THE  ORDER  OF  HOLY  EUCHARIST / HOLY  MASS 

THE  INTRODUCTORY  RITES

Acts of prayer and penitence prepare us to meet Christ as he comes in Word and Sacrament. We gather as a worshipping community to celebrate our unity with him and with one another in faith.

ENTRANCE  CHANT  from the Holy Mass of the day

I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
And, striking their breast, they say:
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters, 
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

May almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins,
and bring us to everlasting life.

Amen.

COLLECT  from the Holy Mass of the day.
The priest invites us to pray silently for a moment and then, in our name, expresses the theme of the day's celebration and petitions God the Father through the mediation of Christ in the Holy Spirit.

At the end of the prayer all acclaim:

Amen.

THE  LITURGY  OF  THE  WORD

The proclamation of God's word is always centred on Christ present through his word. Old Testament writings prepare for him; New Testament books speak of him directly. All of Scripture calls us to believe once more and to follow. After the reading we reflect upon God's words and respond to them.

FIRST  READING  from the Holy Mass of the day
At the end of the Reading:

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

RESPONSORIAL  PSALM  from the Holy Mass of the day

SECOND  READING  when read

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL  ACCLAMATION  from the Holy Mass of the day
Jesus will speak to us in the gospel. We rise now out of respect and prepare for his message with the acclamation.

GOSPEL  from the Holy Mass of the day

The Lord be with you

And with your spirit

A reading from the holy Gospel according to N.

Glory to you, O Lord.

At the end:

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

HOMILY
God's word is spoken again in the homily. The Holy Spirit speaking through the lips of the preacher explains and applies today's biblical readings to the needs of this particular congregation. He calls us to respond to Christ through the life we lead.

PROFESSION  OF  FAITH  when said
We express our acceptance of God's message in the scriptures and homily in a creed handed down from the early Church.

I believe in one God
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
At the words that follow, up to and including and became man, all bow.
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with 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.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son, 
who with the Father and the Son
is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Instead of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed, especially during Lent and Easter time, the baptismal Symbol of the Roman Church, known as the Apostles' Creed, may be used.

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
At the words that follow, up to and including the Virgin Mary, all bow.
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God
the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge
the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.

PRAYER  OF  THE  FAITHFUL
As the priestly people we unite with one another by praying for today's needs in the Church and the world. After each intention, the people pray either by an invocation said together after each intention or by praying in silence.


THE  LITURGY  OF  THE  EUCHARIST

Made ready by reflection on God's word, we enter now into the eucharistic offering itself. We celebrate the memorial which the Lord instituted at his Last Supper. We are God's new people, brothers and sisters of Christ, gathered by him around his table, to bless God and to receive the gift of the body and blood of Christ. This transforms our faith and life. We prepare our hearts by song or in silence as the Lord's table is being set.

It is desirable that the faithful express their participation by making an offering, bringing forward bread and wine for the celebration of the Eucharist and perhaps other gifts to relieve the needs of the Church and of the poor.

Before placing the bread on the altar, the priest may speak these words aloud:

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for through your goodness we have received
the bread we offer you:
fruit of the earth and work of human hands,
it will become for us the bread of life.

Blessed be God for ever.

Before placing the chalice on the altar, the priest may speak these words aloud:

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for through your goodness we have received
the wine we offer you:
fruit of the vine and work of human hands,
it will become our spiritual drink.

Blessed be God for ever.

INVITATION  TO  PRAYER

Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters)
that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God,
the almighty Father.

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands
for the grace and glory of his name,
for our good and the good of all his holy Church.

PRAYER  OVER  THE  OFFERINGS  from the Holy Mass of the day. The priest, speaking in our name, asks the Father to bless and accept these offerings. At the end of the prayer, the people acclaim:

Amen.

EUCHARISTIC  PRAYER
We begin the eucharistic service of praise and thanksgiving, the centre of the entire celebration, the centre prayer of worship. At the priest's invitation we lift our hearts to God and unite with him in the words he addresses to the Father through Jesus Christ. Together we join Christ in his sacrifice, celebrating his memorial in the holy meal and acknowledging with him the wonderful works of God in our lives.

PREFACE  DIALOGUE

The Lord be with you.

And with your spirit.

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them up to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

It is right and just.

PREFACE  from the Holy Mass of the day

SANCTUS
Concluding the Preface with the people, all sing/say aloud:

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
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.

SELECTED  PREFACES

PREFACE  1
OF  THE  SUNDAYS  IN  ORDINARY  TIME
The Paschal Mystery and the People of God

It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God,
through Christ our Lord.

For through his Paschal Mystery,
he accomplished the marvellous deed,
by which he has freed us from the yoke of sin and death,
summoning us to the glory of being now called
a chosen race, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, a people for your own possession,
to proclaim everywhere your mighty works,
for you have called us out of darkness
into your own wonderful light.

And so, with the Angels and Archangels,
with Thrones and Dominions,
 and with all the hosts and Powers of heaven,
we sing the hymn of your glory,
as without end we acclaim:

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
