And with your spirit.

I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, That I have greatly sinned, In my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, Through my fault, through my fault, Through my most grievous fault; Therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-virgin, All the angels and saints, And you, my brothers and sisters, To pray for me to the Lord, our God.

Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy.

When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, We proclaim your Death, O Lord, Until you come again.

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.

And with your spirit.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, But only say the word, and my soul shall be healed.

Communion

1st COMMUNION HYMN (Be Not Afraid) You shall cross the barren desert But you shall not die of thirst You shall wander far in safety Though you do not know the way You shall speak your words in foreign lands And all will understand You shall see the face of God and Live

Be not afraid, I go before you always Come follow me and I will give you rest

If you pass through raging waters In the sea you shall not drown If you walk amid the burning flames You shall not be harmed If you stand before the power of hell And death is at your side Know that I am with you through it all

Be not afraid, I go before you always Come follow me and I will give you rest

Blessed are your poor For the Kingdom shall be theirs Blest are you that weep and mourn For one day you shall laugh And if wicked men insult and hate you All because of me, blessed, blessed are you
