Nicene Creed 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,

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.

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.

The Eucharistic Prayer Priest: The Lord be with you. All: And with your spirit. Priest: Lift up your hearts. All: We lift them up to the Lord. Priests: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. All: It is right and just.

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. Prayers of the Faithful

Fraction Rite

Spiritual Communion Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe and Master of all creation, Healer of human hearts, ever present in each moment of history and font of eternal mercy and grace for us, your people. As we continue our fast from your Eucharistic nourishment and so often find ourselves distant from our parish families, continue to heal and help us. Strengthen us and sustain us during this time of global illness. Cure our sick. Calm our fears. Strengthen care-givers everywhere. Forgive our selfish preoccupation with our own comfort. Enable us to be living signs and instruments of your healing love. Teach us what you would have us learn from these moments of fear. We trust in your love. In your good time, restore us to our parish celebrations, And heal all hurts, now and forever. We pray through Jesus the Christ, Savior of the world. Amen. (Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Richard Sklba)

Priest: Behold the Lamb of God….. All: Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Prayer of St. Francis

Make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow your love.

Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light;

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled as to consoled. To be understood as to understand.

To be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
