00:00In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Lord may be with you.
00:20Today we celebrate the feast of Sanctuary of Child Jesus.
00:26So dear friends, let us come before God as we are.
00:32Let us acknowledge our human frailties, human weaknesses, the moments, the encounters that we fail to love in love.
00:41But most importantly, let us acknowledge the merciful heart of God for us.
00:48You were sent to heal the contrite of heart. Lord, have mercy.
00:52You came to call sinners. Christ, have mercy.
00:59You are seated at the right hand of the Father to intercede for us. Lord, have mercy.
01:07May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and lead us into life everlasting.
01:15Let us pray.
01:17O God, who opened your kingdom to those who are humble and to little ones, lead us to follow trustingly in the little way of St. Therese.
01:33So that through her intercession, we may see your eternal glory revealed, through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
01:49A reading from the prophet Isaiah.
01:58Rejoice, Jerusalem. Be glad for her, all you who love her.
02:03Rejoice, rejoice for her, all you who mourn her.
02:07Rejoice, Lord, that you may be suckled, filled, from her consoling breast, and you may savour with delight her glorious breast.
02:19For thus says the Lord,
02:21Now towards her are sent flowing, peace like a river, and like a steam in the spate, the glory of the nations.
02:30At the breast, will your nursling be carried, and fondled in her lap, like a son comforted by his mother, will I comfort you, and by Jerusalem, you will be comforted.
02:48At the sight of your heart will rejoice, and your bones flourish like the grass.
02:54To his servants, the Lord will reveal his hand.
02:59The word of the Lord.
03:02Your response.
03:04In you, Lord, I have found my peace.
03:08In you, Lord, I have found my peace.
03:12O Lord, my heart is not proud, no heart in my eyes.
03:17I have not gone after things too great, no marvels beyond me.
03:22Your response.
03:23In you, Lord, I have found my peace.
03:27Truly I have set my soul in silence and peace.
03:32O being child on his mother's breast, even so is my soul.
03:37Your response.
03:39In you, Lord, I have found peace.
03:43O Israel, hope in the Lord, both now and forever.
03:47Your response.
03:48In you, Lord, I have found peace.
03:50Alleluia, alleluia.
03:54Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heavens and earth.
03:58You have revealed to little ones the mystery of the kingdom.
04:03Alleluia.
04:05The Lord be with you.
04:06A reading from the Holy Gospel, according to Matthew.
04:10The disciples came to Jesus and said,
04:21Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
04:23And so called little child to him and said child in front of them.
04:30Then he said,
04:32I tell you solemnly,
04:34Unless you change and become like little children,
04:39You will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
04:42And so the one who makes himself little as a little child
04:47Is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
04:50Anyone who welcomes little child like this in my name
04:55Is welcome me.
04:57The Gospel of the Lord
04:59Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.
05:14For through your goodness we have received this bread we offer you.
05:17Fruit of the earth and work of human hands.
05:20It will become for us a bread of life.
05:22It will become for us a bread of life.
05:52God of all creation.
05:53For through your goodness we have received this bread we offer you.
05:56Fruit of the vine and work of human hands.
05:59It will become for us a spiritual drink.
06:02God for my life.
06:16Pray my friends that my sacrifice and yours
06:19May be acceptable to God the Almighty Father.
06:27As we proclaim your wonders in St. Therese, O Lord
06:31We humbly implore your majesty
06:33That as our merits are pleasing to you
06:38So do our dutiful service
06:41May find favor in your sight
06:43Through Christ our Lord
06:46The Lord be with you
06:50Lift up your hearts
06:52Let us give thanks to the Lord our God
06:55It is truly right and just
06:57Our duty and our salvation
06:59Always and everywhere to give you thanks
07:02Lord, Holy Father
07:04Almighty and eternal God
07:06For in the saints
07:08Who consecrated themselves to Christ
07:10For the sake of the kingdom of heaven
07:13It is right to celebrate
07:16The wonders of your providence
07:18By which you call human nature
07:21Back to his original holiness
07:23And bring to his experience on this earth
07:27The gift you promise
07:29In the new world to come
07:30And so
07:32With all the angels and saints
07:34We praise you
07:35As without end
07:37We acclaim
07:38Holy, Holy, Holy
07:41Lord God of hosts
07:43Heaven and earth are full of your glory
07:45Hosanna in the highest
07:47Blessed is the he who comes in the name of the Lord
