PENITENTAL ACT

​​I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have
  failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints, 
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me
to the Lord our God
 
May almighty God have mercy on us,
​forgive us our sins,
​and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.

LITURGY OF THE WORD 
A reading from the book of the prophet Amos  7:12-15

Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, said to Amos, ‘Go away, seer;’ get back to the land of Judah; earn your bread there, do your prophesying there. We want no more prophesying in Bethel; this is the royal sanctuary, the national temple.’ ‘I was no prophet, neither did I belong to any of the brotherhoods of prophets,’ Amos replied to Amaziah ‘I was a shepherd, and looked after sycamores: but it was the Lord who took me from herding the flock, and the Lord who said, “Go, prophesy to my people Israel.”’
 
The word of the Lord.  
Thanks be to God.

RESPONSORIAL  PSALM 84 (85)
 
   Let us see, O Lord, your mercy,
     and give us your saving help.
 
I will hear what the Lord God has to say,
a voice that speaks of peace,
peace for his people.
His help is near for those who fear him
and his glory will dwell in our land. R/
 
Mercy and faithfulness have met;
justice and peace have embraced.
Faithfulness shall spring from the earth
and justice look down from heaven. R/
 
The Lord will make us prosper
and our earth shall yield its fruit.
Justice shall march before him
and peace shall follow his steps. R/
 
A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Ephesians 1:3-14
 
Blessed be God the Father
   of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us with all the spiritual blessings of heaven in Christ.
Before the world was made, he chose us, chose us in Christ,
to be holy and spotless, and to live through love in his presence,
determining that we should become his adopted sons, through Jesus Christ
for his own kind purposes,
to make us praise the glory of his grace,
his free gift to us in the Beloved,
in whom, through his blood, we gain our freedom, the forgiveness of our sins.
Such is the richness of the grace
which he has showered on us
in all wisdom and insight.
He has let us know the mystery
   of his purpose,
the hidden plan he so kindly made in Christ from the beginning
to act upon when the times had run their course to the end:
that he would bring everything together
   under Christ, as head,
everything in the heavens
   and everything on earth.
And it is in him that we were claimed as God’s own, chosen from the beginning,
under the predetermined plan
 of the one who guides all things
as he decides by his own will;
chosen to be, for his greater glory,
the people who would put their hopes in Christ before he came.
Now you too, in him,
have heard the message of the truth and the good news of your salvation,
and have believed it;
and you too have been stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit of the Promise,
the pledge of our inheritance
which brings freedom for those whom God has taken for his own, to make his glory praised.
 
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.  
(Stand)
 
 Alleluia, alleluia!
Your words are spirit, Lord, and they are life;
you have the message of eternal life.
Alleluia!

THE HOLY GOSPEL
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A reading from the + Holy Gospel according to Mark. 6:7-13
Glory to you, O Lord.
 
Jesus made a tour round the villages, teaching. Then he summoned the Twelve and began to send them out in pairs giving them authority over the unclean spirits. And he instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a staff – no bread, no haversack, no coppers for their purses. They were to wear sandals but, he added, ‘Do not take a spare tunic.’ And he said to them, ‘If you enter a house anywhere, stay there until you leave the district. And if any place does not welcome you and people refuse to listen to you, as you walk away shake off the dust from under your feet as a sign to them.’ So they set off to preach repentance; and they cast out many devils, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.
 
​​​​​​​The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

THE CREED
I believe in one God,
   the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
   of all things visible and invisible.
 
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
   the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
   God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
   begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
   through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
   he came down from heaven,
 
and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
 
For our sake he was crucified under
Pontius Pilate,  he suffered death
    and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
   in accordance with the Scriptures.
 
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand
    of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead
   and his kingdom will have no end.
 
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
   the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father
     and the Son,
   who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
   who has spoken through the prophets.
 
I believe in one, holy, catholic
   and apostolic Church.
   I confess one Baptism
   for the forgiveness of sins
   and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead 
   and the life of the world to come. Amen.

THE MYSTERY OF FAITH
 
​When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
   we proclaim your Death, O Lord,
until you come again.

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth
   as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
  and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
   who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. 
​

COMMUNION ANTIPHON   Ps 83:4-5
 
The sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for her young:
by your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
Blessed are they who dwell in your house,
for ever singing your praise.
​​
THE ANGELUS
 
The Angel of the Lord brought tidings to Mary.
And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee. 
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus!
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
Be it unto me according to thy Word.
Hail Mary, full of grace.....

And the Word was made flesh.
And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary, full of grace.....

Pray for us, Holy Mother of God.
That we made be made worthy
of the promises of Christ. 
 
Let us pray. 
We beseech you Lord, to pour your grace into our hearts,
that as we have known the incarnation of your Son, Jesus,
by the message of an angel, so by his + cross and passion,
we maybe brought to the glories of his resurrection.
Through the same, Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen
