Priest: God is Love and has, in some mysterious

way, drawn you, MARC RENEIR and ANA
CLAIRE together in love. But He leaves you
free to make that love grow or to let it wither
and die. The Lord will help you MARC RENEIR
and ANA CLIRE to forge a future for your
love, if you do your share, when you stand to
the commitment to love and honor one
another in good times and bad, in poverty and
plenty, in sickness and in health, for better or
for worst, in that covenant which you are

which we celebrate in each celebration of the

brothers and sisters, that I have sinned, in my
own thoughts and 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.

Priest: May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive

us our sins and bring us to everlasting life.

All: Amen

Gloria

Lord Jesus Christ, Only begotten Son, Lord God,

Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away
the sins of the Lord, have mercy on us; you
take away the sins of the world, receive our
prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the
Father, have mercy on us.

For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are
the Lord, you alone are the most High, Jesus
Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the Glory of God
the Father.

Amen.

lives and reigns with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.

All: Amen

LITURGY OF THE WORD

FIRST READING

Tobit 8: 4-7

Allow us to live together to a happy old

age.

When Sarahs parents left the bedroom and

closed the door behind them, Tobiah rose from
bed and said to his wife, My sister, come, let
us pray and beg our Lord to grant us mercy
and protection. She got up, and they started
to pray and beg that they might be protected.
He began with these words:

Blessed are you, O God of our ancestors;

Blessed be your name forever and ever!

Let the heavens and all your creation bless you

forever. You made Adam, and you made his
 wife Eve and his helper and support, and from
these two the human race has come. You said,
it is not good for the man to be alone; let us
make him a helper like himself. Now, not with
lust, but with fidelity I take this kinswoman as
my wife. Send down your mercy on me and on
her, and grant that we may grow old together.
Bless us with children,

The word of the Lord.

All: Thanks Be to God.

SECOND READING

The Letter of Paul to the Romans 12:1-13

Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and

pleasing to God.
I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God,
to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and
pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not
conform yourselves to this age but be transformed
by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern
what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing
and perfect.
For by the grace given to me I tell everyone among
you not to think of himself more highly than one
ought to think, but to think soberly, each according
to the measure of faith that God has apportioned. For
as in one we have many parts, and all the parts do
not have the same function, so we, though many, are
one body in Christ and individually parts of one
another. Since we have gifts that differ according to
the grace given to us, let us exercise them: if
prophecy, in proportion to the faith; if ministry, in
ministering; if one is a teacher, in teaching, if one
exhorts, in exhortation; if one contributes, in
generosity; if one is over others, with diligence; if one
does act of mercy, with cheerfulness.
Let love be sincere; hate what is evil, hold on to what
is good; 10love one another with mutual affection;
anticipate one another in showing honor. Do not grow
slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in
prayer. Contribute to the needs of the holy ones,
exercise hospitality.

The word of the Lord.

All: Thanks Be to God.

ALLELUIA ACCLAMATION

Alleluia, alleluia.

Whoever remains in Love, remains in God and God in

Him.

Alleluia, alleluia.

GOSPEL

John 15, 9-12

Priest: The Lord Be with you.

All: And with your Spirit.

Priest: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to

John.

All: Glory to You O Lord Jesus Christ

Priest: As the Father has loved me, so I also love

you. Remain in my love. 10 If you keep my
commandments, you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept my Fathers
commandments and remain in his love. 11 I
have told you this so that my joy may be in
you and that your joy may be complete. 12 This
is my commandments: Love another as I love
 you. No one has greater love than this to lay
down ones life for ones friends. You are my
friends if you do what I command you. I no
longer call you slaves, because a slave does
not know what his master is doing. I have
called you friends because I have told you
everything I have from my Father. It was not
you who choose me, but I who choose you and
appointed you to go and bear fruit that will
remain, so that whatever you ask Father in my
name he may give you. This I command you:
love one another.

Priest: The Gospel of the Lord.

All: Praise to you O Lord Jesus Christ.

Commentator: Please be seated for the Homily.

SANCTUS (to be sung)

During the singing of the Sanctus, MARK ANGELO
and MELIZA kneel and Lightning of the Candles and
the Laying of the Veil and Cord are made
simultaneously.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER
Priest: You are indeed Holy, O Lord, and all you have
created rightly gives you praise, for through your son
our Lord Jesus Christ, by the power and working of
the Holy Spirit you give life to all things and make
them Holy, you never ceases to gather people to
yourself, so that from the rising of the sun, to its
setting a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name.

Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you. By the

same Spirit graciously make Holy these gifts we have
brought to you for consecration, that they may
become the Body and Blood of Your Son our Lord
Jesus Christ, at whose command we celebrate these
mysteries.

For on the night he was betrayed He Himself took

bread, and giving You thanks, He said the blessing,
broke the bread and gave it to His disciples, saying;
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU AND EAT OF IT, FOR
THIS IS MY BODY, WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP
FOR YOU.
In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took
the chalice and giving you thanks, he said the
blessing and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying;
TAKE THIS ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK OF IT, FOR
THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, THE
BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR MANY FOR
THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. DO THIS IN
MEMORY OF ME.

The Mystery of Faith.

All: We proclaim you death, O Lord and profess you
resurrection until You come again.

Priest: Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the

memorial of the saving Passion of your Son, his
wondrous Resurrection and Ascension into heaven,
and as we look forward to his second coming, we
offer you in thanksgiving this holy and living
sacrifice. Look, we pray, upon the oblation of your
Church, and, recognizing the sacrificial Victim by
whose death you willed to reconcile us to yourself,
grant that we, who are nourished by the Body and
Blood of your Son and filled with his Holy Spirit, may
become one body, one spirit in Christ. May he make
of us an eternal offering to you, so that we may
obtain an inheritance with your elect, especially with
the most blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with
your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs and with
all the Saints, on whose constant intercession in your
presence we rely for unfailing help.
May this Sacrifice of our reconciliation, we pray, O
Lord, advance the peace and salvation of all the
world. Be pleased to confirm in faith and charity your
pilgrim Church on earth, with your servant Francis
our Pope and Patricio our Bishop, the Order of
Bishops, all the clergy, and the entire people you
have gained for your own.

Listen graciously to the prayers of this family, whom

you have summoned before you.

Strengthen, we pray, in the Grace of marriage MARK

ANGELO and MELIZA whom you have brought
happily to their wedding day that under your
protection they may always be faithful in their lives
to the covenant they have sealed in your presence.
In your compassion, O merciful Father, gather to
yourself all your children scattered throughout the
world.

To our departed brothers and sisters and to all who

were pleasing to you at their passing from this life,
give kind admittance to your kingdom. There we
hope to enjoy forever the fullness of your glory
through Christ our Lord through whom you bestow to
the world all that is good.

Through Him and, and with Him and in Him, O God,

almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all
glory and honor is Yours, forever and ever.
