A new commandment I give unto you,
that you love one another as I have loved you,

if you have love one for another.

GLORIA
Glory be to God in heaven

Let all creatures praise the Lord

And we bow to praise His name

Take away our sins
You who sit at Gods right hand
To you honour, praise today

RESPONSORIAL PSALM (102) The Lord
is compassion and love, slow to
anger and rich in mercy.
Acclamation: My sheep hear my
voice, says the Lord; I know them
and they follow me. Alleluia!
I believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin
Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day in accordance with
the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and
the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and
glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen
us to forgive as you forgive us.

LAMB OF GOD
Lamb of the Father, hear our prayer,
Save us and grant us your peace

Of Him from whom all peace comes
COMMUNION HYMN
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 my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath 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.

As I kneel before you, As I bow my head in prayer,
Take this day, make it yours and fill me with your
love.

Dominus tecum, Benedicta tu.

All I have I give you, Every dream and wish are

yours,

Ev'ry thought, ev'ry word Is lost in your embrace.
