00:14In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, peace be with you.
00:20We acknowledge our sins, but more importantly, the compassion, the mercy, and the love of God.
00:28Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
00:34May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and lead us into healing and life everlasting.
00:42Let us pray.
00:44Grant us, we pray, O Lord our God, the constant gladness of being devoted to you,
00:49for it is full and lasting happiness to share with constancy the author of all of his good.
00:56Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
01:03God, forever and ever. Amen.
01:09A reading from the second letter of St. John.
01:13It has given me great joy to find that your children have been living the life of truth as we
01:20were commanded by the Father.
01:23I'm writing now, dear lady, not to give you any new commandment, but the one which we were given at
01:31the beginning,
01:32and to plead, let us love one another.
01:38To love is to live according to his commandments.
01:42This is the commandment which you have heard since the beginning, to live a life of love.
01:51There are many deceivers about in the world, refusing to admit that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh.
02:01They are the deceiver.
02:03They are the antichrist.
02:06Watch yourselves, for all our work will be lost and not get the reward it deserves.
02:13If anybody does not keep within the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it, they cannot have God with them.
02:24Only those who keep to what he taught can have the Father and the Son with them.
02:35The word of the Lord.
02:37Thanks be to God.
02:39Happy are they who follow the law of the Lord.
02:43Happy are they who follow the law of the Lord.
02:47They are happy whose life is blameless, who follow God's law.
02:52They are happy who do his will, seeking him with all their hearts.
02:58Happy are they who follow the law of the Lord.
03:03I have sought you with all my heart.
03:05Let me not stray from your commands.
03:08I treasure your promise in my heart, lest I sin against you.
03:13Happy are they who follow the law of the Lord.
03:18Bless your servant, and I shall live and obey your word.
03:22Open my eyes, that I may see the wonders of your law.
03:29Happy are they who follow the law of the Lord.
03:34Alleluia, alleluia.
03:36Lift up your heads and see.
03:38Your redemption is near at hand.
03:40Alleluia.
03:43The Lord be with you.
03:46A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
03:50Glory to you, O Lord.
03:53Jesus said to his disciples,
03:55As it was in Noah's day, so will it also be in the days of the Son of Man.
04:01People were eating and drinking, marrying wives and husbands,
04:06right up to the day when Noah went into the ark.
04:10And the flood came and destroyed them all.
04:14It will be the same as it was in Lord's day.
04:17People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
04:24But the day Lot left Sodom, God rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and it destroyed them all.
04:32And it will be the same when the day comes for the Son of Man to be revealed.
04:38When the day comes, anyone on the housetops, with their possessions in the house, must not come down to collect
04:47them.
04:47Nor must anyone in the fields turn back either.
04:52Remember, Lord's wife.
04:54Anyone who tries to preserve their life will lose it.
04:58And anyone who loses their life, and anyone who loses it, will keep it safe.
05:04I tell you, on that night, there will be in one bed, one will be taken, the other left.
05:12Two women will be grinding corn together, one will be taken, the other left.
05:18The disciples interrupted.
05:21Where, Lord?
05:22They asked.
05:24He said, where the body is, there too will be vultures gather.
05:34The Gospel of the Lord.
05:37Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
05:41We are approaching the time of the end of the liturgical year.
05:47In two weeks, we start Advent.
05:50Hence, the readings about the end times.
05:54Warning us not to settle for what is not permanent.
06:00To remember the whole journey.
06:04That beautiful reading from the first reading about love reminds us to make choices to love.
06:13To make choices to love.
06:16To continue loving.
06:17And not to settle for what is less good and less important.
06:24So let's look at the full picture.
06:27And make the right choices.
06:29Within the framework and the ambient of love.
06:36Love sustains us.
06:38We are created in love.
06:41And this love that fulfills us.
06:50Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation.
06:52For to your goodness we have this bread to offer.
06:55Which earth has given you and hands have made.
06:57It will become for us the bread of life.
07:00Blessed be God forever.
07:06Amen.
07:08Amen.
07:09Amen.
07:09Amen.
07:11Amen.
07:12Amen.
07:32Let us pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours.
07:42Be acceptable to God, our Almighty Father.
07:45May the Lord accept the sacrifice at our hands.
07:48With the praise and glory of God's name.
07:51For our good and the good of God's Holy Church.
07:54Grant, O Lord, we pray.
07:55That what we offer in the sight of your majesty.
07:59May obtain for us the grace of being devoted to you.
08:02And gain us the prize of everlasting happiness.
08:06Through Christ our Lord.
08:08Amen.
08:13The Lord be with you.
08:15Lift up your hearts.
08:17Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
08:21It is truly right and just.
08:23Our duty and our salvation.
08:25Always and everywhere to give you thanks, Father most holy.
08:29To your beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
08:31Your word to whom you made all things.
08:34Whom you sent as our Savior and Redeemer.
08:37Father, incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin.
08:41Fulfilling your will and gaining for you a holy people.
08:44He stretched out his hands as he endured his passion.
08:48So as to break the bonds of death and manifest the resurrection.
08:53And so with the angels and all the saints who declare your glory.
08:56As with one voice we acclaim.
08:59Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts.
09:03Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
09:06Hosanna in the highest.
09:08Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
09:12Hosanna in the highest.
09:15You are indeed holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness.
09:19Make holy therefore these gifts, we pray.
09:22By 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.
09:35He took bread.
09:37And giving thanks, broke it.
09:39And gave it to his disciples.
09:42Saying, take this all of you and eat of it.
09:45For this is my body which will be given up for you.
09:56In a similar way when supper was ended he took the chalice.
10:00And once more giving thanks.
10:02He gave it to his disciples saying, take this all of you and drink from it.
10:07For this is the chalice of my blood.
10:10The blood of the new and eternal covenant which will be poured out for you and for many.
10:17For the forgiveness of sins.
10:20Do this in memory of me.
10:32We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your resurrection until you come again.
10:42Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the bread of life and
10:48the chalice of salvation.
10:50Giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you.
10:57Humbly we pray that partaking of the body and blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the
11:04Holy Spirit.
11:06Remember, Lord, your church spread throughout the world and bring her to the fullness of charity.
11:13Together with Cleo, our Pope, me, your unworthy servant and all the clergy.
11:20Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection and all who have
11:26died in your mercy.
11:28Welcome them into the light of your face.
11:32Have mercy on us all, we pray, that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
11:39Blessed Joseph, her spouse, with the blessed Apostles, and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages,
11:46we may merit to be coerced to eternal life and may praise and glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ.
11:57Through him and with him and in him, O God Almighty, Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
12:04all glory and honour is yours for ever and ever. Amen.
12:11In the Saviour's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say,
12:17Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
12:22Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
12:27Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,
12:32as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
12:40Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil.
12:43Graciously grant peace in our days, that by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin
12:50and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
12:58For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever.
13:03Lord Jesus Christ, who has said to your apostles,
13:06Peace I leave you, my peace I give you.
13:09Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your church,
13:12and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will,
13:17who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.
13:20The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always.
13:24Let us offer each other a sign of peace.
13:27Peace be with you all.
13:29Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
13:35Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
13:41Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
14:05Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.
14:09Happy are those who are called to the supper of the Lamb.
14:11Lord, I am not worthy you should enter under my roof, but only say the word of my soul shall
14:17be healed.
14:19My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament.
14:24I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
14:29Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
14:32comidly, spiritually, into my heart,
14:34I embrace you as if you were already there, and unite myself wholly to you.
14:40Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
14:44Let us pray.
14:46We have partaken of the gifts of the sacred mystery, humbly glorying, O Lord,
14:52that what your Son commanded us to do,
14:54in memory of him, may bring us growth in charity,
14:58through Christ our Lord. Amen.
15:00The Lord be with you, and may the peace and the blessing of the Father and of the Son
15:05and of the Holy Spirit come upon you and remain always with you.
15:09Let us go and proclaim the gospel by our lives.
15:13Thanks be to God. God bless you.
