00:13In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, peace be with you.
00:19We acknowledge our sins, we acknowledge the compassion, the mercy, and the love of God.
00:26Today is the feast of Saint Patrick, and he led us into saying yes to God.
00:32And that's why we are wearing white, and we have the Gloria and the Creed, because it's a solemnity here
00:37in Australia.
00:39Even though it's Lent, but we have a solemnity.
00:42So recognize our sins and recognize God's great mercy.
00:47Your gospel gives us hope and good news.
00:50Lord, have mercy.
00:52You empower us to live it with our lives and witness to you with our lives.
00:56Christ, have mercy.
00:58And you call us away from confusion into love.
01:01Lord, have mercy.
01:03May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and lead us into healing and life everlasting.
01:11Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of goodwill.
01:16We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you.
01:19We give you thanks for your great glory.
01:22Lord God, Heavenly King, O God Almighty Father.
01:26Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son.
01:29Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father.
01:32You take away the sins of the world.
01:35Have mercy on us.
01:36You take away the sins of the world.
01:39Receive our prayer.
01:41You are seated at the right hand of the Father.
01:43Have mercy on us.
01:45For you alone are the Holy One.
01:47You alone are the Lord.
01:49You alone are the Most High.
01:50Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father.
01:56Amen.
01:58Let us pray.
02:05O God, who chose the Bishop St. Patrick to preach your glory to the peoples of Ireland, grant through this
02:12his merits and intercession that those who glory in the name of Christian may never cease to proclaim your wondrous
02:20deeds to all.
02:21Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
02:27God, forever and ever.
02:29Amen.
02:34Amen.
02:35A reading from the prophet Jeremiah.
02:37The word of the Lord was addressed to me, saying, Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.
02:44Before you came to birth, I consecrated you.
02:48I appointed you as prophet to the nations.
02:51I said, Ah, Lord, look, I do not know how to speak.
02:55I am a child.
02:57But the Lord replied, Do not say I am a child.
03:00Go now to those to whom I send you and say whatever I command you.
03:05Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to protect you.
03:09It is the Lord who speaks.
03:11Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, There, I am putting my
03:17words into your mouth.
03:21The word of the Lord.
03:23Thanks be to God.
03:25Go out to all the nations and tell the good news.
03:28Go out to all the nations and tell the good news.
03:32Oh, praise the Lord, all you nations.
03:34I train him, all you peoples.
03:36Go out to all the world and tell the good news.
03:41Strong is his love for us.
03:43He is faithful forever.
03:44Go out to all the world and tell the good news.
03:49A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
03:52All and one of us spoke out boldly to the Jews.
03:55We had to proclaim the word of God to you first.
03:59But since you have rejected it, since you do not think yourselves worthy of eternal life,
04:04we must turn to the pagans.
04:06For this is what the Lord commanded us to do when he said,
04:10I have made you a light for the nations, so that my salvation may reach the ends of the earth.
04:17It made the pagans very happy to hear this.
04:20And they thanked God for his message.
04:23All who were destined for eternal life became believers.
04:28Thus the word of the Lord spread throughout the whole countryside.
04:33The word of the Lord.
04:35Thanks be to God.
04:39Praise and honor to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
04:42The Lord sent me to bring good news to the poor and freedom to prisoners.
04:46Praise and honor to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
04:52The Lord be with you.
04:54A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
04:57Glory to you, O Lord.
04:59The Lord appointed 70 to others and sent them out ahead of him in pairs
05:04to all the towns and places he himself was to visit.
05:08He said to them,
05:09The harvest is rich, but the laborers are few.
05:13So ask the Lord of the harvest to send laborers to his harvest.
05:17Start off now, but remember,
05:19I'm sending you out like lambs among wolves.
05:22Carry no purse, no haversack, no sandals.
05:25So you'd know when on the road.
05:27Whatever house you go into,
05:29let your first words be peace to this house.
05:32And if one of peace lives there,
05:34your peace will go and rest on them.
05:37If not, it will come back to you.
05:39Stay in that same house,
05:41taking what food and drink they have to offer.
05:43For the laborer deserves their wages.
05:46Do not move from house to house.
05:49Whenever you go into a town where they make you welcome,
05:52eat what is set before you.
05:55Cure those in it who are sick.
05:57And say,
05:59The kingdom of God is very near to you.
06:02But whenever you enter a town
06:04and they do not make you welcome,
06:07go out into the streets and say,
06:09We wipe off our very dust of your town
06:11that clings to our feet
06:13and leave it with you.
06:15Yet be sure of this,
06:17the kingdom of God is very near.
06:18I tell you on that day,
06:20it will not go as hard with Sodom
06:23as with that town.
06:26This event it too came back rejoicing.
06:28Lord, they said,
06:29even the devil submit themselves to us.
06:32And we, when we use your name,
06:34he said to them,
06:36I watched Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
06:39Yes, I have given you power
06:41to tread underfoot serpents and scorpions
06:44and the whole strength of the enemy.
06:47Nothing shall ever hurt you.
06:49You do not rejoice that the Spirit,
06:51yet do not rejoice
06:53that the Spirit submit to you.
06:56Rejoice rather
06:57that your names are written in heaven.
07:02the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
07:04Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
07:10Well, St. Patrick was the great missionary,
07:13of course, to Ireland,
07:14but the Irish church had missionaries everywhere.
07:17And to Australia.
07:19Most of the early priests in Australia
07:21were Irish and most of the early bishops
07:23and most of the early Catholics were Irish.
07:26So we have said the Nicotem a lot
07:28that we owe to the Irish church
07:30for the foundations of Catholicism here
07:33in our country.
07:34So we are called to live ourselves
07:37as missionaries in our own time,
07:40like Patrick,
07:41and to continue spreading the good news of Jesus
07:43to all who live in our land.
07:46With gratitude, we give thanks
07:47for the gift of faith
07:48that has come down to us
07:50in so many different ways.
07:52But we all share in that communion
07:54of love here
07:55and proclaim the gospel
07:57to all.
08:02Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
08:05for to your goodness
08:06we have this bread to offer
08:07which earth has given human hands
08:09and made.
08:10It will become for us
08:11the bread of life.
08:12Blessed be God forever.
08:16Amen.
08:20Amen.
08:28Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
08:30for to your goodness
08:31we have this wine to offer.
08:33Fruit of divine work
08:34of human hands
08:35it will become
08:35our spiritual drink.
08:37Blessed be God forever.
08:47Let us pray, brothers and sisters,
08:49that my sacrifice and yours
08:51may be acceptable
08:52to God, our almighty Father.
08:54May the Lord accept
08:55his sacrifice at our hands
08:57to the praise and glory
08:58of God's name
08:59for our good
09:00and the good of God's
09:01holy church.

09:08granted through the prayers
09:10and example of St. Patrick

09:13to Christ our Savior
09:14in a holy sacrifice of praise
09:17through Christ our Lord.
09:20Amen.
09:21The Lord be with you.

09:48of his holy life.

09:51of preaching
09:52and keep her safe

10:29the body and blood
10:31of our Lord Jesus Christ.
10:33At the time
10:34he was betrayed
10:34and entered willingly
10:36into his passion,
10:37he took bread
10:38and giving thanks
10:40broke it
10:40and gave it

10:44and eat of it
10:45for this is my body
10:47which will be given up

10:58and once more
10:59giving thanks
