06:10Glory to you, O Lord.
06:12The mother and brothers of Jesus came looking for him.
06:16But they could not get to him because of the crowd.
06:20He was told,
06:21Your mother and brothers are standing outside and want to see you.

06:53St. Pius had the stigmata, the wounds of Jesus.
06:59And he was a man who called many to conversion.
07:01He was noted for hearing lots and lots of confessions and turning people back to God.
07:09We are all called in our own life to holiness, in our own realities,
07:13like the saints before us.
07:15And to ponder God's word in our own hearts.
07:24Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation.

08:25May the Lord accept this sacrifice at your hands
08:28for the praise and glory of his name,
08:30for our good and the good of all his holy church.
08:33Receive, O Lord, we pray, the offerings placed on your altar
08:37in commemoration of St. Pius,
08:39so that as you brought him glory,
08:42you may, through these sacred mysteries,

09:20And that your saving mysteries may be fulfilled,
09:24their great example lends us courage.
09:27Their fervent prayers sustains us in all we do.
09:32And so, Lord, with all the angels and saints,
09:35we too give you thanks,
09:36as in exaltation we acclaim.

09:48Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
09:51Hosanna in the highest.
09:54You are indeed holy, O Lord,
09:55the fount of all holiness.
09:57Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray,
10:00by sending down your spirit upon them like the dewfall,
10:03so that they may become for us
10:04the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
10:07At the time he was betrayed
10:09and entered willingly into his passion,
10:13he took bread,
10:14and giving thanks, broke it,
10:16and gave it to his disciples,
10:18saying,
10:18Take this, all of you, and eat of it,
10:21for this is my body,
10:22which will be given up for you.
10:30In a similar way,
10:32when supper was ended,
10:33he took the chalice,
10:34and once more giving thanks,
10:36he gave it to his disciples,
10:38saying,
10:39Take this, all of you,
10:40and drink from it,
10:41for this is the chalice of my blood,
10:44the blood of the new and eternal covenant,
10:47which will be pulled out for you
10:49and for many,
10:50for the forgiveness of sins.
10:51Do this in memory of me.
11:00The mystery of faith.
11:02When we eat this bread and drink this cup,
11:05we proclaim your death, O Lord,
11:07until you come again.
11:10Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection,
11:13we offer you, Lord,
11:15the bread of life
11:16and the chalice of salvation,
11:18giving thanks that you've held us worthy
