01:13Lord 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.
01:30You take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer.
01:34Father, 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 and the glory of God the Father.
01:51Amen.
01:52Let us pray.
01:57Almighty, ever-living God, we humbly implore your majesty that just as your only begotten Son was presented on this day in the temple in the substance of our flesh, so by your grace we may be presented to you with minds made pure through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
02:21Amen.
02:21A reading from the prophet Malachi.
02:29The Lord God says this, look, I'm going to send my messenger to prepare a way before me, and the Lord you are seeking will suddenly enter his temple, and the angel of the covenant, whom you are longing for, yes, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts.
02:47Who will be able to resist the day of his coming, who will remain standing when he appears?
02:55For he is like the refiner's fire, and the fuller's alkali, he will take his seat as refiner and purifier, he will purify the children of Levi, and refine them like gold and silver.
03:08And then they will make the offering to the Lord, as it should be made, the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will then be welcomed by the Lord as in former days, as in the years of old.
03:23The word of the Lord, thanks be to God.
03:29Who is this King of glory?
03:32It is the Lord.
03:33Who is this King of glory?
03:35It is the Lord.
03:37Who is this King of glory?
03:45It is the Lord.
03:47Who is this King of glory?
03:50The Lord, the mighty, the valiant, the Lord, the valiant in war.
03:55Who is this King of glory?
03:57It is the Lord.
03:58O Gage the fire heads, grow higher ancient doors, let him enter the King of glory.
04:05Who is this King of glory?
04:07It is the Lord.
04:09Who is he, the King of glory?
04:12He, the Lord of armies.
04:14He is the King of glory.
04:16Who is this King of glory?
04:19It is the Lord.
04:21A reading from the letter to the Hebrews.
04:23Since all the children shared the same blood and flesh, Jesus too shared equally in it, so that by his death he would take away all the power of the devil, who had power over death, and set free all those who had been held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death.
04:47So it was not the angels that he took to himself.
04:51He took to himself to send from Abraham.
04:54It was essential that he should, in this way, become completely like his brothers, so that he would be a compassionate and trustworthy high priest of God's religion, able to atome for human sins.
05:09That is, because he was himself, as he has been tempted, and is able to help others who are tempted.
05:16The word of the Lord.
05:20Thanks be to God.
05:22Alleluia, alleluia.
05:24This is the light of revelation for the nations and the glory of your people, Israel.
05:32Alleluia.
05:32The Lord be with you.
05:39A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
05:42Glory to you, O Lord.
05:45When the day came for them to be purified as laid down by the law of Moses, the parents of Jesus took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, observing what stands written in the law of the Lord.
05:59Every firstborn male must be present consecrated to the Lord, and also to offering sacrifice in accordance with what is said in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.
06:15Now in Jerusalem there was a man named Simeon.
06:19He was an upright and devout man.
06:22He looked forward to Israel's comforting, and the Holy Spirit rested on him.
06:27It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he had set his eyes on the Christ of the Lord.
06:37Prompted by the Spirit, he came to the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the law required, he took him into his arms and blessed God, and he said,
06:51Now, Master, you can let your servant go in peace, just as you promised, because my eyes have seen the salvation which you have prepared for all the nations to see, a light to enlighten the pagans and the glory of your people Israel.
07:08As the child's father and mother stood there wondering at the things that were being said about him, Simeon blessed them and said to marry his mother,
07:22You see, this child, he is destined for the fall and the rising of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is rejected, and the sword will pierce your own soul too, so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.
07:39The gospel of the Lord, praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
07:46Jesus is truly human, not a make-believe human, and he is presented according to the customs and times and beliefs of the Jewish people of his time to the Lord.
07:57The manifestation of the Lord, the epiphany, as we celebrated some weeks ago, he was demonstrated, he was shown to the pagans, and again, Simeon talks about that today, that Jesus came for all people, he is the light of the nations.
08:16In other words, he is our way, our truth, our life, he is our guide, he is the fulfillment of God's plan for us, he is the fullness of God's plan for us.
08:46I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
09:12He descended into hell. On the third day, he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From there, he will come to judge the living and the dead.
09:26I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
09:37Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for to your goodness we have this bread to offer, which earth has given human hands have made. It will become for us the bread of life.
09:51Blessed be God forever.
10:07Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for to your goodness we have this wine to offer, fruit of divine work of human hands. It will become a spiritual dream.
10:18Blessed be God forever.
10:25Let us pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, our Almighty Father.
10:32May 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.
10:42May the offering made with exaltation of by your church be pleasing to you, O Lord, we pray, for you will that your only begotten Son be offered to you for the life of the world as the Lamb without blemish, who lives and reigns forever and ever.
10:57May the Lord be with you, lift up your hearts, let us give thanks to the Lord our God, 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.
11:16For your co-eternal Son was presented on this day in the temple and revealed by the Spirit as the glory of Israel and light of the nations.
11:27And so we too go forth rejoicing to encounter your salvation, and with the angels and saints praise you, as without end we acclaim, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of hosts, heaven and earth are full of your glory, Hosanna in the highest.
11:47Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.
11:53You 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 they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
12:08At 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,
12:20Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my body, which will be given out for you.
12:26In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice, and once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying,
12:42Take 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.
12:57Do this in memory of me.
12:59The mystery of faith, we proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your resurrection until you come again.
13:15Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the bread of life and the chalice of salvation,
13:27giving thanks that you've held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you.
13:33Humbly we pray that, partaking of the body and blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
13:40Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the fullness of charity,
13:46together with Leo, our Pope, me, your unworthy servant, and all the clergy.
13:53Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection,
13:59and all who have died in your mercy.
14:01Welcome them into the light of your face.
14:04Have mercy on us all, we pray, that with the blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
14:10blessed Joseph, her spouse, with the blessed Apostles,
14:14and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages,
14:17we may, through your grace, merit to be coerced to eternal life.
14:21And may praise and glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ.
14:25Through him and with him and in him, O God, almighty Father,
14:32in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
14:34all glory and honor is yours forever and ever. Amen.
14:41At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say,
14:45Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
14:50Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
14:55Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
15:01as we forgive those who trespass against us.
15:04And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
15:09Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil.
15:11Lord, graciously grant peace in our days,
15:14that by the help of your mercy,
15:16we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress,
15:20as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
15:25For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever.
15:31Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles,
15:34Peace I leave you, my peace I give you.
15:37Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your church,
15:40and graciously grant her peace and unity,
15:43in accordance with your will, who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.
15:48The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always.
15:52Let us offer each other a sign of the peace of Jesus.
15:55Peace be with you all.
15:57Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
16:03and have mercy on us.
16:05Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
16:09and have mercy on us.
16:11Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
16:14grant us peace.
16:15Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.
16:34Happy are those who are called to the supper of the Lamb.
16:37Lord, I am not worthy, you should enter under my roof,
16:41but only say the word, and my soul shall be healed.
16:44My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament.
16:50I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
16:54Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
16:58comely spiritually into my heart,
17:00I embrace you as if you were already there,
17:03and unite myself wholly to you.
17:06Never permit me to be separated from you.
17:09Amen.
17:09Let us pray.
17:12By these holy gifts which we have received, O Lord,
17:15bring your grace to perfection within us,
17:18and as you fulfilled Simeon's expectations,
17:22that he would not see death,
17:23and they had been privileged to welcome the Christ.
17:26So may we, going forth, meet the Lord,
17:29obtain the gift of eternal life.
17:31Through Christ our Lord.
17:32Amen.
17:33The Lord be with you.
17:35And with just...
17:35And may the peace and the blessing of the Father,
17:38and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit come upon you,
17:41and remain always with you.
17:42Let us go and live the gospel.
17:45Thanks be to God, and God bless your day.
17:48Let us go and live the gospel.
