GATHERING THE BODY OF CHRIST

Visit www. stbchurch.org/spiritual-communion to “watch & pray” mass online celebrated by

our own priests and make a “Spiritual Communion.” There are separate packets online to

help you pray the Home Prayer Services.

This packet is designed to help you follow along with the RECORDED Mass shared on YouTube.

Pray for those preparing to join the Church through the RCIA

This weekend we will initiate our children & one adult in the RCIA

and next Sunday we will initiate another Adult.

Let us pray for these new Catholic Christians!

Prepare for prayer:

Set up a prayer area with a candle, cross/crucifix, bible, & a RED colored cloth:

• include cut flowers or a blooming plant to signify new life.

• Consider including a bowl of water so you can sign yourself with water when the

priest begins with the Sprinkling Rite.

• Remember that you can follow the video on your tv or computer with this

worship aid either printed out or viewed on your smart phone.

Individuals: call a friend to pray at the same time to help your celebration.

Families/groups: arrange for enough chairs (sofa, sitting space, etc)

Families with young children: consider using only the Home Prayer Service Packet

since it may be easier for young children to engage.

Prayer of Preparation

“Let us offer our hunger and sorrow in solidarity with those around the world who regularly go

without the Sunday Eucharist because of illness, lack of ministers, or isolation. May Christ,

who is present wherever two or three are gathered in his name, bring us all healing and

peace and unite us together in his Spirit of love.” (Diana Macalintal, www.liturgy.life)

Other things to remember

Prepare your heart & enrich your prayer with the abundance of online resources.

Dress up as you would for Mass.

Take pictures of your prayer space & family at prayer & share them on St. Bernadette’s

Facebook page and email your pictures to office@stbchurch.org.

When we are finally able to get back together at Church, we will use your pictures to

remind us of our time together while we were apart!

Homily

Profession of Faith

I believe in one God, the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

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,

{At the words that follow, up to and including

“and became man,” all bow.}

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.

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

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.

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

Intercessions R/. Lord, Your Spirit is with us. Hear our prayer.

Eucharistic Prayer

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,

I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you.

Never permit me to be separated from you.

Amen.
