00:14the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit the Lord be with you my dear brothers and
00:22sisters
00:22welcome to us today we celebrate the solemnity of two important people in the history of the church
00:30and these are Saints Peter and Paul we know the historical background of each one of them
00:38just in short Peter with that strong faith who really loved Jesus and who once was shaken because
00:48of that human weakness to deny Jesus but not really from his heart but just because of human
00:54fear who later corrected his mistake when Jesus asked him three times whether he loved him or not
01:02and Peter acknowledged that he loved he loved Jesus and Paul he began his life was an opponent or
01:11an enemy of the Word of God but later Jesus knew what was the treasure hidden in Paul and he
01:18called
01:18him Paul was converted but both of them in their mission they experienced so many difficulties
01:25because of the the opposition or hatred against hatred against the church this gives the picture
01:35of how life of following Christ is life life with the church the challenge is never stopped the
01:43hatred never stopped the difficulties in following Christ never stopped from last time things continue
01:50the church continues to suffer but from this great man we learn that Jesus is always with anyone who
01:58believe who will trust him and for sure Jesus who promised to be with the church he will be with
02:03us
02:03and nothing will shake the faith of Jesus or the faith of the church as we are prepared to offer

04:02a reading from the acts of the apostles king herod started persecuting certain members of the church
04:12he beheaded james the brother of john and when he saw that this pleased the jews
04:18he decided to arrest peter as well this was during the days of unleavened bread and he put peter in
04:26prison

04:37after the end of passover week all the time peter was under god the church prayed to to god for
04:45his
04:47unremittingly unremittingly unremittingly on the night before herod was to try peter peter was sleeping
04:53between two soldiers fastened with double chains while guards kept watch at the main entrance to the
05:01prison then suddenly the angel of the lord stood there and the cell was filled with light

05:48leading to the city this opened of its own accord they went through it and had walked the whole length

10:29the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ
10:34the gospel of the rand
11:06Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness, we have received
11:10the bread we offer you, fruit of the earth and wake of human hands, to become for us
11:15the bread of life.
11:17Blessed be God forever.
11:36Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness, we have received
11:40the wine we offer you, fruit of the vine and wake of human hands, to become our spiritual
11:45drink.
11:46Blessed be God forever.
11:48With humble spirit and contrite heart, may we be accepted by you, O Lord, and may our
11:54sacrifice in your sight this day be pleasing to you, Lord God.
12:10May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for
12:21our good and good of all his church.
12:24May the prayer of the apostles, O Lord, accompany the sacrificial gift that we present to your
12:30name, for consecration, and may their intercession make us devoted to you, in celebration of
12:37the sacrifice, through Christ our Lord.
12:42The Lord be with you.
12:44Lift up your hearts.
12:46Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
12:50It is truly right and just our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere, to give you
12:55thanks, Lord, Holy Father, Almighty and Eternal God.
12:59For by your providence, the blessed apostles Peter and Paul bring us joy, Peter foremost in
13:07confessing the faith, Paul, its outstanding preacher, Peter, who established the early
13:13church from the remnant of Israel, Paul, master and teacher of the Gentiles that you
13:20call, and saw each in a different way, gathered together the one family of Christ, and revered
13:28together throughout the world, they share one martyr's crown.
13:33And therefore, with all the angels and saints, we praise you as without end, we acclaim.
13:40Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of hosts, heaven and earth are full of your glory, Hosanna in the
13:48highest.
13:49Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.
13:56You are indeed holy, O Lord, the fount of our holiness.
14:00Make holy therefore these gifts, we pray, by sending down your spirit upon them like the
14:04dewfall, so that they may become for us, the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
14:11At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly to his passion, he took bread and
14:16giving thanks, broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying,
14:20Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my body which will be given up for
14:26you.
14:35In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice and once more giving thanks,
14:40he gave it to his disciples, saying,
14:43Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this is the chalice of my blood,
14:48the blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many
14:53for the forgiveness of sins.
14:55Do this in memory of me.
15:07The mystery of faith.
15:10When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, O Lord, until you come again.
15:17Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection,
15:22we offer you, Lord, the bread of life and the chalice of salvation,
15:26giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and to minister to you.
15:32Humbly, we pray that, protecting of the body and blood of Christ,
15:38we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
15:42Remember, Lord, your church, spread it throughout the world
15:45and bring it to the fullness of charity,
15:49together with Pope Charles Gautier Bishop,
15:53Eugene Bishop Emeritus and all the clergy.
15:57Remember, also, our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection
16:03and all who have died in a mercy,
16:06welcome them into the light of your face.
16:10Have mercy on us, all we pray,
16:12that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
16:15St. Joseph her spouse, with the Blessed Apostles,
16:18and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages,
16:22we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life
16:25and may praise and glory for you
16:27through your Son, Jesus Christ.
16:34Through him and with him and in him, O God Almighty, Father,
16:37in the unit of the Holy Spirit,
16:39all glory and honor is yours forever and ever.
16:44At the Saviour's command, formed by divine teaching,
16:48we dare to say,
16:49Our Father, who art in heaven,
16:53hallowed be thy name,
16:54thy kingdom come,
16:56thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,
16:59give us this day our daily bread
17:01and forgive us our trespasses,
17:03as we forgive those who trespassed against us
17:05and lead us not into temptation,
17:08but deliver us from evil.
17:10Let us, Lord, we pray from every evil,
17:13graciously grant peace in our days,
17:15that by the help of your mercy,
17:17we may be always free from sin
17:20and safe from all distress
17:22as we await the blessed hope
17:24and the coming of our Saviour,
17:26Jesus Christ.
17:28For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
17:31now and forever.
17:34Lord Jesus Christ,
17:36who said to your apostles,
17:38Peace I leave you, my peace I give you,
17:40look not on our sins,
17:42but on the faith of your church,
17:43and graciously grant her peace
17:46and unity in accordance with your will,
17:48who live and reign forever and ever.
17:52The peace of our Lord be with you always.
17:57Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
18:01Peace be with you all.
18:04Lamb of God,
18:05you take away the sins of the world
18:07of mercy on us.
18:09Lamb of God,
18:10you take away the sins of the world
18:12of mercy on us.
18:14Lamb of God,
18:16you take away the sins of the world
18:18grant us peace.
18:37Behold the Lamb of God,
18:39behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
18:43Blessed are those calling to the supper of the Lamb.
18:47Lord,
18:47I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,
18:50but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
18:53May the body and blood of Christ bring us to eternal life.
18:58My Jesus,
19:00I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament.
19:03I love you above all things,
19:05and I desire to receive you into my soul.
19:08Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
19:12commonly,
19:12spiritually,
19:13into my heart,
19:14I embrace you as if you were already there,
19:17and unite myself wholly to you.
19:20Never permit me to be separated from you.
19:23Amen.
19:24Let us pray.
19:29Grant us,
19:30O Lord,
19:30who have been renewed by this sacrament,
19:33so to live in the church,
19:35that persevering in the breaking of the bread,
19:38and in the teaching of the apostles,
19:41we may be one heart and one soul,
19:44made steadfast in your love,
19:46through Christ our Lord.
19:50The Lord be with you.
19:52May the Almighty God bless you,
19:54the Father,
19:55the Son,
19:56and the Holy Spirit.
19:58Let us go in peace,
19:59to love and save the Lord.
20:02Thanks be to God.
20:03Thank you all,
20:04and have a blessed day,
20:05and happy feast of St. Peter,
20:08and Paul.
