O Salutaris Hostia,
Quae caeli pandis ostium:
Bella premunt hostilia,
Da robur, fer auxilium.

Uni trinoque Domino

Sit sempiterna Gloria.
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria.
Amen.

INVITATION TO PRAISE

V./ Blessed be God the Father, who made the world out of His kindness, creating
order out of confusion; You made each one of us in Your own image; Your
fingerprint is on every soul. Blessed be God forever.

R./ Blessed be God forever.

V./ Blessed be our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who emptied Himself in the
form of a slave, the Poor Man who made the others rich; the Healer who let
Himself be wounded; the Savior who died and rose again. Blessed be God forever.
R./ Blessed be God forever.

V./ Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life. You speak to every
heart; You filled the disciples with courage; You converted empty and weary
souls; You showed how love makes all things new and opened the doors to change
and freedom. Blessed be God forever.

R./ Blessed be God forever.

Please be seated.

GOSPEL READING Luke 15:1-7

✠A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke

At that time, the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Him,
but the Pharisees and Scribes began to complain, saying, “This man welcomes
sinners and eats with them.” So to them He addressed this parable: “What man
among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the
ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it? And when he
does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy and, upon his arrival home,
he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me
because I have found my lost sheep. I tell you, in just the same way there will be
more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous
people who have no need of repentance.’

The Gospel of the Lord.

R./ Praise to you Lord, Jesus Christ.

word and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have
not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are sorry, and we now turn away from our sin before You. For the sake of
Your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us, that we may joyfully obey
Your will and walk in Your ways to the glory of Your Name. Amen

God is Forgiveness

Diyos ay pag-ibig, huwag kang mangamba.

BENEDICTION
After the sign of peace is offered, the priest goes to the altar facing the people and
the Blessed Sacrament. All kneel down. The priest incenses the Blessed Sacrament
while the people sing:

Tantum ergo Sacramentum

Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui:
Præstet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.

Genitori, Genitoque
Laus et jubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio;
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio. Amen.
V./ Panem de cælo praestitisti eis.
R./ Omne delectamentum in se habentem.

Oremus:
Deus, qui nobis sub sacramento mirabili, passionis tuae memoriam reliquisti:
tribue, quæsumus, ita nos corporis et sanguinis tui sacra mysteria venerari, ut
redemptionis tuæ fructum in nobis iugiter sentiamus. Qui vivis et regnas in sæcula
sæculorum.
R./ Amen.

Or:

V./ You have given them bread from heaven.

R./ Containing in itself all happiness.

Let us pray:
Lord Jesus Christ, You gave us the Eucharist
as the memorial of Your suffering and death.
May our worship of this Sacrament of Your Body
and Blood help us to experience the salvation
You won for us and the peace of the kingdom
where you live with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
R./ Amen.

After the prayer, the priest kneels down and puts on the humeral veil, genuflects,
and takes the monstrance. He makes the sign of the cross over the people with it in
silence. Afterwards the divine praises are said.
