I
I will give you glory, O God my king,
I will bless your name for ever.
I will bless you day after day
and praise your name for ever.
The Lord is great, highly to be praised,
his greatness cannot be measured.
Age to age shall proclaim your works,
shall declare your mighty deeds,
shall speak of your splendor and glory,
tell the tale of your wonderful works.
They will speak of your terrible deeds,
recount your greatness and might.
They will recall your abundant goodness;
age to age shall ring out your justice.
The Lord is kind and full of compassion,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
How good is the Lord to all,
compassionate to all his creatures.
All your creatures shall thank you, O Lord,
and your friends shall repeat their blessing.
They shall speak of the glory of your reign
and declare your might, O God,
to make known to all your mighty deeds
and the glorious splendor of your reign.
Yours is an everlasting kingdom;
your rule lasts from age to age. Glory…

The Lord is faithful in all his words
and loving in all his deeds.
The Lord supports all who fall
and raises up all who are bowed down.
The eyes of all creatures look to you
and you give them their food in due time.
You open wide your hand,
grant the desires of all who live.
The Lord is just in all his ways
and loving in all his deeds.
He is close to all who call him,
who call on him from their hearts.
He grants the desires of those who fear him,
he hears their cry and he saves them.
The Lord protects all who love him ;
the wicked he will utterly destroy.
Let me speak the praise of the Lord,
let all peoples bless his holy name
for ever, for ages unending. Glory…

and worship in your presence.

OPENING PRAYER (stand)
All sit for the Liturgy of the Word.
After the Homily:
INTERCESSIONS (Universal Prayer)
The Savior of mankind by dying destroyed death and by rising again restored life. Let us humbly ask him:
Sanctify your people, redeemed by your blood.
Redeemer of the world, give us a greater share of your passion through a deeper spirit of repentance,
– so that we may share the glory of your resurrection.
May your Mother, comfort of the afflicted, protect us,
– may we console others as you console us.
In their trials enable your faithful people to share in your passion,
– and so reveal in their lives your saving power.
You humbled yourself by being obedient even to accepting death, death on a cross,
– give all who serve you the gifts of obedience and patient endurance.
Transform the bodies of the dead to be like your own in glory,
– and bring us at last into their fellowship.
Presider Show gracious favor, O Lord, we pray, to the works of penance we have begun,
that we may have strength to accomplish with sincerity the bodily observances we undertake. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

MAGNIFICAT (Canticle of Mary)
Antiphon: When the bridegroom is taken away from them, then will be the time for the wedding guests to fast.
(Tune to Amazing Grace/New Britain)
My soul proclaims the Lord my God
My spirit sings his praiseHe looks on me, he lifts me upAnd gladness fills my days
All nations now will share my joy
His gifts he has outpoured
His little ones he has made great
I magnify the Lord
His mercy is forever more
His name I praise again
His strong right arm puts down the proud
And raises lowly men
He fills the hungry with good things
The rich he sends away
The promise made to Abraham
Is filled by him each day
Antiphon: When the bridegroom is taken away from them, then will be the time for the wedding guests to fast.
