NAME
HOTEL IN LOURDES or ACCUEIL
The Benedictus - (Lk 1:68-79) Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! He has visited his people and redeemed them. He has raised up for us a mighty saviour in the house of David his servant, as he promised by the lips of holy men, those who were his prophets from of old. A saviour who would free us from our foes, from the hands of all who hate us. So his love for our fathers is fulfilled and his holy covenant remembered. He swore to Abraham our father to grant us, that free from fear, and saved from the hands of our foes, we might serve him in holiness and justice all the days of our life in his presence. As for you, little child, you shall be called a prophet of God, the Most High. You shall go ahead of the Lord to prepare his ways before him, To make known to his people their salvation through forgiveness of all their sins, the loving-kindness of the heart of our God who visits us like the dawn from on high. He will give light to those in darkness, those who dwell in the shadow of death, and guide us into the way of peace. Glory be to the Father....

OLD BRIGHTON ROAD PEASE POTTAGE, WEST SUSSEX, RH11 9AJ Dear Fellow Pilgrims, It is a wonderful blessing for us all to be able to gather once more at the Grotto, travelling together as pilgrims on the journey. We come in thanksgiving; we come with our sorrows and joys, our memories and the many intentions for which we have been asked to pray, for those unable to travel this year and those who have been with us at other times and whom God our Father has called to Himself. We pray for Peace, especially in Ukraine. We pray for refugees and for a spirit of openness and welcome for all who come to our shores. We pray for those suffering economic hardship, wherever they may be across the world. We pray for the sick, for all whose lives are impacted by natural disaster and climate change. This year’s theme in Lourdes “Go and tell the priest” calls us to pray for the priests who serve us each and every day in preaching and pastoral care, in administering the Sacraments and celebrating the Eucharist, the high-point of our lives. Let us pray for vocations to priesthood, especially in our own Diocese. We shall gather at the Baths, the Torchlight Procession and in the celebration of Mass, in our moments of prayer and reflection, in those times when we can deepen the understanding of our Faith and for the Blessed Sacrament Procession in Lourdes – the pre-eminent moment of miracles here in Lourdes. This Pilgrimage is a time of great Blessing for those of us privileged to travel. It is a time of blessing for our Diocesan family and, in ways beyond our understanding, for the whole world. Let us pray for one another as we make our Pilgrimage to the Grotto and our Pilgrimage of life. With every Blessing,
Bishop of Arundel and Brighton 4

WHAT IS A PILGRIM?
A
Pilgrim is a searcher. Restless, seeking truth or meaning, he or she goes on a journey. The beginning is modest, but significant. The journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step, say the Chinese. “I will go on-line and complete an application form for this year’s pilgrimage”. This first step leads to a tradition born in the Middle Ages when many people went on pilgrimage to holy places. It was tourism mediaeval-style. People in those days were wise. They said that there are two types of pilgrimage: the physical (like going from London to Canterbury to pray at the tomb of St Thomas a Becket) and the spiritual (engaging in an active inner search). The first was good; the second was better and nobler. So who is a pilgrim? We all are, both individually and as a people. I am a pilgrim person. I am on a physical and spiritual journey. I need healing. During my week’s pilgrimage I will live this experience intensely through journeying in Lourdes. Meeting strangers, making friends, exchanging stories, caring for people, moving out from the prison which often holds me back. Engaging in prayer, meeting Jesus in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, finding some dark bits that I do not like, and then finding relief and release in God’s loving forgiveness. My journey to Lourdes will teach me many things, and not least the importance of prayer. One peaceful moment at the Grotto in the presence of Our Lady can be a lifechanging experience. But there is more to life than me. “No man is an island entire of itself” is what the poet John Donne said. “Every man is a piece of the continent”. We are a pilgrim church, on the road but not there yet. We have each other, a guide and a destination: heaven and eternal life. We are always open to letting people follow at their pace and picking up stragglers at any time. We belong, as part of a Hotel group or the Accueil, and in belonging, we are important. In Lourdes we learn particularly how important the sick are to our community. Through them we discover our universal fragility and our need of healing.

LOURDES YOUTH TEAMS The Lourdes Youth Teams exist to lead young people in the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton to an encounter with Jesus and to help them discover the joy of following him through building community, serving others, nurturing a relationship with Jesus in prayer and the Sacraments, exploring the journey of discipleship and connecting with the local Church in our Diocesan parishes. Build – We seek to lead young people to encounter the living God through creating a nurturing and loving community characterised by joy and friendship where each young person is welcomed and can come to know that they are loved and cherished by God. Serve – We seek to lead young people to encounter Jesus in our pilgrimage and parish families by providing opportunities to serve others, especially those in most need, through various activities of prayer and service experienced in Lourdes and the Diocese. As a group of young pilgrims, we also seek to build friendships through being attentive to one another and serving each other throughout the year, and especially during our week in Lourdes. Pray – Through the Lourdes experience we seek to lead young people to discover the joy of encountering Jesus by providing pathways into prayer and active participation in the Sacramental life of the Church in Lourdes, their parish and in the Diocese. Explore – We seek to provide an open space where young pilgrims can explore their faith freely. Through ministry sessions which both evangelise and catechise we want to feed the faith of our young people and introduce them to the beauty and joy of the journey of discipleship. Connect – We want to connect young people across the diocese and create a space where faith-based friendships can flourish. We desire to connect young people with the diocese and in particular their school and parish. We want the Lourdes youth experience to go beyond Lourdes and to overflow into a life of discipleship and greater involvement in the life of the Church. “When God touches the heart of a young man or woman they become capable of tremendous things”

During the week for the Family Group, there is a dedicated children’s Reconciliation Service and Children’s Liturgy for most of the Masses. The Family Group also has activities for two other groups of children: the Orange Shirts and the Green Shirts. These two groups have some separate activities organised for them during the Pilgrimage. The Redshirt (Year 10/11) Experience is to be viewed as a two-year programme, with the first year being an opportunity for deepening the experience of prayer and encountering the initial kerygma (1) of the Gospel. This experience of growing in relationship with the person of Christ can then pave the way for more specific formation in the second year of the Redshirt Experience. The Redshirt (Young Helper) Experience gives our 17-year-old pilgrims the opportunity to experience what it means to help someone less able than themselves enjoy the experience of pilgrimage in Lourdes. They serve each day in the hotels where our Assisted Pilgrims stay, and in the evening, their chaplaincy team puts the days toils in perspective and help our young helpers put their daily experience in context in relation to their journey of faith. The Encounter Experience in Lourdes, is offered particularly to the young people caring for Assisted Pilgrims, is a continuation of the Encounter Programme of the Diocese and also an introduction to that programme for those who have not yet experienced it. (1) “we have rediscovered the fundamental role of the first announcement, or kerygma, which needs to be the centre of all evangelizing activity and all efforts at Church renewal” EG, n. 164. 10

BERNADETTE OF LOURDES by Catherine Simon
A Family in Need On 7th January 1844 François and Louise Soubirous (formerly Casterot) gave birth to their first child. They named her Bernadette. She was baptised two days later on her parents’ first wedding anniversary. Her baptismal name was Marie-Bernarde. François and Louise had nine children, five of whom did not survive beyond the age of ten. Bernadette’s brother Jean-Marie alone has descendants alive today. The family lived in the little Pyrenean village of Lourdes and made their home at the Boly Mill with the rest of the Casterot family. Eventually they left the mill due to insufficient funds and found refuge in a disused prison cell called Le Cachot. The family of six lived in cramped and smelly conditions, sharing two beds between them. François accepted what work he could find whilst Bernadette battled against her poor health. Her strong desire to make her First Holy Communion led her to school with the Sisters of Nevers, who failed to be impressed by the fourteen year old and her limited understanding of theological concepts. The ‘Beautiful Girl Dressed in White’ On Thursday 11th February 1858, despite her mother’s reluctance, Bernadette set out into the bitter cold to gather firewood with her sister, Toinette, and a friend, Jeanne Abadie (nicknamed Baloume). Together the girls arrived at the Grotto of Massabielle, where Toinette and Baloume hurriedly crossed the freezing waters of the mill stream to collect firewood. Determined not to be defeated by her asthma, Bernadette bent down to remove her footwear. As she did so, she heard a noise like a gust of wind. The noise repeated. As she looked up at the Grotto she saw the branches of a wild rosebush moving. Out of the darkness of the cave appeared a soft light, followed by a beautiful girl dressed in white who smiled and beckoned her. Bernadette rubbed her eyes but the smiling girl did not disappear. Deciding to reach into her apron for her rosary, Bernadette became afraid and her hand fell.

BERNADETTE OF LOURDES
The Vision made the sign of the cross. Bernadette copied her and all fear vanished. She knelt and said the rosary as the Lady silently fingered her rosary beads. When the Vision signed for her to approach Bernadette did not dare and the beautiful girl dressed in white disappeared. The Second Apparition François and Louise soon became concerned by their eldest daughter’s tales of “Aquerò” – a respectful term in the local dialect meaning “that” – and forbade her from going to Massabielle. Three days passed before Bernadette was able to return. After High Mass on Sunday 14th February, during the second decade of the rosary, the Lady appeared to her. Bernadette sprinkled some holy water at the apparition and asked her to step forward if she was from God. The Lady smiled and moved slightly towards Bernadette. Meanwhile Baloume, who had pushed a small boulder down the cliff face, prompted Bernadette’s companions to flee from the scene in fear and in search of the local miller; Nicolau said that he had never seen anything more beautiful than Bernadette in a state of ecstasy. A Fortnight of Apparitions Rumours spread quickly about the young girl who was having visions. During the third apparition, on Thursday 18th February 1858, the Lady asked Bernadette to come to the Grotto of Massabielle every day for fifteen days. The apparition told Bernadette: “I do not promise to make you happy in this world but in the other.” “Pray for sinners” On Sunday 21st February, the crowd had swollen to over a hundred. Bernadette revealed that during the apparition the Lady looked sad and said: “Pray for sinners.” Dr Dozous, a local doctor, examined Bernadette while she was in ecstasy. He found her pulse and breathing to be normal with no sign of excitement (despite his initial scepticism he later became convinced that Our Lady had appeared to Bernadette). “Penitence, penitence, penitence” Soon the police became involved and Police Commissioner Jacomet interrogated Bernadette. (He later admitted that he was convinced that

BERNADETTE OF LOURDES
the girl was genuine.) Bernadette always remained faithful to her account of what she had seen, including during later interrogations by the Imperial Prosecutor, Dutour. Meanwhile François had been persuaded by Jacomet to forbid Bernadette from returning to the Grotto. He could not keep his daughter away for long. Bernadette said to her parents, “I must disobey you or Aquerò.” Early in the morning of Tuesday 23rd February, the Lady appeared to Bernadette at the Grotto and remained with her for an hour, during which she gave Bernadette three secrets, none of which Bernadette ever revealed. At the following apparition three hundred people were present to hear Bernadette pass on the Lady’s message of “Penitence, penitence, penitence”. “Go and drink at the spring and wash yourself in it” The apparition of Thursday 25th February caused wide astonishment. Kissing the ground as an act of penitence for sinners, Bernadette began to scrape the earth at the back of the cave, plastering her face with the muddy water and drinking it. She later revealed that the Lady had said to her: “Go and drink at the spring and wash yourself in it.” Not seeing any water, Bernadette had made her way towards the stream but the Lady called her back and indicated to the back of the cave. Later that day some returned and found a hole filled with water “as big as a soup tureen”: the more people drank from it the bigger the hole and the clearer the water became. Cures It is estimated that over a thousand people were present for the eleventh apparition on Sunday 28th February. A visiting priest attended the twelfth apparition, unaware of the clerical ban imposed by Abbé Peyramale and profoundly moved by Bernadette’s ecstasy and the crowd’s silent prayer. It was on this day that the first of seven cures, proclaimed by Monseigneur Laurence to be the “work of God” in a mandate on 18th January 1862, occurred Catherine Latapie-Chouat of Loubajac, about four miles from Lourdes, suffered from a paralysed right arm, a considerable handicap for someone whose livelihood depended on work such as spinning and knitting. She travelled to the Grotto with her two youngest children and plunged her arm into the pool of water discovered by Bernadette. Quite suddenly her arm

BERNADETTE OF LOURDES
became supple but almost immediately she started with labour pains: she was nine months pregnant. She rushed home and gave birth within minutes of her return. She was thirty nine years old. The spring now gushes forth several thousand gallons of water a day. The water has been tested for healing properties by scientists but they found none. Lourdes has become known for its “miracles”, “works of God” and uncountable incidences of healing. A Chapel and a Procession In the apparition of Tuesday 2nd March the Lady gave Bernadette two messages: “Go and tell the priests to build a chapel” and “People are to come here in procession.” Abbé Peyramale, to whom Bernadette imparted these messages, was a good man despite his gruff manner but was unhappy at the prospect of organised processions to the Grotto. Unaccustomed to instructions he commanded Bernadette to ask the Lady for her name. During the following apparition, however, the Lady simply smiled when Bernadette passed on his request and Bernadette returned to the parish priest with the reiterated message: “The Lady still wants the chapel.” Abbé Peyramale told Bernadette to ask the Lady for a sign. Perhaps she could make the rosebush at the Grotto flower – then he would build her chapel! “Que soy era Immaculada Councepciou” Thursday 4th March marked the last apparition of the fortnight. The whole town was in a state of excitement. A large group had been praying through the night and officials made elaborate plans to control the crowd. Estimates have varied between eight and twenty thousand people present. Silence fell among the crowd as Bernadette arrived shortly after seven in the morning and began to recite her rosary, moving about the Grotto on her knees. The apparition lasted about an hour, without incident, signs or revelation of the Lady’s name. It was three weeks before Bernadette returned to the grotto. On Thursday 25th March, on the feast of the Annunciation, Bernadette awoke at 4am with a compelling desire to go to the Grotto. When she arrived at the Grotto Bernadette found the Lady waiting for her and was overjoyed.

BERNADETTE OF LOURDES
After the rosary, Bernadette asked four times for the Lady’s name. At the fourth request, Aquerò stretched out her arms at her side, joined them at her breast and raised her eyes to the sky as she said: “Que soy era Immaculada Councepciou” (I am the Immaculate Conception). Bernadette rushed to the presbytery to tell the parish priest, who outwardly dismissed the girl’s statement. Inwardly he knew that the illiterate Bernadette could not have made this up. The Church had declared the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception four years previously. “So it is the Blessed Virgin,” he thought to himself. Barricading the Grotto Wednesday 7th April marked the seventeenth apparition. While in ecstasy Bernadette was unaware that the flame of a candle that she was holding licked her cupped hands for several minutes. Upon inspection of her hands Doctor Dozous found not the slightest trace of burns. After the apparition the public authorities barricaded the Grotto. The Prefect at Tarbes, Baron Massy, tried to discredit the events along with Bernadette, whom he attempted to admit to a mental institution. Abbé Peyramale, who had become a great friend and support to Bernadette, defended her but the Grotto remained closed. First Holy Communion Bernadette made her First Holy Communion on Thursday 3rd June, the feast of Corpus Christi, at the Convent of Sisters of Charity. On being asked whether her First Holy Communion or the Apparitions made her happier, she replied: “The two things go together but they cannot be compared. I was very happy with both.” The Final Apparition At about seven o’clock in the evening on the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Bernadette had the final apparition from the meadow beyond the far bank of the Gave, having been prevented by the barricades and the crowds from entering the Grotto. She later remarked that it was as though she was in her beloved Grotto itself and that the Lady was more beautiful than she had ever seen her.

BERNADETTE OF LOURDES
The Commission of Enquiry On 28th July 1858 Monseigneur Laurence, the Bishop of Tarbes, set up a Commission to make a complete and thorough inquiry into the events at Massabielle, which lasted three years. The Bishop announced its findings on 18th January 1862: “It is our judgment that Mary Immaculate, Mother of God, did really appear to Bernadette Soubirous on 11th February 1858, and on subsequent days, eighteen times in all, in the Grotto of Massabielle, close to the town of Lourdes.” Sister Marie-Bernarde Bernadette faced constant curiosity from outsiders and extremely poor health. She soon moved to the hospice run by the Sisters of Charity in Lourdes, where she remained for six years until she moved to the Convent of St Gildard and community of the Sisters of Charity in Nevers. She only referred to the apparitions when asked, saying: “I know nothing. I am good for nothing, useless.” Before leaving Lourdes on 4th July 1866 Bernadette was present at the inauguration of The Crypt, the “Chapel” requested by Our Lady. She bid farewell to her beloved Grotto, later saying: “The Grotto was my heaven; you will find me there at the foot of the rock.” Within three months of arrival in Nevers she received the “Last Sacraments” on what was considered to be her death bed. At the same time she took her vows of simple profession, repeated publicly in October 1867. As Sister Marie-Bernarde she tried to live a life of obscurity and devotion to her tasks as a nun but in 1874 she became too ill for active duties, suffering from chronic asthma, constant chest pains, abscesses, a tumour on the knee and bone decay. Bernadette died on 16th April 1879, aged 35. Thirty years later her body was exhumed in the cause of her beatification and was found to be in a state of perfect preservation: there was no decay. After re-burial her body was exhumed in 1913 and finally in 1925. Her body was placed in a glass casket and now rests in the chapel of the convent of St Gildard in Nevers. Pope Pius XI proclaimed Bernadette a Saint on 8th December 1933, the feast of the Immaculate Conception.

SOME SAYINGS OF BERNADETTE I shall always have enough health, but never enough love for Our Blessed Lord. I am entrusted with telling you what I have seen and heard; I am not entrusted with making you believe it. I shall not live an instant without loving. I was a broom for the Virgin Mary; when she no longer needed me she put me in my right place, which was behind the door. It is not necessary to give each other a keepsake when we love each other, but remember we must love and help others without counting the cost. I fear nothing because I have always told the truth. Jesus came on earth to be my model. I want to follow him and walk generously in his footsteps. O Mary, my good Mother, help me follow your example to be generous in every sacrifice Our Lord may ask of me during my life. I shall spend every moment loving. One who loves does not notice her trials; or perhaps more accurately, she is able to love them (her trials). From this moment on, anything concerning me is no longer of any interest to me. I must belong entirely to God, and to God alone. Never to myself. I must die to myself continually and accept trials without complaining. I work. I suffer and I love with no other witness than his heart.

PLACES OF WORSHIP WITHIN THE SANCTUARY THE GROTTO OF MASSABIELLE This small cave is at the very heart of Lourdes. This is the spot where Our Lady appeared to Bernadette eighteen times in 18581, a place where heaven and earth touched. Ever since that time it has been a place of pilgrimage, prayer and contemplation. In a niche above and to the right on the Grotto is a statue representing Our Lady of Lourdes. On the ground in front of the Grotto and slightly to the left is a plaque marking the spot where Bernadette knelt in prayer on the occasion of the first apparition. Benches often cover the plaque, so it is not always easy to find. Another plaque immediately in front of the Grotto shows where Pope John Paul II knelt in prayer on his visit to Lourdes. At the back of the Grotto, on the left, there is the spring discovered by Bernadette on 25th February 1858. This water is channelled to the Baths and the taps. Behind the altar, which is made of solid rock, at the back of the Grotto on the right, is a box for pilgrims’ petitions. Pilgrims move silently though the Grotto, usually entering from the left as we face it and departing to the right. Mass is celebrated in the Grotto each day (times and languages of the Masses are displayed in the Information Centre). The last Mass of the day is at 11.00pm and is usually in French. Many pilgrims like to visit the Grotto each day.

The 18th apparition was experienced by Bernadette on the Prairie because the access to the Grotto was closed off by a barrier. 18

PLACES OF WORSHIP WITHIN THE SANCTUARY
THE ADORATION CHAPEL The Adoration Chapel is to the left of the Church of St Bernadette and is all too easy to miss! It is available for silent prayer throughout the day and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 6.00am to 11.00pm each day during the summer. The chapel is built on twelve pillars representing the twelve apostles, and is a haven of peace and prayer.
For those who have not been to Lourdes before, a map is available at the Information Centre in the Sanctuary, which you will be next to on Saturday afternoon when you are having your hotel photograph taken. This map will show you the location of all the Sanctuary chapels and areas of interest.

A GUIDE TO THE PROCESSIONS IN LOURDES During our week in Lourdes we will participate as a pilgrimage in two processions – the Torchlight and the Blessed Sacrament. We will also process as a Diocese. In this article we explore the meaning of taking part in a procession. A procession is a journey which symbolises in mini-form what our pilgrimage is about. It is the courage to move out of our comfort zone, join with other people and seek to encounter the Lord. Every procession starts with one type of order – through the goodwill of all participants we get ourselves ready and in line – and ends with a different experience – we celebrate being together as “Church, People of God, Body of Christ, Temple of the Holy Spirit.” (Vatican 2) A procession is not: ✙ A race – we will all get to the final destination. There is no prize for being the first. Indeed in the Blessed Sacrament Procession the most honoured position is at the end of the Procession where the Bishop carries the Host. ✙ A march – we are each one of us unique individuals making together a pilgrim Church, not an army on the march. Our goal is unity not uniformity. ✙ A parade – many people will look on as we process through Lourdes, but we are not showing ourselves off to others. We are witnesses of faith obeying the command which Our Lady gave to Bernadette telling people to “come in procession”. A procession is: ✙ A humble and respectful walk accompanied by meditation, song and prayer. ✙ A community in which many different groups - a people of all nations - come together to worship. We do not choose the place where we walk – we accept humbly the place that is given to us in order to form part of that community. ✙ A reflection of what the Church is – the people of God walking towards the Light, overcoming tribulations on the way, renewing itself constantly under the action and the influence of the Holy Spirit. 22

THE WAY OF THE CROSS The Stations of the Cross (or Way of the Cross) follows stages in the journey Jesus took on his way to Calvary in Jerusalem. To follow the Stations of the Cross is to reflect on the suffering and death of our Lord Jesus. We give thanks for his unconditional love for each one of us and consider how we are living the gospel message of love and forgiveness. There are several sets of Stations of the Cross in Lourdes: The High Stations The entrance to the High Stations is opposite the entrance of the Upper Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. This rough and stony path winds its way for about a mile through a steep, wooded area. There are 115 gilded cast iron figures in the 15 stations. This path is unsuitable for wheelchair users and those unable to walk uphill. (One of our pilgrimage chaplains will lead able pilgrims and helpers along these stations each morning at 6.15am. It should conclude by 7.00am, so there is still time for breakfast before the remainder of the day’s activities) The Marble Stations (Low Stations) Commissioned to create a new set of Stations that would be accessible for all pilgrims, especially the sick and less able, the sculptress Maria de Faykod has created seventeen Stations carved in marble. In these stations the 15th depicts the closed tomb and the waiting of Mary on Holy Saturday; the 16th is “Jesus is risen” and the 17th Station depicts the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus. These Stations are situated just beyond the far bridge, alongside the river, on the prairie side. Underground Basilica of St Pius X There is a set of stations in the underground Basilica of St Pius X in the art form known as “Gemmail”; they are backlit through layers of coloured glass and are mounted on the walls of the basilica.

THE WAY OF THE CROSS The following reflections are meant to be starting points, a means to trigger personal thoughts, comments and prayer at each station. However if using the script as written, it lends itself to two or three voices at each station – if praying as a group, there is an opportunity for all to participate, if they wish. At each Station all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world. After each meditation, pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will.

WALK WITH ME Meditations on the Way of the Cross edited by Fr Gerald Coates RIP In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We sign ourselves with the Cross of Christ. Father, in Baptism we were signed with the Cross of Christ. There is an urgency in our Christian lives that allows no pause for we are indeed a pilgrim people. We cannot stand still, we cannot remain the same. As now we meditate again on the Way of the Cross we continue on our journey, seeking yourself. Be with us Lord as we accept the Cross that each of us must carry.

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
FIRST STATION: JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
The High Priest put a second question to him. ‘Are you the Christ, the son of the Blessed One?’ ‘I am’, said Jesus. Mark 14:60
The Prisoner, looking beyond his captors, said little in his own defence, responding only in honesty and truth. Because of this, they had already agreed his guilt.
Lord, we hear your voice declaring (for all who will listen) the mystery of Incarnation. We seek your silent face and acknowledge our need for forgiveness.
We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 27

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
SECOND STATION: JESUS CARRIES HIS CROSS We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the cloak and dressed him in his own clothes, and led him away to crucify him. Matthew 27:31
Condemned, He was taken by force of arms at dawn. Having beaten him, they led him away for execution to a place beyond the city limits.
Lord, you accepted your Cross and began your final journey; - it had to be done. May I accept my Cross, understanding that my journey cannot be made without it.
We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 28

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
THIRD STATION: JESUS FALLS THE FIRST TIME We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
Meanwhile, Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard and a servant girl came up to him and said: ‘You were with Jesus the Galilean’. But he denied it. Matthew 26:69, 70
Weakened, his footsteps faltered as he stumbled, hand outstretched, fearful of the ground. His friend watched the Galilean fall, and said – nothing.
Lord, our lack of faith breaks the rhythm of our footfall and the closing earth surrounds us. There is darkness, loneliness and emptiness as we ask ‘Where are you?’
We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 29

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
FOURTH STATION: JESUS MEETS HIS MOTHER We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
At Cana, in Galilee, Jesus had said, ‘Woman, why turn to me? My time has not come yet’. His Mother said to the servants ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ John 2:4,5
Prevented by the force of arms from coming close, a Mother seeks her Son. The disappeared one taken from her in the night. Soon she will be left with only her memories.
Lord, how can a Mother see her Son suffer and not suffer herself? Yet, step by step, she stayed with you, from a Stable to Nazareth and on to Cana. Now in this press of Passover people, she is with you. In a short while, she will be found standing by the Cross. Walk with me, Mary, on the path I must travel. Stay with me.
We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 30

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
FIFTH STATION: SIMON OF CYRENE HELPS JESUS TO CARRY HIS CROSS We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
As they were leading him away, they seized on a man, Simon, from Cyrene, who was coming in from the country and made him shoulder the Cross and carry it behind Jesus. Luke 23:26
Unable to walk on alone, a man taken from the crowd is told to help him. There is no choice. Condemned men must die – at the appropriate place – for the sake of the people.
Lord, Simon was a face from the crowd, an extra shoulder and a pair of hands to share the load. May we give to others a lift on the way, expecting nothing, offering everything.
We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 31

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
SIXTH STATION: VERONICA WIPES THE FACE OF JESUS We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
Large numbers of people followed him, and of women, too, who mourned and lamented for him. Luke 23:27
Sweating with exhaustion from his ill treatment, he pauses for breath. A woman, ignoring personal risk, wipes his face with a cloth. Her kindness done, she becomes again another person, one among many, - street side faces on a Friday morning.
Lord, who she was, where she came from, does not matter. She cared enough to risk all – and asked nothing in return.
We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 32

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
SEVENTH STATION: JESUS FALLS A SECOND TIME We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
When he went out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there: ‘This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.’ And again with an oath he denied it. Matthew 26: 71, 72
Broken by pain, he falls again. The Nazarene, eyesight blurred, momentarily sees his friend gazing at him. But neither can speak, He turns and is gone.
Lord, Peter was a fearful man and he acted out of fear. His denial was our denial, day after day, year after year. Sometimes we too claim that we do not know you, fearful of the cost. Maybe tomorrow Lord, maybe it will be easier then. We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 33

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
EIGHTH STATION: JESUS COMFORTS THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
Jesus turned to the women and said: ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me: weep rather for yourselves and your children.’. Luke 23:28
Protesting at his treatment by the authorities, the Women of Peace gather by the road. A passing word, and they move him on. The women are left weeping, confused.
Lord, too often women have raised their voices at the folly of men. Too often they have been ignored. May we, their children, listen to their words and their cries: and hearing them, hear you. We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 34

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
NINTH STATION: JESUS FALLS A THIRD TIME We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
A little later, the bystanders came up and said to Peter, ‘You are one of them for sure! Why your accent gives you away.’ Then he started calling down curses on himself and swearing ‘I do not know the man.’ Matthew 26:73, 74
Beaten, but now within sight of the Hill, face down in the dust. Unrecognisable. Voiceless.
Lord, time and again we almost make it, and turning, dejected and disheartened, we realise our failure. Even then, Lord, you are with us. It’s time we were moving, It’s time to start again.
We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 35

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
TENTH STATION: JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
I can count every one of my bones and there they glare at me, gloating.
Psalm 22:17-18
The shared out my clothing among them. They cast lots for my clothes.
John 19:24
Stripped, he is prepared for public shame. Bruised, he is silent. With shoulders bared he accepts the inevitable. Besides, the crowd are waiting.
Lord, strip me of all I carry; strip me of everything that prevents me from carrying my Cross. And when I am stripped be there to sustain me.
We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 36

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
ELEVENTH STATION: JESUS IS NAILED TO THE CROSS We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
When they reached the place called the Skull, they crucified him there. Luke 23:33
Nailed to the wooden frame that stretched wide his arms and secured his feet, there, on the Hill, he is raised above the people.
Lord, the hammering of nails has echoed across this earth as we repeatedly crucify you. Man against man, nation against nation. Yet from that Cross of Suffering with failing voice you called, ‘Father forgive them for they do not know what they do.’ Father, forgive us. We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 37

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
TWELFTH STATION: JESUS DIES ON THE CROSS We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
It was now about the sixth hour and with the sun eclipsed, a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. The veil of the temple was torn right down the middle and when Jesus had cried out in a loud voice, he said ‘Father into your hands I commend my spirit’. With these words he breathed his last. Luke 23:44-46
Naked on the Cross, he gazed at those whose fists were raised in anger, until he could see no more. There, in the late afternoon, with head bowed, body and spirit exhausted, he ceased the struggle. It was done.
Lord, how are we to understand those hours late on a Friday before Passover? How can we share the emptiness of those who walked with you, seeing you now defeated, hung between thieves? So this was where all the hours and days of walking and talking finally ended. Defeat on a Hill – and a satisfied crowd – Finished. We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 38

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
THIRTEENTH STATION: JESUS IS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
Take care of every bone The Lord will not let one be broken. Psalm 34:20
Lifeless, his savaged body lay, once again, in the caring arms of his Mother. Journey over. Task complete. Failure in the sight of men.
Lord, the final act of your friends was to accept your lifeless body for burial. Accept, Lord, our failures, our mistakes and our careless ways. Bury them, Lord, with the suffering of your Cross.
We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 39

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
FOURTEENTH STATION: JESUS IS LAID IN THE TOMB We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with spices in linen cloths, following the custom of Jewish burial. John 19:40
Burial did not take long. Laying him out nearby (before the last light and the coming Festival) they covered him with a cloth. ‘It is time we were gone.’ Turning into the dusk they left him.
Lord, it is over, the Way of the Cross has been walked. The story has been told and prophecy fulfilled. ‘What now?’ they must have said to one another as they walked into the chill night air.
We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 40

FIFTEENTH STATION: THE CLOSED TOMB We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
Wait for the Lord, and let your heart take courage, wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:14
Your body, so cruelly treated, is now at rest and guarded, lest it be stolen. Your friends and family grieve, lost without your words of comfort. Loss of a friend, of hope. They must wait one more day, they need patience and faith.
Lord, many of us know and understand grief and mourning, and so we share with those who await your Son. Through your Holy Spirit, enlighten our hearts to the truth of the resurrection, that we may know comfort and hope even in our sorrow.
We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 41

SIXTEENTH STATION: HE IS RISEN We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body. Luke 24:2-3 The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground but the men said to them. “Why do you look for living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.” Luke 24:5
Gone? No body left to care for, no rituals to follow. A callous trick, a final humiliation? Can it be true, risen? Is it possible? So much to take in, is there really hope? Risen?
Lord, we believe that you rose from the dead, butsometimes we find it hard to hope. Sometimes your love and salvation seem out of reach. Be with us, and through your Holy Spirit, guide us to know your constant saving presence with us.
We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 42

SEVENEENTH STATION: THE PILGRIMS OF EMMAUS We all say together: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free; you are the Saviour of the world.
While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. Luke 24:15-16 “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?” Luke 24:32
Eyes that cannot see and hearts that burn within. Recognizing your presence among us in the exploring of scripture and the breaking of bread.
Lord, you give us the means to come closer to you, to understand more and more the mystery of your dying and rising from the dead, the mystery of our salvation. Help us each time we hear your word, each time we are present for the Eucharist, to come to know you more and more. Give us hearts that burn within us, inspiring us to build your kingdom here on earth. We pause and then say together: I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me whatever you will 43

PRAYER 2022 The whole of our pilgrimage is a time of prayer – everything we do and say can be offered to God in prayer, but it is good to meet together and put time aside for structured group prayer. Our comprehensive programme in Lourdes means not every day is the same therefore whenever possible the chaplain will arrange a time of prayer for your group. So do check for notices about time for prayer in your group and if in doubt ask your chaplain. If there is no group prayer on any particular day, you can use this format for your own personal time of prayer. Wherever and whenever your group finds time to pray together, you may choose to use a format provided here, which relates to the pattern of readings that we use at our daily Mass in Lourdes. You may like to add the following depending on your situation. ✙ add songs, at the beginning and the end, you will find many options in this book. ✙ The silence noted can be as long as suits your group, 5 seconds to a minute or so. ✙ The reflection can be a prompt to conversation and a time for sharing together or in smaller groups. Or equally some quiet reflection time. ✙ The prayer can be led by the clergy of the group or lay people can also be encouraged to lead. N.B. Wednesday’s extended evening prayer will need more preparation time prior to the prayer.
PRAYER FOLDER Each Hotel and Accueil group has a Prayer Folder in which prayers, petitions, thoughts, reflections even drawings can be recorded at any time. The folders will be taken to Mass every day and placed on the sanctuary for the duration of the Mass, after which they will be taken back to the hotels. At the end of Mass on the final day of our pilgrimage the contents of all the folders will be taken and placed in the Grotto. 47

THE THEME FOR THE YEAR Each year there is a theme for all pilgrimages coming to Lourdes. The theme this year is:
OUR LADY SAID TO BERNADETTE, ‘GO AND TELL THE PRIESTS…’ Information about the theme of the year is available from the Lourdes bookshop located near the Information Centre in the Domain. For the next three years the Pastoral Theme will be taken from the message that Mary entrusted to Bernadette on 2nd March 1858 during the thirteenth apparition “Go and tell the priests to build a chapel here and that people should come in procession.” 2022 2023 2024
“Go tell the priests ….” “…. to build a chapel here ….” “…. and that people should come in procession.” “Go tell the priests ….”
There are two aspects to this phrase: “Go tell ….” and “…. the priests ….” “Go tell ….” This is a request from Mary, that, following the thirteen apparitions, Bernadette now spreads the word about the graces she has received from the time spent with Our Lady during the apparitions. An instruction to ‘spread the word’ is a recurring theme throughout scripture. In the days before technology the only way to do this was in person, passing the message on verbally, during a physical encounter – like the encounters between Our Lady and Bernadette. Many pilgrims returning from Lourdes, wanting to share their experience of pilgrimage, may well try to ‘tell’ friends and family about what they experienced during their time in Lourdes. The difficulty is that if the listener has no knowledge of Lourdes or Pilgrimage, their understanding will be limited. Imagine how difficult it must have been for the fourteenyear-old Bernadette to try and tell anyone about her apparitions and get them to believe in the messages she is asked by Our Lady to pass on to the priests. 48

PRAYERS
At the time of the apparitions the Parish Priest in Lourdes was Father Peyramale and it was to him that Bernadette had to take the message from Our Lady. In Bernadette’s shoes, from the Grotto to the parish church In 2022, the sanctuary and the parish of Lourdes is offering pilgrims the opportunity to follow the route that Bernadette took to go and tell Fr Peyramale the words spoken by Our Lady. This path will lead pilgrims to the door of the old presbytery, on which Bernadette knocked before meeting with the parish priest. Then, pilgrims can go to the parish church where the font in which Bernadette was baptised still stands. In the church pilgrims can also visit an exhibition about Father Peyramale and the other priests of the parish at that time. In the crypt pilgrims can also see the tomb of Father Peyramale. “…. the priests ….” Apart from the parish priest of Lourdes there were other priests living in Lourdes at the time of the apparitions and they were all involved with hearing about the messages that Bernadette brought from Our Lady. This year, while in Lourdes, we are encouraged to reflect on the important place that our priests have in our own spiritual lives. Fr Horacio Brito, Missionary of the Immaculate Conception of Lourdes, Chapelain of Lourdes reflects on the link between priestly ministry and the Motherhood of Mary: The priestly ministry has something of the motherhood of Mary since he is called to impart treasure, of which he is the guardian, while being aware that it is a Gospel, the Good News, of which he is neither the master nor the owner. For a priest, wanting to bear fruit is a legitimate desire, but the Holy Spirit has its own laws to legitimise his ministerial activity. In fact, a priest is fruitful: ✙ If he conscientiously defends his position as a simple worker “I am the handmaid of the Lord (Luke 1:38) ✙ If he knows how to balance his physical commitment to the community with the awareness of his own unworthiness: “He has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant.” (Luke 1:48)

PRAYERS
✙ If he admits that he must plough the earth and sow the seeds while being convinced that the irrigation and the harvest are graces which belong to God: “Do whatever he tells you” (John 2:5) ✙ If he is sure that the Lord will never abandon him: “His mother treasured these things in her heart” (Luke 2:51) ✙ If his devotion to the Kingdom does not remain abstract and intangible but is revealed by a palpable visible and concrete entry into the body, which is the church, nourished by the Word, the Sacraments and communion in charity: “All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers”. (Acts 1:14) Pray for Priests This year the sanctuary is proposing that each pilgrim entrusts a priest to the intercession of the Virgin Mary. It will be an opportunity to remember the priests who have accompanied us all our life through the sacraments, preaching and spiritual support. This is how the Arundel and Brighton Pilgrimage will pray for our priests ✙ Individual cards will be prepared, each carrying the name of an Arundel and Brighton Priest, Deacon or Seminarian printed on it. ✙ Blank cards will also be available for any pilgrim to write the name of a priest who is not from this diocese – maybe a family member or friend – they would like included. ✙ All these cards will be taken down to St Bernadette’s altar where we will be gathering for our Opening Mass and placed in an urn. ✙ Each evening these names will be caried in the Torchlight procession. ✙ On Wednesday, our last evening in Lourdes, candles (one for every Priest, Deacon and Seminarian in the diocese) will be distributed between the Hotel / Accueil groups, to be taken down to the candlebank as part of Evening Prayer of the last night.

PROGRAMME IN LOURDES Important •
Sometimes, it can happen that a service is moved to another place or times are altered. Please, therefore, check with your leader and your hotel notice board daily.
•
Your group chaplains and leaders will arrange visits to the Grotto and Baths. They may also make arrangements for booking visits to the places Bernadette knew.
•
The ‘Chemin de Calvaire’ – Way of the Cross – above the town, may be used only by Able Pilgrims (the ‘High Stations’). It is exhausting. In addition, the paving is very poor. There is a beautiful Way of the Cross on the Prairie – this can be used by all pilgrims.

Processional 1. Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live, a place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive. Built of hopes and dreams and visions, rock of faith and vault of grace; here the love of Christ shall end divisions. All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place. 2.

Acts 1: 6 - 14
So, when they had come together, they asked him. ‘Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?’ He replied, ‘It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’ When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. While he was going and they were gazing up towards heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up towards heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.’ Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away. When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas son of James. All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers.

“After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightening, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, “He has been raised from the dead, and indeed is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.” This is my message for you.’ So, they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them and said, ‘Greetings!’ And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me. Homily

Then he said, “This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and store all my grain in them, and I will say to my soul: My soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come; take things easy, eat, drink and have a good time.” But God said to him, “Fool! This very night the demand will be made for your soul; and this hoard of yours, whose will it be then?” So it is when a man stores up treasures for himself in place of making himself rich in the sight of God.’

All: Our Lady said to Bernadette, ‘Go and tell the priests…’ (Silence is kept) Reflection Today we gather for mass with our brothers and sisters from the other pilgrimages in Lourdes. We will hear prayers in languages other than our own. This year we have been reminded of the horror of war. The war in Ukraine has brought the reality of violence very close to home, to a people who seem like us. Sadly, at any one time there is large scale violence or war somewhere in the world. We take time to think about what Jesus is telling us in the Gospel about our own lives and what we need to store up in our lives. What does your soul need? 80

Sunday 31 July INTERNATIONAL MASS IN ST PIUS X BASILICA AT 9.30 a.m. Reading Ecclesiastes 1:2; 2:21 - 23 Vanity of vanities, the Preacher says. Vanity of vanities. All is vanity. For so it is that a man who has laboured wisely, skillfully and successfully must leave what is his own to someone who has not toiled for it at all. This, too, is vanity and great injustice; for what does he gain for all the toil and strain that he has undergone under the sun? What of all his laborious days, his cares of office, his restless nights? This, too, is vanity. Gospel Luke 12: 13 - 23 A man in the crowd said to Jesus, ‘Master, tell my brother to give me a share of our inheritance.’ ‘My friend.’ he replied, ‘who appointed me your judge, or the arbitrator of your claims?’ The he said to them, ‘Watch, and be on your guard against avarice of any kind, for a man’s life is not made secure by what he owns, even when he has more than he needs. Then he told them a parable: ‘There was once a rich man who, having had a good harvest from his land, thought to himself, “What am I to do? I have not enough room to store my crops,” Then he said, “This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and store all my grain in them, and I will say to my soul: My soul , you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come; take things easy, eat, drink and have a good time.” But God said to him, “Fool! This very night the demand will be made for your soul; and this hoard of yours, whose will it be then?” So it is when a man stores up treasures for himself in place of making himself rich in the sight of God.’

THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION Pope Paul VI published the “new rite” for the Sacrament of Penance in 1974, calling it the Sacrament of Reconciliation in order to bring a new understanding of this great gift from God. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a call for a change of heart; it is a symbol of life, dying to sin and rising to new life. During our pilgrimage we shall have the opportunity to attend a Reconciliation Service and celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation, where we humbly acknowledge that we are sinners and desire to change our ways to God’s way of love. We acknowledge our faults, our failings, and our sinfulness; say sorry, make amends and seek God’s forgiveness. It is a Sacrament of healing and forgiveness; it brings joy and hope to our lives. Through it we become reconciled to God, with others and ourselves. The new rite encourages the penitent to treasure a moment that should be one of the most beautiful moments of his or her life. The heavens rejoice over the sinner who repents and is reconciled to God (Lk 15: 7). We too should rejoice! If you are uncertain of what to do and what to say, don’t worry. Guidance may be given during the service but if not, simply approach the priest for private confession with an open heart and ask him to help you make your confession and celebrate the Sacrament. There is also the Chapel of Reconciliation in the building known as Accueil Jean-Paul II, close to the statue of the crowned Virgin, where Confessions are heard daily from 10.00 – 11.15 am and from 2.30 – 6.00 pm. Any of the priests on our pilgrimage would be happy to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation with you by arrangement. Reflection To prepare to celebrate the Sacrament we think about the ways in which we have failed to embrace God’s love for us, we consider the ways we have hurt others and diminished our own dignity through our lack of love. It is all too easy for our examination of conscience and our confession to become “shopping lists” without reflecting deeply on why we sin. We should try to recognise our weaknesses and pray that through the celebration of this joyful Sacrament we will be able to put things right. 84
DAB-104 Listing.qxp_Layout 1 15/07/2022 12:21 Page 85
A short Act of Contrition O my God, because you are so good, I am very sorry that I have sinned against you, and with the help of your grace I will try not to sin again. THE WORDS OF ABSOLUTION The priest extends his hands over the penitent’s head and uses the following or similar words in absolution: God, the Father of mercies, through the death and resurrection of his Son has reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins. Through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace, and I absolve you from your sins, in the name of the Father, + and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Prayer attributed to an Eastern Mystic I was a revolutionary when I was young and all my prayer to God was: “Lord, give me the energy to change the world.” As I approached middle age and realised that half my life had gone without me changing even one person, I changed my prayer to: “Lord, help me change those who are close to me, just my family and friends, and I’ll be happy.” Now I’m an old man and my one and only prayer is this: “Lord, give me the grace to change myself.” If I’d prayed this from the very start, I should not have wasted my life.

THE TORCHLIGHT (MARIAN) PROCESSION The Torchlight procession dates back to the earliest times when pilgrims would end their day’s pilgrimage by saying the Rosary together and singing hymns to Our Lady and takes place every evening, starting at 9.00pm. As a pilgrimage we take part in the procession on one evening during the week, but pilgrims may take part on other evenings if they wish. On the evening when we are officially processing as a diocese we will gather and form up behind the diocesan banner. Pilgrims in wheelchairs or on stretchers gather in one area, walkers in another, the two groups coming together when the procession begins. This start is symbolic as we will journey from separation to unity. All participants carry a lighted candle which is a reminder of our baptism, when we received the gift of faith. In Lourdes, the candle-lit procession bears witness to our faith, hope and love of God and a reminder that we are called to be “the light of Christ” to all we meet in the world. During the procession the Rosary will be prayed in a variety of languages, reflecting the different nationalities present in Lourdes at the time. However the ‘Glory be’ is always said in Latin, because Our Lady joined in with Bernadette on the Glory Be of each decade that she recited. The following two hymns are also usually sung: “Immaculate Mary” and “Holy Virgin, by God’s decree” – these hymns are often printed on the paper candle holder. Having processed right round the Esplanade, those using wheelchairs are placed at the foot of the Basilica steps. While this is happening walkers are directed into processing from side to side of rosary square, which prolongs the procession and creates a wonderful weaving of light, as night falls. Eventually all those processing are gathered in front of the Rosary Basilica and the evening concludes with a hymn to Our Lady, usually the “Salve Regina”, after which pilgrims will be invited to offer one another a sign of peace. After the procession some people like to go to the Grotto or to the candle bank to continue their prayer. 86

All: Our Lady said to Bernadette, ‘Go and tell the priests…’ (Silence is kept) Reflection Here, in this reading from John’s gospel we see how, even in great physical pain, Jesus is thinking about what people need. Mary the mother of Jesus is there, as always in times of distress. Jesus gives his mother to his friend, and his friend to his mother, so they can comfort each other. In the Church we also see this moment as Jesus giving us his mother. In our loss, whether of a person we love, a career, a purpose, a loss of physical or mental good health, we have Mary the mother of Jesus, ever present with us in prayer for our consolation. We also have each other, for God knows and God understands. 88

GESTE DE L’EAU (The Water Gesture) On the 25th February 1858, the occasion of the 9th apparition, Our Lady of Lourdes asked Bernadette to “Go and drink at the spring and wash yourself in it”. After a moment of confusion where Bernadette thought, Our Lady was referring to the nearby River Gave Our Lady made a sign with her finger directing Bernadette to go under the rock of the cave. Bernadette describes the moment “I went there and found water which was like mud.” (1) This important event in the story of Lourdes inspired the creation of the baths next to the Grotto. For many decades pilgrims have been drawn to the baths to be immersed in the water derived from the spring believing such action may bring healing. With the onset of the covid pandemic the opportunity for immersion has stopped and since September 2021 pilgrims are invited to come to the baths to take part in what is called Geste de L’eau (The Water Gesture). This gesture offers the opportunity to engage with the spring water by washing our hands and face and to drink of the water. Pilgrims can attend the baths either on their own, or with family, or with friends. Because currently there isn’t the opportunity for full immersion, therefore no requirement to remove clothing, pilgrims can experience the Geste de L’eau in mixed gender groups. Upon arrival pilgrims may have to wait seated on outside, covered benches before entering the baths area. This waiting time is a good opportunity to focus and prepare, to consider prayer intentions. Once inside the area pilgrims are greeted by experienced volunteers who will offer guidance through the short process. This will involve a brief explanation of the significance of the gesture as it relates to the 9th Apparition of Our Lady to Bernadette, followed by an invitation to gather for a few moments of private prayer facing an Icon of Our Lady. Then, when ready, pilgrims are asked to bare their hands and forearms to receive the water which will be poured over their cupped hands three times. Firstly, to wash their hands, secondly to wash their face and thirdly to drink the water. 90

MONDAY 1 AUGUST
The gesture finishes with a short prayer led by the volunteers. Our Lady of Lourdes…Pray for us St. Bernadette…Pray for us Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Since the start of the Geste de L’eau some pilgrims have said they miss the opportunity for immersion in the baths. However, many pilgrims also say they very much appreciate the opportunity to experience the gesture along with friends and family. From a personal view of the gesture from the perspective of a pilgrim and as a volunteer I found the experience welcoming, inclusive, gentle and moving. At the time of writing the custom is for adult pilgrims (unless exempt) to wear masks when arriving at and leaving the baths area. During the gesture itself pilgrims will be asked to remove their masks. Ray Mooney

2 Corinthians1: 3 – 7
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, a gentle Father and the God of all consolation, who comforts us in all our sorrows, so that we can offer others, in their sorrows, the consolation that we have received from God ourselves. Indeed, as the sufferings of Christ Peter and John overflow to us, so, through Christ, does our consolation overflow. When we are made to suffer, it is for your consolation and salvation. When, instead, we are comforted, this should be a consolation to you, supporting you in patiently bearing the same sufferings as we bear. And our hope for you is confident, since we know that, sharing our sufferings, you will also share our consolations.

THE BLESSED SACRAMENT PROCESSION AND BLESSING OF THE SICK This procession is almost as old as the first pilgrimages to Lourdes. It was first linked to the movement of the Blessed Sacrament from the Crypt to the Grotto where adoration took place. But the sick were detached from this and so a new form was introduced which included the blessing of the sick. This procession and blessing of the sick takes place every day at 5.00pm. As a pilgrimage we will take part on one particular day, though pilgrims can attend on other days if they so wish. Pilgrims who are unable or do not wish to process will go direct to the underground Basilica of St Pius X where they can participate in prayer and adoration by watching the progress of the procession towards the Basilica on the large screens. The Blessed Sacrament is carried, by a Bishop, in solemn procession, under a canopy and accompanied by priests and deacons, from the Crypt of the Rosary Basilica to the underground Basilica. Pilgrims gathered in Rosary Square lead the procession into the Basilica. Once everyone is gathered there is a time of silent adoration before the Blessed Sacrament – we don’t have to do anything, we just have to ‘be’, and feel the love of God. The Cure d’Ars, when asked what he did during his time of private prayer said “I look at Him and He looks at me” In Lourdes the service of Benediction is amplified by a small procession. The main celebrant, carrying the monstrance, is followed by other bishops and a procession of doctors. As they move round the altar the procession stops at frequent intervals to bless the sick and disabled. As the priest makes the sign of the cross with the monstrance containing the Sacred Host, our faith tells us that it is Our Lord himself who blesses us, and we receive the benediction with reverence, head bowed.

Tuesday 2 August MASS WITH ANOINTING OF THE SICK When you speak to any pilgrim who has been to Lourdes on our Annual Diocesan Pilgrimage, most will tell you that one of the highlights is Mass with the Anointing of the Sick. The origin of anointing and prayers for strength to accept sickness dates back to Jesus’ time. In the Gospels we find many references to Jesus caring for the sick and disabled and it was good that He gave special attention to them. You will recall the story of the paralytic, where Jesus said “Your sins are forgiven” “But to prove to you that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” - He said to the paralytic - “Get up and pick up your bed and go off home” (Matthew 9:3, 6-8). “The Apostles set off to preach repentance and they anointed many sick people with oil.” (Mark 6:12-15). Also, on many occasions He would say to those calling for help “Do you believe?” You will recall the leper who came to Jesus after sunset – “If it be your will, you have power to make me clean”. Jesus was moved to pity, held out His hand and touched him and said “I will, be clean.” (Mark 1:40-45). Note that the leper said “If it be your will”. Jesus knows what is best for us. He taught us in the ‘Our Father’ – “Thy will be done”. “Is there a man among you who would hand his son a stone when he asked for bread, or a snake for a fish? If you know to give your children what is good, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good things to those who love Him” (Matthew 7:9-11). In his agony in the garden of Gethsemane, He prayed “Abba (Father) everything is possible for you – take this cup away from me; but let it be as you, not I, would have it.” (Mark 14:36). When at home, struggling to be faithful members of the Church, or here in Lourdes awaiting to receive the Sacrament, we must try and pray for the graces to accept God’s will in every day of our lives. God will answer our prayers for good health and relief from pain, in His own way and time and in the way best for each of us. Prayer for each other is the best gift for us all now, on our Pilgrimage and when we go back home. 98

TUESDAY 2 AUGUST
Who may receive the Sacrament of Anointing? Certainly all those who have been baptised; have reached the use of reason; those who are seriously unwell or profoundly disabled; those who are very elderly, or extremely frail. During the Anointing, all receiving the Sacrament can be assured of a remembrance in prayer by all pilgrims. It is an added blessing to receive the Sacrament during Mass celebrated by Bishop Richard and the priests. If you have any queries, speak to your Chaplain or Deacon; your leaders will keep you informed about the celebration. The Rite of Anointing The Liturgy for Anointing is well prepared and celebrated. The Bishop and priests lay their hands, in silence, on the heads of those to be anointed; prayers and blessing of oil follows; then the Sign of the Cross with the oil on the foreheads “Through this holy anointing, may the Lord in His love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit” and the hands “May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up”. How should you be prepared? Have Faith in Jesus Christ. Faith is a special gift; treasure it through prayer when you go to Mass, visit the Grotto and take part in the daily celebrations. Pray to accept God’s will for you here in Lourdes and at home. It is good to be reconciled – to confess and receive absolution. Our young helpers are an inspiration to us; they look so happy to be helpers. Smile with them!! It is important to invite them to pray with you and for you. Bernadette said “My vocation is that of being sick”. Rev. Canon Seamus Hester

We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory! Lord, God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Refrain Lord, Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; 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, have mercy on us. Refrain For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory God, the glory of God the Father. Amen. Refrain Paul Inwood
Reading James 5:13 - 16 If any one of you is in trouble, he should pray; if anyone is feeling happy, he should sing a psalm. If one of you is ill, he should send for the elders of the church, and they must anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord and pray over him. The prayer of faith will save the sick man and the Lord will raise him up again; and if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven. So confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, and this will cure you; the heartfelt prayer of a good man works very powerfully.

Psalm Be with me, Lord Be with me, Lord, when I am in trouble, be with me, Lord, I pray. 1.
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, Most High, who abide in the shadow of our God, say to the Lord, “My refuge and fortress, the God in whom I trust.”
2.
No evil shall befall you, no pain come near, for his angels stand close by your side, Guarding you always and bearing you gently, watching over your life.
3.
Those who cling to the Lord live secure in his love, lifted high those who trust in his name, call on the Lord, he will never forsake you, he will bring you salvation and joy.

Gospel Luke 18: 35 - 43 Now as he drew near to Jericho there was a blind man sitting at the side of the road begging. When he heard the crowd going past he asked what was it was all about, and they told him that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by. So he called out ‘Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me’. The people in front scolded him and told him to keep quiet, but he shouted all the louder, ‘Son of David, have pity on me’. Jesus stopped and ordered them to bring the man to him, and when he came up, asked him, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ ‘Sir,’ he replied ‘let me see again.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Receive your sight. Your faith has saved you.’ And instantly his sight returned and he followed him praising God, and all the people who saw it gave praise to God for what had happened.

How deep the Father’s Love for us
How deep the Father's love for us, How vast beyond all measure, That He should give His only Son To make a wretch His treasure. How great the pain of searing loss The Father turns His face away, As wounds which mar the Chosen One Bring many sons to glory. Behold the man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders; Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice Call out among the scoffers. It was my sin that held Him there Until it was accomplished; His dying breath has brought me life I know that it is finished. I will not boast in anything, No gifts, no power, no wisdom; But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection. Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer; But this I know with all my heart His wounds have paid my ransom. Stuart Townend

Anointing
We cannot measure (to the tune of Ye banks and braes)
1.
We cannot measure how you heal or answer every suffr’s prayer, yet we believe your grace responds where faith and doubt unite to care. Your hands, though bloodied on the cross, survive to hold and heal and warn, to carry all through death to life and cradle children yet unborn.
2.
The pain that will not go away, the guilt that clings from things long past, the fear of what the future holds, are present as if meant to last. But present too is love which tends the hurt we never hoped to find, the private agonies inside, the memories that haunt the mind.
3.
So some have come who need your help and some have come to make amends, as hands which shaped and saved the world are present in the touch of friends. Lord, let your Spirit meet us here to mend the body, mind and soul, to disentangle peace from pain and make your broken people whole.

During this time we will sing the following as time permits: O Changeless Christ O changeless Christ, for ever new, who walked our earthly ways, still draw our hearts as once you drew the hearts of other days. As once you spoke by plain and hill or taught by shore and sea, so be today our teacher still, O Christ of Galilee. As wind and storm their master heard and his command fulfilled, may troubled hearts receive your word, the tempest-tossed be stilled. And as of old who prayed your healing hand was shown, so be your touch upon us laid, unseen but not unknown. In broken bread, in wine outpoured, your new and living way proclaim to us, O risen Lord, O Christ of this our day. O changeless Christ, till life is past your blessing still be given; then bring us home, to taste at last the timeless joys of heaven. Timothy Dudley-Smith

You shall crawl on your belly and eat dust every day of your life. I will make you enemies of each other: you and the woman, your offspring and her offspring. It will crush your head and you will strike its heel.’ The man named his wife ‘Eve’ because she was the mother of all those who live. Psalm Here I am Lord, I come to do your will.

Gospel Luke 1: 26 – 38 The angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, so highly favoured! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Listen! You are to conceive and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I am a virgin?’ ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you,’ the angel answered, ‘and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. Know this too: your kinswoman Elizabeth has, in her old age, herself conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.’ ‘I am the handmaid of the Lord,’ said Mary, ‘let what you have said be done to me.’ And the angel left her.

Deep night hath come down on this rough-spoken world, And the banners of darkness are boldly unfurled; And the tempest-tossed Church, all her eyes are on thee; They look to thy shining, sweet Star of the Sea!
3.
He gazed on thy soul, it was spotless and fair, For the empire of sin it had never been there; None ever had owned thee, dear Mother, but He. And He blest thy clear shining, sweet Star of the Sea!
4.
Earth gave Him one lodging; t'was deep in thy breast, And God found a home where the sinner finds rest; His home and His hiding-place both were in thee, He was won by thy shining, sweet Star of the Sea!

Oh, blissful and calm was the wonderful rest That thou gavest thy God in they virginal breast; For the heaven he left found heaven in thee, And he shone in thy shining, sweet star of the sea.

WEDNESDAY EVENING Extended evening prayer for the last night Leader: For our prayer this evening we have two activities. Together we will look back over the week and then look ahead to our return home. Please follow on at page 127 in your pilgrimage handbook. Activity one- looking back over the week. Leader: Pope Francis has asked the whole Church to engage in a Synod process. He asks us to take time to ENCOUNTER God, LISTEN to each other and DISCERN. This evening is an opportunity to look back over our time together on pilgrimage, the encounters and listening which we have experienced and engage with what God is saying to us. 1.
In twos or threes spend 20mins or so looking at the questions below. (You may want to use the space next to the questions to write your thoughts which you can then look back on during the coming year.)
2.
Read each question together, spend a quiet moment thinking about your week and then if you would like to, share your thoughts in answer to the question.
3.
There is no need to comment on or agree with what is being said, we will all have experienced the week differently. Simply allow each other space to share this time of reflection without remark. Just listen.
4.
There is no need to share unless you are comfortable to do so. If you do share, ask the Holy Spirit to guide your words.
We begin by listening to the word of God. Here is a short extract from today’s Gospel reading. Reading 127

What have I received from others? Where have experienced joy, peace, good, love, God? Where was I challenged? Where was I disappointed? What helped me? Where have I experienced a growth in faith? Who would I like to say thank you to? What would I like to say to God about the pilgrimage?
Prayer (At the end of this time of reflection say a prayer together as a whole group, the Hail Mary, Our Father, or another prayer or song.) Time of Silence to listen to God’s voice (Together listen to God as you have listened to each other.) Activity two- ‘go tell the priests…’ Leader: The theme of 2022 here in Lourdes is ‘go tell the priests…’ Our Lady spoke these words to Bernadette. Our Lady was asking Bernadette to do something unexpected. Bernadette was required to act with courage, not to give up in false humility believing herself to be unworthy of the task. She needed to trust. The priest who first heard from Bernadette the words of ‘The Lady’ needed to be humble enough to listen. This phrase ‘Go and tell the priests…’ is the start of Our Lady’s request to St Bernadette to tell the priests to build a church and for the people to come in procession. When you hear this phrase where do your thoughts go? We have quotations to hear from a group of people who could be described as being on the margins. (Pass the cards out to people who are willing to read them.) We will now listen as a few in our group voice the reflections of others: 128

The first group of quotations responds to the phrase: • The Lady told Bernadette to go tell the priests… (Quotations are read) The second group responds to: • If the lady told me to go and priests… (Quotations are read) The third group of quotations: • For me today… (Quotations are read) Leader: It can be easy to be distant from our priests, we may use excuses, for example: • He is very busy I do not want to bother him. • We will argue, I do not like what he says. • I have nothing important enough to say, I am not a saint. • I do not see any need to be known by the priest. • He would not recognise me or want to talk to me, I don’t really go to the church much these days. In a moment of quiet, ask God what message, if any, you are called to take home to your priest from the Grotto, from your time here in Lourdes. Time of silence Leader: As we bring to a close this time of looking to our return home, perhaps consider whether it would be possible for you to spend time talking with, especially listening to, your priest at home? We end this second activity with Our Lady’s song The Magnificat (page 173). Leader: All: Leader: All: Leader: All: Leader:
Our Lady of Lourdes, Pray for us. St Bernadette, Pray for us. All holy men and women, Pray for us. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Reading 1 Corinthians 12:3- 7 No one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord’ unless he is under the influence of the Holy Spirit. There is a variety of gifts but always the same Spirit; there are all sorts of service to be done, but always to the same Lord; working is all sorts of different ways in different people, it is the same God who is working in all of them. The particular way in which the Spirit is given to each person is for a good purpose. Psalm Send forth your spirit Send forth your Spirit, O Lord, and renew the face of the earth. 1.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O Lord how great you are! How many are your works, O Lord, the earth is full of your riches!
2.
You take back your Spirit they die, back to the dust from which they came: you send forth your Spirit they are created, the whole earth is renewed!
3.
Your glory will last forever, may you rejoice in all your works. May my soul be pleasing to you, I find my joy in you, Lord.

He said to them, ‘Peace be with you’, and showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Lord, and he said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. ‘As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.’ after saying this he breathed on them and said: ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’ Homily Prayer of the faithful Lord, listen to our Prayer All: Lord, listen to our prayer: heal and strengthen your people.

Please request a “Gift Aid” form from our office. Thank you.
FUND RAISING We are all fortunate enough to be able to make it to Lourdes this year. The Pilgrimage would occasionally like to be able to support who want to come to Lourdes but do not have the means to do so.

LEGACIES TO ARUNDEL & BRIGHTON LOURDES PILGRIMAGE Two important ways in which you can support the pilgrimage are the “Legacies” and “Gifts in Memory”. A legacy is a bequest to us in your Will. Legacies are a very flexible way of giving and can take many forms, including a fixed sum of money, a specific possession which could be auctioned to raise funds for us, or a percentage of what remains in your estate after you have made provision in your Will for your family and friends. Legacies can also take the form of a trust, which allows you to leave something to a loved one for their lifetime with the provision that it will pass to the Pilgrimage after they have died. You could also consider making a donation specifically in memory of a loved one who has died, known as a Gift in Memory. These gifts do not need to be made in a Will and can be made at any time by contacting the Office. If you are considering leaving us a legacy in your Will, please request an information pack from the Office. We always recommend that you use a solicitor or professional adviser to prepare your Will. All donations and bequests should be made payable to: A&B Lourdes Pilgrimage and sent to: Arundel & Brighton Lourdes Pilgrimage Office St Philip Howard Centre 4 Southgate Drive CRAWLEY RH10 6RP Tel: 01403 740110 Email: office@ablourdes.org Web: www.abdiocese.org.uk/lourdes/home

All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own.
2.
Pride of man and earthly glory, sword and crown betray God’s trust; what with lavish care man buildeth, tower and temple, fall to dust. But God’s power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower.
3.
God’s great goodness ay endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light and life attend him, beauty springeth out of nought. Evermore, from his store new-born worlds rise and adore.
4.
Still from man to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call one and all; ye who follow shall not fall.

Jesus, remember me Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom. Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom. Jacques Berthier
Let nothing trouble you Let nothing trouble you or frighten you, for the one who has God lacks nothing. Let nothing trouble you or frighten you. God alone, God alone, God alone is enough. 1.
If God builds the house nothing will shake it; neither the storm nor the raging tide. For the one who builds lays the foundation; strong as the earth, deep as the sea.
2.
Be God’s living stones, building God’s temple; shelter of light, with an open door. Be the dwelling place of God’s compassion, where there is love, God will be there.

My soul is filled with joy (to the tune of Wild mountain thyme) 1.
My soul is filled with joy as I sing to God my Saviour: he has looked upon his servant, he has visited his people And holy is his name through all generations! Everlasting is his mercy to the people he has chosen, and holy is his name.
2.
I am lowly as a child, but I know from this day forward that my name will be remembered, for all men will call me blessed.
3.
I proclaim the pow’r of God! He does marvels for his servants; though he scatters the proud-hearted and destroys the might of princes.
4.
To the hungry he gives food, sends the rich away empty. In his mercy he is mindful of the people he has chosen.
5.
In his love he now fulfils what he promised to our fathers. I will praise the Lord, my saviour. Everlasting is his mercy.
Stephen Dean
Nada te turbe Nada te turbe, nada te espante. Quien a Dios tiene nada le falta. Nada te turbe, nada te espante, solo Dios basta. Nothing can trouble, nothing can frighten. Those who seek God shall never go wanting. Nothing can trouble, nothing can frighten. God alone fills us. Jacques Berthier 158

O let all who thirst, let them come to the water. And let all who have nothing, let come to the Lord: without money, without price. Why should you pay the price, except for the Lord?
2.
And let all who seek, let them come to the water. And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord: without money, without strife. Why should you spend your life, except for the Lord?
3.
And let all who toil, let them come to the water. And let all who are weary, let them come to the Lord: all who labour, without rest. How can your soul find rest, except for the Lord?

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder 1.
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art! 2.
When through the woods and forest glades I wander and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees, when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze.
3.
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, he bled and died to take away my sin!
4.
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!

Praise to the Holiest 1.
Praise to the Holiest in the height, and in the depth be praise; in all his words most wonderful, most sure in all his ways!
2.
O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, a second Adam to the fight and to the rescue came.
3.
O wisest love! that flesh and blood, which did in Adam fail, should strive afresh against the foe, should strive, and should prevail;
4.
And that the highest gift of grace should flesh and blood refine: God's presence and his very self, and essence all-divine.
5.
O generous love! that he who smote in man for man the foe, the double agony in man for man should undergo.
6.
And in the garden secretly, and on the Cross on high, should teach his brethren, and inspire to suffer and to die.
7.
Praise to the Holiest in the height, and in the depth be praise; in all his words most wonderful, most sure in all his ways!

This is my body (In love for me) 1. This is my body, broken for you, bringing you wholeness, making you free. Take it and eat it, and when you do, do it in love for me. 2. This is my blood, poured out for you, bringing forgiveness, making you free. Take it and drink it, and when you do, do it in love for me. 3. Back to my Father soon I shall go. Do not forget me; then you will see I am still with you, and you will know you’re very close to me. 4. Filled with my spirit, how you will grow! You are my branches; I am the tree. If you are faithful, others will know you are alive in me. 5. Love one another - I have loved you, and I have shown you how to be free; serve one another, and when you do, do it in love for me.

Dying with Christ, so we shall rise with him, death shall no longer have power over us.

When I survey the wondrous cross 1.
When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride.
2.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God: all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood.
3.
See from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down; did e’er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4.
His dying crimson like a robe, spreads o’er his body on the Tree; then I am dead to all the globe, and all the globe is dead to me.
5.
Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

The Summons 1. Will you come and follow me if I but call your name? Will you go where you don’t know and never be the same? Will you let my love be shown, will you let my name be known, Will you let my life be grown in you and you in me? 2.
Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name? Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same? Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare? Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?
3.
Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name? Will you set the prisoners free and never be the same? Will you kiss the leper clean and do such as this unseen, And admit to what I mean in you and you in me?
4.
Will you love the “you” you hide if I but call your name? Will you quell the fear inside and never be the same? Will you use the faith you’ve found to reshape the world around Through my sight and touch and sound in you and you in me?
5.
Lord, your summons echoes true when I but call your name! Let me turn and follow you and never be the same In your company I’ll go where your love and footsteps show. Thus I’ll move and live and grow in you and you in me.

You who dwell (On eagle’s wings) 1.
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abide in his shadow for life, say to the Lord: ‘My refuge, my Rock in whom I trust!’
And he will raise you up on eagle’s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand. 2.
The snare of the fowler will never capture you, and famine will bring you no fear: under his wings your refuge, his faithfulness your shield.
3.
You need not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day; though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come.
4.
For to his angels he’s given a command to guard you in all of your ways; upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
And he will raise you up on eagle’s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand. And hold you, hold you in the palm of his hand. Michael Joncas

The Magnificat (Lk 1:46-55) My soul glorifies the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour. He looks on his servant in her lowliness; henceforth all ages will call me blessed. The Almighty works marvels for me. Holy is his name! His mercy is from age to age, on those who fear him. He puts forth his arm in strength, and scatters the proud-hearted. He casts the mighty from their thrones, and raises the lowly. He fills the starving with good things, sends the rich away empty. He protects Israel, his servant, remembering his mercy, the mercy promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his sons for ever. Glory be to the Father...
