Vocations Novena (v9) Prayer Campaign 7

At the sight of the crowds Jesus’ heart was moved For they were like sheep without a Shepherd

Jesus said, “The harvest is ready” “But the labourers are few”

Ask the Lord to send out labourers for the harvest O Lord we pray that young men will answer the call

to become priests in Your harvest

And shepherd for your people.

Amen

In our culture, a burp in the company of others will often be followed by, “Pardon me.” Some might say, “Excuse me.” The intention is the same. We feel that we have broken etiquette and therefore, we have to repair the offence to good human interaction. Both these words, “pardon” and “excuse”, are requests to be forgiven. In a more formal way, a pardon given to a prisoner releases the offender from fully experiencing the punishment due for the offence. These words are requests for forgiveness and the receiving of forgiveness is accompanied by gratitude. Gratitude is probably the most wonderful reason to be in relationship with another person. A married couple surely experiences gratitude for the gift of each other in their unique experience of married life. Good friends are grateful for the trust each has in the other and the often unspoken understanding which underlies the relationship (grateful spouses are also good friends). Children are grateful for the trust they have in their loving parents (they may not always express it verbally). Parents are grateful for the gift of their children. Gratitude really does lie at the heart of all good relationships. Therefore, pardon and forgiveness must also lie at the heart of all good relationships. Our relationship with God is enriched by our understanding of our human relationships. In fact, the best human relationships are those which are signs of the relationship between God and us: “We love because God first loved us” (1 John 4:19). The story of the Father’s forgiveness for the boy who wasted his father’s inheritance (Luke 15) reveals our relationship with God the Father and our human experience of parents and children. Jesus Christ’s relationship with the Church which is his body (Ephesians 5:25) reveals our experience of husband and wife. Jesus’ relationship with his disciples whom he calls his friends and no longer his servants (John 15:15), reminds us of the trust which exists in our human friendships, along with the acceptance that not all of us are perfect. Pardon and gratitude are real experiences in our relationship with God just as they are important to our human relationships. To love is divine; to show mercy is divine. Therefore, love and mercy are also very human and the answer to living in good relationships. Fr Bob Harwood

RECESSIONAL HYMN

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, Hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry,

Poor banished children of Eve; To thee do we send up our sighs, Mourning and weeping in this valley

of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us; And after this our exile,

Show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

PROCESSIONAL HYMN LASST UNS ERFREUEN

Thou rushing wind that art so strong, Ye clouds that sail in heaven along, O praise him, Alleluia! Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice, Ye lights of evening, find a voice: O praise him, Alleluia! Thou flowing water, pure and clear, Make music for thy Lord to hear, Alleluia, Alleluia! Thou fire so masterful and bright, That givest man both warmth and light: Let all things their Creator bless, And worship him in humbleness, O praise him, Alleluia! Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son, And praise the Spirit, Three in one.

2. Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word, Be thou ever with me, and I with thee, Lord; Be thou my great Father, and I thy true son, Be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one. 3. Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight, Be thou my whole armour, be thou my true might; Be thou my soul’s shelter, be thou my strong tower, O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power. 4. Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise, Be thou mine inheritance now and always; Be thou, and thou only, the first in my heart, O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou art. 5. High King of heaven, thou heaven’s bright Sun, O grant me its joys after victory is won; Great Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all.

COMMUNION MOTET

COMMUNIO PLAINSONG

Verbe égal au Très-Haut, notre unique espérance, jour éternel de la terre et des cieux, de la paisible nuit nous rompons le silence, Divin Sauveur, jette sur nous les yeux! Répands sur nous le feu de ta grâce puissante, que tout l’enfer fuie au son de ta voix, dissipe le sommeil d’une âme languissante, qui la conduit à l’oubli de tes lois! O Christ sois favorable à ce peuple fidèle pour te bénir maintenant rassemblé, reçois les chants qu’il offre, à ta gloire immortelle, et de tes dons qu’il retourne comblé! Word of God most high, our only hope, eternal day of the earth and the skies; as we break the silence of the peaceful night, turn your eyes towards us, divine Saviour. Spread over us the fire of your powerful grace, so that all of hell flees at the sound of your voice. Break up the drowsiness of a weak soul which leads to forgetfulness of your laws. O Christ, look down favourably on this faithful people now gathered to bless them; receive the songs they offer to your immortal glory and your overwhelming gifts which they return.

Happy the man whose offence is forgiven. whose sin is remitted. O happy the man to whom the Lord imputes no guilt, in whose spirit is no guile. R.

But now I have acknowledged my sins: my guilt I did not hide. I said 'I will confess my offence to the Lord.' And you, Lord, have forgiven the guilt of my sin. R.

You are my hiding place, O Lord; you save me from distress. You surround me with cries of deliverance. R.

Rejoice, rejoice in the Lord, exult, you just! O come, ring our your joy, all you upright of heart. R.

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

View me, Lord, a work of Thine: Shall I then lie drowned in night? Might Thy grace in me but shine, I should seem made all of light. Cleanse me, Lord, that I may kneel At Thine altar pure and white: They that once Thy mercies feel, Gaze no more on earth's delight.

Worldly joys, like shadows, fade When the heavenly light appears, But the covenants Thou hast made, Endless, know nor days nor years. In Thy Word, Lord, is my trust, To Thy mercies fast I fly; Though I am but clay and dust, Yet Thy grace can lift me high. Amen.
