Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
which wert and art and evermore shalt be.
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name in earth, and sky and sea.

and adore your Unity, powerful in majesty.

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever

First Reading
Reference: Proverbs 8:22-31
Theme: Before the earth came into being, Wisdom was born.
The Wisdom of God cries aloud,
The Lord created me when his purpose first unfolded, before the oldest of his works. From everlasting I was firmly
set, from the beginning, before earth came into being. The deep was not, when I was born, there were no springs to gush with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I came to birth; before he made the earth, the countryside, or the first grains of the worlds dust. When he fixed the heavens firm, I was there, when he drew a ring on the surface of the deep, when he thickened the clouds above, when he fixed fast the springs of the deep, when he assigned the sea its boundaries - and the waters will not invade the shore - when he laid down the foundations of the earth, I was by his side, a master craftsman, delighting him day after day, ever at play in his presence, at play everywhere in his world, delighting to be with the sons of men.
V. The Word of the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
R. How great is your name, O Lord our God, through all the earth.
When I see the heavens, the work of your hands,
the nations and stars which you arranged,
what is man that you should keep him in mind,
mortal man that you care for him? R.
Yet you have made him little less than a god:
with glory and honour you crown him,
gave him power over all the works of your hand,
put all things under his feet. R.
All of them, sheep and cattle,
yes, even the savage beasts,
birds of the air, and fish
that made their way through the waters. R.
Second Reading
Reference: Romans 5:1-5
Theme: To God, through Christ, in the love poured out by the Spirit.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, by faith we are judged
righteous and at peace with God, since it is by faith and through Jesus that we have entered this state of grace in which we can boast about looking forward to God's glory. But that is not all we can boast about; we can boast about our sufferings. These sufferings bring patience, as we know, and patience brings perseverance, and perseverance brings hope, and this hope is not deceptive, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given us.
V. The Word of the Lord
R. Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation
R. O sing a new song giving thanks to the Lord, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The Father, Son and Spirit blessed be,
God who is One, in persons three. R.
V. The Lord be with you
R. And with your spirit.
X Glory to you, O Lord.
Gospel
Reference: John 16:12-15
Theme: Everything the Father has is mine; all the Spirit tells you will be taken from what is mine.
Jesus said to his disciples:
'I still have many things to say to you
but they would be too much for you now.
But when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking as from himself
but will say only what he has learnt;
and he will tell you of the things to come.
He will glorify me,
since all he tells you
will be taken from what is mine.
Everything the Father has is mine;
that is why I said:
All he tells you
will be taken from what is mine.'.
and remind you of all I have said to you.'
V. The Gospel of the Lord.
R. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Please sit for the Address and then stand for the Prayer of the Faithful
The Creed
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,
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.

v. Father, hear us

Offertory Hymn
Bright the vision that delighted
once the sight of Judah's seer;
sweet the countless tongues united
to entrance the prophet's ear.
Round the Lord in glory seated
cherubim and seraphim
filled his temple, and repeated
each to each the alternate hymn:
'Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
earth is with its fullness stored;
unto thee be glory given,
holy, holy, holy, Lord.'
Heaven is still with glory ringing,
earth takes up the angels' cry,
'Holy, holy, holy,' singing,
'Lord of hosts, the Lord most high.'
With his seraph train before him,
with his holy church below,
thus unite we to adore him,
bid we thus our anthem flow:
'Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
earth is with its fullness stored;
unto thee be glory given,
holy, holy, holy, Lord.'
Priest: Pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.
People: 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 holy Church.

The Post Communion Prayer
Post Communion Hymn
Father, Lord of all creation,
ground of being, life and love;
Height and depth beyond description,
only life in you can prove:
You are mortal life's dependence:
thought, speech, sight are ours by grace;
Yours is every hour's existence,
sovereign Lord of time and space.
Jesus Christ, the man for others
we, your people, make our prayer
help us love, as sisters, brothers
all whose burdens we can share
where your name binds us together
you, Lord Christ, will surely be
where no selfishness can sever
there you love the world may see.
Holy Spirit, rushing, bringing
wind and flame of Penteocst
fire our hearts afresh with yearning
to regain what we have lost
may your love unite our action
nevermore to speak alone
God, in us, abolish faction
God, through us, your love make known.
Priest: The Lord be with you
People: And with your spirit.
May almighty God bless you,
the Father, and the Son, ☩ and the Holy Spirit.
Priest: Go forth, the Mass is ended.
