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.
I sing the mighty power of God, that made the mountains rise,That spread the flowing seas
abroad, and built the lofty skies.I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day;The moon
shines full at God’s command, and all the stars obey.
I sing the goodness of the Lord, who filled the earth with food,Who formed the creatures through
the Word, and then pronounced them good.Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, where’er I turn
my eye,If I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky.
There’s not a plant or flower below, but makes Thy glories known,And clouds arise, and tempests
blow, by order from Thy throne;While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care;And
everywhere that we can be,Thou, God art present there.
Antiphon 1: Each morning Lord, you fill us with your kindness.
Psalm 90
O Lord, you have been our refugefrom one generation to the next.Before the mountains were
bornor the earth or the world brought forth,you are God, without beginning or end.
You turn men back to dustand say: Go back, sons of men.To your eyes a thousand yearsare like
yesterday, come and gone,no more than a watch in the night.
You sweep men away like a dream,like the grass which springs up in the morning.In the morning
it springs up and flowers:by evening it withers and fades.
So we are destroyed in your anger,struck with terror in your fury.Our guilt lies open before you;our
secrets in the light of your face.
All our days pass away in your anger.Our life is over like a sigh.Our span is seventy years,or
eighty for those who are strong.
And most of these are emptiness and pain.They pass swiftly and we are gone.Who understands
the power of your angerand fears the strength of your fury?
Make us know the shortness of our lifethat we may gain wisdom of heart.Lord, relent! Is your
anger for ever?Show pity to your servants.
In the morning, fill us with your love;we shall exult and rejoice all our days.Give us joy to balance
our afflictionfor the years when we knew misfortune.
Show forth your work to your servants;let your glory shine on their children.Let the favor of the
Lord be upon us:give success to the work of our hands,give success to the work of our hands.
Glory…
Psalm Prayer: Lord, send your mercy and your truth to rescue us from the snares of the devil,
and, happy to be known as companions of your Son, we will praise you among the peoples and
proclaim you to the nations.
Antiphon 1: Each morning Lord, you fill us with your kindness
Antiphon 2: From the farthest bounds of earth, may God be praised!
Canticle – Isaiah 42:10-16
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise from the end of the earth:
Let the sea and what fills it resound, the coastlands, and those who dwell in them.Let the steppe
and its cities cry out, the villages where Kedar dwells;
Let the inhabitants of Sela exult, and shout from the top of the mountains.Let them give glory to
the Lord, and utter his praise in the coastlands.
The Lord goes forth like a hero, like a warrior he stirs up his ardor; He shouts out his battle cry,
against his enemies he shows his might:
I have looked away, and kept silence, I have said nothing, holding myself in; But now, I cry out as
a woman in labor, gasping and panting.
I will lay waste mountains and hills, all their herbage I will dry up; I will turn the rivers into
marshes, and the marshes I will dry up.
I will lead the blind on their journey; by paths unknown I will guide them. I will turn darkness into
light before them, and make crooked ways straight. Glory…
Antiphon 2: From the farthest bounds of earth, may God be praised!
Antiphon 3: You who stand in his sanctuary, praise the name of the Lord.
Psalm 135:1-12
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 himselfand Israel for his own possession
Responsorial Psalm
GlVerse 3 God is your
guard and
protection;
by your side
God shall
stand.
By day the sun shall not
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 struckand 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..
Psalm Prayer: Where two or three gather in your name, Lord, you promised to be with them and
share their fellowship. Look down upon your family gathered here in your name, and graciously
pour out your blessing upon us.
Antiphon 3: You who stand in his sanctuary, praise the name of the Lord.

After the Homily:
INTERCESSIONS (Universal Prayer)Blessed be God the Father for his gift
of this sacrifice of praise. In the spirit of this Lenten season, let us pray:
Instruct us, Lord, in the ways of your kingdom.
God of power and mercy, give us the spirit of prayer and repentance, –
with burning love for you and all mankind.
Help us to work with you in making all things new in Christ, – and in
spreading justice and peace throughout the world.
Teach us the meaning and value of creation, – so that we may join its
voice to ours as we sing your praise.
Forgive us for failing to see Christ in the poor, the distressed and the
troublesome, – and for our failure to reverence your Son in three
persons.

O God, who through your Wordreconcile the human race to yourself in a
wonderful way,grant, we pray,that with prompt devotion and eager
faiththe Christian people may hastentoward the solemn celebrations to

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
After Holy Communion, all stand for the Benedictus.
BENEDICTUS/Canticle of Zachariah Benedictus – Luke 1: 68-79
Antiphon: A royal official, hearing the Jesus had come to Galillee, begged him to
heal his son who lay ill in Capernaum.
(While making the Sign of the Cross, we pray the following)
Blest be the God of Israel who comes to set us free
and raises up new hope for us: a Branch for David’s tree.
So have the prophets long declared that with a mighty arm
God would turn back our enemies and all who wish us harm
.
With promised mercy will God still the covenant recall,
the oath once sworn to Abraham from foes to save us all;
that we might worship without fear and offer lives of praise,
in holiness and righteousness to serve God all our days.
My child, as prophet of the Lord you will prepare the way,
to tell God’s people they are saved from sin’s eternal sway.
Then shall God’s mercy from on high shine forth and never cease
to drive away the gloom of death and lead us into peace.
Antiphon: A royal official, hearing the Jesus had come to Galillee, begged him to
heal his son who lay ill in Capernaum.
