Trinity XI

The Parish Mass

For use during the Coronavirus Pandemic, whilst mass is also livestreamed.

Please take this leaflet away with you.

Welcome

The Parish Mass during the continuing Coronavirus pandemic is celebrated according to the guidelines set out in the parish Emergence Plan which you can find on the parish website: www.stwilfrid.org. That may change from week to week as Government and Church advice is revised and received.

This may be a mass where parts may be sung by a solo cantor, have an organ accompaniment only, or be a said mass. The readings and intercessions may be led by a lay person, or by the presiding priest.

Communion is administered when possible, in one kind only, without the chalice. You are also asked not to share a sign of peace at that point in the liturgy. You are also asked to take this leaflet away with you at the end of this service. Please though do not share it either during or after the liturgy.

Social Distancing – Social Safety

We ask you please, to help yourself, each other and us by carefully following any instructions regarding social distancing. Please keep to the distance markers on the floor, and for safety, only sit where you are asked to.

Parish Giving

One off cash donations can be made in the box by the entrance. Electronic payments are prefered, and can be made by the door, as you leave.

mercifully grant to us such a measure of your grace,

that we, running the way of your commandments,

may receive your gracious promises,

through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,

who is alive and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever.

Amen.

The First Reading Isaiah 51:1-6

A reading from the prophet Isaiah

Listen to me, you that pursue righteousness,   you that seek the Lord.Look to the rock from which you were hewn,   and to the quarry from which you were dug. Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who bore you;for he was but one when I called him,   but I blessed him and made him many. For the Lord will comfort Zion;   he will comfort all her waste places,and will make her wilderness like Eden,   her desert like the garden of the Lord;joy and gladness will be found in her,   thanksgiving and the voice of song.

Listen to me, my people, and give heed to me, my nation;for a teaching will go out from me,   and my justice for a light to the peoples. I will bring near my deliverance swiftly,   my salvation has gone out and my arms will rule the peoples;the coastlands wait for me, and for my arm they hope. Lift up your eyes to the heavens,   and look at the earth beneath;for the heavens will vanish like smoke,   the earth will wear out like a garment,   and those who live on it will die like gnats;but my salvation will be for ever,   and my deliverance will never be ended.

This is the word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

The Psalm Ps 138

R./Your love, O Lord, is eternal: discard not the work of your hands.

I thank you, Lord, with all my heart:

you have heard the words of my mouth.

In the presence of the angels I will bless you.

I will adore before your holy temple.R./

I thank you for your faithfulness and love,

which excel all we ever knew of you.

On the day I called, you answered;

you increased the strength of my soul.R./

The Lord is high yet he looks on the lowly

and the haughty he knows from afar.

Your love, O Lord, is eternal,

discard not the work of your hands.R./

The Second Reading Romans 12: 1-8

A reading from the letter to the Romans

I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgement, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.

This is the word of the Lord

Thanks be to God

The Gospel Matthew 16: 13-20

The Lord be with you

and also with you.

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew

Glory to you, O Lord.

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’ And they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’ And Jesus answered him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.’ Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

This is the Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, O Christ.

The Homily

The Profession of faith        

We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God,

eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God, begotten, not made,

of one being with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation 

he came down from heaven,

he became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary 

and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory 

to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son 

is worshipped and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic 

and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism 

for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Prayers of Intercession Stand

After each section:

Lord in your mercy

Hear our prayer

After the prayers for those who have died:

Rest eternal grant to them O Lord.

And let light perpetual shine upon them.

May they rest in peace.

And rise in glory.

We ask Mary the Mother of Jesus to pray to the Father for us as we say:

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

The Liturgy of the Sacrament

The Peace

The peace of the Lord be always with you.

And also with you.

The Preparation of the Table

Pray, my brothers and sisters in Christ,

that this our sacrifice, which is both yours and mine

may be acceptable to God the almighty Father.

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands

for the praise and glory of his name,

for our good, and the good of all his Church.

The Eucharistic Prayer

The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

It is right to give thanks and praise.

After the preface, a solo cantor may sing:

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,

heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

The Principal Celebrant continues the Eucharistic Prayer

Great is the mystery of faith:

  Christ has died: Christ is risen: Christ will come again.

The Eucharistic Prayer ends with the doxology:

……for ever and ever.

Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father,

who art in heaven

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us,

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory

for ever and ever. Amen

Agnus Dei

A solo cantor may sing:

Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us.  

 Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us.

 Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world, grant us peace.

Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.

Blessed are those who are invited to share in the banquet of the Lamb.

Lord, I am not worthy to receive you:

but only say the word and I shall be healed.

For those not receiving Holy Communion either by necessity, choice, or if you are watching at home, you may at the point pray this prayer to make your ‘spiritual communion’:

My Jesus, I believe that youare present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this momentreceive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as if You were already there

and unite myself wholly to you.

Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

The communion antiphon

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood

has eternal life, says the Lord,

and I will raise him up on the last day.

The distribution

Please do not move until asked to, by the stewards and follow their instructions.

You MUST follow social distancing as you move around the building.

Face coverings should only be lowered or removed immediately before receiving communion. They should be replaced immediately afterwards.

To receive, sanitise, then stand on the circular yellow floor marker and fully extend your arm towards the priest who will place the Blessed Sacrament in your hand.

If you do not normally receive communion, you should remain in your place.

Prayer after Communion

Lord of all mercy,

we your faithful people have celebrated that one true sacrifice

which takes away our sins and brings pardon and peace:

by our communion

keep us firm on the foundation of the gospel

and preserve us from all sin;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

The Notices

The Dismissal

The Lord be with you

And also with you

May Almighty God bless you: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Go in the peace of Christ

Thanks be to God.

The Angelus

The Angel of the Lord brought tidings to Mary

And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you;

blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners

now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord

Be it unto me according to your word

Hail Mary....

And the Word was made flesh

and dwelt among us

Hail Mary....

Pray for us O holy Mother of God

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ

Pour your grace into our hearts O Lord,

that as we have known the Incarnation of your Son Jesus Christ

by the message of an angel; so, by his cross and passion

we may come to share the glory of his resurrection.

Through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Parish Notices

Fr Gary

Fr Gary is away from the parish and returns back to work on Sunday 6th September. Fr Gavin and Fr Terry will be looking after the masses during that time. Please note, there are no masses on Tuesday and Thursday this week.

Parish Office

The parish office will be closed each Monday during August. Appointments are required to see a member of staff Tuesday to Friday. Please contact office@stwilfrid.org or bookings@stwilfrid.org to arrange an appointment.

Tinned meat

Crisps

Cleaning materials

Donations can be brought to Mass or you can drop off donations at church between 9.30am and 1.30pm Tuesdays to Fridays by using the black box which is in the sheltered doorway opposite the office door. You do not need to enter the church or office to drop off your donations.

A reminder

During this phase of our emergence plan, we’re trying to get you safely in and out of the building. Many churches are doing this by a process of requiring congregations to apply for allocated tickets with set seats in advance. We’re not doing this, because with your assistance, we hope to accommodate anyone who comes. What is vital is that you follow the directions of the stewards on duty. That does mean you cannot ‘pick and choose’ where to sit. We realise that can mean you don’t get to sit where you normally have done, might not be able to see as well as usual, or can’t sit near people you might usually sit near. However, we cannot simply accommodate requests to do so. So, please, please, don’t ask us to.

Prayers for the sick

All names on the short and long term sick prayer list will be cleared from Sunday 6th September. If you would like a name put back on or moved to the long term list instead, please contact Linda in the parish office.
