L: Holy Spirit, you who reveal Jesus to us, help us to

generous Christ of the Gospels;
Let us see the Good Shepherd who knows each one of us,

Allow us to listen to the incomparable Master who presents
His doctrine and wishes to enlighten us in all things.

Reader: From the Gospel of John. (15, 9-17)
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now
remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will
remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s
commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so
that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be
complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have
loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay
down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do
what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a
servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I
have called you friends, for everything that I learned from
my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose
me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear
fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you
whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love
each other. “
The Gospel of the Lord.
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

Prayer:
You loved us, Lord Jesus. You loved us until your death.
You loved us as friends. You loved us with an ultimate love.
This is far greater than anything we can feel or imagine!
You commanded us to extend the same love to others,
without anything in reserve. Your love remains with us in
the Eucharist, this love we receive in every Communion
when we eat your precious Body and drink your sacred
Blood. This is the great manifesto of your love for us.
Teach us to show greater love for you in the Holy Sacrifice.
Make us receive you in a greater disposition, prepared and
in the state of grace. Everytime we sin against you, help us
to be sorry first for our iniquities before we accept you in
Communion. Make every moment a loving one with your
divine presence in us. And when the priest tells us, Ite,
Missa Est, guide us as we become a living Eucharist of love
to our brothers and sisters, even to the point of offering our
lives for you and for them. Amen.
We shall spend this time for our personal prayer.

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.
As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen
you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater
than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute
you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours
also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for
they do not know the One who sent me If I had not come
and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now,
however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates
me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them
what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But
now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have
hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is
written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’
“When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from
the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father,
he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you
have been with me from the beginning.
The Gospel of the Lord.
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

Prayer:
Throughout the years, Lord Jesus, a lot of people showed
their hatred towards your Eucharistic presence. Sacrileges
done inside and outside the Church offended you so much.
Many were led astray due to their false interpretations of
the Sacrament which you alone provide. This gave much
offense to your Eucharistic Presence, dear Lord.

Jesus lifted his eyes toward heaven and prayed: “Father,
the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may
glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people
that he might give eternal life to all those you have given
him. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the
only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I
have brought you glory on earth by completing the work
you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your
presence with the glory I had with you before the world
began.”

Prayer:
Jesus, we feel your great glory in the Sacrament of the Holy
Eucharist, the sacrament of “Thanksgiving”. In your death
and resurrection, you gave new life to the world, and
likewise you manifested your glory over all things. You
never left us empty-handed for in the Holy Mass you
continue to manifest this glorious wonder to all believers.

Reader: From the Gospel of John. (17, 6-19)
Jesus lifted his eyes toward heaven and prayed: “I have
revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world.
They were yours; you gave them to me and they have
obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you
have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words
you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with
certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you
sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world,
but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I
have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come
to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer,
but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy
Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name
you gave me—so that they may be one as we are
one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept
them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost
except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture
would be fulfilled.
“I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am
still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of
my joy within them. I have given them your word and the
world has hated them, for they are not of the world any
more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take
them out of the world but that you protect them from the
evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent
me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For
them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly
sanctified.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, you are the eternal High Priest. In your sacrifice
in Calvary, you gave a perfect sacrifice which is sufficient
for every time and place. Through the hands of the priest,
you continuously give yourself to us, and at the same time
offer yourself to the Father.
We now pray and offer to you all your priests who tirelessly
give us your Body and Blood in every Mass we attend.
Unworthy as they may be, keep them pure and worthy in
mind, word and deed for them to really celebrate the
Sacrament of Love in persona Christi Capitis. Deliver them
from every possible temptation, and may they and their
ministry inspire others to live a holy and pure life as you did
here on Earth. Amen.

Reader: From the Gospel of John. (17, 6-19)
Jesus lifted his eyes to Heaven and prayed: “My prayer is
not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in
me through their message, that all of them may be one,
Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they
also be in us so that the world may believe that you have
sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me,
that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in
me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world
know that you sent me and have loved them even as you
have loved me.
“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me
where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given
me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I
know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have
made you known to them, and will continue to make you
known in order that the love you have for me may be in
them and that I myself may be in them.”

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, you are in the Father, just as he is in you. In
the Holy Eucharist, you continuously manifest your total
unity with us. This is one big grace that no mere mortal can
understand, except for those enlightened by your Word and
Grace.
We pray you, Lord! May we be one with you and the Father
in every Mass we participate. May we feel that we are never
alone when we receive you in Communion; that you dwell
deep within us. Make us feel loved, strengthened,
sanctified. Never leave us after which, and guide us that
you may be manifested in us every time we communicate
and work with others. May we be Eucharistic People, a
people of glory chosen for your service and divine mission
here in Earth. Amen.
We shall spend this time for our personal prayer.
