Entrance Antiphon                 Ps 15:5-6

Lord, you are my portion and my cup; you restore my inheritance. The measuring lines fall for me in pleasant places; my inheritance is my great delight.

 

Opening Prayer

Lord of glory,

let the prayers of Saints Israel, Walter and Theobald,

to whom we give praise and honor today,

make us pleasing to you.

May we follow their example of faithfulness in your service.

We ask this 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

God of mercy,

you changed the lives of Saints Israel, Walter and Theobald

and created them anew in your image.

Renew us in the same way,

so that our peace-offering may be acceptable to you.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

 

Communion Antiphon            Mt 19-27-29

Truly I tell you, that you who have left everything and followed me, will be repaid a hundred times over, and gain eternal life.

 

Prayer after Communion

All-powerful God,

may we who are strengthened by the power of this sacrament

learn from the example of your Saints, Israel, Walter and Theobald,

to seek you above all things

and to live in this world as your new creation.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
