00:15In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, peace be with you.
00:21On this Friday of Lent we hear the call for conversion and healing.
00:27You call us to new life and new hope, Lord, have mercy.
00:31You call us to live life fully, Christ, have mercy.
00:35And you call us away from confusion into love, Lord, have mercy.
00:40May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and lead us into healing and life everlasting.
00:49Let us pray.
00:50Pour out your grace into our hearts, we pray, O Lord, that we may be constantly drawn away from our
00:56unruly desires and obeyed by your own gift, the heavenly teaching you give us.
01:03Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
01:09God, forever and ever. Amen.
01:14A reading from the prophet Hosea.
01:17The Lord says this.
01:19Israel, come back to the Lord your God.
01:22Your iniquity was the cause of your downfall.
01:26Provide yourself with words and come back to the Lord.
01:31Say to him, take all iniquity away, so that we may have happiness again, and offer you our words of
01:39praise.
01:41Assyria cannot save us.
01:48We will not ride horses anymore, or say, our God, what our hands have made.
01:56For you are the one in whom orphans find compassion.
02:01I will heal the disloyalty.
02:04I will love them with all my heart, for my anger has turned from them.
02:09I will fall like dew on Israel.
02:13He shall blossom like the lily, and thrust out roots like the poplar.
02:19His shoots will spread far.
02:22He will have the beauty of the olive, and the fragrance of Lebanon.
02:28They will come back to live in my shade.
02:31They will grow corn that flourishes.
02:34They will cultivate vines.
02:37As renowned as the wine of Helbron.
02:42What has Ephraim to do with idols anymore?
02:46When it is I who hear this prayer and care for him.
02:50I am a cypress evergreen.
02:53All your faithfulness comes from me.
02:57Let the wise men understand these words.
03:00Let the intelligent men grasp their meaning.
03:04For the ways of the Lord are straight.
03:07And virtuous people walk in them.
03:10But sinners stumble.
03:14The word of the Lord.
03:16Thanks be to God.
03:18I am the Lord your God.
03:20Hear my voice.
03:22I am the Lord your God.
03:23Hear my voice.
03:25A voice I did not know said to me.
03:27I freed your shoulder from the burden.
03:30Your hands were freed from the Lord.
03:33You called in distress and I saved you.
03:36I am the Lord your God.
03:38Hear my voice.
03:40I answered.
03:42Concealed in the storm cloud.
03:44At the waters of Meribah I tested you.
03:47Listen my people to my warning.
03:49O Israel if only you would heed.
03:53I am divine.
03:55The Lord your God.
03:56Hear my voice.
03:58Let there be no foreign God among you.
04:01No worship of an alien God.
04:03I am the Lord your God.
04:05Who brought you from the land of Egypt.
04:08I am the Lord your God.
04:11Hear my voice.
04:13O that my people would heed me.
04:15That Israel would walk in my ways.
04:18But Israel.
04:19I would feed with finest wheat.
04:22And fill them with honey.
04:24From the rock.
04:26I am the Lord your God.
04:28Hear my voice.
04:31Praise and honor to you Lord Jesus Christ.
04:34Repent says the Lord.
04:35The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
04:38Praise and honor to you Lord Jesus Christ.
04:44The Lord be with you.
04:48A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark.
04:54One of the scribes came to Jesus and put a question to him.
04:58Which is the first of all the commandments?
05:01Jesus replied.
05:03This is the first.
05:05Listen Israel.
05:06The Lord thy God is the one Lord.
05:10And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart.
05:13With all your soul.
05:14With all your mind.
05:16And with all your strength.
05:18The second is this.
05:20You must love your neighbor as yourself.
05:23There is no commandment greater than these.
05:27The scribe said to him.
05:34Well spoken master.
05:37What you have said is true.
05:38That he is one.
05:40And there is no other.
05:41To love him with all your heart.
05:44With all your understanding and strength.
05:46And to love your neighbor as yourself.
05:49This is far more important.
05:51Than any holocaust or sacrifice.
05:54Jesus seeing how wisely he has spoken said.
05:57You are not far from the kingdom of God.
06:00And after that.
06:01No wonder to question him anymore.
06:05The Gospel of the Lord.
06:08Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
06:11To love God with all our heart, mind, body and soul.
06:15And to love our neighbor as yourself.
06:17What a wonderful practice.
06:19What a wonderful freedom.
06:20What a wonderful release.
06:22We keep hearing that invitation from our Lord.
06:26Why do we not listen to the words of wisdom.
06:29And the words of life.
06:31And we keep on trying to do it our way.
06:33My way.
06:35And our way and our and my way.
06:37Is a limited way.
06:39God knows what is best for us.
06:46Blessed are you Lord God of all creation.
06:49For to your goodness we have this bread to offer.
06:52Which earth has given human hands have made.
06:55It will become for us the bread of life.
06:58Blessed be God forever.
07:13Blessed are you Lord God of all creation.
07:16For to your goodness we have this wine to offer.
07:18Fruit of divine work of human hands.
07:21It will become a spiritual drink.
07:23Blessed be God forever.
07:34Let us pray brothers and sisters that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God our almighty Father.
07:41May the Lord accept the sacrifice at our hands.
07:44For the praise and glory of God's name.
07:47For our good and the good of God's holy church.
07:52Look with favour we pray O Lord on the offerings we dedicate.
07:56That they may be pleasing in your sight.
07:58And always be salutary for us.
08:00Through Christ our Lord.
08:03Amen.
08:04The Lord be with you.
08:06Lift up your hearts.
08:09Let us give thanks to the Lord thy God.
08:11It is truly right and just.
08:14Our true duty and our salvation.
08:17Always and everywhere to give you thanks.
08:20Lord holy Father almighty and eternal God.
08:24For you have given your children a sacred time.
08:26For the renewing and purifying of their hearts.
08:30That freed from disordered affections.
08:32They may so deal with the things of this passing world.
08:35As to hold rather to the things that are eternally endure.
08:40And so with all the angels and saints we praise you.
08:43As without end we acclaim.
08:46Holy holy holy Lord God of hosts.
08:49Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
08:52Hosanna in the highest.
08:54Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
08:58Hosanna in the highest.
09:00You are indeed holy O Lord the fount of all holiness.
09:04Make holy therefore these gifts we pray.
09:06By sending down your spirit upon them like the dewfall.
09:10So that they may become for us.
09:12The body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
09:15At the time he was betrayed.
09:18And entered willingly into his passion.
09:20He took bread.
09:22And giving thanks broke it.
09:24And gave it to his disciples saying.
09:26Take this all of you and eat of it.
09:37For this is the chalice of my blood.
09:52The blood of the new and eternal covenant.
09:55Which will be poured out for you and for many.
09:58For the forgiveness of sins.
10:01Do this in memory of me.
10:09The mystery of faith.
10:11When we eat this bread and drink this cup.
10:14We proclaim your death O Lord.
10:17Until you come again.
10:20Therefore as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection.
10:24We offer you Lord the bread of life.
10:26And the chalice of salvation.
10:29Giving thanks that you've held us worthy.
10:31To be in your presence and minister to you.
10:34Humbly we pray.
10:35That partaking of the body and blood of Christ.
10:38We may be guided into one.
10:41By the Holy Spirit.
10:43Remember Lord your church.
10:45Spread throughout the world.
10:46And bring her to the fullness of charity.
10:49Together with Leo our Pope.
10:51Me your unworthy servant.
10:53And all the clergy.
10:55Remember also our brothers and sisters.
10:57Who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection.
11:00And all who have died in your mercy.
11:02Welcome them into the light of your face.
11:06Have mercy on us all.
11:08We pray.
11:09That with the blessed Virgin Mary.
11:10Mother of God.
11:11Blessed Joseph has passed.
11:13With the blessed apostles.
11:15And all the saints.
11:15Who have preached you throughout the ages.
11:17We may merit to be coerced to eternal life.
11:21And may praise and glorify you.
11:24Through your son Jesus Christ.
11:29Through him and with him and in him.
11:31In the name of God.
11:32Almighty Father.
11:33In the unity of the Holy Spirit.
11:35All glory and honor is yours.
11:38Forever and ever.
11:39Amen.
11:41In the Savior's command.
11:43And formed by divine teaching.
11:45We dare to say.
11:47Our Father.
11:47Who art in heaven.
11:49Hallowed be thy name.
11:50Thy kingdom come.
11:52Thy will be done on earth.
11:53As it is in heaven.
11:55Give us this day.
11:56Our daily bread.
11:57And forgive us our trespasses.
11:59As we forgive those who trespass against us.
12:02And lead us not into temptation.
12:05But deliver us from evil.
12:07Deliver us Lord.
12:08We pray from every evil.
12:10Graciously grant peace in our days.
12:12That by the help of your mercy.
12:14We may be always free from sin.
12:16And safe from all distress.
12:17As we await the blessed hope.
12:20And the coming of our Savior Jesus Christ.
12:22Christ.
12:23For the kingdom.
12:24The power.
12:24And the glory are yours.
12:26Now and forever.
12:28Lord Jesus Christ.
12:30Who said to your apostles.
12:31Peace I leave you.
12:32My peace I give you.
12:34Look not on our sins.
12:35But on the faith of your church.
12:37And graciously grant her peace and unity.
12:39In accordance with your will.
12:41Who live and reign forever and ever.
12:43Amen.

12:46Be with you always.
12:47Let us offer each other.
12:49A sign of peace.
12:50Peace be with you all.
12:53Lamb of God.

12:57Have mercy on us.
12:59Lamb of God.
13:01You take away the sins of the world.
13:03Have mercy on us.
13:05Lamb of God.
13:06You take away the sins of the world.
13:09Grant us peace.
13:24Behold the Lamb of God.
13:25Who takes away the sins of the world.
13:28Happy are those who are called to the supper of the Lamb.
13:31Lord I am not worthy.
13:32You should enter under my roof.
13:34But only say the word.
13:36And my soul shall be healed.
13:38My Jesus.
13:39I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament.
13:43I love you above all things.
13:45And I desire to receive you into my soul.
13:48Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally.
13:51Come at least spiritually into my heart.
13:54I embrace you as if you were already there.
13:56And unite myself wholly to you.
13:59Never permit me to be separated from you.
14:02Amen.
14:06Let us pray.

14:18Through Christ our Lord.
14:20Amen.
14:20The Lord be with you.
14:22And may the peace and the blessing of the Father and of the Son.
14:25And of the Holy Spirit come upon you and remain always with you.
14:28Let us go and proclaim the Gospel by our lives.
14:32Thanks be to God.
14:33And God bless your day.
