Closing Prayer:

O God the Father of all,

you ask every one of us to spread love and
reconciliation
where people are divided.
You open this way for us,
so that the wounded body of Jesus Christ, your
church,
may be leaven of communion for the poor of the
earth
and in the whole human family.

Prayer around the Cross

“Jesus, remember me, when you

come into your Kingdom”

Luke 23:42
Welcome

Opening Chant:
Adoramus te Domine (We adore you, Lord Jesus Christ)

(hum)… Adoramus te Domine.

Psalm: 22
Bless the Lord, my soul, and bless God’s holy name.
Bless the Lord, my soul, who leads me into life.

A Reading from the Gospel of John 10: 12-17

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I
have loved you.  No one has greater love than this, to lay
down one’s life for one’s friends.  You are my friends if you
do what I command you.  I do not call you servants any
longer, because the servant does not know what the master
is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made
known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.
You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you
to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will
give you whatever you ask him in my name.   I am giving you
these commands so that you may love one another.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
Stay with me, remain here with me.
watch and pray, watch and pray.

At this point in the liturgy, you are warmly invited to come up to the
cross and offer your own personal prayer in the quiet of your own
heart. Feel free to either place your head on the cross or simply
place your hand on the cross. You are also invited to leave a candle
by the cross to represent your personal prayer intention.

Jesus Remember, when you come into your Kingdom,

Jesus Remember, when you come into your Kingdom.

Ubi caritas et amor, ubi caritas Deus ibi est.

(where true charity and love abide, God will dwell with you)
