Responsorial Psalm

RESPONSE: (Cantor, then all)

Response:

All nations, all nations

Shall fall prostrate before you O Lord

1 . O God, give your judgement to the king,

to a king’s son your justice,

that he may judge your people in justice

and your poor in right judgement.

(Response)

2. In his days justice shall flourish

and peace 'till the moon fails.

He shall rule from sea to sea,

from the Great River to earth’s bounds.

(Response)

3. The kings of Tarshish and the sea coasts shall pay him tribute.

The kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring him gifts.

Before him all kings shall fall prostrate,

all nations shall serve him.

and the needy who are helpless.

He will have pity on the weak

and save the lives of the poor.

Gospel Acclamation

  Alleluia, Alleluia, Alle - luia

  Your words are Spirit O Lord

  and they are life

  you have the words of eternal life

Mass of St. Bernadette 

Offertory Song:

1. We three Kings of Orient are;

   bearing gifts we traverse afar,

   field and fountain, moor and mountain,

   following yonder star.

CHORUS:

O Star of wonder, star of night,

star with royal beauty bright,

westward leading, still proceeding,

guide us to thy perfect light.

2. Born a King on Bethlehem plain,

   gold I bring, to crown him again,

   King for ever, ceasing never,

   over us all to reign.

3. Frankincense to offer have I,

   Incense owns a Deity nigh.

   Prayer and praising, all are raising,

   worship him, God most high.

4. Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume

   breathes a life of gathering gloom;

   sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,

   sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

5. Glorious now behold him arise,

   King and God and sacrifice;

   alleluia, alleluia,

   earth to heaven replies.

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
