Psalm 62: O God, you are my God, for you I long.
O God, you are my God, for you I long, for you my soul is thirsting.
My body pines for you, my God, like a dry weary land without water.
O God, you are my God, for you I long.
I gaze on you in the sanctuary to see your strength and glory,
for your love is better than life itself; my lips will speak your praise.
O God, you are my God, for you I long.
On you I muse throughout the night, on my bed I remember you,
for you have been my refuge and your right hand holds me fast.
O God, you are my God, for you I long.
Gospel Acclamation:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel: Matthew 16:21-27
Preparation of Gifts: as people bring down the gifts of bread and wine we sing:
O Lord, hear my prayer. O Lord, hear my prayer. When I call, answer me.
O Lord, hear my prayer. O Lord, hear my prayer. Come and listen to me.
The Preface Dialogue
The Lord be with you. And with your spirit.
Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right and just.
It is truly right and just, our duty and salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Father most holy,
through your beloved Son, Jesus Christ,
your Word through whom you made all things,
whom you sent as our Saviour and Redeemer,
incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin.
Fulfilling your will and gaining for you a holy people,
he stretched out his hands as he endured his Passion,
so as to break the bonds of death
and manifest the resurrection.
And so, with the Angels and all the Saints
we declare your glory,
as with one voice we acclaim:
the Sanctus: the old Bellahouston setting
You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness.
Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray,
by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall,
so that they may become for us
the Body and Blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
At the time he was betrayed
and entered willingly into his Passion,
he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it,
and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take this, all of you, and eat of it:
for this is my Body which will be given up for you.
In a similar way, when supper was ended,
he took the chalice and, once more giving thanks,
he gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take this, all of you, and drink from it: for this is the chalice of my Blood,
the Blood of the new and eternal covenant,
which will be poured out for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in memory of me.
Therefore,
as we celebrate the memorial of his Death and Resurrection,
we offer you, Lord,
the Bread of life and the Chalice of salvation,
giving thanks that you have held us worthy
to be in your presence and minister to you.
Humbly we pray that,
partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ,
we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world,
and bring her to the fullness of charity,
together with N. our Pope and N. our Bishop
and all the clergy.
Remember also our brothers and sisters
who have fallen asleep
in the hope of the resurrection
and all who have died in your mercy:
welcome them into the light of your face.
Have mercy on us all, we pray,
that with the blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
with the blessed Apostles,
and all the Saints who have pleased you throughout the ages,
we may merit to be co-heirs to eternal life,
and may praise and glorify you
through your Son, Jesus Christ.
Through him, and with him, and in him,
O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honour is yours,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
Bellahouston Lamb of God . . . . .
Communion:
Eat this bread, drink this cup, come to me and never be hungry.
Eat this bread, drink this cup, come to me and you will not thirst.
I am the bread of life . . . . . . . .
Be still and know that I am God.
I am the Lord that healeth thee.
In thee, O Lord, I put my trust.

The New Translation – Biblical influences
As we use the new translation we will perhaps notice more biblical connections than we have been used to. The texts of the Mass are precious to us, partly because they were inspired by the bible. These words have come down to us over the centuries, and most of the words we speak at Mass are rooted in the bible. When we gather for Mass, we are praying with words that have been given to us by our ancestors, who knew the bible well and prayed it well. The revised translation tries to make the connections between the bible and the Mass clearer than it is now. It will also mean that we will have some new music for Mass, to take account of the changes. Over the coming weeks we will be looking at some of the revised words we will be saying and hearing. (www.romanmissalscotland.org.uk)
The Roman Missal 3rd Edition:
The Eucharistic Prayer and the words of consecration
All or Many?
When the 3rd Edition English Translation of the Roman Missal comes in to use, we will hear in the words of consecration for the chalice the words “this is the chalice of my blood… which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins…”. This replaces the familiar “this is the cup of my blood, (which) will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven…”, which has been in use since 1974. Already feelings are running high over the replacement of “ALL” by “MANY”, with the fear that this new translation conveys a limited effect of the outpouring of Jesus’ blood.
Two points probably need to be made here. The first is that the new translation is reflecting more accurately the Latin which has been in existence since the New Missal first appeared after the Second Vatican Council, and that the replacement of ALL by MANY reflects not only this Latin text, but brings the English translation more closely into line with most other European language translations from the Latin. The second point is that the Church has always taught, and continues to do so, that Christ died for ALL without exception. This is in keeping with scripture, e.g. The next day, he saw Jesus coming towards him and said, ‘Look, there is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. John 1:29”; “For God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but so that through him the world might be saved. John 3:17”. This is true because God “…wants everyone to be saved and reach full knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:4”.
We are however still left with the question; why should the text use the word MANY instead of ALL? This has to do with not just one or even two languages, but four or possibly five languages – English, Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. The English expression FOR MANY is given as the translation of the Latin PRO MULTIS, an expression which occurs because the words for the consecration of the Chalice are based on Matthew 26:28 (and also Mark 14:24, on which the Matthew verse is based). Only Mark and Matthew use this expression. So why did the compilers of the Missal not look at the other gospels? The answer is simple – in the entire New Testament, only the gospels of Mark and Matthew refer to those for whom Jesus’ blood is poured out. In Luke 22:20, all we have is “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood,” and of course there is no institution narrative in John. Paul, the only other New Testament writer to describe the institution of the Eucharist, has “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes (1 Corinthians 11:25-26). Hence, the compilers of the words of consecration of the chalice have remained faithful to the text of Matthew and Mark; presumably the logic is that if we do not attempt to change the words of the gospel texts when the passages that contain these words are proclaimed (e.g. when the Passion according to Matthew and Mark are proclaimed on Palm Sunday), neither should they be changed for liturgical purposes.
There is a final question to be considered: why do Matthew and Mark have expressions which translate most accurately into English as MANY rather than as ALL? The answer to this has nothing to do with Latin, and the meaning of pro multis as such, because the Gospels as we have them were written in Greek, not in Latin. In Greek, both Matthew and Mark say that the cup contains Jesus blood which will be poured out for many (tò perì pollōn).
So far so good, but we still have some work to do: the gospels were written in Greek, but Jesus would have spoken Aramaic, an idiomatic language similar to Hebrew. An understanding of the workings of these two languages (gives us the main clue as to the origins of Matthew 26:28 and the assertion that Jesus’ blood is poured out for many. Ancient Semitic languages like Hebrew use considerably less words than do modern languages. One consequence of this is that some words take on several possible meanings; another is that Hebrew is incapable, by and large, of rendering universal concepts. Thus, Hebrew can use a word translatable as ALL in English to qualify another noun – e.g. kol can mean ALL, but in the sense of ‘all nations’ (Isaiah 2:2), ‘all high mountains’ (Isaiah 2:14), or everyone – as in ‘everyone in the land’ (Isaiah 7:22) etc. but it cannot express ALL as an absolute in itself. One way in which the Hebrew language gets round this is to refer to something unquantifiable; rabbîm ‘the many’, or perhaps better, ‘the multitude’. This was probably the expression which Mark and Matthew had in mind from Jesus’ words when they used the expression tò perì pollōn, ‘for the many’.
There is a strong body of opinion that Jesus’ words in Matthew 26:28 are based on Isaiah 53:12, “he was bearing the sin of many…”. This passage uses rabbîm to describe the action and the effect of the Servant who suffers. Here, the emphasis is not on whether this effect is for many or for all. It is rather to highlight the extraordinary fact that the suffering of ONE bears the sin of the multitude. Keeping this in mind may make it easier for us to understand what is being conveyed both in the biblical text of Matthew 26:28 (Mark 14:24) and the words of consecration in our liturgy.

The New Gloria
We praise you,
we bless you,
we adore you,
we glorify you,
we give you thanks for your great glory,
Lord God, heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.
Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.
Reading I: 1 Kings 19:9a, 11-13a
Ps 84: Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help.
I will hear what the Lord God has to say: A voice that speaks of peace;
His help is near for those who fear him and his glory will dwell in our land.
Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help.
Mercy and faithfulness have met; Justice and peace have embraced.
Faithfulness shall spring from the earth and justice look down from heaven.
Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help.
The Lord will make us prosper and our earth shall yield its fruit.
Justice shall march before him, and peace shall follow his steps.
Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help.
Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. I am the light of the world, says the Lord.
Anyone who follows me will have the light of life. Alleluia, alleluia . . . . . . .
The Apostles’ Creed (The new translation)
I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
At the words that follow, up to and including the Virgin Mary, all bow.
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.

The Parish Jubilee ‘Lady Chapel Mural’
The Sacred Threads Group enjoyed a weekend’s retreat at Craig Lodge in Dalmally, where they worked on their canvas embroidery sections of the Dormition Mural for St. Leo’s. The weather was perfect, so they did take a bit of time off to enjoy the mountains, lochs and waterfalls, not to mention the local cuisine! Part of the mural has already been completed in machine embroidery by Marie O’Brien of the Sacred Strands Group in St. Paul’s, Shettleston, and these sections are making their way to our blacksmith George Smith, to construct the backing panels. This weekend was shared as always by Lydia de Rosa, the well-known West End singing teacher and her “Dalmally Divas” – a group of nine singers, who gave a concert on the Saturday evening, followed by a wine and cheese. Needless to say, the embroiderers, all of whom are also in the St. Mungo Singers, gave quite a few performances themselves! Thankfully, the renowned musicians of the Craig Lodge Community are big fans of the St. Mungo Singers!
