Introductory Rites Opening Song For all the Saints For all the saints, who from their labours rest, All who by faith before the world confessed, Your Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed. Alleluia, Alleluia! But then there breaks a yet more glorious day; the saints triumphant rise in bright array; the King of glory passes on his way. Alleluia, Alleluia! From earth s wide bounds, from ocean s farthest coast, through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, and singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost: Alleluia, Alleluia! Placing of the Pall Members of the Family The pall is a reminder of the garment which is placed on the newly baptised to symbolize that they have now put on Christ, and so are pledged a garment of immortality.

Liturgy of the Word First Reading: Ecclesiastes 6: 14-17 Judy Quin A loyal friend is like a safe shelter; find one, and you have found a treasure. Nothing else is as valuable; there is no way of putting a price on it. A loyal friend is like a medicine that keeps you in good health. Only those who fear the Lord can find such a friend. A person who fears the Lord can make real friendships, because he will treat his friends as he does himself. The Word of the Lord. All Thanks be to God Responsorial Psalm: Do Not Be Afraid I Am With You Refrain Do not be afraid, I am with you. I have called you by your name, you are mine. I have called you by your name, you are mine. Verse 1 The Lord is my light and my help; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; before whom shall I shrink? Refrain Verse 2 There is one thing I asked of the Lord; for this I long: to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. Refrain Verse 3 I am sure I shall see the Lord s goodness in the land of the living. Hope in Him! Hold firm and take heart. Hope in the Lord.
Second Reading: Philippians 4: 4-19 Charles Costello Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you. I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned for me, but had no opportunity to show it. Not that I am referring to being in need; for I have learned to be content with whatever I have. I know what it is to have little, and I know what it is to have plenty. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being well-fed and of going hungry, of having plenty and of being in need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. In any case, it was kind of you to share my distress. You Philippians indeed know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you alone. For even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me help for my needs more than once. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit that accumulates to your account. I have been paid in full and have more than enough; I am fully satisfied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. The Word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God
Gospel Acclamation: Gospel: John 2: 1-12 Fr Brian McCoy sj On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine. And Jesus said to her, Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come. His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he tells you. Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, Fill the jars with water. And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward. So they took it. When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom and said to him, Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now. Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they remained there a few days. The Gospel of the Lord. All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ Homily and Eulogy: Fr Chris Gleeson sj Prayers of the Faithful: Members of St Ignatius Parish Response: Lord, hear our prayer

Irish Blessing Final Commendation: Recessional: Sung by Fr Richard Leonard sj Fr Brian McCoy sj Here I Am Lord I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard My people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin, My hand will save. I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear My light to them? Whom shall I send? CHORUS Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night. I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart. I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have born my peoples pain. I have wept for love of them, They turn away. I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hearts for love alone. I will speak My word to them, Whom shall I send? CHORUS I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame. I will set a feast for them, My hand will save Finest bread I will provide, Till their hearts be satisfied. I will give My life to them, Whom shall I send?
