Mass for Peace
Our Lady of Peace,
From The Basilica of St Mary Major in Rome erected by Pope Benedict 15th
Canticle
Though Jesus Christ was in the form of God, he did not count such equality to be grasped.
Instead, he freely emptied out himself, and took the form of a servant, was born like us.
In human form he chose humility, and gave himself up to dying upon a cross.
Because of this our God exalted him, and raised him gave him a name above every name.
At Jesus’ name now every knee should bow be they in heav’n or on earth or creation’s depths.
Act of Penance
You were sent to heal the contrite of heart: Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
You came to call sinners: Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy.
You are seated at the right hand of the Father to intercede for us:
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Liturgy of the Word
I will hear what the Lord God has to say: A voice that speaks of peace;
His help is near for those who fear him and his glory will dwell in our land.
Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help.
Mercy and faithfulness have met; Justice and peace have embraced.
Faithfulness shall spring from the earth and justice look down from heaven.
Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help.
The Lord will make us prosper and our earth shall yield its fruit.
Justice shall march before him, and peace shall follow his steps.
Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help.
