00:14In 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
00:24as we continue our lengthy journey.
00:27You are with us always, Lord, have mercy.
00:30You turn to good everything for those who love you, Christ, have mercy.
00:35You call us away from fear into love, Lord, have mercy.
00:39May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins and lead us into healing and life everlasting.
00:47Let us pray.
00:50Be near, O Lord, to those who plead before you and look kindly on those who place their hope in
00:56your mercy
00:57that cleansed from the stain of their sins they may persevere in holy living
01:03and be made full earth of your promise through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
01:09who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
01:16Amen.
01:20A reading from the book of Genesis.
01:24Abraham bowed to the ground and God said this to him.
01:28Here now is my covenant with you.
01:31You shall become the father of a multitude of nations.
01:35You shall no longer be called Abraham.
01:37Your name shall be Abraham.
01:40For I will make you father of a multitude of nations.
01:44I will make you most fruitful.
01:47I will make you into nations and your issue shall be kings.
01:52I will establish my covenant between myself and you and your descendants after you.
01:58Generation after generation.
02:01A covenant in perpetuity to be your God and the God of your descendants.
02:08I will give you and to your descendants after you the land you are living in,
02:14the whole land of Canaan, to own in perpetuity and I will be your God.
02:20God said to Abraham,
02:23You on your part shall maintain my covenant yourself and your descendants after you.
02:30Generation after generation.
02:32Generation after generation.
02:34The word of the Lord.
02:36Thanks be to God.
02:38The Lord remembers his covenant forever.
02:42The Lord remembers his covenant forever.
02:45Consider the Lord and his strength, constantly seeking his face.
02:49Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, the judgments he spoke.
02:54The Lord remembers his covenant forever.
02:57O children of Abraham, his servant.
03:00O sons of this Jacob he chose.
03:03He, the Lord, is our God.
03:05His judgments prevail in all the years.
03:07The Lord remembers his covenant forever.
03:10He remembers his covenant forever.
03:13His promise for a thousand generations.
03:16The covenant he made with Abraham.
03:18The oath he swore to Isaac.
03:21The Lord remembers his covenant forever.
03:25Glory and praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
03:28If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
03:32Glory and praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
03:36The Lord be with you.
03:38A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John.
03:42Glory to you, O Lord.
03:45Jesus said to the people,
03:47I tell you most solemnly,
03:49Whoever keeps my word will never see death.
03:52The people said,
03:54Now we know for certain that you are possessed.
03:57Abraham is dead.
03:59And the prophets are dead.
04:01And yet you say,
04:02Whoever keeps my word will never know the taste of death.
04:06Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?
04:10The prophets are dead too.
04:12Who are you claiming to be?
04:14Jesus answered,
04:16If I were to seek my own glory,
04:19That would be no glory at all.
04:22My glory is conferred by the father,
04:25And by the one of whom you say he is our God.
04:29Although you do not know him,
04:31But I know him.
04:33And if I were to say,
04:35I do not know him,
04:36I would be a liar,
04:38As you are liars yourselves.
04:40But I do know him,
04:42And I faithfully keep his word.
04:45Your father Abraham rejoiced,
04:48To think that he would see my day.
04:51He saw it,
04:52And was glad.
04:55The people said,
04:57You are not fifty yet,
04:58And yet you have seen Abraham.
05:00Jesus replied,
05:02I tell you most solemnly,
05:04Before Abraham ever was,
05:06I am.
05:07At this they picked up stones to throw at him,
05:11But Jesus hid himself,
05:12And left the temple.
05:15The gospel of the Lord.
05:19Praise to you,
05:21Lord Jesus Christ.
05:25Living forever.
05:30Jesus is our life.
05:33We are called to holiness.
05:37We are called to humility.
05:40We are called to say yes to God with our whole heart.
05:45Lent is a call to holiness.
05:50We pray that whatever blocks us from saying that full hearted yes to God,
05:55Will be taken away from our hearts.
06:01Let this land be a time of new hope.
06:05New life.
06:13Blessed are you,
06:14Lord God of all creation,
06:15For to your goodness we have this bread to offer,
06:17Which earth has given human hands have made,
06:20It will become for us the bread of life.
06:22Blessed be God forever.
06:27By the mystery of this water and wine,
06:29May we come to share in the divinity of Christ,
06:32To humble himself,
06:33To share in our humanity.
06:38Blessed are you,
06:39Lord God of all creation,
06:41For to your goodness we have this wine to offer,
06:43Fruit of divine work of human hands,
06:45It will become a spiritual drink.
06:48Blessed be God forever.
06:58Let us pray,
06:59Brothers and sisters,
07:00That my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God,
07:03Our almighty Father.
07:04May the Lord accept his sacrifice at our hands,
07:08For the praise and glory of God's name,
07:10For our good,
07:11And the good of God's holy church.
07:15Look with favour,
07:17Lord, we pray,
07:18On these sacrificial offerings,
07:20That they may profit our conversion,
07:23And the salvation of all the world.
07:25Through Christ our Lord.
07:27Amen.
07:30The Lord be with you.
07:32Lift up your hearts.
07:34Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
07:37It is truly right and just,
07:39Our duty and our salvation,
07:41Always and everywhere to give you thanks,
07:44Lord,
07:44Holy Father,
07:45Almighty and eternal God.
07:47For you have given your children a sacred time,
07:50For the renewing and purifying of their hearts,
07:53That freed from disordered affections,
07:55They may so deal with the things of this passing world,
07:59As to hold rather to the things that eternally endure.
08:02And so,
08:04With all the angels and saints we praise you,
08:06As without end we acclaim,
08:08Holy,
08:09Holy,
08:10Holy Lord,
08:11God of hosts,
08:12Heaven and earth are full of your glory,
08:14Hosanna in the highest.
08:16Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,
08:20Hosanna in the highest.
08:22You are indeed holy,
08:24O Lord,
08:24The fount of all holiness.
08:26Make holy,
08:26Therefore these gifts we pray,
08:28By sending down your spirit upon them,
08:30Like the dewfall,
08:31So that they may become for us,
08:33The body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
08:36At the time he was betrayed,
08:39And entered willingly into his passion,
08:41He took bread,
08:43And giving thanks,
08:44Broke it,
08:45And gave it to his disciples,
08:47Saying,
08:47Take this all of you,
08:48And eat of it,
08:49For this is my body,
08:51Which will be given up for you.
08:57In a similar way,
08:59When supper was ended,
09:01He took the chalice,
09:02And once more giving thanks,
09:04He gave it to his disciples,
09:06Saying,
09:07Take this all of you,
09:08And drink from it,
09:09For this is the chalice of my blood,
09:12The blood of the new and eternal covenant,
09:14Which will be pulled out for you,
09:17And for many,
09:18For the forgiveness of sins,
09:20Do this in memory of me.
09:29The mystery of faith,
09:31We proclaim your death,
09:33O Lord,
09:34And profess your resurrection,
09:36Until you come again.
09:38Therefore,
09:39As we celebrate the memorial,
09:40Of his death and resurrection,
09:42We offer you,
09:43Lord,
09:43The bread of life,
09:44And the chalice of salvation,
09:47Giving thanks,
09:48That you felt us worthy,
09:50To be in your presence,
09:51And ministered to you,
09:53Humbly we pray,
09:54That partaking of the body,
09:56And blood of Christ,
09:57We may be gathered into one,
09:59By the Holy Spirit.
10:01Remember,
10:02Lord,
10:02Your church,
10:03Spread throughout the world,
10:04And bring her to the fullness of charity,
10:07Together with Leo,
10:08Our Pope,
10:09Meet your unworthy servant,
10:10And all the clergy.
10:14Remember also,
10:15Our brothers and sisters,
10:17Who have fallen asleep,
10:18In the hope of the resurrection,
10:20And all who have died,
10:21In your mercy,
10:23Welcome them,
10:24Into the light of your face,
10:26Have mercy on us all,
10:28We pray,
10:28That with the blessed Virgin Mary,
10:30Mother of God,
10:31Blessed Joseph,
10:32Her spouse,
10:33With the blessed apostles,
10:35And all the saints,
10:36Who have pleased you,
10:37Throughout the ages,
10:39We may marriage,
10:40To be coerced,
10:41To eternal life,
10:42And may praise,
10:43And glorify you,
10:45Through your son,
10:46Jesus Christ.
10:50Through him,
10:51And with him,
10:51And in him,
10:52O God,
10:53Almighty Father,
10:54In the unity of the Holy Spirit,
10:56All glory and honor,
10:57Is yours for ever and ever.
11:00Amen.
11:01At the Savior's command,
11:03And formed by divine teaching,
11:04We dare to say,
11:06Our Father,
11:07Who art in heaven,
11:08Hallowed be thy name,
11:10Thy kingdom come,
11:12Thy will be done,
11:13On earth,
11:13As it is in heaven.
11:15Give us this day,
11:17Our daily bread,
11:18And forgive us our trespasses,
11:20As we forgive those,
11:22Who trespass against us,
11:23And lead us not into temptation,
11:26But deliver us from evil.
11:28Deliver us, Lord,
11:29We pray from every evil,
11:30Graciously grant peace in our days,
11:33That by the help of your mercy,
11:35We may be always free from sin,
11:37And safe from all distress,
11:39As we await the blessed hope,
11:41And the coming of our Savior,
11:42Jesus Christ,
11:43For the kingdom,
11:44The power and the glory are yours,
11:47Now and forever.
11:49Lord Jesus Christ,
11:50Who said to your apostles,
11:52Peace I leave you,
11:53My peace I give you,
11:54Look not on our sins,
11:56But on the faith of your church,
11:57And graciously grant her peace and unity,
12:00In accordance with your will,
12:02Who live and reign forever and ever.
12:05The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
12:07Be with you always,
12:08Let us offer each other a sign of peace,
12:11Peace be with you all.
12:15Lamb of God,
12:17You take away the sins of the world,
12:19Have mercy on us.
12:21Lamb of God,
12:22You take away the sins of the world,
12:24Have mercy on us.
12:26Lamb of God,
12:27You take away the sins of the world,
12:29Grant us peace.
12:48Behold the Lamb of God,
12:49Who takes away the sins of the world,
12:51Happy are those who are called to the supper of the Lamb,
12:54Lord, I am not worthy you should enter under my roof,
12:57But only say the word,
12:59And my soul shall be healed.
13:00My Jesus,
13:03I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament.
13:06I love you above all things,
13:08And I desire to receive you into my soul.
13:11Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
13:14Commently spiritually into my heart,
13:17I embrace you as if you were already there,
13:19And unite myself wholly to you.
13:22Never permit me to be separated from you.
13:25Amen.
13:27Let us pray.
13:29Nourished by your saving gifts,
13:32We beseech your mercy, Lord,
13:34That by this same sacrament,
13:36With which you feed us in the present age,
13:39You may make us partakers of life eternal,
13:42Through Christ our Lord.
13:44Amen.
13:44The Lord be with you,
13:46And may the peace and the blessing,
13:48May the blessing of the Father,
13:50And of the Son,
13:51And of the Holy Spirit come upon you,
13:53And remain always with you.
13:54Let us go and live the gospel.
13:57Thanks be to God,
13:59And God bless your day.
