Penitential ActA: I confess to almighty God

Psalm 116

I trusted, even when I said, “I am sorely afflicted.”How precious in the eyes of the LORD is the death of his faithful.

Your servant, LORD, your servant am I, the son of your handmaid; you have loosened my bonds.A thanksgiving sacrifice I make; I will call on the name of the LORD.

My vows to the LORD I will fulfill before all his people,in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem.

LITurgy of the eucharIsTOffertory Anthem:

By Tabor’s Light

To strengthen them for coming strife, our Savior climbed the heightswith Peter, James and John His friends, and showed them heaven's light.

With Moses and Elijah there who spoke of coming doom,the Christ stood, radiant as the sun, to point beyond the tomb.

A bright coud overshadowed them and then they heard the voiceof God declaring Christ his own, the Son of His own choice.

This vision great was given then, supporting mind and heart,revealing God's most loving plan in which they would take part.

May Tabor's light and wondrous news shine on our Lenten days,That seeing naught but Jesus Christ, our penance may be praise!

The concLudIng rITesGreeting

Priest: The Lord be with you.People: And with your spirit.

Closing Hymn: Christ be our light

Longing for light, we wait in darkness. Longing for truth, we turn to you.Make us your own, your holy people, light for the world to see.

Bernadette Farrell

Longing for peace, our world is troubled. Longing for hope, many despair.Your word alone has power to save us. Make us your living voice.

Longing for food, many are hungry. Longing for water, many still thirst.Make us your bread, broken for others, shared until all are fed.

Longing for shelter, many are homeless. Longing for warmth, many are cold.Make us your building, sheltering others, walls made of living stone.

Many the gifts, many the people, many the hearts that yearn to belong.Let us be servants to one another, making your kingdom come.

Making a Spiritual Communion

When we are unable to receive the Eucharist at Mass, the Church encourages us to make an act of “spiritual communion,” where we unite ourselves to God through prayer. There are many prayers you can offer

duringyour spiritual communion. Here’s one prayer:

A Prayer When One Cannot Receive Communion

My Jesus,I believe that, even before I was born, you have been with me,knitting my very being, day by day, into the garment of your love,clothing me with grace every moment of my life.And on the day of my baptism you poured your love into my heartthrough the Holy Spirit who unites me eternally to you.

Through that same Spirit I pledge my love and adore you,present in your Most Holy Body and Blood.Though I cannot consume you in this sacred banquetlet me be consumed by your complete desire for meso that my longing for you may be filled with your love aloneand your mercy overflow through me into this world so in need.

On that joyful day when I do receive you in the Eucharist,may I remember that this precious gift is still but a foretasteof the holy gifts that await your holy people at your heavenly altar.There, with the saints and angels, we shall see you face to faceand give you perfect praise for ever. Amen.
