Gospel Acclamation

Alleluia, Alleluia! Give thanks to the risen Lord

Alleluia, alleluia, give praise to His name

I will not leave you orphans, says the Lord;

I will come back to you, and your hearts will be full of joy.

Hail Mary

SUNG AFTER THE INTERCESSIONS

Hail Mary, full of grace, 

the Lord is with thee; 

blessed art thou among women, 

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, 

Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

and at the hour of our death.

Offertory Song

Alleluia! sing to Jesus!

His the sceptre, His the throne.

Alleluia! His the triumph, 

His the victory alone.

Hark! the songs of peaceful Sion

thunder like a mighty flood.

Jesus out of every nation

has redeemed us by His blood.

Alleluia! not as orphans

are we left in sorrow now;

Alleluia! He is near us,

faith believes, nor questions how;

Though the cloud from sight received Him

when the forty days were o’er

Shall our hearts forget His promise,

“I am with you evermore”?

Alleluia! Bread of Angels, 

Thou on earth our food, our stay;

Alleluia! here the sinful

flee to Thee from day to day:

Intercessor, Friend of sinners,

Earth’s Redeemer, plead for me,

Where the songs of all the sinless

sweep across the crystal sea.

Alleluia! King eternal,

Thee the Lord of lords we own;

Alleluia! born of Mary,

Earth Thy footstool, Heav’n Thy throne:

Thou within the veil hast entered,

robed in flesh our great High Priest;

Thou on earth both priest and victim

in the Eucharistic feast.

Prayer of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,

I believe that You are present

in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.

I love You above all things

and I passionately desire
to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,

come spiritually into my soul

so that I may unite myself wholly to You

now and forever. Amen. 

Based on a prayer of St Alphonsus Liguorit
