Readings |
| A Reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians:
I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to live a life worthy of your
vocation. Be gentle, patient and kind. Do all you can to preserve the unity
of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together. There is one body, one
Spirit, just as you were all called into one and the same hope on the day
that you were called. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God
who is father of all, over all, through all and within all. This is the word of the Lord. |

Opening Prayer: Lord, help us to respond to the signs of the times. Teach us your truth and guide our actions, that we may honour you not only with our lips, but also by our way of living. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Prayer over the Gifts: God of all Truth, Receive these offerings, chosen from your many gifts. May this Eucharist help us to grow in holiness and faith. Grant this through Christ Our Lord. Concluding Prayer: Gracious Father, May the Eucharist we have shared Help us to do with loving hearts what you ask of us. May we experience your peace and forgiveness And come to share in the life you promise |
