00:00The name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. The Lord be with you.
00:19So dear friends, today as Universal Church, we are celebrating the memoria of Saint Leo the Great,
00:28Pope and Doctor of the Church. As we are celebrating the feast day of Saint Leo, let us pray for our
00:36own Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV. So dear friends, let us come before God as we are. Let us acknowledge
00:45our human frailties, human weaknesses, the situations, the moments that we fail to love in love.
00:53But most importantly, let us acknowledge the merciful heart of God for us, as we prepare
00:59ourselves to celebrate these sacred mysteries. You are sent to heal the contrite of heart.
01:07Lord, have mercy. You came to call sinners. Christ, have mercy. You are seated at the right
01:16hand of the Father who intercede for us. Lord, have mercy. May Almighty God have mercy on us,
01:25forgive us our sins, and lead us into life everlasting. Let us pray.
01:31O God, who never allow the gates of hell to prevail against your Church, firmly founded on the Apostolic
01:46Rock, grant her, we pray, that through the intercession of Pope Saint Leo, she may stand firm in your
01:55water, and know the protection of lasting peace. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and
02:02reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.
02:13Reading from the Book of Ecclesiasticus
02:15If it is the Will of the Great Lord, he will be filled with the Spirit of Understanding. He will shower
02:25forth the words of wisdom and in prayer give thanks to the Lord. He will grow upright in purpose and
02:34learning. He will ponder the Lord's hidden mysteries. He will display the instructions he has received.
02:43Taking his pride in the law of the Lord's covenant. Many will praise his understanding,
02:53and it will never be forgotten. His memory will not disappear. Generation after generation,
03:01his name will live. Nations will proclaim his wisdom. The Assembly will celebrate his praise.
03:09The word of the Lord. Your response
03:15The mouths of the just murmur wisdom. The mouths of the just murmur wisdom.
03:24If you trust in the Lord and do good, then you will live in the land and be secure.
03:31If you find your delight in the Lord, he will grant your heart's desire. Your response
03:37The mouths of the just murmur wisdom. Commit your life to the Lord, trust in him, and he will act,
03:46so that your justice breaks forth like the light, your cause like the noonday sun. Your response
03:53The mouths of the just murmur wisdom. The just man mouth utters wisdom, and his lips speak what is right.
04:04The law of his God in his heart. His steps shall be saved from stumble. The mouths of the just murmur wisdom.
04:14Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. Come follow me, says the Lord. And I will make you fishers of my people. Alleluia.
04:26The Lord be with you. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
04:31Alleluia. Glory to you, my Lord.
04:38When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he put this question to his disciples.
04:46Who do people say the son of man is? And they say, some say he is John the Baptist, some Elijah,
04:56others Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. But you, he said. Who do you say I am?
05:06Then Simon Peter spoke. You are the Christ, he said, the son of the living God.
05:16Jesus said, Simon, son of Jonah, you are a happy man, because it was not the flesh and the blood
05:25that revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. Now I know, so I now say to you,
05:34you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church. And the gates of underworld can never hold
05:43out against it. I will give you the keys of kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be considered
05:52bound in heaven. Whatever you lose on earth shall be considered loosed in heaven.
05:59The Gospel of the Lord.
06:01Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received this bread
06:18we offer you, fruit of the earth and work of human hands. It will become for us our bread of life.
06:23For through your goodness we have received this bread we offer you, fruit of the vine and work of human hands.
06:30For through your goodness we have received this bread we offer you,
06:32the fruit of the vine and work of human hands.
06:34blessed are you, Lord God of all creation.
06:43Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received this bread we offer you,
06:47for through your goodness we have received this bread we offer you,
06:49the fruit of the vine and work of human hands. It will become for us our spiritual tree.
06:53Blessed be God of all creation.
07:11Pray my brothers and sisters that my sacrifice and years may be acceptable to God the almighty father.
07:23To the offerings made here, we pray, O Lord, graciously shed light on your church so that your flock may everywhere prosper and that under your governance, the shepherds may become pleasing to your name to Christ, our Lord.
07:45The Lord be with you.
07:48Lift up your hearts.
07:50Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God.
07:53It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, Holy Father, almighty and eternal God, through Christ our Lord.
08:06For as the festive of St. Leo the Great, you bid your church rejoice, so too you strengthen her by the example of his holy life, teach her by his words of preaching,
08:20and keep her safe in answer to his prayers.
08:24And so, with the company of angels and saints, we sing the hymn of your praise, as without end, we acclaim.
08:33Holy, holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, heaven and earth are full of your glory, Hosanna in the highest.
08:43Blessed he who comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.
08:48You are indeed holy, O Lord, and fount of all holiness.
08:55Make holy, therefore, these give you, pray, by sending down your spirit upon them like a dewfall,
09:01so that they may become for us the body and the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
09:06At the time he was with bread, he entered willingly into his passion.
09:12He took bread, giving thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying,
09:19Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my body, which will be given up for you.
09:36In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice, and once more giving thanks,
09:49he gave it to his disciples, saying,
09:52Take this, all of you, and drink from it.
09:56For this is the chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and eternal covenant,
10:02which will be poured out for you and for many, for the forgiveness of sins.
10:09Do this in memory of me.
10:26The mystery of faith, we proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your resurrection.
10:32Until you come again.
10:35Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection,
10:41We offer you, Lord, the bread of life and the chalice of salvation,
10:46giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you.
10:53Humbly, we pray, the partaking of the body and blood of Christ.
10:58We may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
11:03Remember, Lord, your church spread throughout the world,
11:06and bring her to the fullness of charity,
11:09together with Leo, our Pope, and Charles, our Bishop, and all the clergy.
11:15Remember also, our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection,
11:20and all who have died in your mercy.
11:25Welcome them into the light of your face.
11:29Have mercy on us all, we pray,
11:31that with the blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
11:35St. Joseph, her spouse,
11:37with the blessed Apostles,
11:38St. Leo the Great,
11:39and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages.
11:44We may merit to be coerous to eternal life,
11:48and may praise and glorify you
11:50to your Son, Jesus Christ.
11:53Through Him, and with Him, and in Him,
12:01O God, Almighty Father,
12:03in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
12:05all glory and honor is yours,
12:09forever and ever.
12:13At the Savior's command,
12:15and formed by divine teaching,
12:17we dare to pray,
12:18Our Father,
12:20who art in heaven,
12:22hallowed be thy name.
12:23Thy kingdom come,
12:24thy will be done,
12:26on earth as it is in heaven.

12:30and forgive us our trespasses,
12:33as we forgive those who trespass against us,
12:36and lead us not into temptation,
12:39but deliver us from evil.
12:41Deliver us, Lord, we pray,
12:43from every evil.
12:44Graciously grant peace in our days,
12:47that by the help of your mercy,
12:50we may be always free from sin,
12:53and safe from all distress,
12:55as we await the blessed Lord,
12:57and the coming of our Savior,
12:59Jesus Christ.
13:01For the kingdom, the power,
13:02and the glory are yours,
13:03now and forever.
13:06Lord Jesus Christ,
13:07who said to apostles,
13:09Peace I leave you,
13:10my peace I give you,
13:12look not on our sins,
13:13but on the faith of your church,
13:15and graciously grant her peace and unity,
13:18in accordance with your will,
13:20who live and reign,
13:21forever and ever.
13:24Peace of the Lord be with you always.

14:30My Jesus I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament
14:36I love you above all things and I desire to receive you into my soul
14:41Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally
14:44Commitly spiritually into my heart
14:47I embrace you as if you were already there
14:50And unite myself wholly to you
14:52Never permit me to be separated from you
14:56Amen
14:56Let us pray

15:15And persevere in integrity of religion to Christ our Lord
