Introductory Rite:

O Sacred Heart, O Love Divine,
Do keep us near to Thee;
and make our love so like to Thine,
that we may holy be.
Chorus:
Heart of Jesus, hear,
O Heart of Love Divine;
Listen to our pray’r,
Make us always Thine.
O Temple pure, O House of gold,
Our heaven here below.
What sweet delight, what wealth untold,
from Thee do ever flow. (Chorus)
O Wounded Heart, O Font of tears,
O Throne of grief and pain
whereon, for the eternal years,
Thy love for man does reign.
Ungrateful hearts, forgetful hearts,
the hearts of man have been,
to wound Thy side with cruel darts
which they have made by sin.
Antiphon 1 Great is the Lord our God, transcending all other gods.
Psalm 135
I
Praise the name of the Lord, praise him, servants of the Lord, who stand in the house of the Lord in the courts of the house of our God.
Praise the Lord for the Lord is good. Sing a psalm to his name for he is loving. For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself and Israel for his own possession.
For I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is high above all gods. The Lord does whatever he wills, in heaven, on earth, in the seas.
He summons clouds from the ends of the earth;
makes lightning produce the rain;
from his treasuries he sends forth the wind.
The first-born of the Egyptians he smote,
of man and beast alike.
Signs and wonders he worked
in the midst of your land, O Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants.
Nations in their greatness he struck and kings in their splendor he slew. Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan. He let Israel inherit their land; on his people their land he bestowed. Glory…
Antiphon 1 Great is the Lord our God, transcending all other gods.
Antiphon 2 House of Israel, bless the Lord! Sing psalms to him for he is merciful.
II
Lord, your name stands for ever,unforgotten from age to age,for the Lord does justice for his people;the Lord takes pity on his servants.
Pagan idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. They have mouths but they cannot speak; they have eyes but they cannot see.
They have ears but they cannot hear; there is never a breath on their lips. Their makers will come to be like them and so will all who trust in them!
Sons of Israel, bless the Lord! Sons of Aaron, bless the Lord! Sons of Levi, bless the Lord! You who fear him, bless the Lord!
From Zion may the Lord be blessed, he who dwells in Jerusalem! Glory…
Psalm Prayer:Father, your name and your memory last forever. We stand to pray and praise you with psalms of joy. We ask you in your kindness to have mercy on us in our lowliness
Antiphon 2 House of Israel, bless the Lord! Sing psalms to him for he is merciful.
Antiphon 3 All nations will come and worship before you, O Lord.
Revelation 15:3-4
Mighty and wonderful are your works, Lord God Almighty! Righteous and true are your ways, O King of the nations!
Who would dare refuse you honor, or the glory due your name, O Lord?
Since you alone are holy, all nations shall come and worship in your presence. Your mighty deeds are clearly seen. Glory…
Antiphon 3 All nations will come and worship before you, O Lord.
Opening Prayer
All sit for the Liturgy of the Word.
After the Homily:
INTERCESSIONS (Universal Prayer)
The Lord Jesus sanctified his people with his blood. Let us cry out to him:
Lord, have mercy on your people.
Loving Redeemer, through your passion teach us self-denial, strengthen us against evil and adversity, and increase our hope, – and so make us ready to celebrate your resurrection. Grant that Christians, as your prophets, may make you known in every place, – and bear witness to you with living faith and hope and love. Give your strength to all in distress, – and help us to raise them up through our loving concern. Teach the faithful to see your passion in their sufferings, – and show to others your power to save. Author of life, remember those who have passed from this world, – grant them the glory of your risen life.
Presider:
Pour your grace into our hearts, we pray, O Lord,
that we may be constantly drawn away from unruly desires
and obey by your own gift the heavenly teaching you give us.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
(All are seated for the Liturgy of the Eucharist)
Lord’s Prayer
Pater noster, qui es in cælis Sanctificétur nomen tuumAdvéniat regnum tuum Fiat volúntas tuaSicut in cælo et in terraPanem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie Et dimítte nobis débita nostraSicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónemSed libera nos a malo.
After Holy Communion, all stand for the Magnificat.
MAGNIFICAT (Canticle of Mary)
Antiphon: : It is far more important to love your neighbor as yourself than to offer sacrifice.
(#825, Breaking Bread – Luke 1: Magnificat by Bernadette Farrell)
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord my spirit sings to God, my saving God, who on this day above all others favored me and raised me up, a light for all to see.
Through me great deeds will God make manifest, and all the earth will come to call me blest. Unbounded love and mercy sure will I proclaim for all who know and praise God #s holy name.
God’s mighty arm, protector of the just, will guard the weak and raise them from the dust. But mighty kings will swiftly fall from thrones corrupt. The strong brought low, the lowly lifted up.
Soon will the poor and hungry of the earth
be richly blest, be given greater worth.
And Israel, as once foretold to Abraham,
will live in peace throughout the promised land.
All glory be to God, Creator blest, to Jesus Christ, God’s love made manifest, and to the Holy Spirit, gentle Comforter, all glory be, both now and ever more
Antiphon: : It is far more important to love your neighbor as yourself than to offer sacrifice.

O salutaris Hostia,

Nobis donet in patria.
Amen.
