INTRODUCTORY RITES
ENTRANCE SONG
After the people have assembled, the priest and the ministers go to the altar
while the entrance song is being sung. If there is no singing, the entrance
antiphon is read:

When the priest comes to the altar, he makes the customary reverence with the
ministers, kisses the altar and (if incense is used) incenses it. Then, with the
ministers, he goes to the chair.

GREETING
After the entrance song, the priest and the faithful remain standing and make the
sign of the cross, as the priest says:

In the name of the Father, and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit.
All: Amen.

The Lord be with you.

All: And with your spirit.

If the bishop presides:

Peace be with you.

All: And with your spirit.

The presider or another suitable minister briefly introduces the celebration.

PENITENTIAL ACT
Then follows the Penitential Act, to which the presider invites the faithful saying:
Brothers and sisters, let us acknowledge our sins,
and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries.
A brief pause for silence follows. Then all recited together the formula of general
confession:
I confess to almighty God,
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,

They strike their breasts while saying:

through my fault, through my fault,

through my most grievous fault;
Then they continue:

and I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin,

all the angels and saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
The absolution of the priest follows:

May almighty God have mercy on us,

forgive us our sins,
and bring us to everlasting life.
R. Amen.

The invocations, Lord, have mercy, follow, unless they have already been used in
one of the forms of the act of penance.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

 READING I
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 2:1-11

When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled,

they were all in one place together.
And suddenly there came from the sky
a noise like a strong driving wind,
and it filled the entire house in which they were.
Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire,
which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
and began to speak in different tongues,
as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven
staying in Jerusalem.
At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd,
but they were confused
because each one heard them speaking in his own
language.
They were astounded, and in amazement they asked,
"Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?
Then how does each of us hear them in his native language?
We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites,
inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia,
Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia,
Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene,
as well as travelers from Rome,
both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs,
yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues
of the mighty acts of God."

The word of the Lord.

R. Thanks be to God.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 104:1, 24, 29-30, 31, 34

R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

Bless the LORD, O my soul!

O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!
How manifold are your works, O LORD!
the earth is full of your creatures;

R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

May the glory of the LORD endure forever;

may the LORD be glad in his works!
Pleasing to him be my theme;
I will be glad in the LORD.

R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

If you take away their breath, they perish

and return to their dust.
When you send forth your spirit, they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.

R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

 GOSPEL

The Lord be with you.

R. And with your spirit.

 A reading from the holy Gospel according to John 20:19-23

On the evening of that first day of the week,

when the doors were locked,
where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in their midst
and said to them, "Peace be with you."
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and
his side.
The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, so I send you."
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said
to them,
"Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain are retained."

The Gospel of the Lord.

R. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

As the assembly sings again the Gospel acclamation, the deacon carries the book of the
Gospels to Bishop who, as a sign of reverence, kisses it and blesses the congregation.

LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

PREPARATION OF THE ALTAR AND THE GIFTS

During the preparation of the gifts, an Offertory Hymn is sung and the altar table is
prepared by the deacons and the acolytes.

When the Altar and the gifts have been prepared, the presider takes the paten with the
bread and holding it slightly raised above the altar says:

Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.

Through your goodness we have this bread to offer,
Which earth has given and human hands have made.
It will become for us the bread of life.
R. Blessed be God forever

A concelebrant pours wine and a little water into the chalice saying inaudibly:

By the mystery of this water and wine

may we come to share in the divinity of Christ,
who humbled himself to share in our humanity.

Then the presider takes the chalice and, holding it slightly raised above the altar says:

Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.

Through your goodness we have this wine to offer,
Fruit of the vine and work of human hands.
It will become our spiritual drink.
R. Blessed be God forever

The presider bows and says inaudibly:

Lord God, we ask you to receive us

And be pleased with the sacrifice we offer you
With humble and contrite hearts.

He now incenses the offerings and the altar. Afterwards, a minister incenses the
presider, then the Concelebrants and the faithful.

11
 Next the presider stands at the side of the altar and washes his hands saying inaudibly:

Lord, wash away my iniquity;

Cleanse me from my sin.

The presider:
Pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours may be
acceptable to God, the Almighty Father.

All: May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your

Hands for the praise and glory of His
name, for our good, and the good of all His Church.

PRAYER OVER THE GIFTS

The presider:

Sanctify the gifts of our offering,

we beseech you, Lord,
and cleanse our hearts by the brightness of the Holy Spirit.
Through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.

12
PREFACE

V: The Lord be with you.

R: And with your spirit.

V: Lift up your hearts.

R: We lift them up to the Lord.

V: Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God.

R: It is right and just.

It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,

always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God,
through Christ our Lord.

Ascending in glory above the highest heaven

and seated at your right hand in power and majesty,
Christ poured out the promised Spirit upon your adopted children.
You give that same Spirit still to your Church
as the wellspring of all holiness,
revealing the riches of Christ through many gifts
and bringing to us the fruits of your boundless love.

And so, with all the choirs of angels,

we praise your glory now and forever,
as with one voice we sing:
SANCTUS
The Choir and the assembly sing the Sanctus.

13
 EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II

The Archbishop, with hands extended, says:

You are indeed Holy, O Lord,

the fountain of all holiness.
He joins his hands and holding them outstretched over the offerings, says:

Archbishop with Concelebrants.

Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray,

by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall,
He joins his hands and, making the sign of the cross once over both bread and chalice,
says:

so that they may become for us

the Body  and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He joins his hands, and continues:

At the time he was betrayed

and entered willingly into his Passion,
He takes the bread and, raising it a little above the altar, continues:

he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it,

and gave it to his disciples, saying:
He bows slightly.

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT:

FOR THIS IS MY BODY
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
He shows the consecrated host to the people, places it on the paten, and genuflects in
adoration.

14
Then he continues:

In a similar way, when supper was ended,

He takes the chalice and, raising it a little above the altar, continues:

he took the chalice

and, once more giving thanks,
he gave it to his disciples, saying:
He bows slightly.

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT,

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW
AND ETERNAL COVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU
AND FOR MANY
FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.

He shows the chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects in adoration.

Archbishop:

The mystery of faith:

The choir and the assembly sing the acclamation:

We proclaim your Death, O Lord,

and profess your Resurrection
until you come again.

15
 Then with hands extended, the celebrant says:
Archbishop with Concelebrants.
Therefore, as we celebrate
the memory of his death and resurrection,
we offer you, Lord,
the Bread of life and the Chalice of salvation,
giving thanks that you have held us worthy
to be in your presence and minister to you.

Humbly we pray
that, partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ
we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
Concelebrant One:
Remember, Lord, your Church
spread throughout the world,
and bring her to the fullness of charity
together with Francis, our Pope,
Sergio, our bishop,
and all the clergy.

Concelebrant Two:
Remember our brothers and sisters
who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection,
and all who have died in your mercy:
welcome them into the light of your face.
Have mercy on us all, we pray,
that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
with Blessed Joseph, her Spouse,
with the Blessed Apostles, and all the Saints
who have pleased you throughout the ages.
we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life,
and may praise and glorify you
He joins his hands.

Through your Son, Jesus Christ.

The Archbishop takes the paten with the host and the concelebrant takes the chalice,
lifting them up, says:

16
Archbishop with Concelebrants.

Through him, and with him, and in him,

O God, almighty Father
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is yours,
for ever and ever.
R. Amen.

17
 COMMUNION RITE

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Jesus taught us to call God our Father,

and so we have the courage to say:
The assembly sings the Ama Namin.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed bethy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.

The Presider with hands extended, continues alone:

Deliver us, Lord, from every evil,

and grant us peace in our day.
In your mercy keep us free from sin
and protect us from all anxiety
as we wait in joyful hope
for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

R. For the kingdom, the power,

and the glory are yours, now and for ever.

18
SIGN OF PEACE

Presider:

Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles:

I leave you peace, my peace I give you.
Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church,
and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom
where you live for ever and ever.
R. Amen.

Presider:

The peace of the Lord be with you always.

R. And with your spirit.

Presider/Deacon:

Let us offer each other the sign of peace.

All present make an appropriate sign of peace.

19
 BREAKING OF THE BREAD

AGNUS DEI

The assembly sings the Agnus Dei.

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:
grant us peace.

Meanwhile, the presider takes the host and breaks it over the paten. He places a small
piece in the chalice, saying inaudibly:

May this mingling of the body and blood

of our Lord Jesus Christ
bring eternal life to us who receive it.

PRIVATE PREPARATION

The presider says inaudibly:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,

by the will of the Father and the work of the Holy Spirit
your death brought life to the world.
By your holy Body and Blood
free me from all may sins and from every evil.
Keep me faithful to your teaching,
and never let me be parted from you.

20
COMMUNION

The presider genuflects. Taking the host, he raises it slightly over the paten and, facing
the people, says aloud:

Behold the Lamb of God

behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.
R.Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

The presider says inaudibly:

May the body of Christ bring me to everlasting life.

He reverently consumes the body of Christ. Then he takes the chalice and says
inaudibly:

May the blood of Christ bring me to everlasting life.

He reverently drinks the blood of Christ.

After this he takes the paten or other vessel and goes to the communicants. He takes a
host for each one, raises it a little, and shows it, saying:

The Body of Christ.

R. Amen.

While the faithful receive Holy Communion, Eucharistic Hymns are sung.

Communion Antiphon Thus says the Lord:

Let whoever is thirsty come to me and drink.
Streams of living water will flow
from within the one who believes in me.
Jn 7: 37-38

Then all stand for the prayer after communion.

21
 PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
