Senior Citizen Eucharist

Side 1

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
 
2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Amen.
 
3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Peace be with you.
 
4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,000
And also with you.
 
5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:21,400
The theme for today's mass, what return can we make to the Lord for all that he gives
 
6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,280
to us?
 
7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:29,880
We join together to praise and give thanks for the Lord's goodness, for he favors us
 
8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,880
according to his mercy and his great kindness.
 
9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:43,880
My brothers and sisters, prepare yourselves to celebrate the sacred message.
 
10
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,880
Let us draw to mind our sins.
 
11
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:53,880
Lord Jesus, Son of God, you shall wash away to the fire.
 
12
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:23,880
Lord have mercy.
 
13
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,880
Lord have mercy.
 
14
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,880
Lord Jesus, Son of Mary, you are our human weakness.
 
15
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,340
Christ have mercy.
 
16
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,260
Christ have mercy.
 
17
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,900
Lord Jesus, risen in new life, you
 
18
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:04,360
are our hope of a future glory.
 
19
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,860
Lord have mercy.
 
20
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:27,880
Lord have mercy
 
21
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,880
May Almighty God have mercy on us
 
22
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,880
Forgive us our sins
 
23
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,880
And bring us to everlasting life
 
24
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:48,880
Glory to God in the highest.
 
25
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:57,880
We praise you for your glory.
 
26
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:06,880
Glory to God in the highest.
 
27
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,180
of the Father, glory to God, and to God,
 
28
00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:15,180
who take away the sins of the world and have mercy on us,
 
29
00:03:15,180 --> 00:03:18,180
who are sinned, and who, by the name of the Father,
 
30
00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:20,180
receive our prayer.
 
31
00:03:20,180 --> 00:03:24,680
For we belong to the Lord, we belong to the Lord,
 
32
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,180
we belong to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
 
33
00:03:30,180 --> 00:03:34,180
Glory to God, and to God, amen.
 
34
00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:36,180
Let us pray.
 
35
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:44,180
God and Father of all gifts,
 
36
00:03:44,180 --> 00:03:50,180
we praise you, source of all we have and are.
 
37
00:03:50,180 --> 00:03:53,180
Teach us to acknowledge always
 
38
00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:59,180
the many great things your infinite love has given us.
 
39
00:03:59,180 --> 00:04:04,180
Help us to love you with all our heart and all our strength.
 
40
00:04:04,180 --> 00:04:08,980
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
 
41
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:13,660
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
 
42
00:04:13,660 --> 00:04:19,380
one God forever and ever.
 
43
00:04:19,380 --> 00:04:19,880
Amen.
 
44
00:04:29,180 --> 00:04:45,700
The first reading is a reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
 
45
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:53,020
The favors of the Lord I will recall, the glorious deeds of the Lord, because of all
 
46
00:04:53,020 --> 00:05:00,740
He has done for us, for He is good to the house of Israel. He has favored us
 
47
00:05:00,740 --> 00:05:08,420
according to His mercy and His great kindness. He said, They are indeed my
 
48
00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:16,140
people, children who are not disloyal. So He became their Savior in their every
 
49
00:05:16,140 --> 00:05:24,140
affliction. It was not a messenger or an angel, but he himself who saved them.
 
50
00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:32,060
Because of his love and pity, he redeemed them himself, lifting them and carrying
 
51
00:05:32,060 --> 00:05:38,660
them all the days of old. This is the word of the Lord.
 
52
00:05:46,140 --> 00:06:07,460
A reading from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians.
 
53
00:06:07,460 --> 00:06:12,940
Grace and peace from our God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
54
00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:19,940
I continually thank my God for you because of the favor he has bestowed on you in Christ
 
55
00:06:19,940 --> 00:06:27,180
Jesus, in whom you have been richly endowed with every gift of speech and knowledge.
 
56
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:34,580
Likewise, the witness I bore to Christ has been so confirmed among you that you lack
 
57
00:06:34,580 --> 00:06:41,020
no spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
58
00:06:41,020 --> 00:06:47,260
He will strengthen you to the end so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord
 
59
00:06:47,260 --> 00:06:48,820
Jesus.
 
60
00:06:48,820 --> 00:06:56,980
God is faithful and it was he who called you to fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ,
 
61
00:06:56,980 --> 00:06:58,700
our Lord.
 
62
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:00,700
This is the word of the Lord.
 
63
00:07:11,020 --> 00:07:38,680
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
 
64
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,760
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the mountainside.
 
65
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:51,760
After he had sat down, his disciples gathered around him, and he began to teach them.
 
66
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,840
How blessed are the poor in spirit!
 
67
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,120
The reign of God is theirs.
 
68
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,560
Blessed too are the sorrowing.
 
69
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,840
They shall be consoled.
 
70
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,760
Blessed are the lowly.
 
71
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,300
they shall inherit the land.
 
72
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:13,760
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for holiness,
 
73
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,600
they shall have their fill.
 
74
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,140
Blessed are they who show mercy, mercy shall be theirs.
 
75
00:08:22,140 --> 00:08:27,160
Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall see God.
 
76
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,620
Blessed too the peacemakers, they
 
77
00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:32,620
shall be called sons of God.
 
78
00:08:32,620 --> 00:08:36,380
Blessed are those persecuted for holiness' sake.
 
79
00:08:36,380 --> 00:08:39,540
The reign of God is theirs.
 
80
00:08:39,540 --> 00:08:43,500
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
 
81
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:48,180
and utter every kind of slander against you because of me.
 
82
00:08:48,180 --> 00:08:52,900
Be glad and rejoice, for your reward in heaven is great.
 
83
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:54,540
This is the gospel of the Lord.
 
84
00:08:54,540 --> 00:08:57,020
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
 
85
00:09:32,620 --> 00:09:52,060
I will give thanks to you with all my heart, O Lord, for you have answered me.
 
86
00:09:52,060 --> 00:09:57,820
Words taken from the 137th Psalm.
 
87
00:09:57,820 --> 00:10:06,460
Eminences, Bishop McDevitt, Chief Sullivan of the Mass, Your Excellencies,
 
88
00:10:06,460 --> 00:10:16,780
Reverend Fathers, and my dearly beloved brothers and sisters. We have gathered
 
89
00:10:16,780 --> 00:10:25,020
here today to make our own the words of the psalmist and to express our
 
90
00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:34,220
gratitude to the Lord for his goodness and kindness to us. He has given us
 
91
00:10:34,220 --> 00:10:49,860
length of years, some 60, some 70, some 80 like myself, some 90, and some perhaps
 
92
00:10:49,860 --> 00:10:59,980
even more. And yet over and beyond the gift of life which the Lord has given us
 
93
00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:07,260
we are profoundly grateful for the gift of his own body and blood in the Holy
 
94
00:11:07,260 --> 00:11:14,140
Eucharist which is the source of our spiritual comfort and happiness with him
 
95
00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:25,020
now and in the life to come. In the sixth chapter of the Gospel of Saint John, our
 
96
00:11:25,020 --> 00:11:35,420
Lord Jesus Christ offers himself to us as the source of all life. There he is,
 
97
00:11:35,420 --> 00:11:42,540
first of all, our bodily life. At the beginning of the chapter we read that
 
98
00:11:42,540 --> 00:11:50,340
the Lord multiplied five barley loaves and a couple of dried fish in order to
 
99
00:11:50,340 --> 00:11:59,900
feed the hungry. In this way our Savior reveals that his power is the power of
 
100
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:09,220
God the Creator who cares for the life of his creatures. But man does not live
 
101
00:12:09,220 --> 00:12:17,660
by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, as St. Matthew has
 
102
00:12:17,660 --> 00:12:20,260
written.
 
103
00:12:20,260 --> 00:12:28,140
There is in each one of us a life different from the life of the body.
 
104
00:12:28,140 --> 00:12:38,140
We also hunger and thirst for happiness, for love, for knowledge, for understanding, for
 
105
00:12:38,140 --> 00:12:45,580
justice, for an existence that is worthwhile.
 
106
00:12:45,580 --> 00:12:54,320
This is the life of the spirit of man, and we know how many men and women are willing
 
107
00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:06,960
to endure all kinds of physical misfortunes in order to satisfy this spiritual hunger.
 
108
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,320
Our Lord is also the source of this life.
 
109
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:17,520
Faith in Him satisfies our spiritual desire.
 
110
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:23,580
That is why he said, I am the bread of life.
 
111
00:13:23,580 --> 00:13:32,020
He who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.
 
112
00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:42,140
Faith in Jesus allows the believer to possess the life of Jesus himself, which is the life
 
113
00:13:42,140 --> 00:13:44,100
of God.
 
114
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:52,700
Finally, our greatest happiness is when both the body and the spirit can participate in
 
115
00:13:52,700 --> 00:14:00,060
this divine life, in this eternal life, as Jesus calls it.
 
116
00:14:00,060 --> 00:14:12,420
This life is the real life, besides which any other kind of life is but a pale shadow.
 
117
00:14:12,420 --> 00:14:20,900
Many of those who listened to Jesus questioned his ability to give them this life.
 
118
00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:30,780
His reply to them was the startling announcement of the institution of the Holy Eucharist.
 
119
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:41,340
The Holy Eucharist is, as you know, the source of divine life for both the body and the spirit.
 
120
00:14:41,340 --> 00:14:47,100
The reception of the Eucharist will bring about the wonderful miracle of the resurrection
 
121
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:56,620
of the flesh and the participation of the human body in the life of God's Spirit.
 
122
00:14:56,620 --> 00:15:07,580
This is why the Lord says, He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,
 
123
00:15:07,580 --> 00:15:13,500
and I will raise him up on the last day.
 
124
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:21,180
My dear friends, this is our faith.
 
125
00:15:21,180 --> 00:15:27,420
This is why we have come to this Congress.
 
126
00:15:27,420 --> 00:15:33,280
This is what we bring to this celebration.
 
127
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:39,200
The world today needs our witness.
 
128
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,080
It needs our presence.
 
129
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:51,600
The air is filled with mournful sounds of despair, of rebellion, of frustration, of
 
130
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,400
hopelessness.
 
131
00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:03,980
There is an illusion of immortality, the idea that life is property to be defended rather
 
132
00:16:03,980 --> 00:16:07,920
than a gift to be shared.
 
133
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:18,440
The value in deed, even the possibility of fidelity and perseverance, is questioned.
 
134
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,340
Certainly there are many reasons for this.
 
135
00:16:22,340 --> 00:16:28,260
have been disappointed so many times. Indeed, if the possibility for
 
136
00:16:28,260 --> 00:16:35,860
perseverance, fidelity, and hope depended entirely on our human strength and
 
137
00:16:35,860 --> 00:16:44,860
resources, then there would be reason to wonder whether these things are possible.
 
138
00:16:44,860 --> 00:16:53,860
This is why the world today needs the contribution of our fidelity to the faith.
 
139
00:16:53,860 --> 00:16:58,860
We have much to share with others.
 
140
00:16:58,860 --> 00:17:04,860
We have a message for all the participants of this Congress.
 
141
00:17:04,860 --> 00:17:10,860
In fact, we have a message for our society.
 
142
00:17:10,860 --> 00:17:26,860
This is our message. God is faithful. It is a simple message. It is not new. We have just heard it in the second reading of this Mass.
 
143
00:17:26,860 --> 00:17:38,860
We pray that our presence here in this celebration of our faith will help everyone to understand this message.
 
144
00:17:38,860 --> 00:17:50,300
We believe that Jesus Christ is the pledge of God's love and fidelity.
 
145
00:17:50,300 --> 00:17:58,680
The Eucharist is the celebration of God's covenant with humanity.
 
146
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:06,120
He will always be faithful to this solemn commitment to our salvation.
 
147
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:14,320
The sacred body and blood of Jesus, his presence in the Holy Eucharist, which endures until
 
148
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:23,560
the end of time, is the greatest sign of the everlasting fidelity of God.
 
149
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:34,960
The Eucharist can transform our lives to be a sign of this divine fidelity.
 
150
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:43,400
This is what we wish our many years of life to be for everyone, a sign of God's fidelity
 
151
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,780
to his covenant.
 
152
00:18:45,780 --> 00:18:55,200
For this to be so, we do not need any special talents or abilities.
 
153
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,040
All we need is faith.
 
154
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:05,860
To live all of our years secure in our faith in God's fidelity.
 
155
00:19:05,860 --> 00:19:15,480
This is our contribution to the satisfaction of the hungers of the human family, indeed
 
156
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:21,580
to the salvation of humanity.
 
157
00:19:21,580 --> 00:19:32,400
Those of you who are suffering from some infirmity can add to our message another aspect.
 
158
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:38,880
You remind us of how God revealed his love for us through the sufferings of his only
 
159
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,120
begotten Son.
 
160
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:51,520
faith unites you to Christ in such a way that your pain and your suffering
 
161
00:19:51,520 --> 00:20:00,480
become a source of grace and eternal life to both the living and the dead.
 
162
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:08,800
When you are united to the suffering of the Savior, your pain is no longer
 
163
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:19,200
useless. You may offer it in reparation for the sins of those who willfully and
 
164
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:29,920
I repeat willfully reject belief in Christ in the Holy Eucharist. My dear
 
165
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:41,240
Dear friends, for all of these reasons, this Congress is honored by your presence.
 
166
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:50,060
The Church knows how much it needs the unique contribution of your faith.
 
167
00:20:50,060 --> 00:20:59,000
As recently as May 5th of this year, the Catholic bishops of the United States declared in a
 
168
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
frank and forward-looking statement and I quote,
 
169
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:14,320
We take pride in the fact that the Catholic community has always made special efforts
 
170
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:26,360
to care for the elderly, but we also recognize that there is much still to do.
 
171
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:34,500
And what about our society, our contemporary culture?
 
172
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:43,320
Is it not in desperate need of our presence and of the witness we can give?
 
173
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:50,520
That is why the bishops began their statement in this fashion, and I quote,
 
174
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:57,520
America today, they said, faces a great paradox.
 
175
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:10,520
It is an ageing nation which worships the culture, values, and appearance of youth,
 
176
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:20,280
instead of viewing old age as an achievement and a natural stage of life
 
177
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:32,600
with its own merits, wisdom, and beauty. Our culture seems to be unhappy and
 
178
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:45,080
uncomfortable with old age. It is afraid of what it sees as the loneliness of the old,
 
179
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:55,560
but the fact is that the ones who are lonely are those who try to separate the elderly
 
180
00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:08,760
their midst. The truth is that a civilization is truly and properly
 
181
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:16,040
developed and blessed by the Lord that respects and cares for the elderly and
 
182
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:24,080
the youth of the nation. Let us reach out our hand of compassion and remind
 
183
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:32,420
everyone that life is a gift from God and is to be shared. Let us tell them
 
184
00:23:32,420 --> 00:23:43,680
that old age is not a disease but a maturing process of life. It is true
 
185
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:51,400
because of the tragedy of original sin. Our bodies are wounded by this maturing
 
186
00:23:51,400 --> 00:24:01,520
process and our souls need God's grace to reach perfection. But as we grow old
 
187
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:12,640
we gain something precious, a new awareness of that which is lasting and
 
188
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:20,640
and eternal, namely, life in union with God.
 
189
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:28,100
This truth, more thoroughly revealed by the passing of years, can light up the present
 
190
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:37,660
for ourselves and for others, and give new hope and meaning to the lives of our friends
 
191
00:24:37,660 --> 00:24:41,840
and associates.
 
192
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:53,160
Now in this connection, let us take care that our contribution is not weakened by paralyzing
 
193
00:24:53,160 --> 00:25:02,280
regrets concerning our past mistakes and sins.
 
194
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:11,160
The very message that we proclaim today, the message of God's fidelity, reminds us that
 
195
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:21,980
our God is a God of mercy and of love. Did he not forgive Peter who denied he
 
196
00:25:21,980 --> 00:25:31,040
knew him? He forgave Mary Magdalene and he promised the good thief that he would
 
197
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:40,720
on the very day of the crucifixion be with him in paradise. Nothing that we can
 
198
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:49,560
do or have done can take away his offer of forgiveness and grace. In the
 
199
00:25:49,560 --> 00:26:01,000
sacrament of penance we hear his word of mercy inviting us to leave our past in
 
200
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:09,840
his hands. The readings of today's liturgy will sum up our message. In the
 
201
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:15,960
first reading the Prophet Isaiah speaks of God's fidelity. This is the fidelity
 
202
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:22,320
to which our long lives of faith can testify. We can make our own the words of
 
203
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:30,200
the Prophet. The favors of the Lord I will recall, he says, the glorious deeds of the
 
204
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:38,720
Lord because of all he has done for us, lifting us and carrying us all the days
 
205
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:47,500
of our lives. If our faith allows us to say this, it is not because of any merit
 
206
00:26:47,500 --> 00:26:55,520
on our part. It is God who has saved us. As St. Paul writes to the Corinthians,
 
207
00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:04,840
as read in today's second lesson from Scripture, God is faithful. By whom you
 
208
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:14,480
were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. The Beatitudes
 
209
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:22,000
in today's Gospel indicate the attitude of heart which our long life has taught
 
210
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:29,160
us to recognize as favorable before the Lord. The Beatitudes call happy or
 
211
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:40,020
blessed, those who have come to realize that all their help must come from God,
 
212
00:27:40,020 --> 00:27:48,180
that only God is absolutely faithful and reliable.
 
213
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:54,900
Earlier in this discourse I spoke of the great hunger for hope in our world today,
 
214
00:27:54,900 --> 00:28:05,900
of the sad disillusionment brought about by broken promises and unfilled aspirations.
 
215
00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:11,900
It is true that the hungers of the human family are many and intense.
 
216
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:17,900
The hunger for justice and freedom is common among many others.
 
217
00:28:17,900 --> 00:28:24,900
No one of us, nor all of us together, can hope to satisfy them all.
 
218
00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:31,900
But while no one can do everything, everyone can do something.
 
219
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:40,900
So, we thank God for all the assistance given to us by the many individuals and associations
 
220
00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:45,900
in the Church, in our society, and in our government,
 
221
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,240
concerned with our welfare.
 
222
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Pope John XXIII, in his encyclical, Peace on Earth,
 
223
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,320
reminded us of this obligation,
 
224
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,440
to care for the needs of one another.
 
225
00:29:03,140 --> 00:29:03,980
He wrote,
 
226
00:29:03,980 --> 00:29:15,980
Every person, he said, has the right to life, to bodily integrity, and to the means which are suitable for the proper development of life.
 
227
00:29:15,980 --> 00:29:30,980
These are primarily food, clothing, shelter, rest, medical care, and finally the necessary social services.

Side 2

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,680
A human being also has the right to security in cases of sickness, inability to work, old
2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:21,160
age, unemployment, or in any other case in which he is deprived of the means of subsistence
3
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:27,400
through no fault of his own.
4
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:34,920
May this Eucharistic Congress give everyone the graces to respond to this mission of charity
5
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,440
for our neighbors in need.
6
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:46,480
If we are united in Christ, then there is much we can do with the power of faith and
7
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:53,840
with the assistance of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of the Church, who will be
8
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:59,080
our companion in this pilgrimage.
9
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:10,800
Go then and do your work of ennobling and enriching the lives of those around you in
10
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,880
the strength of this sacramental food.
11
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:23,560
Go and spread about in the world the power of love and happiness because you have in
12
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:36,320
Eucharist, love within you. You are abiding in him and he in you. Whether the
13
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:44,920
road ahead is long or short, there is much that we can give, much that we can
14
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:56,600
do. Our pace may be slow, but we have still many a mile to go. For every step
15
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:06,000
along the way can bring happiness to others. May God bless us all today and
16
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,280
always. God love you.
17
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:43,980
of the Holy Spirit.
18
00:02:43,980 --> 00:02:48,980
I am coming to die for the love of my people,
19
00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:50,980
and the people of the Father.
20
00:02:50,980 --> 00:02:52,980
For when we all come to His name,
21
00:02:52,980 --> 00:02:55,980
we are blessed and give our salvation.
22
00:02:55,980 --> 00:02:57,980
He will help us.
23
00:02:57,980 --> 00:03:00,980
The power of our Lord is with you.
24
00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:02,980
He will pour out His mercy on you.
25
00:03:02,980 --> 00:03:04,980
He will give you His hand.
26
00:03:04,980 --> 00:03:07,980
Our salvation is with the Father.
27
00:03:07,980 --> 00:03:10,980
He shall provide for you.
28
00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:15,980
On the third day, he will join me in the world of his mysteries.
29
00:03:15,980 --> 00:03:20,480
In this second covenant, we receive the third man of God.
30
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,980
He will come in the glory of the church and in the name of the
31
00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:26,980
living, and his kingdom will be upon him.
32
00:03:26,980 --> 00:03:31,480
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, and the Holy Ghost,
33
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,480
who proceeds from the Father and the Son, and the Father and the
34
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,480
Son, and the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Spirit
35
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,480
of the cross, we believe in one Lord,
36
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,980
and have no contest upon the church,
37
00:03:44,980 --> 00:03:46,980
but hear the voice of one master
38
00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:48,980
through whose visions we see.
39
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:51,480
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
40
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,480
but lay down our lives upon him.
41
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,480
Gather together as brothers and sisters in Christ.
42
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,980
Let us thank God for the favours he has bestowed on us,
43
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:13,420
and ask him to hear our requests.
44
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:16,740
Happy are we who hunger and thirst for holiness.
45
00:04:22,580 --> 00:04:27,300
Father, may we be filled with your heavenly gifts.
46
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:31,820
Happy are we who are poor in spirit.
47
00:04:31,820 --> 00:04:35,420
Father, may we be filled with your heavenly gifts.
48
00:04:35,420 --> 00:04:38,300
Father, may we, by our faith and love,
49
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:41,660
be reunited in the glory of your kingdom.
50
00:04:41,660 --> 00:04:45,300
Father, may we be filled with your heavenly gifts.
51
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:49,740
Happy are we who show mercy.
52
00:04:49,740 --> 00:04:53,900
Father, may we be filled with your heavenly gifts.
53
00:04:53,900 --> 00:04:57,060
Father, may we who all abide in faith
54
00:04:57,060 --> 00:05:00,020
implore the mercy of Christ, your Son,
55
00:05:00,020 --> 00:05:03,700
and trust in his goodness to help us in our needs.
56
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:08,140
Father, may we be filled with your heavenly gifts.
57
00:05:08,140 --> 00:05:12,300
Happy are we who are gentle and pure of heart.
58
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:17,260
Father, may we be filled with your heavenly gifts.
59
00:05:17,260 --> 00:05:21,140
Father, teach us to use wisely the good things
60
00:05:21,140 --> 00:05:24,940
you have given us, that they will lead us closer to you
61
00:05:24,940 --> 00:05:28,140
and to the eternal blessings you promise us.
62
00:05:28,140 --> 00:05:32,340
Father, may we be filled with your heavenly gifts.
63
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:34,340
Happy are we who are peacemakers!
64
00:05:34,340 --> 00:05:39,340
Father, may our suffering brothers and sisters have their sorrow turned into lasting joy.
65
00:05:39,340 --> 00:05:50,980
Father, may it be filled with your heavenly gifts.
66
00:05:50,980 --> 00:05:55,500
Let us be glad and rejoice, for our reward in heaven is great.
67
00:05:55,500 --> 00:06:02,500
Father in Heaven, we place ourselves before you.
68
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:11,900
We have many needs that we cannot express, but you know them.
69
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:18,900
Hear us and answer the prayers of all who believe in you.
70
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,900
Amen.
71
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:55,900
Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.
72
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:58,900
Through your goodness we have this bread to offer,
73
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:00,900
which earth has given and human hands have made.
74
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:03,900
It will become for us the bread of life.
75
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:05,900
Blessed be God forever.
76
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:44,900
And I am not a monk—not Phalike Sena.
77
00:07:44,900 --> 00:08:08,140
God of all creation, through your goodness we have this wine to offer, fruit of the vine
78
00:08:08,140 --> 00:08:10,140
and work of human hands.
79
00:08:10,140 --> 00:08:13,140
It will become our spiritual drink.
80
00:08:38,140 --> 00:08:45,140
Pray, brethren and sisters, that your sacrifice may be acceptable to Almighty God.
81
00:08:45,140 --> 00:08:53,460
and sisters, that my, that your sacrifice may be acceptable to Almighty God.
82
00:08:53,460 --> 00:09:00,460
Lord, we offer you this sacrifice at your feet, for our good and the good of all humanity.
83
00:09:00,460 --> 00:09:01,300
Amen.
84
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,100
Lord, we offer you this sacrifice of praise
85
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:15,260
for all you have given us.
86
00:09:16,340 --> 00:09:20,140
Even though we are unworthy of your love,
87
00:09:20,140 --> 00:09:22,520
may we always use your many gifts
88
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,320
to bring glory to your name.
89
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,320
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
90
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,320
Amen.
91
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,280
The Lord be with you.
92
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,760
And also with you.
93
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,240
Lift up your hearts.
94
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,200
We lift them up to the Lord.
95
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,200
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
96
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:09,200
It is right to give Him thanks and praise.
97
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:15,200
Father, O powerful and ever-living God,
98
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:23,200
We do well always and everywhere to give You thanks.

00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:32,160
You have no need of our praise, yet our desire to thank you
100
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,880
is itself your gift.
101
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:44,600
Our prayer of thanksgiving adds nothing to your greatness,
102
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:53,640
But make us grow in your grace through Jesus Christ our Lord.
103
00:10:53,640 --> 00:11:03,400
In our joy we sing to your glory with all the choirs of angels.
104
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:31,160

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest.
113
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:46,200
Father, you are holy indeed, and all creation rightly gives you praise.
114
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:52,120
All life, all holiness comes from you, through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, by the working
115
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,000
of the Holy Spirit.
116
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,060
From age to age you gather a people to yourself, so that from east to west a perfect offering
117
00:13:59,060 --> 00:14:02,580
may be made to the glory of your name.
118
00:14:02,580 --> 00:14:05,860
And so, Father, we bring you these gifts.
119
00:14:05,860 --> 00:14:09,740
We ask you to make them holy by the power of your Spirit,
120
00:14:09,740 --> 00:14:13,100
that they may become the body and blood of your Son,
121
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:16,140
our Lord Jesus Christ, at whose command
122
00:14:16,140 --> 00:14:19,060
we celebrate this Eucharist.
123
00:14:19,060 --> 00:14:22,100
On the night he was betrayed, he took bread
124
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:24,420
and gave you thanks and praise.
125
00:14:24,420 --> 00:14:27,420
He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples,
126
00:14:27,420 --> 00:14:31,620
and said, take this, all of you, and eat it.
127
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:35,180
This is my body, which will be given up for you.
128
00:14:46,060 --> 00:14:48,980
When supper was ended, he took the cup.
129
00:14:48,980 --> 00:14:53,420
Again he gave thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples
130
00:14:53,420 --> 00:14:57,900
and said, take this, all of you, and drink from it.
131
00:14:57,900 --> 00:15:00,780
This is the cup of my blood, the blood
132
00:15:00,780 --> 00:15:03,420
of the new and everlasting covenant.
133
00:15:03,420 --> 00:15:06,460
It will be shed for you and for all men,
134
00:15:06,460 --> 00:15:09,060
so that sins may be forgiven.
135
00:15:09,060 --> 00:15:11,260
Do this in memory of me.
136
00:15:11,260 --> 00:15:26,740
Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.
137
00:15:26,740 --> 00:15:33,740
When we eat this bread and drink this cup,
138
00:15:33,740 --> 00:15:40,740
we proclaim your death, Lord Jesus,
139
00:15:40,740 --> 00:15:46,740
until you come in glory.
140
00:15:46,740 --> 00:15:56,740
Until you come in glory
141
00:15:57,740 --> 00:16:04,740
When we eat this bread and drink this wine
142
00:16:04,740 --> 00:16:10,740
We proclaim your death, Lord Jesus
143
00:16:10,740 --> 00:16:14,720
until you come in glory.
144
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,060
Father, call into mind the death your Son endured
145
00:16:30,060 --> 00:16:34,340
for our salvation, His glorious resurrection and ascension
146
00:16:34,340 --> 00:16:38,260
into heaven, and ready to greet Him when He comes again,
147
00:16:38,260 --> 00:16:43,020
We offer you in thanksgiving this holy and living sacrifice.
148
00:16:43,020 --> 00:16:45,780
Look with favor on your church's offering
149
00:16:45,780 --> 00:16:49,900
and see the victim whose death has reconciled us to yourself.
150
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:53,460
Grant that we who are nourished by his body and blood
151
00:16:53,460 --> 00:16:55,780
may be filled with his Holy Spirit
152
00:16:55,780 --> 00:16:59,980
and become one body, one spirit in Christ.
153
00:16:59,980 --> 00:17:03,860
May he make us an everlasting gift to you
154
00:17:03,860 --> 00:17:08,060
and enable us to share in the inheritance of your saints
155
00:17:08,060 --> 00:17:11,160
with Mary, the Virgin Mother of God,
156
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,280
with the apostles, the martyrs,
157
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,620
Saint Joseph, the patron of the universal church
158
00:17:17,620 --> 00:17:19,880
and the patron of a happy death,
159
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,980
and all your saints on whose constant intercession
160
00:17:23,980 --> 00:17:26,040
we rely for help.
161
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,160
Lord, may this sacrifice,

Father, hear the prayers of the family

you have gathered here before you.
170
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,920
In mercy and love, unite all your children
171
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,560
wherever they may be.
172
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:04,080
Welcome into your kingdom our departed brothers and sisters
173
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,580
and all who have left this world in your friendship.
174
00:18:07,580 --> 00:18:11,620
We hope to enjoy forever the vision of your glory
175
00:18:11,620 --> 00:18:15,380
through Christ our Lord, from whom all good things come.
176
00:18:24,140 --> 00:18:29,100
Through him, with him, in him, in him,
177
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:33,380
in him, we are the Holy Spirit.
178
00:18:33,380 --> 00:18:43,860
All glory and honor is yours, O mighty Father, forever and ever.
179
00:18:43,860 --> 00:18:45,880
After we had left Thanksgiving to have $46 per day.
180
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,900
The ass $48 of a year before receiving baccalaureate degree
181
00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:52,860
of PhD, when the
182
00:18:54,860 --> 00:18:56,860
post-medical center give us a lot of money.
183
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:00,500
Maybe in that year of glory, we
184
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,140
may have a path to an opportunity of
185
00:19:04,140 --> 00:19:12,980

we should ask each one of you to recite the Our Father
189
00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:53,220
and his or her native tongue.
190
00:19:56,220 --> 00:19:59,340
Let us ask our Father to forgive our sins
191
00:19:59,340 --> 00:20:03,060
and to bring us to forgive those who sin against us.
192
00:20:03,060 --> 00:20:08,020
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
193
00:20:08,020 --> 00:20:11,380
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
194
00:20:11,380 --> 00:20:13,860
on earth as it is in heaven.
195
00:20:13,860 --> 00:20:16,820
Give us this day our daily bread,
196
00:20:16,820 --> 00:20:20,220
and forgive us our trespasses, as we
197
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:23,180
to heal the others who trespass against us,
198
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:27,660
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
199
00:20:27,660 --> 00:20:28,160
Amen.
200
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,540
Let's sing this, shall we?
201
00:20:29,540 --> 00:20:31,620
Deliver us, Lord, from every evil
202
00:20:31,620 --> 00:20:34,820
and grant us peace in our day.
203
00:20:34,820 --> 00:20:38,300
In your mercy, keep us free from sin
204
00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:42,660
and protect us from all anxiety as we
205
00:20:42,660 --> 00:20:45,740
wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior,
206
00:20:45,740 --> 00:20:47,140
Jesus Christ.
207
00:20:50,220 --> 00:21:04,180
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours,
208
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:06,160
now and forevermore.
209
00:21:15,620 --> 00:21:18,980
Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles,
210
00:21:18,980 --> 00:21:21,980
I leave you peace, my peace I give you.
211
00:21:21,980 --> 00:21:25,320
Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your church,
212
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,980
and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom,
213
00:21:27,980 --> 00:21:30,100
