O God Almighty, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, grant us, we pray thee, to be grounded and settled in thy truth by the coming down of the Holy Spirit into our hearts.
That which we know not, do thou reveal; that which is wanting in us, do thou fill up; that which we know, do thou confirm; and keep us blameless in thy service, through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
– St Clement I., Pope and Martyr, c.100 A.D
Lord, have mercy. – Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy. – Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy. – Lord, have mercy.
God our Father in heaven, – have mercy on us.
God the Son, Redeemer of the world, – have mercy on us.
God the Holy Spirit, – have mercy on us.
Holy Trinity, one God, – have mercy on us.
Word made flesh and living among us,
– CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON US. (Repeat after each line)
Pure and acceptable sacrifice,
Hidden manna from above,
Living bread that came down from above,
Bread of life for a hungry world,
Chalice of blessing,
Precious blood that washes away our sins,
Memorial of God’s undying love,
Food that lasts for eternal life,
Mystery of faith,
Medicine of immortality,
Food of God’s chosen,
Perpetual presence in our tabernacles,
Viaticum of those who die in the Lord,
Pledge of future glory,
Be merciful, – SPARE US, GOOD LORD.
Be merciful, – GRACIOUSLY HEAR US, GOOD LORD.
By the great longing you had to eat the Passover with your disciples, –
GOOD LORD, DELIVER US. (Repeat after each line)
By your humility in washing their feet,
By your loving gift of this divine sacrament,
By the five wounds of your precious body,
By your sacrificial death on the cross,
By the piercing of your Sacred Heart,
By your rising to new life,
By your gift of the Paraclete Spirit,
By your return in glory to judge the living and the dead,
(Pause for spontaneous prayer.)
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, – have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, – have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, – have mercy on us.
You gave them bread from heaven to be their food, – and this bread contains all goodness.
Let us pray:
Lord Jesus Christ, you gave us the Eucharist as the memorial of your suffering and death. May our worship of this sacrament of your Body and Blood help us to experience the salvation you won for us and the peace of your kingdom, where you live with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.

REJOICE AND BE GLAD, FOR YOUR REWARD WILL BE GREAT IN HEAVEN.
Seeing the crowds, Jesus went up the hill. There he sat down and was joined by his disciples. Then he began to speak. This is what he taught them:
“How happy are the poor in spirit;
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy the gentle:
they shall have the earth for their heritage.
Happy those who mourn:
they shall be comforted.
Happy those who hunger and thirst for what is right:
they shall be satisfied.
Happy the merciful:
they shall have mercy shown them.
Happy the pure in heart:
they shall see God.
Happy the peacemakers:
they shall be called sons of God.
Happy those who are persecuted in the cause of right:
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Happy are you when people abuse you and persecute you and speak all kinds of calumny against you on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.”
V. The Gospel of the Lord.
R. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
