THE WORD this year is based on the Gospel of LUKE. The first reading (from the Old Testament) is linked to the Gospel passage. The second reading (from St Paul) is continuous but not connected to the other readings.

FIRST READING Exodus Go down Moses !

Psalm 50 Response: the Lord is my light and my help, Whom shall I fear?

EPISTLE St Paul to Timothy 1.12 Paul’s conversion an example to all

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Alleluia (Plainchant)

GOSPEL Luke Who cares about the lost?

APOSTLES’ CREED I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen

PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL In response to the Gospel, anyone may try and say a prayer, ending: Lord in your mercy….. Missal suggests 4 intentions That our church might….. That our society might….. That our parish might….. At this special time we might.. PLEASE NOTE: these prayers are for us here. Those who are absent (the poor, refugees, sick, dead etc) should be remembered at the “memento” during the Eucharistic prayer

COMMUNION PROCESSION Eat this bread, drink this cup Come to me and never be hungry Eat this bread, drink this cup Trust in me and you will not thirst.

POSTCOMMUNION Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now am found Was blind but now I see. Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace relieved my fears How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers toils and snares I have already come Tis grace that brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures Words by John Newton, converted slaver
