Lord Have Mercy Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison Christe eleison, Christe eleison Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison LITURGY OF THE WORD First Reading A reading from the prophet Isaiah 61:9-11 Their race will be famous throughout the nations, their descendants throughout the peoples. All who see them will admit That they are a race whom the Lord has blessed. I exult for joy in the Lord, My soul rejoices in my God, For He has clothed me in the garments of salvation, He has wrapped me in the cloak of integrity, like a bridegroom wearing his wreath, like a bride adorned in her jewels, for as the earth makes fresh things grow, as a garden makes seeds spring up, so will the Lord make integrity and praise spring up in the sight of the nations. The Word of The Lord Responsorial Psalm My heart exults in the Lord my Saviour My heart exults in the Lord, I find my strength in my God; My mouth laughs at my enemies As I rejoice in your saving help. The bows of the mighty are broken, But the weak are clothed with strength Those with plenty must labour for bread, But the hungry need work no more. The childless wife has children now But the fruitful wife bears no more. It is the Lord who gives life and death He brings men to the grave and back; It is the Lord who gives poverty and riches, He brings men low and raises them on high. He lifts up the lowly from the dust, From the dungheap he raises the poor To set them in the company of princes, To give them a glorious throne. Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, Alleluia Blessed is the Virgin Mary Who treasured the Word of God, And pondered it in her heart. Alleluia Gospel A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 2:41-51 Every year, the parents of Jesus used to go to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up for the feast as usual. When they were on their way home, after the feast, the boy Jesus, stayed behind in Jerusalem without his parents knowing it. They assumed he was with the caravan and it was only after a day’s journey that they went to look for him among their relations and acquaintances. When they failed to find him they went back to Jerusalem looking for him everywhere. Three days later, they found Him in the temple, sitting among the doctors, listening to them and asking them questions; and all those who heard Him were astounded at His intelligence and replies. They were overcome when they saw Him, and His mother said to Him, “My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you”. “Why were you looking for me?”, He replied, “Did you not know that I must be busy about My Father’s affairs?” But they did not understand what He meant. He then went down with them to Nazareth and lived under their authority. His mother stored up all these things in her heart. The Gospel of The Lord Blessing of The Roses Prayers of the Faithful Response: Lord, graciously hear us LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST Offertory Hymn Gifts of Bread and Wine Gifts of bread and wine, gifts we’ve offered Fruits of labour, fruits of love Taken, offered, sanctified Blessed and broken; words of one Who died.

I will set a feast for them, My hand will save Finest bread I will provide, Till their hearts be satisfied. I will give My life to them, Whom shall I send?

Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins. A word from thee will obtain the grace and forgiveness for us all.

We give you our bodies, hearts and souls Our homes, families, parish and country. We desire that everything in and around us may belong to you And share in the benefits of your motherly protection. In order that this act of consecration may be truly efficacious and lasting, we today renew the promises we made at Baptism and Confirmation. We pledge that we will courageously and unceasingly profess the truths of our holy faith and live as befits Catholics who are duly submissive to the direction of the Pope and the Bishops who are in communion with him. We pledge ourselves to keep the commandments of God and the Church, in particular, to keep holy The Lord’s Day. We also pledge ourselves to make the practices of the Christian religion, especially the frequent and regular reception of the consoling Sacrament of Reconciliation and Holy Communion an integral part of our lives. Finally we promise you, O glorious Mother of God and loving Mother of all people, to dedicate ourselves with all our hearts to the service of devotion to you. Through the sovereignty of your Immaculate Heart, may we thus hasten and assure the coming of the kingdom of the Sacred Heart of your adorable Son in your own hearts as well as those of all people, in our own parish and country as well as in the whole world, on earth as it is in heaven.
