GOSPEL LUKE Jesus begins his public career

THE WORD Introduction to Luke’s Gospel Seeing that many others have undertaken to draw up accounts of the events that have taken place among us, exactly as these were handed down to us by those who from the outset were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, I in my turn, after carefully going over the whole story from the beginning, have decided to write an ordered account for you so that you may learn how well founded the teaching is that you have received.

APOSTLES’ CREED I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen

PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL In response to the Gospel anyone may try and say a prayer, ending: Lord in your mercy….. Missal suggests 4 intentions That our church might….. That our society might….. That our parish might….. At this special time we might.. PLEASE NOTE: these prayers are for us here. Those who are absent (the poor, refugees, sick, dead etc) should be remembered at the “memento” during the Eucharistic prayer

There is no plate collection here unless for a previously intimated good cause. If you wish to support your place of worship you should do this through your bank or the envelope system. Forms in sacristy. Box at back for visitors’ donations. Pray that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God the Almighty Father May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of all his holy church

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER The Lord be with you And with your spirit Lift up your hearts We lift them up to the Lord Let us give thanks to the Lord our God It is right and just PREFACE TO THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER

SANCTUS (Schubert) Holy holy holy, Lord God of hosts (x2) Heaven and earth are full, full of your glory Hosanna in the highest (x2) Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest (x2)

PROCLAMATION OF FAITH We proclaim your death O Lord and profess your resurrection until you come again, until you come again.

GREAT AMEN

THE LORD’S PRAYER If English is not your first language you are encouraged to say this prayer in the language in which you first learned it …..for the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever. The peace of the Lord be with you always: and with your spirit.

Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis (x2) (Latin: Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem ……grant us peace. Please kneel

Behold the Lamb of God, behold Him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

COMMUNION CHANT The Spirit of the Lord is now upon me To heal the broken heart and set the captives free, to open prison doors and make the blind to see. The Spirit of the Lord is now upon me

POST-COMMUNION God’s Spirit is in my heart he has called me and set me apart this is what I have to do, what I have to do He sent me to give the good news to the poor tell prisoners that they are prisoners no more tell blind people that they can see and set the downtrodden free and go tell everyone the news that the Kingdom of God has come (x2) Just as the Father sent me, so I’m sending you out to be my witnesses throughout the world, the whole of the world. Don’t worry what you have to say, don’t worry because on that day God’s Spirit will speak in you heart, will speak in your heart

Deacon: Go in the peace of Christ glorifying the Lord with your life. Response: Thanks be to God ! Now follow the cross and the SVdP member out on to the street !
