31th midnight mass

Pope Francis desires that the year ‘will
be steeped in mercy, so that we can go
out to every man and woman, bringing
the goodness and tenderness of God!
May the balm of mercy reach
everyone, both believers and those far
away, as a sign that the Kingdom of
God is already present in our midst!’

Should auld acquaintance be
forgot, And never brought to
mind? Should auld
acquaintance be forgot, And
auld lang syne!

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne. We'll take
a cup o' kindness yet, For
auld lang syne.

Give me joy in my heart, keep me
praising, Give me joy in my
heart, I pray, Give me joy in my
heart, keep me praising, Keep
me praising 'till the break of day.

Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
Sing hosanna to the King of
kings! Sing hosanna, sing
hosanna, Sing hosanna to
the King.

Give me peace in my heart, keep
me resting, Give me peace in my
heart, I pray. Give me peace in
my heart, keep me resting, Keep
me resting 'till the end of day.

Give me love in my heart, keep
me serving, Give me love in my
heart, I pray; Give me love in my
heart, keep me serving, Keep
me serving till the break of day.

In the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit.
All: Amen We Gather

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

salvation, grant, we pray,

The Collect

your Son. Who lives and

The Collect

A reading from the book of
Numbers
The Lord spoke to Moses and
said, ‘Say this to Aaron and

his sons: “This is how you
are to bless the sons of
Israel. You shall say to them:
May the Lord bless you and
keep you.

May the Lord let his face
shine on you and be gracious
to you.
May the Lord uncover his
face to you and bring you

peace.”
This is how they are to call
down my name on the sons
of Israel, and I will bless
them.’

The Word
of the Lord
Thanks be to God.

O God, be
gracious and
bless us.
The Psalm

O God, be gracious and bless us
and let your face shed its light
upon us. So will your ways be
known upon earth and all
nations learn your saving help.
The Psalm

Let the nations be glad and exult
for you rule the world with
justice.
With fairness you rule the peoples,
you guide the nations on earth.
The Psalm

Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.
May God still give us his blessing
till the ends of the earth revere
him.
The Psalm

A reading from the letter of
St Paul to the Galatians
When the appointed time
came, God sent his Son,

born of a woman, born a
subject of the Law, to
redeem the subjects of the
Law and to enable us to be
adopted as sons. The proof

that you are sons is that God
has sent the Spirit of his Son
into our hearts: the Spirit
that cries, ‘Abba, Father’, and
it is this that makes you

a son, you are not a slave
any more; and if God has
made you son, then he has
made you heir.

Alleluia, alleluia!
At various times in the past and in
various different ways, God spoke to
our ancestors through the prophets;
but in our own time, the last days, he
has spoken to us through his Son.
Alleluia!
Gospel Acclamation

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A Reading from the holy Gospel
according to Luke.
Glory to you, O Lord.
The Gospel

The shepherds hurried away
to Bethlehem and found
Mary and Joseph, and the
baby lying in the manger.
When they saw the child they

repeated what they had been
told about him, and everyone
who heard it was astonished
at what the shepherds had to
say. As for Mary,

she treasured all these
things and pondered them in
her heart. And the shepherds
went back glorifying and
praising God for all they had

heard and seen; it was
exactly as they had been
told.
When the eighth day came
and the child was to be

circumcised, they gave him
the name Jesus, the name
the angel had given him
before his conception.

The Gospel of the Lord
Praise to you, Lord
Jesus Christ.

O Lord my God! when I in
awesome wonder
Consider all the works

How great Thou art!

But when I think that
God His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I
scarce can take it in
That on the cross my
burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to
take away my sin

When Christ shall
come with shout of
acclamation
And take me home,
what joy shall fill my
heart;
when I shall bow in
humble adoration
And there proclaim,

Father, slow to anger, abounding in
mercy, You see us and run to us
when we are far away from you, you
find your way to us when we cannot
find our way to you, you are always
faithful when we are unfaithful.

Jesus Christ, you entered
the house of sinners, you
sat at the table of the
poor, you mounted the
Cross, you throne of
mercy.

Holy Spirit, you pour your
healing gifts over our
wounds, you anoint us to
bring good news to the
poor, you send us out as
missionaries of mercy.

mercy on us, so that where
sin abounds your grace
may abound all the more,
and we shall become like
you, Merciful. Amen.

in this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God the Father
now be given, the Son, and Holy
Ghost,
supreme in highest heaven,
the one eternal God,
whom earth and heaven adore;
for thus it was, is now,
