PSALMODY
Antiphon 1:The Lord looks tenderly on those who are poor
In the Lord I have taken my refuge.
How can you say to my soul:
“Fly like a bird to its mountain.
See the wicked one bracing his bow;
he is fixing his arrows on the string
to ambush the upright by stealth.
Foundations once destroyed,
what can the just do?”
The Lord is in his holy temple,
the Lord, whose throne is in heaven.
His eyes look down on the world;
his gaze tests the people of the earth.
The Lord tests the just and the wicked;
the lover of violence he hates.
He sends fire and brimstone on the wicked;
he sends a scorching wind as their lot.
The Lord is just and loves justice;
the upright will see his face. Glory…
Psalm Prayer: Lord God, you search the hearts of all, both the good and the wicked. May those who are in danger for love of you, find security in you now, and, in the day of judgment, may they rejoice in seeing you face to face.
Antiphon 1:The Lord looks tenderly on those who are poor.
Antiphon 2 Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.
Lord, who shall be admitted to your tent
and dwell on your holy mountain?
The man who walks without fault,
who acts with justice
and speaks the truth from his heart,
he who does not slander with his tongue,
who does no wrong to his kindred,
who casts no slur on his neighbors,
who holds the godless in disdain,
but honors those who fear the Lord;
those who keep their word, come what may,
who take no interest on a loan
and accept no bribes against the innocent.
Such people will stand firm for ever. Glory…
Psalm Prayer: Make our lives blameless, Lord. Help us to do what is right and to speak what is true, that we may dwell in your tent and find rest on your holy mountain.
Antiphon 2 Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.
.Antiphon 3 God chose us in his Son to be his adopted children.
Praised be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has bestowed on us in Christ
every spiritual blessing in the heavens.
God chose us in him
before the world began
to be holy
and blameless in his sight,
to be full of love.
He predestined us
to be his adopted sons through Jesus Christ,
such was his will and pleasure,
that all might praise the glorious favor
he has bestowed on us in his beloved.
In him and through his blood,we have been redeemed,
and our sins forgiven,
so immeasurably generous
is God’s favor to us.
God has given us the wisdom
to understand fully the mystery,
the plan he was pleased
to decree in Christ.
A plan to be carried out
in Christ, in the fullness of time,
to bring all things into one in him,
in the heavens and on earth. Glory…

OPENING PRAYER (stand)All sit for the Liturgy of the Word.
After the Homily:INTERCESSIONS (Universal Prayer)
Our Lord Jesus Christ has saved us from our sins. As his people, let us call out to him:
Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on us.
Lord Christ, we pray for your holy Church; you gave yourself up to make it holy, cleansing it with water and the life-giving word, – renew it constantly and purify it by penanceGood Master, show young people the way you have chosen for each of them, – may they walk in it, and find fulfillment.In your compassion you healed all forms of sickness; bring hope to the sick and raise them up, – teach us to love and care for them.Make us mindful of the dignity you gave us in baptism, – may we live for you at every moment.May the dead rise to glory in your peace, – grant us with them a share in your kingdom.
Presider:
By your help, we beseech you, Lord our God,
may we walk eagerly in that same charity
with which, out of love for the world,
your Son handed himself over to death.
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.
(All are seated for the Liturgy of the Eucharist)
Lord’s Prayer
Pater noster, qui es in cælisSanctificétur nomen tuumAdvéniat regnum tuumFiat volúntas tuaSicut in cælo et in terraPanem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie
Et dimítte nobis débita nostra
Sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris
Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem
Sed libera nos a malo
MAGNIFICAT (Canticle of Mary) (after Holy Communion)
Antiphon: I am my own testimony, says the Lord, and my Father who sent me also testifies on my behalf.
(Luke 1: Magnificat by Bernadette Farrell)
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lordmy spirit sings to God, my saving God,who on this day above all others favored meand 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 proclaimfor 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 earthbe 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: I am my own testimony, says the Lord, and my Father who sent me also testifies on my behalf.
