THE WORD For the rest of this year is based on the Gospel of LUKE (or did you know that anyway?)

FIRST READING ZECHARIAH They will look upon the one whom they have pierced

Psalm 62: Response O God you are my God alone Whom eagerly I seek Though longing fills my soul with thirst And leaves my body weak. Just like a dry and barren land Awaits a freshening shower I long within your house to see Your glory and your power

Your faithful love surpasses life Evoking all my praise Through every day to bless your name My hands in joy I’ll raise. My deepest needs you satisfy As with a sumptuous feast So on my lips and in my heart Your praise has never ceased

Throughout the night I lie in bed And call you Lord to mind In darkest hours I meditate How God my strength is kind Beneath the shadow of your wing I live and feel secure And daily as I follow close Your right hand keeps me sure

EPISTLE GALATIANS In faith you are all children of God

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Alleluia (Plainchant)

GOSPEL LUKE Jesus asks: who do people think I am?

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

THE LORD’S PRAYER If English is not your first language you are encouraged to say this prayer in the language in which you first learned it The peace of the Lord be with you And with your spirit

Lamb of God you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us (x2) Lamb of God you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace

Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof. But only say the word and my soul shall be healed

Communion Procession Bless the Lord my soul and bless God’s holy name Bless the Lord my soul who leads me into life.

Buoninsegna: who do people think I am? Buoninsegna: who do people think I am?

POSTCOMMUNION Be still for the presence of the Lord the Holy One is here. Come bow before him now with reverence and fear. In him no sin is found, we stand on holy ground, be still for the presence of the Lord, the Holy One is here. Be still for the glory of the Lord is shining all around. He burns with holy fire, with splendour he is crowned. How awesome is the sight, our radiant King of light, be still for the glory of the Lord is shining all around.
