Entry:
You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul;
You must love the Lord your God with all your mind and strength;
and you must love your neighbour as you love yourself
You must love the Lord your God with heart and soul and mind and strength,
and your neighbour as yourself.
Bellahouston: Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Psalm 145: Come and save us, Lord.
God is ever faithful, God is ever true.
God will feed the hungry, set the prisoners free.
God brings light to darkness, raises up the low;
God protects the stranger, gives the weak his care.
God brings love to justice, thwarts the way of sin;
God will reign for ever, rule from age to age.

Long before founding all of creation, God made his plan and chose us in Christ,

This is the bread come down from heaven;

This is the cup of eternal life;
whoever drinks of it will live for ever.
Soul of my Saviour, sanctify my breast; Body of Christ, be thou my saving guest;
Blood of my Saviour, bathe me in thy tide, wash me with water flowing from thy side.
Strength and protection may thy Passion be; O Blessed Jesus, hear and answer me;
deep in thy wounds, Lord, hide and shelter me; so shall I never, never part from thee.
Guard and defend me from the foe malign; in death’s dread moments make me only thine;
call me & bid me come to thee on high, when I may praise thee with thy saints for aye.

Morning Prayer with Mass
O God, come to our aid: O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory to the Father . . . . .
Psalm 8:
What are we that you should keep us in mind,
mere mortals that you care for us?
When I see the heavens which your hands have made,
moon and stars and everything which you arranged,
what is man that you should keep him in mind,
mortal man that you should ever care for him?
What are we that you should keep us in mind,
mere mortals that you care for us?
You have made him little less than any god,
you have blest and honoured him above all things,
you have given him a share in your power,
you have put creation underneath his feet.
What are we that you should keep us in mind,
mere mortals that you care for us?
Let us pray
God, our Father,
when your Only-Begotten Son revealed himself in flesh and blood,
we came to know him as one of us.
May he transform us inwardly until we bear his likeness,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Carol
Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, Love Divine;
Love was born at Christmas, Star and angels gave the sign.
Worship we the Godhead, Love Incarnate, Love Divine;
Worship we our Jesus: But wherewith for sacred sign?
Love shall be our token, Love be yours and love be mine?
Love to God and all men, Love for plea and gift and sign.
We pause for a short time of private prayer then continue with the Gloria of the Mass
To welcome the Gospel we sing
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. We saw his star as it rose and have come to do him homage;
we saw his star as it rose. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Intercessions:
Let us celebrate Christ’s loving kindness. He came to free his creation from the slavery of sin and give us the freedom of children of God. Therefore let us confidently ask him:
– Let your birth free us from evil.
Lord, you exist from all eternity but you entered a new life in time:
constantly renew us by the mystery of your birth:
– Let your birth free us from evil.
Without ceasing to be God you miraculously took on human nature:
may we share ever more in your divinity.
– Let your birth free us from evil.
Light of the nations, teacher of holiness,
may your words be a lantern guiding our footsteps.
– Let your birth free us from evil.
Word of God, made flesh in Mary’s womb and born into this world,
dwell always in our hearts through faith. – Let your birth free us from evil.

The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want. He makes me down to lie
in pastures green. He leadeth me the quiet waters by.
My soul he doth restore again, and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness, e’en for his own name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, yet will I fear none ill.
For thou art with me, and thy rod and staff me comfort still.
My table thou hast furnished in presence of my foes,
my head thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows.
Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me.
And in God’s house for evermore my dwelling -place shall be.

Their work throughout the world earns the Society the highest esteem and respect from all who know them. If you are thinking that perhaps you could make a fuller contribution to the life of the community, but have limited time at your disposal, then perhaps you should talk to one of the members and consider if you could be part of the Society’s life as a member.

Monday after the Epiphany. January 3rd (St Genevieve of Paris)
Morning Prayer with Mass
The first Noel the angel did say was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep on a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Nowell. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, born is the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star shining in the East beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light and so it continued both day and night.
Nowell. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, born is the King of Israel.
O God, come to our aid
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory to the Father, glory to the Son,
glory to the Holy Spirit now and for ever.
Amen.
We sit for the psalm:
Psalm 66 May he bless us and keep us, may he give us his peace.
God, be gracious and bless us, let your face shed its light on us.
So may your ways be known on the earth, all nations find your help.
May he bless us and keep us, may he give us his peace.
Let the nations exult with joy for you rule us with justice.

Murillo : ‘Adoration of the Wise Men’
Entry Song:
We three kings of Orient are; bearing gifts we traverse afar;
field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star.
O Star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light.
Born a King on Bethlehem plain, gold I bring to crown him again,
King forever, ceasing never, over us all to reign.
O Star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light.
St Gregory Gloria
Reading: Isaiah 60: 1-6
Psalm 71: All nations shall fall prostrate before you, O Lord.
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.
All nations shall fall prostrate before you, O Lord.
In his days justice shall flourish and peace till the moon fails.
He shall rule from sea to sea, Great River to Earth’s bounds.
All nations shall fall prostrate before you, O Lord.
The kings of Tarshish and the sea coasts shall pay him tribute;
the kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring him gifts.
All nations shall fall prostrate before you, O Lord.
For he shall save the poor when they cry and the needy who are helpless.
He will have pity on the weak and save the lives of the poor.
All nations shall fall prostrate before you, O Lord.

For people everywhere, as they leave the old year behind and move into a new one:
that the courage and generosity of Mary, the Mother of God,
may encourage us all
To take delight in the good,
To deal with dignity with whatever we find difficult or overwhelming,
And to support each other with kindness.

Mary, full of grace, chosen from our race,
faithful daughter of Israel.
You are called the second Eve, you the Saviour did conceive,
Ora, ora pro nobis.
Mary spoke the words: Magnify the Lord,
God is mighty and wonderful.
I, the servant of the Lord,will be blessed for evermore.”
Ora, ora pro nobis.
Mary showed the way. Now with her we pray:
Let God’s Kingdom be found in us:
holiness and life and grace, justice, truth and love and peace.
Ora, ora pro nobis.
