; he should thank God that he has been called one.

The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia, alleluia!
I will not leave you orphans, says the Lord; I will come back to you and your hearts will be full of joy.
Alleluia!

Gospel
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said:
‘Father, the hour has come: glorify your Son so that your Son may glorify you; and, through the power over all mankind that you have given him, let him give eternal life to all those you have entrusted to him. And eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I have glorified you on earth and finished the work that you gave me to do. Now, Father, it is time for you to glorify me with that glory I had with you before ever the world was. I have made your name known to the men you took from the world to give me, and they have kept your word. Now at least they know that all you have given me comes indeed from you; for I have given them the teaching you gave to me, and they have truly accepted this, that I came from you, and have believed that it was you who sent me. I pray for them: I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me, because they belong to you: all I have is yours and you have is mine, and in them I am glorified. I am not in the world any longer, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you.

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

The Homily                         

The Nicene Creed                                                                                                       Stand
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 of 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) 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 on the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom shall have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, 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 for the resurrection of the dead and life of the world to come. Amen

The Prayer of the Faithful
Response example: Lord, in your mercy. Hear our prayer.

After the concluding prayer all say: Amen.  

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST           
The offerings are brought to the altar. A hymn may be sung. If the Priest says the two prayers of offering aloud the response both times is:
Blessed be God for ever.

The people rise as the Priest says:
Pray, brethren (brother and sisters), that my sacrifice and your may be acceptable to almighty Father.

The people reply:
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.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Accept, O Lord, the prayers of your faithful with the sacrificial offerings, that through these acts of devotedness we may pass over to the glory of heaven. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit. 
Lift up your hearts.
We left them up the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right and just.

PREFACE II of Easter
New life in Christ
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, at all times to acclaim you, o Lord but in this time above all to laud you yet more gloriously, when Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.
Through him the children of light rise to eternal life and the halls of the heavenly Kingdom are thrown open to the faithful; for his Death is our ransom from death, and in his rising the life of all has risen.
Therefore, overcome with paschal joy, every land, every people exults in your praise and even the heavenly Powers, with the angelic hosts, sing together the unending hymn of your glory, as they acclaim:

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord God almighty!
Who was and is and is to come; Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord.
Blessed, blessed, blest is he who comes,
blest is he who comes in the Lord’s name.
Hosanna in the heights of heaven. Blessed, blessed, blessed is the Lord

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II
(The Priest may use a different Eucharistic Prayer.)
You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness
Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your spirits upon them like the dewfall, so that they may become for us the Body 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 have 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.
The people continue, acclaiming:

When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
Until you come again.

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 the 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 N. our Pope and N. our Bishop 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.

Through him, and with and in him,
O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honour is yours,
for ever and ever.
The people acclaim: Amen.

THE COMMUNION RITE                                            
The Priest invites all to join in the Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.

The Priest continues alone:
Deliver us, Lord, we pray …
For the kingdom,
the power and the glory are yours
now and forever.
Amen.
The Priest
Lord Jesus Christ, …Amen.
The peace of the Lord be with you always.
And with your spirit.
The Deacon, or the Priest adds:
Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
The Priest takes the host and breaks it.

Meanwhile the people say or sing:
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 shows the host to the people and says:
Behold the Lamb of God,
Behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the support of the Lamb.
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 or other minister says to each communicant:
The Body [Blood] of Christ.
Each communicant answers: Amen

Recessional Hymn:

I the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry,
All who dwell in dark and sin my hand will save.
I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them. They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone, give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my words to them. Whom shall I send?

I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them. My hand will save.
Finest bread, I will provide till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them. Whom shall I send?
