02:39to
02:39the brothers there were about a hundred and twenty persons in the congregation brothers the passage of
02:47scripture has to be fulfilled in which the holy spirit speaking through david foretells the faith of judas
02:55who offered himself as a guide to the men who arrested jesus after having been one of our number
03:02and actually sharing this ministry of ours now in the book of psalms it says that his camp be reduced
03:10to ruin let there be no one to live in it and again let someone else take his office
03:19we must therefore choose someone who has been with us the whole time that the lord jesus was traveling
03:25around with us someone who was with us right from the time when jesus was baptizing until the day when
03:33he was taken up from us and he can act with us as a witness to his resurrection having nominated
03:41two
03:41candidates joseph known as barsabas whose surname was justice and matthias they prayed lord you can read
03:51everyone's heart show us therefore which of these two you have chosen to take over this ministry and
03:58apostolate which judas abandoned to go to his proper place they then drew lots for them and as the lot

11:20for this is the chalice of my blood,
11:23the blood of the new and eternal covenant,
11:26which will be poured out for you and for many

12:00The mystery of faith.
12:03Save us, Savior of the world,
12:05for by your cross and resurrection,
12:08you have set us free.
12:10Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial
12:12of his death and resurrection,
12:14we offer you, Lord, the bread of life
12:16and the chalice of salvation,
12:18giving thanks that you have held us worthy
12:20to be in your presence and minister to you.

12:25that partaking of the body and blood of Christ,
12:28we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
12:32Remember, Lord, your church spread throughout the world
12:35and bring her to the fullness of charity,
12:37together with Leo our Pope and Charles our Bishop
12:40and all the clergy.
12:42Remember also our brothers and sisters
12:44who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection
12:47and all who have died in your mercy.
12:50Welcome them into the light of your face.
12:53Have mercy on us all, we pray,
12:55that with the blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
12:58we blessed Joseph, her spouse,
12:59with the blessed apostles,
13:01and all the saints who have pleased you
13:03throughout the ages,
13:05we may marry to be coheirs to eternal life
13:07and may praise and glorify you
13:09through your Son, Jesus Christ.
13:14Through him and with him and in him,
13:17O God, almighty Father,
13:19in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
13:21all glory and honor is yours
13:24forever and ever.

13:43thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
13:46Give us this day our daily bread
13:48and forgive us our trespasses,
13:51as we forgive those who trespass against us.
13:54And lead us not into temptation,
13:57but deliver us from evil.
13:59Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil.
14:02Graciously grant peace in our days,
14:04that by the help of your mercy
14:06we may be always free from sin
14:08and safe from all distress.
14:10As we await the blessed hope
14:13and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
14:15For the kingdom, the power, and the glory
14:18are yours, now and forever.
14:21Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles,
14:23Peace I leave you, my peace I give you.
14:26Look not on our sins,
14:27but on the faith of your church.
14:29And graciously grant her peace and unity
14:31in accordance with your will,
14:33who live and reign forever and ever.
14:35Amen.

15:31Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
15:36Blessed are those called to the Supper of the Lamb.
15:40Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word, and my soul
15:47shall be healed.
15:50My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament.
15:55I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
16:00Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, commonly spiritually, into my heart,
16:06I embrace you as if you were already there, and unite myself wholly to you.
16:11Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
16:17Let us pray.
16:19Never cease, O Lord, we pray, to fill your family with divine gifts, and through blessed Matthias' intercession for us,
16:28graciously admit us to a share in the lot of the saints in light.
16:33Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
