00:13In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, peace be with you.
00:19My dear sisters and brothers, as we gather, we acknowledge our sins,
00:23we acknowledge the compassion, the mercy, and the love of our God.
00:29You died for us on the cross, Lord, have mercy.
00:32You rose again from the dead, Christ, have mercy.
00:35And you call us to be your light of hope, Lord, have mercy.
00:40May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and lead us into healing and life everlasting.
00:47Let us pray.
00:49O God, whose providence never fails in its design,
00:53Keep from us, we humbly beseech you, all that might harm us,
00:57and grant all that works for our good,
01:00through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you,
01:04and the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
01:08Amen.
01:10A reading from the second letter of St. Peter
01:14You should be living holy and saintly lives
01:16while you wait and long for the day of God to come,
01:20when the sky will dissolve in flames and the elements melt in the heat.
01:26What we are waiting for is what he promised,
01:30the new heavens and new earth,
01:32the place where righteousness will be at home.
01:36So then, my friends, while you are waiting,
01:40do your best to live lives without spot or stain,
01:43so that he will find you at peace.
01:46Think of our Lord's patience as your opportunity to be saved.
01:51You have been warned about this, my friends.
01:55Be careful not to get carried away
01:57by the errors of unprincipled people
02:00from the firm ground that you are standing on.
02:04Instead, go on growing in the grace
02:07and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
02:12To him be glory in time and in eternity.
02:15Amen.
02:17The word of the Lord.
02:19Thanks be to God.
02:21In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
02:24In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
02:28Before the mountains were born
02:30or the earth or the world brought forth,
02:32you are God without beginning or end.
02:35In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
02:39You turn men back to dust and say,
02:42Go back, children of men.
02:43To your eyes, a thousand years are like yesterday,
02:47come and gone, no more than a watch in the night.
02:50In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
02:53Our span is seventy years, or eighty for those who are strong,
02:58and most of these are emptiness and pain.
03:00They pass fifty and we are gone.
03:03In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
03:07In the morning, fill us with your love.
03:09We shall exalt and rejoice all our days.
03:12Show forth your work to your servants.
03:15Let your glory shine on the children.
03:18In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
03:22Alleluia, alleluia.
03:24May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
03:26enlighten the eyes of our heart
03:28that we might see how great is the hope
03:31to which we are called.
03:32Alleluia.
03:35The Lord be with you.
03:37A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark.
03:40Glory to you, O Lord.
03:43The chief priests and the scribes and the elders
03:45sent to Jesus some Pharisees and some Herodians
03:51to catch him out in what he said.
03:53They came and said to him,
03:56Master, we know you are an honest man,
03:58that you are afraid, not afraid of anyone,
04:02because a man's rank means nothing to you,
04:05and that you teach the way of God in all honesty.
04:08Is it permissible to pay taxes to Caesar or not?
04:12Should we pay, yes or no?
04:15Seeing to their hypocrisy, he said to them,
04:18Why do you set this trap for me?
04:21Hand me a denarius and let me see it.
04:23They handed him one and he said,
04:26Whose head is this, whose name?
04:28Caesar's, they told him.
04:30Jesus said to them,
04:32Give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
04:34and to God what belongs to God.
04:37This reply took them completely by surprise.
04:41The Gospel of the Lord.
04:44Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
04:53St. Peter tells the people of his time,
04:58and he says to us,
04:59Go on growing in the grace
05:01and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
05:04So our journey is one of growth,
05:07one of commitment,
05:10one of fresh starts,
05:11one of renewal.
05:13So we call to reflect
05:15and with the grace of God to act
05:17on what we need to do
05:19to be faithful servants of Jesus.
05:26Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation.
05:29For to your goodness we have this bread to offer,
05:31which earth has given human hands and made.
05:33It will become for us the bread of life.
05:36Blessed be God forever.
05:58Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation.
06:01For to your goodness we have this wine to offer,
06:04fruit of divine work of human hands.
06:06It will become a spiritual drink.
06:09Blessed be God forever.
06:22Let us pray, brothers and sisters,
06:24that my sacrifice and yours
06:25may be acceptable to God,
06:27our Almighty Father.
06:29May the Lord accept the sacrifice at our hands
06:31for the praise and glory of God's name
06:33for our good
06:34and the good of God's Holy Church.
06:37Trusting in your compassion, O Lord,
06:40we come eagerly with our offering
06:41to your sacred altar
06:43that, through the purifying action of your grace,
06:47we may be cleansed by the very mysteries we serve.
06:50Through Christ our Lord.
06:52Amen.
06:53The Lord be with you.
06:56Lift up your hearts.
06:58Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
07:01It is truly right and just,
07:03our duty and our salvation,
07:04always and everywhere,
07:05to give you thanks,
07:07Father, most holy,
07:08to your beloved Son,
07:09Jesus Christ,
07:10your work,
07:11for whom you made all things,
07:12whom you sent as our Savior and Redeemer,
07:15incarnate by the Holy Spirit
07:16and born of the Virgin.
07:18Fulfilling your will
07:19and gaining for you a holy people,
07:21he stretched out his hands
07:23as he endued his passion,
07:24so as to break the bonds of death
07:26and manifest a resurrection.
07:28And so,
07:29with the angels and all the saints,
07:30we declare your glory,
07:32as with one voice,
07:33we acclaim,
07:34Holy,
07:35Holy,
07:36Holy Lord,
07:36God of hosts,
07:38heaven and earth are full of your glory,
07:40Hosanna in the highest.
07:42Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,
07:45Hosanna in the highest.
07:48You are indeed holy,
07:49O Lord,
07:50the fount of all holiness.
07:52Make holy,
07:52therefore,
07:53these gifts,
07:53we pray,
07:54by sending down your Spirit upon them
07:56like the dewfall,
07:57so that they may become for us
07:59the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
08:02At the time he was betrayed,
08:04and entered willingly into his passion,
08:07he took bread,
08:07and giving thanks,
08:09broke it,
08:09and gave it to his disciples,
08:11saying,
08:12Take this, all of you,
08:13and eat of it,
08:14for this is my body,
08:16which will be given up for you.
08:23In a similar way,
08:25when supper was ended,
08:26he took the chalice,
08:28and once more giving thanks,
08:30he gave it to his disciples,
08:32saying,
08:32Take this, all of you,
08:34and drink from it,
08:35for this is the chalice of my blood,
08:37the blood of the new and eternal covenant,
08:40which will be poured out for you,
08:43and for many,
08:44for the forgiveness of sins.
08:47Do this in memory of me.
08:56The mystery of faith,
08:58when we eat this bread,
09:00and drink this cup,
09:01we proclaim your death,
09:03O Lord,
09:03until you come again.
09:05Therefore,
09:06as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection,
09:09we offer you, Lord,
09:10the bread of life,
09:11and the chalice of salvation,
09:13giving thanks that you've held us worthy
09:15to be in your presence and minister to you.
09:18Humbly we pray,
09:20that partaking of the body and blood of Christ,
09:23we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
09:26Remember, Lord,
09:27your church spread throughout the world,
09:29and bring her to the fullness of charity,
09:31together with Leo,
09:33our Pope,
09:34me,
09:34your unworthy servant,
09:35and all the clergy.
09:37Remember also,
09:38our brothers and sisters,
09:40who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection,
09:43and all who have died in your mercy.
09:45Welcome them into the light of your face.
09:48Have mercy on us all,
09:50we pray,
09:51that with the blessed Virgin Mary,
09:53Mother of God,
09:54blessed Joseph,
09:55her spouse,
09:56with the blessed apostles,
09:57and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages,
10:01we may merit to be coerced to eternal life,
10:04and may praise and glorify you,
10:06through your Son,
10:07Jesus Christ.
10:12Through him and with him and in him,
10:14O God,
10:15Almighty Father,
10:16in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
10:18all glory and honour is yours,
10:20for ever and ever.
10:21Amen.
10:24At the Saviour's command and formed by divine teaching,
10:27we dare to say,
10:28Our Father,
10:29who art in heaven,
10:31hallowed be thy name,
10:32thy kingdom come,
10:33thy will be done on earth,
10:35as it is in heaven.
10:36Give us this day our daily bread,
10:39and forgive us our trespasses,
10:41as we forgive those who trespass against us,
10:44and lead us not into temptation,
10:47but deliver us from evil.
10:49Derivere us,
10:50Lord,
10:50we pray,
10:50from every evil,
10:51graciously grant peace in our days,
10:53that by the help of your mercy,
10:55we may be always free from sin,
10:57and safe from all distress,
10:59as we await the blessed hope,
11:01and the coming of our Saviour,
11:02Jesus Christ.
11:04For the kingdom,
11:05the power,
11:05and the glory are yours,
11:06now and forever.
11:08Lord Jesus Christ,
11:10who said to your apostles,
11:11Peace I leave you,
11:12my peace I give you,
11:13look not on our sins,
11:15but on the faith of your Church,
11:16and graciously grant her peace and unity,
11:18in accordance with your will,
11:20who live and reign forever and ever.
11:23Amen.
11:24The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
11:26be with you always.
11:27Let us offer each other a sign of peace.
11:30Peace be with you.
11:32Lamb of God,
11:34you take away the sins of the world.
11:36Have mercy on us.
11:38Lamb of God,
11:39you take away the sins of the world.
11:41Have mercy on us.
11:43Lamb of God,
11:44you take away the sins of the world.
11:46Grant us peace.
12:02Behold the Lamb of God,
12:03who takes away the sins of the world.
12:05Happy are those who are called to the Supper of the Lamb.
12:08Lord,
12:09I am not worried you should enter under my roof,
12:11but only say the word,
12:13and my soul shall be healed.
12:15My Jesus,
12:17I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament.
12:20I love you above all things,
12:22and I desire to receive you into my soul.
12:25Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
12:29comely, spiritually, into my heart,
12:31I embrace you as if you were already there,
12:33and unite myself wholly to you.
12:36Never permit me to be separated from you.
12:40Amen.
12:42Let us pray.
12:53Governed by your spirit,
12:56we pray,
12:56O Lord,
12:57those who you freed,
12:59with the body and blood of your Son,
13:01that professing you,
13:03not just in word and in speech,
13:05but also in works and in truth,
13:07we may, for your grace,
13:09merit to enter the kingdom of heaven,
13:11through Christ our Lord.
13:12Amen.
13:13The Lord be with you.
13:15And may the peace and the blessing of the Father,
13:17and of the Son,
13:18and of the Holy Spirit come upon you,
13:20and remain always with you.
13:22Let us go and proclaim the gospel by our lives.
13:26Thanks be to God.
13:27God bless your day.
13:28Amen.
13:30Amen.
