Entrance Antiphon I Sam
I
shall raise up for myself a priest who will be faithful. He will do what I have
in my mind and in my heart,
says the
Lord.
Opening Prayer
Lord
God, you inspired Blessed Achard
to give a
shining example
of
canonical life and pastoral work.
By
his intercession, may we fulfill our vocation,
enrich
your Church with spiritual fruitfulness
and come
at last to your eternal light.
We
make our prayer through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God,
for ever and ever.
Prayer over the Gifts
Lord,
receive these gifts of your people,
which we
offer you on the feast of Blessed Achard.
Through
them may we experience your loving help
in which
we place all our hope.
We ask
this through Christ our Lord.

I
have come that they may have life,
and have
it in all its fullness, says the Lord.
Prayer after Communion
Lord
our God,
you have
nourished us
with the
sacred body and precious blood of your Son.
May
what we have done with loving devotion
bring us
assurance of redemption.
We
ask this through Christ our Lord.
