1. O ever immaculate
Virgin, Mother of
mercy, health of
the sick, refuge of
sinners, comfort of
the afflicted, have
mercy on us.

2. My soul magnifies the Lord
And my spirit rejoices in God
my Savior;
Because He has regarded the
lowliness of His handmaid;
For behold, henceforth all

3. generations shall call me
blessed;
Because He who is mighty has
done great things for me,
and holy is His name;
And His mercy is from

4. generation to generation
on those who fear Him.
He has shown might with His
arm,
He has scattered the proud in
the conceit of their heart.

5. He has put down the mighty
from their thrones,
and has exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with
good things,
and the rich He has sent away

6. empty.
He has given help to Israel, his
servant, mindful of His mercy
Even as he spoke to our
fathers, to Abraham and to his
posterity forever.

7. Glory be to the Father,
And to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is
now, and ever shall be,
World without end. Amen.

9. Entrance antiphon
Give light to my eyes lest I
fall asleep in death, lest my
enemy say: I have overcome
him.

11. …Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy
…Christ, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy
…Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy

13. The First Reading

14. A reading from the Book of the
Prophet Isaiah 1:10, 16-20
Hear the word of the Lord,
you rulers of Sodom;
listen to the command of our

15. God, you people of Gomorrah.
‘Wash, make yourselves clean.
Take your wrong-doing out of
my sight. Cease to do evil.
Learn to do good, search for
justice, help the oppressed,

16. be just to the orphan, plead for
the widow. ‘Come now, let us
talk this over, says the Lord.
Though your sins are like
scarlet, they shall be as white
as snow; though they are red

17. as crimson, they shall be like
wool.
‘If you are willing to obey,
you shall eat the good things
of the earth. But if you persist
in rebellion, the sword shall

18. eat you instead.’

19. The Word
of the Lord
Thanks be to God.

20. I will show God’s
salvation to the
upright.
The Psalm

21. ‘I find no fault with your sacrifices,
your offerings are always before
me.
I do not ask more bullocks from
your farms, nor goats from among
your herds.
The Psalm

22. I will show God’s
salvation to the
upright.
The Psalm

23. ‘But how can you recite my
commandments and take my
covenant on your lips,
you who despise my law
and throw my words to the winds,
The Psalm

24. I will show God’s
salvation to the
upright.
The Psalm

25. ‘You do this, and should I keep
silence?
Do you think that I am like you?
A sacrifice of thanksgiving
honours me and I will show God’s
salvation to the upright.’
The Psalm

26. I will show God’s
salvation to the
upright.
The Psalm

27. Praise to you, O Christ, king of
eternal glory!
Repent, says the Lord,
for the kingdom of heaven is close
at hand.
Praise to you, O Christ, king of
eternal glory! Gospel Acclamation

28. The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A Reading from the holy Gospel
according to Matthew 23:1-12
Glory to you, O Lord.
The Gospel

29. Addressing the people and his
disciples Jesus said, ‘The
scribes and the Pharisees
occupy the chair of Moses.
You must therefore do what
they tell you and listen to what

30. they say; but do not be guided
by what they do: since they do
not practise what they preach.
They tie up heavy burdens
and lay them on men’s
shoulders, but will they lift a

31. finger to move them? Not
they! Everything they do is
done to attract attention, like
wearing broader phylacteries
and longer tassels, like
wanting to take the place of

32. honour at banquets and the
front seats in the synagogues,
being greeted obsequiously in
the market squares and
having people call them
Rabbi. ‘You, however, must

33. not allow yourselves to be
called Rabbi, since you have
only one master, and you are
all brothers. You must call no
one on earth your father, since
you have only one Father, and

34. he is in heaven. Nor must you
allow yourselves to be called
teachers, for you have only
one Teacher, the Christ. The
greatest among you must be
your servant. Anyone who

35. exalts himself will be
humbled, and anyone who
humbles himself will be
exalted.’

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

38. The Peace of the Lord be
with you always.
And with your
spirit.
Let us offer each other
the sign of peace
We Share God’s Peace

40. God our Father, slow to anger,
abounding in mercy,
you find your way to us when we
cannot find our way to you,
you are always faithful when we are
unfaithful.

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

42. 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.

43. God of Mercies, have mercy on
us, so that where sin abounds,
your grace may abound all the
more,
and we shall become merciful
like you. Amen.
