Jesus said, "Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; and the word that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who sent me. "I have said these things to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you this before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe. An early Christian writer said that the Word became flesh “so that God should become accustomed to living in us, and that we should become accustomed to living in God.” For the next several days the readings make reference to the Holy Spirit, the promised Helper or Comforter. This is because in two weeks’ time there will be the great feast of Pentecost. The Spirit will come not just for a visit but to remain with us: to become ordinary.

What kind of comfort can we expect from the Comforter? Look more closely at the word ‘comfort’. Modern usage has weakened its meaning to softness and gentle touches; in fact it has come to mean just about the opposite of its real meaning. The word comes from the Latin confortare, which means ‘to strengthen’; fortis means ‘strong’. Comfort therefore means strength! The Holy Spirit will make us robust. And what kind of peace can we expect? “I give you my peace. Not as the world gives peace do I give it to you.” Not the ego’s peace, which is like the peace after a good meal, or after some private victory. He promises his kind of peace – which is “a peace the world cannot give” (Jn 14:27). The readings these times are like Spring cleaning. Fr Donagh O’Shea, O.P., www.goodnews.ie

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD Congregation sits
FIRST READING A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 15: 1-2. 22-29 Some men came down from Judaea and taught the brothers, Unless you have yourselves circumcised in the tradition of Moses you cannot be saved. This led to disagreement, and after Paul and Barnabas had had a long argument with these men it was arranged that Paul and Barnabas and others of the church should go up to Jerusalem and discuss the problem with the apostles and elders. Then the apostles and elders decided to choose delegates to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; the whole church concurred with this. They chose Judas known as Barsabbas and Silas, both leading men in the brotherhood, and gave them this letter to take with them: The apostles and elders, your brothers, send greetings to the brothers of pagan birth in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia. We hear that some of our members have disturbed you with their demands and have unsettled your minds. They acted without any authority from us, and so we have decided unanimously to elect delegates and to send them to you with Barnabas and Paul, men we highly respect who have dedicated their lives to the name or our Lord Jesus Christ. Accordingly we are sending you Judas and Silas, who will confirm by word of mouth what we have written in this letter. It has been decided by the Holy Spirit and by ourselves not to saddle you with any burden beyond these essentials: you are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from fornication. Avoid these, and you will do what is right. Farewell. All:
The word of the Lord Thanks be to God

THE SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
THE CREED
SECOND READING
All:
A reading from the book of the Apocalypse 21: 10-14. 22-23 In the spirit, the angel took me to the top of an enormous high mountain and showed me Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down from God out of heaven. It had all the radiant glory of God and glittered like some precious jewel of crystal-clear diamond. The walls of it were of a great height, and had twelve gates; at each of the twelve gates there was an angel, and over the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel; on the east there were three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. The city walls stood on twelve foundation stones, each one of which bore the name of one of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. I saw that there was no temple in the city since the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb were themselves the temple, and the city did not need the sun or the moon for light, since it was lit by the radiant glory of God and the Lamb was a lighted torch for it.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, (bow your head up to the words ‘and became man’) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
The word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God Congregation stands ACCLAMATION All:
Jn 14:23
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
Alleluia, alleluia! Jesus said: If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him. Alleluia!
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

HOMILY Congregation stands
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
14:23-29
Jesus said to his disciples: If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make our home with him. Those who do not love me do not keep my words. And my word is not my own: it is the word of the one who sent me. I have said these things to you while still with you; but the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all I have said to you, Pease I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace the world cannot give, this is my gift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. You heard me say: I am going away, and shall return. If you loved me you would have been glad to know that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. I have told you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL Congregation sits
THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST Offertory Procession The gifts of bread and wine which will become the Lord’s body and blood are brought to the altar. The celebrant raises the host on the paten saying: Priest:
Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you: fruit of the earth and work of human hands, it will become for us the bread of life.
All:
Blessed be God for ever.
Priest:
The celebrant pours wine and a little water into the chalice, saying quietly: By the mystery of this water and wine may we come to share in the divinity of Christ who humbled himself to share in our humanity. The celebrant then raises the chalice above the altar and says: Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received the wine we offer you: fruit of the vine and work of human hands, it will become our spiritual drink.
THE SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER Body and + Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Priest:
At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his Passion, he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Bowing, the celebrant says quietly: With humble spirit and contrite heart may we be accepted by you, O Lord, and may our sacrifice in your sight this day be pleasing to you, Lord God. Then the celebrant washes his hands, saying quietly: Wash me, O Lord, from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY BODY WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU. In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice and, once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying:
Pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father. All:
May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of all his holy Church.
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT, FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT, WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS Priest:
May our prayers rise up to you, O Lord, together with the sacrificial offerings, so that, purified by your graciousness, we may be conformed to the mysteries of your mighty love. Through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen. Congregation stands
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME. Priest:
The mystery of faith.
All:
We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.
Priest:
Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his Death and Resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the Bread of life and the Chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you.
EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II Priest: All:
The Lord be with you. And with your spirit.
Priest: All:
Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord.
Priest: All:
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right and just.
Humbly we pray that, partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit. Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the fullness of charity, together with Francis our Pope and N our Bishop and all the clergy.
PREFACE Priest:
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, at all times to acclaim you, O Lord, but in this time above all to laud you yet more gloriously, when Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.
Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection, and all who have died in your mercy: welcome them into the light of your face. Have mercy on us all, we pray, that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with the blessed Apostles, and all the Saints who have pleased you throughout the ages, we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life, and may praise and glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ.
By the oblation of his Body, he brought the sacrifices of old to fulfilment in the reality of the Cross and, by commending himself to you for our salvation, showed himself the Priest, the Altar, and the Lamb of sacrifice. Therefore, overcome with paschal joy, every land, every people exults in your praise and even the heavenly Powers, with the angelic hosts, sing together the unending hymn of your glory, as they acclaim: ACCLAMATION All: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Congregation kneels Priest: You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness. Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall, so that they may become for us the

All:
Amen.
Priest: The peace of the Lord be with you always. All: And with your spirit. The celebrant may add these or similar words. Priest: Let us offer each other the sign of peace.

COMMUNION ANTIPHON All:
If you love me, keep my commandments, says the Lord, and I will ask the Father and he will send you another Paraclete, to abide with you for ever, alleluia. Purifying the chalice the celebrant says quietly: What has passed our lips as food, O Lord, may we possess in purity of heart, that what has been given to us in time may be our healing for eternity.
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION Congregation kneels Priest: Let us pray.

All: Priest:

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace. Congregation kneels The celebrant says quietly: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who, by the will of the Father and the work of the Holy Spirit, through your Death gave life to the world, free me by this, your most holy Body and Blood, from all my sins and from every evil; keep me always faithful to your commandments, and never let me be parted from you.
Jn 14:15-16
All: Priest:
All: Priest: All:
May he, by whose redeeming work you have received the gift of everlasting freedom, make you heirs to an eternal inheritance.

NEWRY PARISH: Sunday 5th May 2013
Administrators Letter Mercy changes the World ‒ Pope Francis words in his first Angelus greeting are like an exhortation to us all to continue resolutely along the path that was marked out for us by Christ himself. True service is a service of mercy. The Holy Father invites us to be willing participants in the Holy Father s mission to change the world for the better. Pope Francis words of love, A little mercy makes the world less cold and more just signals the way forward for the church and the world. Elaborating upon this theme of Mission and Mercy, the Holy Father in his first homily, given as he was celebrating the Holy Mass Pro Ecclesia (for the Church), together with the Cardinals in the Sistine Chapel spoke right to the heart of the Church s mission and work when he declared that the Church is more than a mere welfare organisation. Pope Francis is very clear, the church and all its associated charities must always walk in the presence of the Lord, must build on Him and give faithful witness to Him. Clearly this includes the Cross for when we journey without the Cross....we are not disciples of the Lord . We need to understand God s mercy. Our merciful Father never tires of forgiving, but at times, we tire of asking forgiveness. Pope Francis encourages us not to tire in seeking, sharing and enjoying God s mercy for so it is that Mercy changes the World . Canon Francis Brown
