MORNING PRAYER (Monday 25^th April 2022)

Christ, the risen Lord, offers his gift of peace to all who come to him. With confidence, we offer our prayers for all those in need:

We pray for our world, on this Divine Mercy Sunday, that all people will be blessed in experiencing the peace of Christ.

Lord, hear us.

Lord, hear our prayer.

We pray for all among us who doubt the reality of the Risen Christ. May they, like Thomas, come to believe.

Lord, hear us.

Lord, hear our prayer.

We pray for our faith community. May we, like the first Christian communities, be a community of faith, prayer, worship and loving service to others.

Lord, hear us.

Lord, hear our prayer.

We pray for the sick of our parish and for all who have asked for our prayers. We commend to your love those who have died recently and those whose

Anniversaries occur at this time. May they share fully in the life of the Risen Lord.

Ever merciful God, hear the prayers of petitions brought to you today. We ask this through Jesus, the Risen Lord.

Amen.

MORNING PRAYER (Thursday 14^th April 2022)

Lord Jesus, you are the faithful one of God.

You were committed to the mission given to you by the Father.

You have traced your steps from the early days of your public life.

Constantly you paused to pray and contemplate what was to be

your responsibility in the world.

May your spirit steady us to follow your way, despite the costs.

Amen.

CONFESSION OF SINS

Together we pray:

Merciful God, help me to personally absorb your unconditional mercy and kindness

Free me from all those things that prevent me from giving myself to you and to others.

Free me to tolerate the failings of others, as you show tolerance to me

Help me to forgive others as You forgive me.

Free me from resentment and guilt.

Christ our Lord came to call sinners into his Father’s kingdom.

Let us now make an act of sorrow in our hearts and resolve to avoid sin in the future.

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;

through my fault, through my fault,

through my most grievous fault;

therefore 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.

Now, in obedience to Christ himself, let us join in prayer to

The Father, asking him to forgive us as we forgive others.

Our Father…

Lord,

draw near to your servants

who in the presence of your Church

confess that they are sinners.

Through the ministry of the Church

free them from all sin

so that renewed in spirit

they may give you thankful praise.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

MORNING PRAYER (Friday 15^th April 2022)

                                          THE EASTER TRIDUUM

HOLY THURSDAY

THE MASS OF THE LORD’S SUPPER

The various celebrations are not discrete imitations of the historical events that occurred two thousand years ago. Therefore it would be incorrect to focus on the institution of the Eucharist or the ordination of priests at this celebration … the breaking of the bread and the foot washing ritually and symbolically express the fact that true life is to be found in the sacrifice of service.

The New Dictionary of Sacramental Worship John Baldovin SJ

GOOD FRIDAY

Early sources refer to followers of Jesus gathering in the early centuries and walking down from the Mount of Olives and the Garden of Gethsemane. Then they would have processed through the streets of Jerusalem towards the place of the crucifixion. We have the eye-witness accounts of Egeria, a Spanish pilgrim who came to Jerusalem about three centuries after the death of Jesus and compiled a whole set of historical observations.

These observations and experiences are possibly where the first semblance of the passion narratives and New Testament writing were formed in the first and second centuries. Also the ritual of the Last Supper and the passion accounts of Jesus would have been the sources of the churches’ first liturgies.

Following reforms in the Holy Week Rituals in the 1960s, the congregation were invited to share in Holy Communion reserved from the Mass of The Lord’s Supper celebrated the previous evening.

EASTER SATURDAY EASTER VIGIL

The Easter Vigil Ritual is dramatic, as the single light representing the light of the Risen Lord is reverently carried into the darkened church. The community lights their tapers from the Easter candle until the whole Church is ablaze with the new light. Here the Exsultet or call to celebrate Jesus' resurrection is proclaimed; then follows a selection of readings that celebrate the marvel of creation as recorded in the Book of Genesis; then follows the account of the people of God led by Moses as recalled in the Book of Exodus. Later some of the Jewish prophets are heard concluding with the readings from the New Testament. At last the Alleluia is heard again followed by the Litany of the Saints.

The renewal of our baptismal vows then takes place with the ritual of sprinkling the congregation with the blessed Easter water. After the great prayer of thanksgiving, the community is invited to share in our Easter communion.

The oldest Preface composed for a Requiem Mass speaks about life after death.

When our mortal bodies lie in death we dare to believe we have reached another dwelling place, for life is changed, not ended.

In dying we share the life of the risen Lord forever.
