We praise you, O Christ, and we bless you,
because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

Help us, Lord, to accept what we find hard in life,
And to place our trust in your promise that we will never be without your presence.
Pause
Second Station: Jesus takes up his cross

You have redeemed the world.
Jesus became like us in human weakness and frailty.
Support us Lord when we stumble and fall.
Pause
Fourth Station: Jesus meets his mother
We praise you, O Christ, and we bless you . . . . . . .
Mary your mother was always there for you.

And to show them your compassion.
Pause

The compassion of Veronica for you in your hour of need
is a pale reflection of your great compassion for all of us.
Help us to show your love in deeds of kindness to all we meet.
Pause
Seventh Station: Jesus falls the second time
We praise you, O Christ, and we bless you . . . . . .
With great courage you continued and went forward on the road to Calvary.
Help us to be strong and to draw courage from you when we meet life’s problems.
Pause
Eighth Station: Jesus speaks to the women of Jerusalem
We praise you, O Christ, and we bless you . . . . . . .
Jesus was aware of the depth of grief these women showed for him,
and he in turn showed great concern for their future and the future of their children.
When we are in pain, help us to look outward and be open to the pain of others.
Pause
Ninth Station: Jesus falls the third time
We praise you, O Christ, and we bless you . . . . . .
When all seemed lost, Jesus persevered in doing the will of the Father,
and drew strength from his Father.
Teach us how to draw strength from you when life and all the problems of our world seem too much for us.
Pause
Tenth Station: Jesus is stripped of his garments
We praise you, O Christ, and we bless you . . . . . . .
Every possession was taken from Jesus, and his great heart of love was revealed to us.
Help us to have poverty of spirit that we may see your love everywhere.
Pause
Eleventh Station: Jesus is nailed to the cross
We praise you, O Christ, and we bless you . . . . . . .
Nailed to the cross, Jesus freely offered his life for us and for the whole human race.
When we feel constrained and trapped by fears in life, give us the grace of inner freedom
which sees your hand at work in all the circumstances in which we find ourselves.
Pause
Twelfth Station: Jesus dies on the cross
We praise you, O Christ, and we bless you . . . . . .
With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last and sent forth the Spirit.

not even death itself.

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart, naught be all else to me save that thou art;
thou my best thought in the day and night, waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word, I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord;
thou my great Father, and I thy true son; thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.
High King of heaven when battle is done, grant heaven’s joy to me, O bright heaven’s sun;
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall, still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

The word of the Lord is faithful, we trust him in all he does.

he fills the earth, he fills the earth with his love. He fills the earth with his love.
By his word the heav’ns were made; the breath of his mouth made the stars.
The Lord looks on those, those who revere him, on those who hope,
on those who hope, on those who hope in his love. He fills the earth with his love.
And so we await the Lord, the Lord is our help and shield.

Ecumenical and Lenten Morning Prayer for St Patrick’s Day
March 16, 2011
Sherbrooke St Gilbert’s and St Leo the Great
Morning Prayer St Patrick’s Day 2011
Christ be beside me, Christ be before me, Christ be behind me, King of my heart,
Christ be within me, Christ be below me, Christ be above me, never to part.
Christ on my right hand, Christ on my left hand, Christ all around me, shield in the strife.
Christ in my sleeping, Christ in my sitting, Christ in my rising, light of my life.
Christ be in all hearts thinking about me. Christ be in all tongues telling of me.
Christ be the vision in eyes that see me, in ears that hear me, Christ ever be.
O God, come to our aid: O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
Psalm 26 is one of the favourite psalms of Lent, and as we pray it today we might remember the boy, Patrick, stolen into slavery,
who had to deepen his sense of trust in God, and who like David the psalmist, was saved and entrusted in turn with his own great mission
Psalm 26: The Lord is my light, the Lord is my help.
The Lord is my light and my help; of whom then, need I be afraid?
The strength in my life is the Lord, before whom shall I ever tremble?
The Lord is my light, the Lord is my help.
One thing I ask of the Lord – to live with him for evermore.
O Lord, hear my voice, in mercy answer! I seek you, dismiss not your servant.
The Lord is my light, the Lord is my help.
Glory to God the Father, glory to the Son,
Glory to God the Holy Spirit now and for ever. Amen.
The Lord is my light, the Lord is my help.
Let us pray
Loving Father,
You heard the prayers of St Patrick,
And you gave him the courage and vision to respond to your call.
Let us who honour his memory
Be generous in our service of you and our neighbour.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
Another song of the early church, taken from the Letter to the Philippians (2:6-11), is particularly suitable for Lent
Tune: My God Loves Me
Though Jesus Christ was in the form of God,
he did not count such equality to be grasped.
Instead, he freely emptied out himself,
and took the form of a servant, was born like us.
In human form he chose humility,
and gave himself up to dying upon a cross.
Because of this our God exalted him, and raised him
gave him a name above every name.
At Jesus’ name now every knee should bow
be they in heav’n or on earth or creation’s depths.
All glory be to God, the Three in One,
the Father, Son, Holy Spirit for ever more.
Patrick wrote to Coroticus appealing to him to release captives and including this passage below:
A short Reading from St Patrick’s Letter to Coroticus
“O most dear ones, I can see you
Beginning the journey to the land
Where there is no night nor sorrow nor death…
You shall reign with the apostles and prophets and martyrs.
You shall seize the everlasting kingdoms,
As Christ promised when he said:
‘they shall come from the east and the west
and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob
in the kingdom of heaven.”
Short pause
A reading from the Prophet Jeremiah 1:4-9
Now the word of the Lord came to me saying,
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.”
But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, `I am only a youth’;
for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,
and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
Be not afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.”
Then the Lord put forth his hand and touched my mouth;
and the Lord said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
Benedictus verse 4: tune: Finlandia
And you, my child, are favoured by the Most High:
you shall be called a prophet of our God.
You shall go forth as herald from the Lord,
and shall prepare the ways on which he comes.
You shall make known the wonders of salvation
to everyone called chosen by the Lord.

Fairtrade Fortnight started on Monday 28 February. Look out for articles and adverts on Fairtrade issues and watch out in your local supermarkets for Fairtrade products. Remember – buying Fairtrade marked goods is an easy way to exercise consumer power and support our brothers and sisters in the Third World as they try to work their way out of poverty. We hope to have Fairtrade Fortnight materials available in the porch and hall, and we will supply Fairtrade tasters – biscuits and Geobars to go with your tea after Mass next week”
Sciaf boxes available for Lent.
Thanks very much to those who were able to attend the Vespers on Thursday in St Aloysius, Garnethill, to mark the feast of St John Ogilvie.

Introit
He will call to me and I shall answer
With freedom and honour and length of days;
He will call to me. He will call to me.
All you sheltered by the Most High, who live in Almighty God’s shadow,
Say to the Lord, “my Refuge, my stronghold, my rock in whom I trust.”
He will call to me and I shall answer
With freedom and honour and length of days;
He will call to me. He will call to me.
Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading: from the Book of Joel
Psalm 50: A pure heart create for me, O God.
Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness, in compassion blot out my offence.
O wash me more and more from my guilt, and cleanse me from my sin.
A pure heart create for me, O God.
My offences truly I know them; my sin is always before me.
Against you alone have I sinned. What is evil in your sight I have done.
A pure heart create for me, O God.
Create for me a heart that is pure, put a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence, nor deprive me of your holy spirit.
A pure heart create for me, O God.
With a spirit of fervour sustain me. Give again the joy of your help,
O Lord, open my lips and my mouth shall declare your praise.
A pure heart create for me, O God.
A reading from the 2nd Letter to the Corinthians 5:20 – 6:2
Gospel Verse
Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory.
Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory.
Not by bread alone do we live,
but by every word from the mouth of God;
Not by bread alone, not by bread alone, not by bread alone.
Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory. . . . .

From the Canticle of Ezechiel 36 (tune: Slane)
Hear me my people, I will call you back home From the nations and countries in which you now roam;
the place where I’ll lead you is where you’ll be free, for you are my chosen; your God I shall be.
Hear me, my people, I will sprinkle you all with fresh water to cleanse you from sin and its thrall;
each falsehood and idol I’ll teach you to see; for you are my chosen; your God I shall be.
Hear me, my people, feel the new heart I give the new spirit and guidance for how you might live;
a heart made of flesh, not of stone , is the key for you are my chosen; your God I shall be.
Liturgy of the Eucharist
Jesus, Remember me when you come into your kingdom.
Jesus, Remember me when you come into your kingdom.
Sanctus . . . . .
Memorial: Suffering for us you set us free, Rising you gave us life.
You are the saviour, you are the saviour, saviour of the world.
This is the bread come down from heaven;
Whoever eats of it will never die.
This is the cup of eternal life;
Whoever drinks of it will live for ever.
Be still and know that I am God (3).
I am the Lord that healeth thee (3)
In thee, O Lord, I put my trust (3).
Saint Peter Chrysologus (c.406-450), Bishop of Ravenna, Doctor of the Church wrote:
‘My dear brethren, today we set out on the great Lenten journey. So let us take our food and drink along in our boat, putting onto the chest the abundant mercy we shall need. For our fasting is a hungry one, our fasting is a thirsty one if it isn’t sustained by goodness and refreshed by mercy. Our fasting will be cold, our fasting will flag if the fleece of almsgiving doesn’t clothe it, if the garment of compassion does not wrap it around.’
