GOSPEL
D// The Lord be with you
A// And with your Spirit
D// Reading from the holy Gospel
according to Luke
A// Glory to you, O Lord
One day when Jesus was praying alone in
the presence of his disciples he put this
question to them, “Who do the crowds
say I am?” And they answered, “John the
Baptist; others Elijah; and others day one
of the ancient prophets come back to
life”. “But you”, he said “”who do you
say I am?” It was Peter who spoke up.
“The Christ of God” he said. But he gave
them strict orders not to tell anyone
anything about this.
“The Son of Man” he said” is destined to
suffer grievously, to be rejected by the
elders and chief priests and scribes and to
be put to death, and to be raised up on the
third day”.
D// The Gospel of the Lord
A// Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ

PREFACE II COMMON
P// The Lord be with you
A// And with your spirit
P// Lift up your hearts
A// We lift them up to the Lord
P// Let us give thanks to the Lord our
God
A// It is right and just
It is truly right and just, our duty and our
salvation, always and everywhere to give
you thanks, Father most holy, through
your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, your
Word through whom you made all things,
whom you sent as our Savior and
Redeemer, incarnate by the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin.
Fulfilling your will and gaining for you a
holy people, he stretched out his hands as
he endured his Passion, so as to break the
bonds of death and manifest the
resurrection.
And so, with the Angels and all the Saints
we declare your glory, as with one voice
we acclaim:
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God
HOLY SONG
Holy, holy, holy, holy is the Lord,
God of the universe, holy is the Lord.
/Hosanna in the sky, hosanna on earth,
blessed is he who comes in the name of
the Lord./
EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II … PAG.23

COMMUNION SONG
I will come to you in the silence
I will lift you from all your fear
You will hear My voice
I claim you as My choice
Be still, and know I am near
I am hope for all who are hopeless
I am eyes for all who long to see
In the shadows of the night,
I will be your light
Come and rest in Me
Do not be afraid, I am with you
I have called you each by name
Come and follow Me
I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine.

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION

Renewed by this heavenly Sacrament, O

Lord, we implore that, just as we are
prompted by Saint Vincent´s example to
imitate your Son in his preaching of the
Gospel to the poor, so, too, we may be
sustained by his prayers.
Through Christ our Lord.

R. Amén.
