00:14In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, peace be with you.
00:18We acknowledge our sins, but more importantly, the compassion, the mercy of God's love.
00:25You are with us in good times and in bad times.
00:27Lord, have mercy.
00:30You empower us to live life fully with your gentleness and love.
00:34Christ, have mercy.
00:35You call us away from confusion into the security of your love.
00:41Lord, have mercy.
00:42May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and lead us into healing and life everlasting.
00:49Let us pray.
00:51Grant us, we pray, O Lord, perseverance in obeying your will, that in our days the people dedicated
00:58to your service may grow, both in merit and number, through our Lord Jesus Christ, your
01:04Son, who lives and reigns with you in the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
01:09Amen.
01:13A reading from the book of Numbers.
01:17The Israelites left Mount Hor by the road to the Sea of Suf to skirt the land of Edom.
01:27On the way, the people lost patience.
01:30They spoke against God and against Moses.
01:33Why did you bring us out of Egypt to die in this wilderness?
01:37For there is neither bread nor water here.
01:40We are sick of this unsatisfying food.
01:45At this, God sent fiery serpents among the people.
01:49Their bite brought death to many in Israel.
01:52The people came and said to Moses, We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against
01:57you.
01:59Intercede for us with the Lord to save us from these serpents.
02:04Moses interceded for the people, and the Lord answered him, Make a fiery serpent and
02:11put it on a standard.
02:13If anyone is bitten and looks at it, they will live.
02:17So Moses fashioned a bronze serpent, which he put on a standard.
02:22And if anyone was bitten by a serpent, they looked at the bronze serpent and lived.
02:31The word of the Lord.
02:34Thanks be to God.
02:36O Lord, hear my prayer.
02:38Let my cry come to you.
02:40O Lord, hear my prayer.
02:42Let my cry come to you.
02:44O Lord, listen to my prayer.
02:46Let my cry for help reach you.
02:49Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress.
02:54Turn your ear towards me and answer me quickly when I call.
02:59O Lord, hear my prayer.
03:01And let my cry come to you.
03:03The nations shall fear the name of the Lord and all the earth kings your glory.
03:09When the Lord shall build up Zion again and appear in all his glory, then he will turn
03:15to the prayers of the helpless and he will not despise their prayers.
03:45O Lord, hear my prayer.
03:47And let my cry come to you.
03:50Praise to you, O Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory.
03:54The seed is the word of God.
03:56Christ is the sovereign.
03:58All who come to him will live forever.
04:01Praise to you, O Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory.
04:06The Lord be with you.
04:08A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John.
04:11Glory to you, O Lord.
04:14Jesus said to the Pharisees,
04:17I'm going your way.
04:18You will look for me and you will die in your sin.
04:23Where I'm going, you cannot come.
04:27The Jewish readers said to one another,
04:30Will he kill himself?
04:32Is that what he means by saying,
04:35Where I'm going, you cannot come?
04:38Jesus went on,
04:41You are from below.
04:42I am from above.
04:44You are of this world.
04:46I'm not of this world.
04:48I've told you already,
04:50you will die in your sins.
04:52Yes, if you do not believe that I am he.
04:55You will die in your sins.
04:58So they said to him,
05:00Who are you?
05:02Jesus answered,
05:04What I've told you from the outset,
05:07about you I have much to say,
05:09and much to condemn.
05:11But the one who sent me is truthful.
05:14And what I have learned from him,
05:16I declare to the world.
05:19They failed to understand
05:21that he was talking to them
05:23about the Father.
05:25So Jesus said,
05:27When you have lifted up the Son of Man,
05:30then you will know that I am he,
05:32and that I do nothing of myself.
05:36What the Father has taught me
05:37is what I preach.
05:40He who sent me is with me,
05:42and has not left me to myself.
05:45For I'm always,
05:47I always do,
05:48what pleases him.
05:51As he was saying this,
05:52many came to believe in him.
05:56The gospel of the Lord.
05:58Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
06:09A reminder to let Jesus convert us,
06:14not to be stuck,
06:18to name the ego within us,
06:22to die to the old self,
06:25to be born again in the new.
06:28It's a time of conversion,
06:31a time of new hope,
06:33a time of new life.
06:36Lent is such a wonderful opportunity
06:39to take stock,
06:40to change,
06:42to grow.
06:52Blessed are you,
06:53Lord God of all creation,
06:55for to your goodness
06:56we have this bread to offer,
06:57which earth has given,
06:59human hands have made.
07:00It will become for us
07:01the bread of life.
07:03Blessed be God forever.
07:28Blessed are you,
07:29Lord God of all creation,
07:31for to your goodness
07:32we have this wine to offer,
07:33fruit of divine work
07:35of human hands.
07:36It will become
07:37our spiritual drink.
07:39Blessed be God forever.
07:52Let us pray,
07:54brothers and sisters,
07:55that my sacrifice and yours
07:56may be acceptable to God,
07:58our Almighty Father.
07:59May the Lord accept
08:01the sacrifice at our hands
08:02with the praise and glory
08:03of God's name,
08:05for our good
08:05and the good
08:06and good of God's
08:06Holy Church.
08:11We offer you,
08:12O Lord,
08:13the sacrifice
08:15of reconciliation,
08:17that being moved
08:18to compassion,
08:19you may both
08:20pardon our offenses
08:21and direct
08:22our wavering hearts.
08:24Through Christ,
08:25our Lord.
08:26Amen.
08:30The Lord be with you.
08:33Lift up your hearts.
08:36Let us give thanks
08:37to the Lord our God.
08:39It is truly right and just.
08:43Our duty and our salvation,
08:45always and everywhere,
08:48to give you thanks,
08:49Lord,
08:50Holy Father,
08:50Almighty and eternal God.
08:53For you will
08:54that our self-denial
08:55should give you thanks.
08:57Humble our sinful pride,
08:59contribute to the feeding
09:00of the poor,
09:02and so help us
09:03imitate you
09:04in your kindness.
09:06And so we glorify you
09:08with countless angels,
09:10as with one voice
09:11of praise
09:11we acclaim.
09:13Holy,
09:14Holy,
09:15Holy Lord,
09:16God of hosts,
09:17heaven and earth
09:18are full of your glory.
09:20Hosanna in the highest.
09:22Blessed is he
09:23who comes
09:24in the name of the Lord.
09:25Hosanna
09:26in the highest.
09:28You are indeed
09:29holy,
09:30O Lord,
09:30the fount of all holiness.
09:32Make holy,
09:33therefore,
09:33these gifts,
09:34we pray,
09:34by sending down
09:35your Spirit upon them
09:36like the dewfall,
09:38so they may become
09:39for us
09:39the body and blood
09:41of our Lord Jesus Christ.
09:43At the time
09:44he was betrayed
09:45and entered willingly
09:46into his passion,
09:48he took bread
09:49and giving thanks
09:50broke it
09:51and gave it
09:52to his disciples,
09:55saying,
09:55Take this,
09:56all of you,
09:57and eat of it,
09:58for this is my body,
10:00which will be given up
10:01for you.
10:09In a similar way,
10:11when supper was ended,
10:12he took the chalice
10:14and once more
10:15giving thanks,
10:16he gave it
10:17to his disciples,
10:18saying,
10:19Take this,
10:19all of you,
10:20and drink from it,
10:21for this is the chalice
10:23of my blood,
10:24the blood of the new
10:26and eternal covenant,
10:28which will be pulled out
10:29for you
10:30and for many
10:30for the forgiveness
10:32of sins.
10:34Do this
10:35in memory of me.
10:42The mystery of faith,
10:44when we eat this bread
10:46and drink this cup,
10:47we proclaim
10:48your death,
10:49O Lord,
10:50until you come again.
10:53Therefore,
10:54as we celebrate
10:55the memorial
10:55of his death
10:56and resurrection,
10:57we offer you,
10:58Lord,
10:59the bread of life
10:59and the chalice
11:00of salvation,
11:02giving thanks
11:03that you've held us
11:04worthy
11:04to be in your presence
11:06and minister to you.
11:09Humbly we pray
11:10that partaking
11:11of the body
11:12and blood of Christ,
11:13we may be gathered
11:14into one
11:15by the Holy Spirit.
11:17Remember,
11:18Lord,
11:19your church
11:19spread throughout
11:20the world
11:20and bring her
11:22to the fullness
11:22of charity
11:24together with
11:25Cleo,
11:25our Pope,
11:26me,
11:27your unworthy servant
11:28and all the clergy.
11:31Remember also
11:32our brothers
11:32and sisters
11:33who have fallen asleep
11:35in the hope
11:35of the resurrection
11:37and all who have died
11:38in your mercy.
11:40Welcome them
11:41into the light
11:42of your face.
11:44Have mercy
11:45on us all,
11:46we pray,
11:46that with the
11:47Blessed Virgin Mary,
11:48Mother of God,
11:49Blessed Joseph,
11:50her spouse,
11:51with the blessed
11:52apostles
11:52and all the saints
11:54who have pleased you
11:55throughout the ages,
11:56we may merit
11:58to be coerced
11:59to eternal life
12:00and may praise
12:01and glorify you
12:02through your Son,
12:04Jesus Christ.
12:09Through him
12:10and with him
12:10and in him,
12:11O God,
12:12Almighty Father,
12:13in the unity
12:13of the Holy Spirit,
12:15all glory
12:15and honor
12:16is yours
12:17forever
12:17and ever.
12:18Amen.
12:21In the Saviour's
12:22command
12:22and form
12:23by divine teaching,
12:24we dare to say,
12:26Our Father,
12:27who art in heaven,
12:28hallowed be thy name,
12:30thy kingdom come,
12:32thy will be done
12:32on earth
12:33as it is in heaven.
12:35Give us this day
12:36our daily bread
12:37and forgive us
12:38our trespasses
12:39as we forgive
12:40those who trespass
12:41against us
12:42and lead us
12:43not into temptation,
12:45but deliver us
12:46from evil.
12:47Deliver us,
12:48Lord,
12:49we pray
12:49from every evil.
12:51Graciously grant
12:51peace in our days

12:54of your mercy
12:55we may be always

12:57from all distress
12:58as we await
13:00the blessed hope
13:01and the coming
13:01of our Saviour,

13:04For the kingdom,
13:05the power
13:06and the glory
13:07are yours
13:08now and forever.
13:10Lord Jesus Christ,
13:11who said to your apostles,
13:13Peace I leave you,
13:14my peace I give you,
13:15look not on our sins,
13:17but on the faith
13:17of your church

13:28Jesus Christ

14:10who takes away
14:11the sins of the world,
14:12happy are those
14:13who are called
14:13to the supper of the Lamb.
14:15Lord, I am not worthy,
14:17you should enter under my roof,
14:18but only say the word
14:19and my soul shall be healed.
14:23My Jesus,
14:24I believe that you are present
14:26in the most blessed sacrament.
14:28I love you above all things
14:29and I desire to receive you
14:31into my soul.
14:32Since I cannot now
14:34receive you sacramentally,
14:36commonly, spiritually
14:37into my heart,
14:38I embrace you
14:39as if you were already there
14:41and unite myself wholly to you.
14:44Never permit me
14:45to be separated from you.
14:47Amen.
14:48Let us pray.
14:54May the mysteries
14:55we have received,
14:56O Lord,
14:57bring us heavenly medicine
14:59that they may perish
15:01or leave you from our heart
15:02and strengthen us
15:04with eternal protection.
15:06Through Christ our Lord.
15:08Amen.
15:09The Lord be with you
15:10and may the peace
15:12and the blessing
15:12of the Father
15:13and of the Son
15:14and of the Holy Spirit
15:15come upon you
15:16and remain always with you.
15:18Let us go
15:19and proclaim the gospel
15:21by our lives.
15:22Thanks be to God
15:23and God bless your day.
