Yes, he is our Father, we
are his own.
We are the sheep of his green pasture,
for we are his people; he
is our God.
Brethren, let us acknowledge our sins,
that we may
prepare ourselves to
celebrate the sacred mysteries.

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,

you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the
Father,
have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.
First reading Deuteronomy 4:32-34. 39-40
Moses said
to the people: 'Put this question, then, to the ages that are past, that went before you,
from the time God created man on earth: Was there ever a word so majestic, from one end of
heaven to the other? Was anything ever heard? Did ever a people hear the voice of the
living God speaking from the heart of the fire, as you heard it, and remain alive? Has any
god ventured to take to himself one nation from the midst of another by ordeals, signs,
wonders, war with mighty hand and outstretched arm, by fearsome terrors - all this that
the Lord your God did for you before your eyes in Egypt? This he showed you so that you
might know that the Lord is God indeed and that there is no other. He let you hear his
voice out of heaven for your instruction; on earth he let you see his great fire, and from
the heart of the fire you heard his word. Because he loved your fathers and chose their
descendants after them, he brought you out from Egypt, openly showing his presence and his
great power, driving out in front of you nations greater and more powerful than yourself,
and brought you into their land to give it you for your heritage, as it is still today.
Understand
this today, therefore, and take it to heart: the Lord is God indeed, in heaven above as on
earth beneath, he and no other. Keep his laws and commandments as I give them to you
today, so that you and your children may prosper and live long in the land that the Lord
your God gives you for ever.'
Resp: Happy the
people the Lord has chosen as his own.
SECOND READING: Romans 8:14-17
Everyone moved by the Spirit is a son of God. The spirit you received is not the
spirit of slaves bringing fear into your lives again; it is the spirit of sons, and it
makes us cry out, 'Abba, Father!' The Spirit himself and our spirit bear united witness
that we are children of God. And if we are children we are heirs as well: heirs of God and
coheirs with Christ, sharing his sufferings so as to share his glory
Alleluia, alleluia!
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
and kindle in them the fire of your love.
Alleluia!
GOSPEL: Matthew 28:16-20
The eleven disciples set out for Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had arranged to
meet them. When they saw him they fell down before him, though some hesitated. Jesus came
up and spoke to them. He said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, make disciples of all the nations; baptise them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all the commands I gave
you. And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.'
Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
And 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,
(At the words that follow up to and
including and became man, all bow)
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.
And 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.
Offertory Hymn
All that I am, all that I do,
All that I ever have I offer now to You.
Take and sanctify these gifts
for your honour Lord.
Knowing that I love and serve You
is enough reward.
All
that I am, all that I do,
all that I ever have I
offer now to you.
All
that I dream, all that I pray
All
that I ever make I give to You today.
Take and sanctify these gifts ...
Pray, brethren, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to
God, the almighty Father.
R. 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.
The Preface
The Lord be with you.
R. And with your spirit.
Lift up your hearts.
R. We lift them up to
the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
R. It is right and just.
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the
Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
The mystery of faith.
We proclaim your death, O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection
until you come again.
At the Saviour’s command and formed
by divine teaching, we dare to say:
Pater noster, qui es in caelis:
sanctificetur Nomen Tuum;
adveniat Regnum Tuum;
fiat voluntas Tua,
sicut in caelo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus
nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem;
sed libera nos a Malo.
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.
R. Lord, I am not worthy that you should
enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
Communion:
Eucharistic Congress Hymn
Though we are many, we are one body,
we who come to share this living bread.
Cup of salvation, shared among all
nations
Nourishing us now and
evermore.
We gather in this place
‘round the table of the Lord;
Christ’s presence is revealed
in our communion and his living word.
2 Now
our communion recalls,
Christ’s death and resurrection.
This living sacrifice
is our salvation now and evermore.
Final Hymn: Holy God we praise thy name
Holy God, we praise Thy Name;
Lord of all, we bow before Thee!
All on earth Thy sceptre claim,
All in Heaven above adore Thee;
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy
reign.
Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee;
While in essence only One,
Undivided God we claim Thee;
And adoring bend the knee, While we own the
mystery.
