you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
have mercy on us.

Creed
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord,
the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son
is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

People: Blessed be God for ever
Priest: Pray, brothers and sisters,
that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God,
the almighty Father.
People: May the Lord accept the sacrifice
at your hands for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good and the good of all his holy Church.

Hosanna in the highest.
Memorial Acclamation
We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection
until you come again.
Great Amen
Priest: Through him, and with him, and in him,
O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever.
People: Amen
Our Father
Priest: At the Saviour’s command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:
People:
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.
Priest: Deliver us, Lord, we pray,
from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the help of your mercy,
we may be always free from sin
and safe from all distress,
as we await the blessed hope
and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
People:
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever.
Lamb of God
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.
Invitation to Communion
Priest: Behold the Lamb of God,
behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.
People:
Lord, I am not worthy
that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
St. Michael Prayer
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle,
be our protection
against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray,
and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
