Entrance Antiphon Ezek 34:11,23-24
I
will look after my sheep, says the Lord, and I will raise
up a shepherd who will pasture them. I, the Lord, will be their God.
Opening Prayer
Father,
you made Blessed Oldegar, your bishop,
renowned
on earth for his pastoral zeal
and glorious
in heaven because of his merits.
By
his intercession,
may we so
live in this world
as to
reign in glory with Christ,
who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God,
for ever and ever.
Prayer over the Gifts
Lord,
look kindly
on the
sacrificial gifts we place on your holy altar
on this
feast of Blessed Oldegar.
May
our offering bring us your forgiveness
and give
honor to your name.
We
ask this through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon Jn
15:16
You
did not choose me, says the Lord. No, I chose you; and I commissioned you to go
out and bear fruit, fruit that will last.
Prayer after Communion
Lord,
may we who are nourished by these sacred mysteries
be
inspired by the example of Blessed Oldegar.
May
we strive to proclaim what he believed
and put
into action what he taught.
We
ask this through Christ our Lord.
