HOMILY
THE PROFESSION OF FAITH

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he was born of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified
under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

With the Father and the Son
he is worshipped and glorified,
he has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic
and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism
for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.
Through your goodness we have this bread to offer,

It will become for us the bread of life.
Blessed be God for ever.
Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.
Through your goodness we have this wine to offer,
fruit of the vine and work of human hands.

Blessed be God for ever.

the almighty Father.
May the Lord
accept the sacrifice at your hands
for the praise and glory
of his name, for our good,

It's right to give him thanks and praise.

EUCHARlSTIC PRAYER II

Father, it is our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks
through your beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
He is the Word through whom you made the universe,
the Saviour you sent to redeem us.
By the power of the Holy Spirit he took flesh
and was born of the Virgin Mary.

For our sake he opened his arms on the cross;
he put an end to death
and revealed the resurrection.
In this he fulfilled your will
and won for you a holy people.

And so we join the angels and the saints
in proclaiming your glory as we sing (say):
Holy, holy, holy Lord.
God of power and might.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Lord, you are holy indeed, the fountain of all holiness.
Let your Spirit come upon these gifts to make them holy,
so that they may become for us the body + and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Before he was given up to death, a death he freely accepted,
he took bread and gave you thanks. He broke the bread,
gave it to his disciples, and said:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT IT:
THIS IS MY BODY WHICH
WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
When supper was ended, he took the cup.
Again he gave you thanks and praise,
gave the cup to his disciples, and said:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT;
THIS IS THE CUP OF MY BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND EVERLASTING COVENANT.
IT WILL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR ALL
SO THAT SINS MAY BE FORGIVEN.

DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.

Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.
Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again.
In memory of his death and resurrection,
we offer you, Father, this life-giving bread, this saving cup.
We thank you
for counting us worthy to stand in your presence and serve you.
May all of us who share in the body and blood of Christ
be brought together in unity by the Holy Spirit.
Lord, remember your Church throughout the world;
make us grow in love, together with N. our Pope,
N. our bishop, and all the clergy.
Remember our brothers and sisters
who have gone to their rest in the hope of rising again;
bring them and all the departed into the light of your presence.
Have mercy on us all:
make us worthy to share eternal life, with Mary,
the virgin mother of God, with the apostles,
and with all the saints who have done your will
throughout the ages.
May we praise you in union with them,
and give you glory
through your Son, Jesus Christ.
Through him, with him,
in him,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honour is yours, almighty Father,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

EUCHARlSTIC PRAYER III

Father, you are holy indeed, and all creation
rightly gives you praise.
All life, all holiness
comes from you through your Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord,
by the working of the Holy Spirit.
From age to age you gather
a people to yourself,
so that from east to west

a perfect offering may be made to
the glory of your name.
And so, Father,
we bring you these gifts.
We ask you to make them holy by
the power of your Spirit,
that they may become the body + and blood
of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ.
On the night he was betrayed,
he took bread and gave you thanks and praise.
He broke the bread,
gave it to his disciples, and said:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT IT:
THIS IS MY BODY WHICH
WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
When supper was ended, he took the cup.
Again he gave you thanks and praise,
gave the cup to his disciples, and said:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT;
THIS IS THE CUP OF MY BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND EVERLASTING COVENANT.
IT WILL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR ALL,
SO THAT SINS MAY BE FORGIVEN.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.
Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.
Christ has died, Christ is risen,
Christ will come again.
Father, calling to mind the death your Son endured
for our salvation,
his glorious resurrection and ascension into heaven,
and ready to greet him when he comes again,
we offer you in thanksgiving this holy and living sacrifice.
Look with favour
on your Church's offering,
and see the Victim whose death
has reconciled us to yourself.
Grant that we,
who are nourished by his body and blood,
may be filled with his Holy Spirit,
and become one body,

one spirit in Christ.
May he make us an everlasting gift, to you
and enable us to share in the inheritance of your saints,
with Mary, the virgin Mother of God;
with the apostles, the martyrs,
Saint N. (the saint of the day or the patron saint)
and all your saints,
on whose constant intercession we rely for help.
Lord, may this sacrifice,
which has made our peace with you,
advance the peace and salvation of all the world.
Strengthen in faith and love your pilgrim Church on earth;
your servant, Pope N.,
our bishop N., and all the bishops,
with the clergy and the entire people
your Son has gained for you.
Father, hear the prayers of the family
you have gathered here before you.
In mercy and love unite all your children
wherever they may be.
Welcome into your kingdom
our departed brothers and sisters,
and all who have left this world in your friendship.
We hope to enjoy for ever the vision of your glory,
through Christ our Lord,
from whom all good things come.
Through him,
with him,
in him,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is yours,
almighty Father,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

RITE OF COMMUNION

Let us pray with confidence to the Father
in the words our Saviour gave us:

PATER NOSTER
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Deliver us, Lord, from every evil,
and grant us peace in our day.
In your mercy keep us free from sin
and protect us from all anxiety
as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior,
Jesus Christ.
For the kingdom,
the power, and the glory are yours,
now and forever.
Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles:
"I leave you peace, my peace I give you",
look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church,
and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom
where you live for ever and ever.
Amen.
The Peace of the Lord be with you always.
And also with you.
AGNUS DEI
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
grant us peace.
This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
Happy are those who are called to his supper.
Lord, I am not worthy to receive you,

but only say the word and I shall be healed.
The body of Christ.
Amen.
