(12:00) Assembly: 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.

Celebrant: May almighty God have mercy on us,

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

Assembly: Amen.

Cantor: Lord Jesus, You conquered death – You are eternal victor:

Cantor: Christ Jesus, You reign forever – You are eternal king:

Cantor: Lord Jesus, You rule triumphant – You are eternal master:

Profession of Faith

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,

(All bow during these two lines.)

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.

G e n e r a l I n t e r c e s s i o n s Response: Lord, hear our prayer.

 Guidelines for the Reception of Communion
For Catholics
As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy
Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order
to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of grave
sin and normally should have fasted for one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is
not to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental confession except
for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for confession. In this case, the person is
to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention
of confessing as soon as possible (canon 916). A frequent reception of the Sacrament of
Penance is encouraged for all.

For Our Fellow Christians

We welcome our fellow Christians to this celebration of the Eucharist as our brothers and
sisters. We pray that our common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit in this Eucharist
will draw us closer to one another and begin to dispel the sad divisions which separate us.
We pray that these will lessen and finally disappear, in keeping with Christ’s prayer for us
“that they may all be one” (John 17:21).

Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of the reality of
the oneness of faith, life, and worship, members of those churches with whom we are not
yet fully united are ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. Eucharistic sharing in
exceptional circumstances by other Christians requires permission according to the directives
of the diocesan bishop and the provisions of canon law (canon 844 § 4). Members of the
Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, and the Polish National Catholic
Church are urged to respect the discipline of their own Churches. According to Roman
Catholic discipline, the Code of Canon Law does not object to the reception of communion
by Christians of these Churches (canon 844 § 3).

For Non-Christians
We also welcome to this celebration those who do not share our faith in Jesus Christ. While
we cannot admit them to Holy Communion, we ask them to offer their prayers for the peace
and the unity of the human family.

For Those Not Receiving Holy Communion

All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a
prayerful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another.

(b. 1923)
Sing, my soul, His wondrous love,
Who, from yon bright throne above,
Ever watchful over our race,
Still to man extends His grace.

Heaven and earth by Him were made,

All is by His scepter swayed;
What are we that He should show
So much love to us below?

God, the merciful and good,

Bought us with the Savior’s blood,
And, to make our safety sure,
Guides us by His spirit pure.

Sing, my soul, adore His name;

Let His glory be thy theme:
Praise Him till He calls thee home,
Trust His love for all to come.
