The Celebration of the Eucharist

OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude
Introit

Welcome and Call to Worship: Liturgy of the Hours
This is the day that the Lord has made!
LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD: ALLELUIA!
On the evening of the first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together behind locked doors; suddenly Jesus stood among them and said:
PEACE BE WITH YOU, ALLELUIA!

*Hymn "This is the Day"
This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made!
We will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it and be glad in it.
This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!
This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made!

Let us be before our God in silence.

Unison Prayer:
JESUS, REDEEMER OF HUMANKIND,
JESUS, CONQUEROR OF SIN AND SATAN,
JESUS, TRIUMPHANT OVER DEATH,
JESUS, THE HOLY AND THE JUST,
JESUS, THE RESURRECTION & THE LIFE,
JESUS, THE GIVER OF GRACE,
JESUS, THE JUDGE OF THE WORLD,
WHO DIDST LAY DOWN THY LIFE FOR THY SHEEP,
WHO DIDST RISE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY,
WHO DIDST MANIFEST THYSELF TO THY CHOSEN, VISITING THY BLESSED MOTHER,
APPEARING TO MAGDALEN WHILE SHE WEPT,
SENDING THY ANGELS TO THE HOLY WOMEN,
COMFORTING THE ELEVEN,
SAYING TO THEM, PEACE,
BREATHING ON THEM THE HOLY GHOST,
CONFIRMING THE FAITH OF THOMAS,
COMMITTING THY FLOCK TO PETER,
SPEAKING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD,
HAVE MERCY ON US!

A Word of Assurance: 1 Corinthians 15:57-58

The Summary of God's Law (Mark 12:29-31)
This is the first commandment:
HEAR O ISRAEL,
THE LORD OUR GOD,
THE LORD IS ONE!
THEREFORE YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
WITH ALL YOUR MIND,
AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.
This is the second commandment:
YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
There is no greater commandment than these.
