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. Amen.

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
READING
Col 1,24 – 2,3
A READING from the letter of St Paul to the Colossians.
It makes me happy to suffer for you, as I am suffering now, and in my own body to do what I can to make up all that has still to be undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church. I became the servant of the Church when God made me responsible for delivering God’s message to you, the message which was a mystery hidden for generations and centuries and has now been revealed to his saints. It was God’s purpose to reveal it to them and to show all the rich glory of this mystery to pagans. The mystery is Christ among you, your hope of glory: this is the Christ we proclaim, this is the wisdom in which we thoroughly train everyone and instruct everyone, to make them all perfect in Christ. It is for this I struggle wearily on, helped only by his power driving me irresistibly.
Yes, I want you to know that I do have to struggle hard for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for so many others who have never seen me face to face. It is all to bind you together in love and to stir your minds, so that your understanding may come to full development, until you really know God’s secret in which all the jewels of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
The word of the Lord. – Thanks be to God.
Verbum Domini. – Deo gratias.
PSALM
Ps 61:6-7. 9
In God is my safety and my glory. 61:8a
In God alone be at rest, my soul;
for my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock, my stronghold,
my fortress; I stand firm.
– In God is my safety and my glory.
Take refuge in God all you people.
Trust him at all times.
Pour out your hearts before him
for God is our refuge.
– In God is my safety and my glory.
ALLELUIA
Taizé
Alleluia.
My sheep listen to my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they follow me. Jn 10:27
Alleluia.
GOSPEL
Lk 6:6-11
The Lord be with you. – And with your spirit.
† A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
– Glory to you, O Lord.
Dominus vobiscum. – Et cum spiritu tuo.
Lectio sancti † Evangelii secundum Lucam.
– Gloria tibi, Domine.
On the sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees were watching him to see if he would cure a man on the sabbath, hoping to find something against him. But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man with the withered hand, ‘Stand up! Come out into the middle.’ And he came out and stood there.
Then Jesus said to them, ‘I put it to you: is it against the law on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to destroy it?’ Then he looked around at them all and said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ He did so, and his hand was better. But they were furious, and began to discuss the best way of dealing with Jesus.
The Gospel of the Lord. – Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Verbum Domini. – Laus tibi, Christe.

THE PREARATION OF THE GIFTS
OFFERTORY CHANT
M. Duruflé: Ubi caritas et amor (choir)
Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters), 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.
Suscípiat Dóminus sacrifícium de mánibus tuis ad laudem et glóriam nóminis sui, ad utilitátem quoque nostram totiúsque Ecclésiæ suæ sanctæ.
PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
O God, who give us the gift of true prayer and of peace, graciously grant that through this offering, we may do fitting homage to your divine majesty and, by partaking of the sacred mystery, we may be faithfully united in mind and heart. Through Christ our Lord. – Amen.
PREFACE
(Common preface III)
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.
Dóminus vobíscum. – Et cum spíritu tuo.
Sursum corda. – Habémus ad Dóminum.
Grátias agámus Dómino Deo nostro. – Dignum et iustum est.
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and
everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and
eternal God.
For just as through your beloved Son you created the human race, so also through him with great goodness you formed it anew.
And so, it is right that all your creatures serve you, all the redeemed praise you, and all your Saints with one heart bless you.
Therefore, we, too, extol you with all the Angels, as in joyful celebration we acclaim:
SANCTUS
Missa mundi
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.
EUCHARISTIC PRAYER
C. You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness.
A. Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall, so that they may become for us the Body and X Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his Passion, he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY BODY, WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice and, once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT,
FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY
FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.
C. The mystery of faith.
– We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.
Mortem tuam annuntiámus, Dómine, et tuam resurrectiónem confitémur, donec vénias.
A. Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his Death and Resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the Bread of life and the Chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you.
Humbly we pray that, partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ,
we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
1. Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the fullness of charity, together with Francis our Pope and Peter our Bishop and all the clergy.
2. Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection, and all who have died in your mercy: welcome them into the light of your face. Have mercy on us all, we pray, that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with blessed Joseph, her Spouse, with the blessed Apostles, and all the Saints who have pleased you throughout the ages, we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life, and may praise and glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ.
A. Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honour is yours, for ever and ever. – Amen.
THE COMMUNION RITE
At the Saviour’s command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:
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. Amen.
Pater noster, qui es in cælis
sanctificétur nomen tuum;
advéniat regnum tuum;
fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie;
et dimítte nobis débita nostra,
sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris;
et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem;
sed líbera nos a malo.
Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
– For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.
Quia tuum est regnum, et potéstas, et glória in sæcula.
Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your Apostles: Peace I leave you, my peace I give you; look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church, and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will. Who live and reign for ever and ever. – Amen.
The peace of the Lord be with you always. – And with your spirit.
Pax Dómini sit semper vobíscum. – Et cum spíritu tuo.
Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
