00:15In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, the Lord be with you
00:20and welcome to us wherever you might be as we come to particularly during this month of November pray for
00:29all of our
00:30departed family and friends and loved ones and indeed for all people who have died that they may be with
00:38God in heaven for eternity and that they might pray for us. So let's stand in God's presence for a
00:45moment and thank him for the great gifts we have and take a moment too to humbly but confidently ask
00:52this pardon.
01:25Let us pray.
01:29Almighty and merciful God, by whose gift your faithful people offer you right and praiseworthy service,
01:40God we pray that we may hasten without stumbling to receive the things you've promised.
01:47And we ask this through Christ our Lord.
01:53Our first reading today is from the letter of St. Paul that he wrote to the people of Philippi, the
02:00Philippians.
02:02My brothers, be united in following my rule of life.
02:08Take as your models, everybody who's already doing this, and study them as you used to study us.
02:17I've told you, I have told you, I have told you often, and I repeat again today, with some tears,
02:25there are some, there are many who are behaving as the enemies of the cross of Christ.
02:32They are destined to be lost, they are destined to be lost, they make food into their God, and they
02:38are proudest of something they ought to be shameful about.
02:43The things they think important are earthly things.
02:48For us, our homeland is in heaven, and from heaven comes the Saviour we're waiting for, the Lord Jesus Christ,
02:56and he will transfigure these wretched bodies of ours into copies of his glorious body.
03:07He will do that by the same power with which he can subdue the whole universe.
03:15So then, my brothers and dear friends, do not give way, but remain faithful in the Lord.
03:23I miss you very much, dear friends.
03:26You are my joy and my crown.
03:32The word of the Lord.
03:35Our response to the psalm today is,
03:39Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
03:43Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
03:48I rejoiced when I heard them say,
03:50Let us go to God's house.
03:52And now, our feet are standing within your gates.
03:56Oh, Jerusalem.
03:58Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
04:02Jerusalem is built as a city strongly compact.
04:06There is there that the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord.
04:12Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
04:16For Israel's law it is there to praise the Lord's name.
04:22There were set the thrones and judgments of the house of the David.
04:27Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord's name.
04:31When we greet the gospel.
04:33Hallelujah.
04:34Hallelujah.
04:35Whoever keeps the word of Christ grows perfect in the love of God.
04:41Hallelujah.
04:43And the Lord be with you.
04:45A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
04:51Jesus said to his disciples,
04:54There was a rich man and he had a steward who was denounced to him for being wasteful with his
05:05property.
05:07So he called for the man and said,
05:10What is this I hear about you?
05:13Draw me up an account of your stewardship because you're not to be my steward any longer.
05:22And then the steward said to himself,
05:24Well, now that my master is taking the stewardship from me,
05:28What am I to do?
05:30Dig?
05:31I'm not strong enough.
05:33Go begging?
05:34I should be too ashamed.
05:37Ah, I know what I will do to make sure that when I am dismissed from office,
05:44There will be some to welcome me into their homes.
05:48So then he called his master's debtors one by one.
05:55For the first he said,
05:57How much do you owe my master?
06:00A hundred measures of oil was replied.
06:03But the steward said,
06:05Here, take your bond, sit down straight away and write fifty.
06:11To another he said,
06:12And you, sir, how much do you owe?
06:15A hundred measures of wheat was the reply.
06:19And the steward said,
06:21Here, take your bond and write eighty.
06:25Then the master praised the dishonest servant for his astuteness.
06:34For the children of this world are more astute in dealing with their own kind
06:39than are the children of light.
06:44The gospel of the Lord.
06:50Blessed be you, Lord God of all creation.
06:51Through your goodness, we have received the bread we offer you.
06:54Who did the earth and work of human hands will become for us the bread of life?
07:00By the midst of this water and wine,
07:02may we come to share in the divinity of Christ,
07:07who convict himself to share in our humanity.
07:19Blessed be you, Lord God of all creation.
07:21Through your goodness, we have received the wine we offer you.
07:24Fruit of the vine and work of human hands will become our spiritual drink.
07:29Lord God, we ask you to receive us and be pleased with the sacrifice we offer you
07:33with humble and contrite hearts.
07:35Lord, wash away my hand in fatigue.
07:38Cleanse me from my sin.
07:49Pray now, my brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours
07:52may be acceptable to God, the Almighty Father.
07:59May these sacrificial offerings, O Lord, become for you a pure offering
08:05and for us a holy outpouring of your mercy.
08:10And we ask this through Christ our Lord.
08:14The Lord be with you.
08:16Lift up your hearts.
08:18Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
08:22It is truly right and just, our duty, and our salvation always and everywhere
08:26to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God,
08:30through your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, your word,
08:33through him who made all things, and you sent us our Saviour and our Redeemer,
08:37incarnate by the Holy Spirit and one of the Virgin Mary.
08:41Fulfilling your will and proclaiming for your holy people,
08:44he still set his hands as he endured his passion,
08:47so as to break the bonds of death,
08:51and manifest the resurrection.
08:52And so, the angels and saints will declare your glory
08:55as with one voice we acclaim.
08:58Holy, holy, holy Lord God of grace.
09:02Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
09:05Hosanna in the highest.
09:07Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
09:10Hosanna in the highest.
09:15You are indeed holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness.
09:18Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray,
09:21by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall,
09:25so that they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
09:30At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his passion,
09:34he took bread.
09:36Giving thanks, he broke it, gave it to his disciples, saying,
09:39Take this, all of you, and eat of it.
09:42For this is my body, which will be given up to you.
10:00In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice,
10:03and once more did he thanks, and gave it to his disciples, saying,
10:06Take this, all of you, and drink from it.
10:08For this is the chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and eternal covenant,
10:13which will be poured out for you and for many, for the forgiveness of sins.
10:19Do this in memory of me.
10:36The mystery of faith.
10:38When we eat this bread and drink this cup,
10:41we proclaim your death, O Lord, until you come again.
10:46Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection,
10:49we offer you, Lord, the brine of life and the chalice of salvation,
10:53giving thanks, that you've held us worthy to be in your presence and to minister to you.
10:59Humbly, we pray, that partaking in the body and body of Christ,
11:03we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
11:08Remember, Lord, your church spread throughout the world.
11:11Bring her to the fullness of charity, together with Leo, our Pope, Charles, our Bishop,
11:17all the clergy, and the whole of God's people.
11:21Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep,
11:25particularly during this month,
11:28fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection,
11:30and all who have died in your mercy.
11:33Welcome them into the light of your face.
11:37Have mercy on us all, we pray,
11:39that the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
11:41St. Joseph the Spouse, the Blessed Apostle, and all the saints,
11:45who have pleased you throughout the ages,
11:48when they merit to be,
11:50go here to eternal life,
11:52and may praise and glorify you through your Son,
11:55Jesus Christ.
11:57Through him, and with him, and in him,
11:59O God Almighty, Father,
12:01in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
12:03for glory and honour is yours,
12:05for ever and ever.
12:08And let us pray together now the beautiful prayer
12:11that Jesus himself taught us to pray as a family.
12:16Our Father, who art in heaven,
12:20hallowed be thy name.
12:21Thy kingdom come,
12:23thy will be done,
12:24on earth as it is in heaven.
12:26Give us this day our daily bread,
12:29and forgive us our trespasses,
12:32as we forgive those who trespass against us.
12:35and lead us not into temptation,
12:38but deliver us from evil.
12:40Deliver us, Lord, we pray,
12:42from every evening,
12:43graciously grant peace in our day,
12:45and by the help of your mercy,
12:47may we be most free from sin,
12:49and safe from all distress,
12:52as we await the blessed hope,
12:54the coming of our Saviour,
12:56Jesus Christ.
12:57For the kingdom, the power, and the glory
13:00are yours now and forever.
13:02Lord Jesus Christ,
13:03who said to your apostles,
13:04peace I leave you,
13:06my peace I give you,
13:08look not on our sins,
13:10on the faith of your church,
13:12and graciously grant her peace and unity
13:14in accordance with your will,
13:16who live and reign forever and ever.
13:18Lord, the peace of the Lord be with you always.
13:23Let us offer each other a sign of peace,
13:25peace and unity and unity.
13:30Lamb of God,
13:32who take away the sins of the world,
13:34have mercy on us.
13:35Lamb of God,
13:37who take away the sins of the world,
13:39have mercy on us.
13:41Lamb of God,
13:42who take away the sins of the world,
13:43grant us all.
14:12Behold the Lamb of God,
14:13behold him who takes away the sins of the world,
14:16lest to those called to the supper of the Lamb,
14:20Lord,
14:20I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,
14:24but unto the same word,
14:26and my soul shall be healed.
14:29My Jesus,
14:30I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament.
14:33I love you above all things,
14:35and I desire to receive you into my soul.
14:38Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
14:42comedly, spiritually, into my heart,
14:44I embrace you as if you were already there,
14:47and unite myself wholly to you.
14:49Never permit me to be separated from you.
14:53Amen.
14:54Let us pray.
14:58May the working of your power, O Lord,
15:00increase in us, we pray,
15:03so that renewed by these heavenly sacraments,
15:07we may be prepared by your gift
15:10for receiving what they promise.
15:13And we ask this through Christ our Lord.
15:17The Lord be with you.
15:19May Almighty God bless you,
15:22Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
15:26Let us go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
15:30Thank you, everybody,
15:32and I wish you a beautiful day
15:34and a wonderful weekend.
15:37Keep safe.
15:38God bless.
15:39Thank you, God bless.
15:41Thank you, God bless.
