Did you know that there are SEVERAL Eucharistic Prayers that the priest chooses from for mass each week, depending on the season or theme of the mass?
This past Sunday, Fr. Mike used the Eucharistic Prayer entitled, “ Jesus, Who Went About Doing Good.”   It’s SO beautiful that it’s worthy of some prayer and meditation on it!  Enjoy!
 
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Father of mercies and faithful God.
For you have given us Jesus Christ,  your Son, as our Lord and Redeemer.
He always showed compassion for children and for the poor, for the sick and for sinners, and he became a neighbor to the oppressed and the afflicted.
By word and deed he announced to the world that you are our Father and that you care for all your sons and daughters.
And so, with all the Angels and Saints, we exalt and bless your name and sing the hymn of your glory, as without end we acclaim:
Holy, Holy, Holy…
 
Bring your Church, O Lord, to perfect faith and charity, together with Francis  our Pope and Richard our Bishop, with all Bishops, Priests and Deacons, and the entire people you have made your own.
Open our eyes to the needs of our brothers and sisters; inspire in us words and actions to comfort those who labor and are burdened. Make us serve them truly, after the example of Christ and at his command.  And may your Church stand as a living witness to truth and freedom, to peace and justice, that all people may be raised up to a new hope.
