10:06he gave it to his disciples, saying, Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this
10:13is the chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured
10:20out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.

10:58The Mystery of Faith
11:02Save us, Savior of the world, for by your cross and resurrection you have set us free.
11:10Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the bread of life and the chalice of salvation,
11:18giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you.
11:24Humbly we pray that, partaking of the body and blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
11:31Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world and bring her to the fullness of charity,
11:37together with Leo, our Pope, and Charles, our Bishop, and all the clergy.
11:41Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection,
11:46and all who have died in your mercy, welcome them into the light of your face.
11:51Have mercy on us all, we pray,
11:55that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
11:58with Blessed Joseph, her spouse, with the blessed apostles,
12:01and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages,
12:05we may merit to be co-heirs to eternal life,
12:08and may praise and glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ.
12:12Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, Almighty Father,
12:18in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours,
12:23forever and ever. Amen.
12:28At the Savior's command and form by divine teaching, we dare to say,
12:32Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
12:37Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
12:42Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
12:47as we forgive those who trespass against us.
12:50And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
12:55Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil.
12:57Lord, graciously grant peace in our days,
13:00that by the help of your mercy,
13:01we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress,
13:05as we await the blessed hope in the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
13:09For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever.
13:14Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles,
13:17Peace I leave you, my peace I give you.
13:20Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your church,
13:23and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will,
13:27who live and reign forever and ever.
13:29Amen.
13:30The peace of the Lord be with you always.
13:34Let's offer each other the sign of peace.
13:36Peace be with you.
13:49Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.
13:52Have mercy on us.
13:53Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.
13:57Have mercy on us.
13:59Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.
14:02Grant us peace.
14:03Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
14:31Blessed are those cold to the supper of the Lamb.
14:34Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,
14:39but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
14:42My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament.
14:48I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
14:53Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
14:56comidly, spiritually, into my heart,
14:59I embrace you as if you were already there,
15:02and unite myself wholly to you.
15:05Never permit me to be separated from you.
15:08Amen.
15:08Let us pray.
15:12Replenished by the food of spiritual nourishment,
15:15we humbly beseech you, O Lord,
15:18that through our partaking in this mystery,
15:22you may teach us to judge wisely the things of earth
15:24and hold firm to the things of heaven.
15:27Through Christ our Lord.
15:29Amen.
15:30Friends, thank you for your prayerful company today
15:33as we celebrate these days of preparation for the coming of the Lord.
15:39I truly invite you, dear friends, on behalf of your priests
15:43to consider whether you'll be able to attend reconciliation times
15:49and Christmas mass times at your local parishes
15:51so that we could enjoy together, you know,
15:55the gifts of our Lord and His holy sacraments of confession,
15:59but also of the Eucharist.
16:00Let's keep on praying for each other,
16:02for our families, especially for those who are traveling.
16:05Let's pray for their safe travels
16:07and that they may be able to find mass
16:10wherever they go during this Christmas season.
16:13The Lord be with you.
16:15May Almighty God bless you.
16:16The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
16:19go and announce the Gospel of the Lord.
16:22The Father and the Holy Spirit
