Introductory Rite:
God, come to my assistance R/ Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
R/ as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
The setting sun now dies away,
and darkness comes at close of day;
your brightest beams, dear Lord, impart,
and let them shine within our heart.
We praise your name with joy this night.
Please watch and guide us till the light;
Joining the music of the blest,
Oh lord, we sing ourselves to rest
To God the Father, God the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Trinity blest, whom we adore,
Be praise and glory evermore.
PSALMODY
Antiphon 1: The Lord surrounds his people with his strength.
Psalm 125
Those who put their trust in the Lord
are like Mount Zion, that cannot be shaken,
that stands for ever.
Jerusalem! The mountains surround her,
so the Lord surrounds his people
both now and for ever.
For the scepter of the wicked shall not rest
over the land of the just
for fear that the hands of the just
should turn to evil.
Do good, Lord, to those who are good,
to the upright of heart;
but the crooked and those who do evil,
drive them away!
On Israel, peace! Glory…
Psalm Prayer: Surround your people, Lord, within the safety of your Church, which you preserve on its rock foundation. Do not let us stretch out our hands to evil deeds, nor be destroyed by the insidious snares of the enemy, but bring us to share the lot of the saints in light.
Antiphon 1: The Lord surrounds his people with his strength.
Antiphon 2 Unless you acquire the heart of a child, you cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Psalm 131
O Lord, my heart is not proud
nor haughty my eyes.
I have not gone after things too great
nor marvels beyond me.
Truly I have set my soul
in silence and peace.
A weaned child on its mother’s breast,
even so is my soul.
O Israel, hope in the Lord
both now and forever. Glory…
Psalm Prayer: Lord Jesus, gentle and humble of heart, you declared that whoever receives a little child in your name receives you, and you promised your kingdom to those who are like children. Never let pride reign in our hearts, but may the Father’s compassion reward and embrace all who willingly bear your gentle yoke.
Antiphon 2 Unless you acquire the heart of a child, you cannot enter the kingdom of God.
.Antiphon 3 Lord, you have made us a kingdom and priests for God our Father.
Revelation 4:11;5-9,10,12
Worthy are you, Lord our God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
For you have created all things;
by your will they came to be and were made.
Worthy are you, O Lord
to receive the scroll and break open its seals.
For you were slain;
with your blood you purchased for God
those from every tribe and tongue,
of every people and nation.
You made them a kingdom,
and priests to serve our God,
and they shall reign on earth.”
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
to receive power and riches,
wisdom and strength,
honor and glory and praise. Glory…
Antiphon 3 Lord, you have made us a kingdom and priests for God our Father.

INTERCESSIONS
Christ our Lord has warned us to watch and pray to avoid temptation. With our whole heart let us pray to him:
Turn to us, Lord, and have mercy.
Jesus, our Christ, you promised to be with those who pray in your name,
– help us always to pray with you to the Father in the Holy Spirit.
Bridegroom of the Church, cleanse her from every stain,
– teach her to walk in hope and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Friend of the human race, teach us concern for our neighbor as you have commanded,
– that all may see you more clearly as the light of the world.
King of peace, give your peace to the world,
– that your presence may reveal your saving power in every place.
Open the door of eternal happiness to all the dead,
– welcome them into the glory of unending life.
May your grace not forsake us, O Lord, we pray,
but make us dedicated to your holy service
and at all times obtain for us your help.
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. Amen
(All are seated for the Liturgy of the Eucharist)
Lord’s Prayer
Pater noster, qui es in cælis
Sanctificétur nomen tuum
Advéniat regnum tuum
Fiat volúntas tua
Sicut in cælo et in terra
Panem 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)
Antiphon: This is how my heavenly Father will treat each one of you, unless you forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.
une to Amazing Grace/New Britain)
My soul proclaims the Lord my God
My spirit sings his praise
He looks on me, he lifts me up
And 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: This is how my heavenly Father will treat each one of you, unless you forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.
