00:14:08Again, good morning my dear brothers and sisters, and welcome again on this seventh Sunday of Easter
00:14:14as we approach the coming of Pentecost, our commemoration of the Holy Spirit's descent upon the Holy Church.
00:14:23We prepare ourselves to have a new vision, a new way of seeing things that comes to us through the
00:14:32grace of our Lord and Savior.
00:14:33So as we prepare for this new vision, we join together in worship.
00:14:38Today's Holy Mass is offered for Reverend Marian and Severina Gojeva, that is Michelle Zavostovsky's parents,
00:14:47and we offer this Holy Mass in their memory, the memory of your servant Marian and your servant Severina.
00:14:55Today's Holy Mass and the contemporary rite found in your program pamphlet.
00:15:00In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
00:15:03Amen.
00:15:04Lord, bless us with the wisdom to praise you in spirit and in truth,
00:15:08so that by following your holy will we may gain eternal salvation.
00:15:13My dear brothers and sisters, let's now pause, confess our sins to God,
00:15:18and prepare ourselves so that we may worthily participate in this holy sacrifice.
00:15:23Please now complete your examination of conscience,
00:15:26confessing your sins privately to God and seeking his forgiveness.
00:15:31Amen.
00:15:48I recall their sinfulness and seeking reconciliation with God and each other.
00:15:53Let's now recite the second form of the confidure found in your Mass Aid book.
00:16:01As our confession,
00:16:02I confess to Almighty God in the presence of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
00:16:08all the saints, and you, my brothers and sisters,
00:16:11that I have sinned through my own fault in my thoughts, in my words,
00:16:17in what I have done or failed to do,
00:16:19I ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, all the saints,
00:16:23and you, my brothers and sisters,
00:16:25to pray for me to the Lord our God.
00:16:28As an act of penance for our sinfulness,
00:16:31in addition to our duty to pray in anticipation of the coming of Pentecost,
00:16:37let's ensure that we offer that prayer every evening in the week ahead
00:16:42for our parish and for our Holy Spirit,
00:16:45for our parish and our entire Holy Church,
00:16:49that the Holy Spirit may bless us abundantly,
00:16:54especially in this synod year.
00:16:56May Almighty God have mercy on us,
00:16:58forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.
00:17:02May our Lord Jesus Christ absolve you,
00:17:04and with his authority vested in me,
00:17:05I absolve you from all your sins.
00:17:07In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
00:17:09and of the Holy Spirit.
00:17:17Commit your way to the Lord.
00:17:19Trust that God will act,
00:17:21and make your integrity shine like the dawn,
00:17:24your vindication like noonday.
00:17:27Alleluia.
00:17:28I wait with longing for the Lord.
00:17:32My soul waits for his word.
00:17:34Alleluia.
00:17:35Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
00:17:37and to the Holy Spirit.
00:17:39Come with us,
00:17:40the beginning is now,
00:17:41and I shall be,
00:17:42for all the life and life.
00:18:09Let us now rise and give glory to God.
00:18:13Glory to God in the highest.
00:18:19Christ.
00:18:19For peace,
00:18:19to speak of the Lord.
00:18:20Lord,

00:19:19and by angel hands be gathered,
00:19:24every ever Lord with thee.

00:19:33And also with you.
00:19:37Let us pray.
00:19:41God our Father,
00:19:43at His ascension,
00:19:44Your Son promised to send us the Holy Spirit.
00:19:48Fill us with Your power from on high,
00:19:51so that through Your Holy Church,
00:19:53we may be Your witnesses in all the world.

00:20:00who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,

00:20:32Let's now be seated and attentive to the Lord's Word.
00:20:42A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
00:20:46After Jesus had been taken up to heaven,
00:20:49the apostles returned to Jerusalem
00:20:52from the mount called Olivet,
00:20:55which is near Jerusalem,
00:20:58a Sabbath day journey away.
00:21:00When they entered the city,
00:21:04they went to the upper room
00:21:07where they were staying,
00:21:09Peter and John
00:21:11and James and Andrew,
00:21:14Philip and Thomas,
00:21:17Bartholomew and Matthew,
00:21:20James, son of Alphaeus,
00:21:23Simon the Zealot,
00:21:24and Judas, the son of James.
00:21:29All these devoted themselves
00:21:31with one accord to pray,
00:21:34together with some women,
00:21:36and Mary,
00:21:37the mother of Jesus,
00:21:39and his brothers.
00:21:41The Word of the Lord.
00:21:43Thanks be to God.
00:21:48Our responsorial psalm today is,
00:21:51I believe that I shall see
00:21:54the good things of the Lord
00:21:55in the land of the living.
00:21:58I believe that I shall see
00:22:00the good things of the Lord
00:22:02in the land of the living.
00:22:04The Lord is my light
00:22:06and my salvation.
00:22:08Whom should I fear?
00:22:10The Lord is my life's refuge.
00:22:13Of whom should I be afraid?
00:22:16I believe that I shall see
00:22:18the good things of the Lord
00:22:20in the land of the living.
00:22:24One thing I ask of the Lord,
00:22:26this I seek,
00:22:28to dwell in the house of the Lord
00:22:31all the days of my life,
00:22:34that I may gaze
00:22:35on the loveliness of the Lord
00:22:37and contemplate his temple.
00:22:42I believe that I shall see
00:22:44the good things of the Lord
00:22:45in the land of the living.
00:22:47Hear, O Lord,
00:22:50the sound of my call.
00:22:52Have pity on me
00:22:53and answer me.
00:22:56Of you my heart speaks,
00:22:59you my glance seeks.
00:23:02I believe that I shall see
00:23:04the good things of the Lord
00:23:06in the land of the living.
00:23:08A reading from the first letter
00:23:10of St. Peter.
00:23:12Beloved,
00:23:14rejoice to the extent
00:23:15that you shall share
00:23:17in the sufferings of Christ
00:23:20so that when his glory
00:23:22is revealed,
00:23:23you may also rejoice
00:23:25exultantly.
00:23:27If you are insulted
00:23:29for the name of Christ,
00:23:32blessed are you
00:23:33for the spirit of glory
00:23:35and of God
00:23:37rest upon you.
00:23:39But let no one among you
00:23:41be made to suffer
00:23:44as a murderer,
00:23:46a thief,
00:23:47an evildoer,
00:23:49or as an intriguer.
00:23:51But whoever is made to suffer
00:23:53as a Christian
00:23:55should not be ashamed.
00:23:57But glorify God
00:23:59because of the name.
00:24:01The word of the Lord.
00:24:03Thanks be to God.
00:24:05the word of the Lord.
00:24:23Please, man.
00:24:28Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
00:24:45Turn from evil and do good, that you may inherit the land forever.
00:24:50For the Lord loves justice, it does not abandon the faithful.
00:24:59Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
00:25:20The Lord be with you.
00:25:22And also with you.
00:25:23A reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. John.
00:25:27Glory be to you, O Lord.
00:25:28Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said,
00:25:32Father, the hour has come.
00:25:35Give glory to your Son, so that your Son may glorify you,
00:25:39just as you gave him authority over all people,
00:25:42so that your Son may give eternal life to all you gave him.
00:25:47Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God,
00:25:53and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
00:25:55I glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do.
00:26:01Now glorify me, Father, with you, with the glory that I had with you before the world began.
00:26:08I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world.
00:26:12They belong to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
00:26:17Now they know that everything you gave me is from you,
00:26:21because the words you gave to me I have given to them.
00:26:25And they accepted them, and truly understood that I came from you,
00:26:29and they have believed that you sent me.
00:26:32I pray for them.
00:26:34I do not pray for the whole of the world, but for the ones you have given me,
00:26:39because they are yours, and everything of mine is yours,
00:26:42and everything of yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them.
00:26:47And now I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world,
00:26:52while I am coming to you.
00:26:54This is the gospel of the Lord.
00:26:57This is the gospel of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
00:27:02Amen.
00:27:12Come, thou create, your spirit blessed,
00:27:19and in our souls take up thy dress.
00:27:25Come with thy grace and heavenly aid to fill the hearts which thou hast made.
00:27:37Come with thy grace and heavenly aid to fill the hearts which thou hast made.
00:27:48Great charity to thee we cry, O highest gift of God will sigh.
00:28:00O living blood, O fire, O love, and seek anointing from above.
00:28:11Open the heart, O light of all, and seek anointing from above.
00:28:39I revealed your name to those you gave me out of the world.
00:28:45They belong to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
00:28:52In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
00:28:56Christ is risen. Alleluia.
00:28:59Christ is risen. Alleluia.
00:29:02Very good. Excellent.
00:29:04We got it down.
00:29:05Seven weeks we got it down.
00:29:07That's wonderful.
00:29:08So, last week, we discussed the change that was needed in our way of viewing things.
00:29:17The way we look at things.
00:29:20Our limited human view needed transformation.
00:29:25And indeed, it has been transformed by our faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
00:29:33We now have, as Christians, a kingdom view that goes far beyond human limits.
00:29:43We have a view that is informed by faith and molded by the words that Jesus spoke to us
00:29:51as he prays today in the gospel for his apostles and disciples.
00:29:57So, he prays for us that we are molded by those words he spoke to us.
00:30:05Little aside, that's why picking up your Bible at home is so very important.
00:30:12Because the more we read scripture, the more we delve into God's word, the better informed we become.
00:30:20The more we study, the more we consider God's words to us, Jesus' very proclamations to us,
00:30:30the more in tune we are with Jesus, the better prepared we are to tell others about what Jesus has
00:30:39done for us.
00:30:41Our view continues to be informed by Jesus' Last Supper discourse,
00:30:47which we read from again today.
00:30:51He speaks of us as being chosen, not just by him, but chosen actually by the Father himself.
00:31:02They belonged to you, you gave them to me.
00:31:08How awesome is that?
00:31:12That from the beginning of time, we were chosen.
00:31:17We belong to the Father.
00:31:20And the Father has handed us over to his son, Jesus.
00:31:25We may think we just happen to wander in here.
00:31:29You know, somebody comes as a visitor.
00:31:30Oh, nice church you got here.
00:31:32It's a wonderful place.
00:31:34Friendly people.
00:31:35It's good.
00:31:37Or, we came out of habit, right?
00:31:40We get into a regular routine of our lives and we show up here on Sunday.
00:31:48Or, we've been here in this very special family of faith because it's our legacy.
00:31:55It's what's been handed down to us by our parents, our grandparents, our great-grandparents,
00:32:02and all those that came before us.
00:32:04All that's true.
00:32:07All that is true.
00:32:08But more important is the fact that each of us was chosen.
00:32:13We were chosen by the Father to belong to him.
00:32:18We were picked out.
00:32:21I was the kid.
00:32:23As you know, I'm clumsy, right?
00:32:26Nobody wanted me on their team, right?
00:32:30I was always the last one that got picked, right?
00:32:32Like, ah, take Nicky.
00:32:35All right.
00:32:36They had to settle for me.
00:32:39But it's not like that with God.
00:32:41God has chosen us all first.
00:32:44We're all his first choice.
00:32:47It's like the NFL draft, the NBA draft.
00:32:50We were the top pick of our Heavenly Father.
00:32:55To belong to his son.
00:32:58To be part of this family of faith.
00:33:02That changes our human view, doesn't it?
00:33:06St. Peter, in his epistle, reminds us that we will face suffering.
00:33:12It's a little bit of a disconnect.
00:33:14We're going to say, well, God chose us.
00:33:16Why do we have to suffer?
00:33:17Well, that's part of the human condition.
00:33:19We will face suffering.
00:33:22And Peter's being very honest with us.
00:33:25But again, he's saying that our view of that suffering must be different.
00:33:31In suffering, we are joined to Christ Jesus.
00:33:35And to his suffering.
00:33:38And we're asked to see beyond the suffering of the moment.
00:33:42To the glory we will share in what is to come.
00:33:47That's the reward.
00:33:49That's the promise.
00:33:52We will share in how our suffering acts as a witness to Jesus Christ.
00:33:58And the changed view we have will be made real in our day-to-day lives.
00:34:06Indeed, in every moment, our changed view sees forward.
00:34:10We're not looking behind us.
00:34:13We look forward.
00:34:15It's repeated over and over in scripture.
00:34:18We look forward to the promise.
00:34:21We look forward to the kingdom.
00:34:23We look forward to Jesus' return.
00:34:26We look forward to everlasting life.
00:34:31We see ourselves as part of the great unfolding of the plan of salvation.
00:34:39In these days, between Ascension and Pentecost, we are asked to pray.
00:34:46And to recognize that the very same prayer of the apostles as they return to that upper room.
00:34:53The apostles with the apostles with the women, the brothers of Jesus and the blessed virgin.
00:34:59That very same prayer of the apostles reinforced their new view of things.
00:35:07It blessed them as they looked forward with focus on Jesus' words, his teachings, and his example, his deeds.
00:35:19And that looking forward and that prayer strengthened them for the witness that they would bear in the world.
00:35:28A witness they would bear in all time.
00:35:33So may it be for us.
00:35:37In our own new view.
00:35:40Our new kingdom view.
00:35:42Our new study of God's word.
00:35:46Our new prayer to the Holy Spirit.
00:35:50And our witness among all we encounter.
00:35:54In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
00:35:57Amen.
00:36:07Let us now rise and together profess our faith.
00:36:11I believe in one God, the Father, and the Almighty.
00:36:15The name of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.
00:36:19I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God.
00:36:24He turned the God of the Father, God from God, life from life, true God, true God.
00:36:30He got not made, the one being with the Father.
00:36:34Through Him all things were made.
00:36:36For us and for our salvation, He came down from heaven.
00:36:40By the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary and became the Mary.
00:36:47For our sake, He was crucified and come to the Pilate.
00:36:51He suffered death and was buried.
00:36:53On the third day, He rose again.
00:36:55In fulfillment of the Scriptures, He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
00:37:02He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead.
00:37:05And His kingdom will have no end.
00:37:07I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, and the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, with the
00:37:14Father, and the Son.
00:37:15He is worshiping the Lord, and He has spoken through our prophets.
00:37:19I believe in one holy Catholic Catholic Church.
00:37:23I have now as one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
00:37:26I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world.
00:37:30Amen.
00:37:33The Lord be with you.
00:37:35Amen.
00:37:36Let us pray.
00:37:37Called by the Father and dedicated in Christ Jesus, let us bring our prayers before the Spirit.
00:37:44Our response to our petitions, we, Lord, hear our prayer.
00:37:48For our crime bishop and Bishop Anthony, for all the church's bishops, priests, deacons, and other ministers,

00:38:21May Jesus, who is the glory of His Father, hear our prayer and consecrate more men to Himself as priests
00:38:28and deacons within our church.
00:38:30We pray to the Lord.
00:38:32Lord, hear our prayer.

00:39:29And for all personal needs and intentions, mention in the silence of our hearts.
00:40:01We pray to the Lord.
00:40:03Lord, hear our prayer.

00:42:35Amen.

00:42:48Confirm our hope and enliven our love.

00:43:37We do always and ever work to give you thanks.

00:43:46Especially at this time, when he became our Paschal sacrifice.

00:46:35And let it become for us
00:46:37The body and the blood of your Son
00:46:39Our Lord Jesus Christ
00:46:41The day before He suffered and died
00:46:44Our Lord desired to make His love known
00:46:46To His disciples and all who would follow Him
00:46:49He therefore instituted these sacred mysteries
00:46:52By which He joined Himself with them
00:46:54Spiritually and bodily in His whole being
00:46:57And abides with us forever
00:46:59At that moment, so sacred for all of humanity
00:47:03Jesus took bread into His holy hands
00:47:06And looking up to heaven, to you
00:47:10His Almighty Father
00:47:12He gave you thanks
00:47:14He blessed the bread
00:47:16Broke it
00:47:17And gave it to His disciples saying
00:47:20Take this, all of you, and eat it
00:47:23For this is my body
00:47:25For this is my body
00:47:25Which is given for you
00:47:42When supper had ended, He took the cup
00:47:45In the same way He gave you thanks
00:47:48Blessed it
00:47:49And gave it to His disciples saying
00:47:52Take this, all of you, and drink from it
00:47:55For this is the cup of my blood
00:47:57The blood of the new and everlasting covenant
00:48:00Which shall be shed for you and for many
00:48:02For the forgiveness of sins
00:48:04As often as you do this
00:48:06Do it in remembrance of me
00:48:21Father, in celebration of the memory of Jesus Christ, Your Son
00:48:24We are people who call us passion
00:48:26Resurrection from the dead
00:48:28And ascension into glory
00:48:30From the many gifts You have given us
00:48:32We offer You this pure, holy, and spotless offering
00:48:35The holy bread of life
00:48:36And the holy cup of eternal salvation
00:48:38Look favorably on these offerings
00:48:40And accept them as you once accepted
00:48:42The gifts of Your servant Abel
00:48:44The sacrifice of our Father
00:48:45In faith, Abraham
00:48:46And the bread and wine
00:48:48Offered by Your priest, Melchizedek
00:48:50In humility, we ask, Father
00:48:52That these offerings be carried by Your angel
00:48:54To Your high altar in heaven
00:48:56So that we, who receive the sacred body
00:48:58And blood of Your Son from this altar
00:49:00May be filled with Your grace
00:49:02And blessing
00:49:04Remember, Lord
00:49:05Our brothers and sisters
00:49:06Who have died
00:49:07And have gone before us
00:49:08Marked with a sign of pain
00:49:10And in particular this day
00:49:11We remember
00:49:12Reverend Mariana Severina Pugela
00:49:18May these and all who rest in Christ
00:49:20Find happiness, life, and peace
00:49:22That we who trust in Your love
00:49:24Also ask me to include
00:49:26The fellowship of Your holy apostles
00:49:27Martyrs and saints
00:49:29Who offered their lives to You
00:49:30They were filled with Your justice
00:49:32And mercy
00:49:33Because they lived in accord
00:49:34With the teachings of Jesus
00:49:36Gained eternal joy
00:49:37Countless mother and father
00:49:39Not because of what we truly deserve
00:49:41But because You are willing
00:49:42To forgive us
00:49:43We ask this in the name of Your Son
00:49:45Jesus Christ
00:49:46By whom You give us all these gifts
00:49:48You fill them with life and goodness
00:49:50You bless them
00:49:51And make them holy
00:49:56Through Him
00:49:57With Him and in Him
00:49:59In the unity of the Holy Spirit
00:50:02All honor and glory
00:50:03Yours, almighty Father
00:50:05Forever and ever
00:50:10Amen
00:50:16Let us pray with confidence
00:50:18To the Father
00:50:19In the words our Savior gave us
00:50:23Our Father
00:50:25Who art in heaven
00:50:29Hallowed be thy name
00:50:33Thy kingdom come
00:50:37Thy will be done
00:50:41Thy will be done
00:50:42On earth
00:50:44As it is in heaven
00:50:48Give us this day
00:50:52Our daily bread
00:50:55And forgive us
00:50:58Our trespasses
00:51:01As we forgive those
00:51:04Who trespass against us
00:51:08And lead us not
00:51:11Into temptation
00:51:13But deliver us from evil
00:51:20Deliver us, Lord, from every evil
00:51:22And grant us peace in our day
00:51:24In Your mercy keep us free from sin
00:51:27And protect us from all anxiety
00:51:30As we wait in joyful hope
00:51:33For the coming of our Savior
00:51:35Jesus Christ
00:51:36For the kingdom, the power, and the glory
00:51:41Are Yours
00:51:43Now and forever
00:51:47The couple blessing
00:51:49Which we bless
00:51:50Is it not a participation
00:51:52In the blood of Christ?
00:51:54The bread?
00:51:56Which we break
00:51:58Is it not a participation
00:52:00In the body of Christ?
00:52:02Because there is one bread
00:52:04We who are many
00:52:05Are one body
00:52:06For we all are
00:52:08One bread
00:52:09May the union of divinity
00:52:11And humanity
00:52:11In Jesus Christ
00:52:12Bring us sanctification
00:52:14And eternal life
00:52:16Amen
00:52:17Lord Jesus Christ
00:52:18You said to your apostles
00:52:20I leave you peace
00:52:21My peace I give you
00:52:22Do not look at our sins
00:52:24That are the faith
00:52:25In your church
00:52:25And grant us the peace
00:52:27And unity of your kingdom
00:52:28Where you live forever and ever
00:52:31Amen
00:52:31The peace of the Lord
00:52:33Be with you always
00:52:34And also
00:52:35Let us offer each other
00:52:36A sign of Christ's peace
00:52:59A sign of the world
00:53:05At mercy of the Lord
00:53:08The Lamb of God you take away, the saints of the world have mercy on us.
00:53:24The Lamb of God you take away, the saints of the world have mercy on us.
00:53:38Let's now kneel and pray together the communion prayers indicated in your worship day.
00:53:44Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, by the will of the Father, in the work of the Holy
00:53:51Spirit,
00:53:52your God, by the life of the world, by your holy body and blood,
00:53:56free me from all my sins and from every evil, keeping faithful to your teaching,
00:54:02and never let me depart from you.
00:54:10I will take the bread of heaven and call upon the name of the Lord.
00:54:16Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, for I am not to say a word, and I shall be
00:54:21healed.
00:54:49Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, for I am not worthy to receive you, for I am not
00:54:52worthy to receive you,
00:55:20my dear brothers and sisters, let us now join with all of us from this virtually today
00:55:24in a prayer of spiritual communion.
00:55:28Most loving Jesus, I adore you in the most blessed sacrament in which you are truly present.
00:55:34I love you above all things, and I long for you in my soul.
00:55:38Since I do not receive you sacramentally, I ask you to come spiritually into my heart and heal my soul.
00:55:46I embrace you, and you make myself with you.
00:55:49May I never be separated from you, and play my part with the choir of your Lord, my Lord and
00:55:55Savior. Amen.
00:56:03This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
00:56:07How dare those who are called to the table of the Lord.
00:56:27What do you mean by your heart?
01:01:11And now, Lord, what future do I have?
01:01:15You are my only hope.
01:01:17Alleluia.
01:01:18The Lord be with you.
01:01:21And also with you.
01:01:25Let us pray.
01:01:55Heavenly Father,
01:01:56Amen.
01:01:57May the Almighty God bless you, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
01:02:02Amen.
