Prayer
| We Gather…as a community and prepare to hear the Word of God | Opening Prayer: In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. ALL: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Prayer Leader: As we recognise God’s presence among us, let us empty our minds of today’s problems and concerns, and open our hearts to the experience and grace of this gathering in God’s name. Amen |
| We Listen… to the Word of God as it is proclaimed because Scripture is the heart of a liturgical celebration. | Gospel Reading: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke (1:46-56) or view Mary’s Song of Praise Psalm 106:1b-2, 3-4a, 4b-5 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his kindness endures forever. Who can tell the mighty deeds of the Lord, or proclaim all his praises. All: Happy are those who observe justice, who are righteous at all times. Blessed are they who observe what is right, who always do what is just. Remember us, O Lord, as you favour your people. All: Happy are those who observe justice, who are righteous at all times. Visit me with your saving help, that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, rejoice in the joy of your people, and glory with your inheritance. All: Happy are those who observe justice, who are righteous at all times. |
| We Respond… with a ritual action such as a reflection on the Word, Prayers of the Faithful, Powerpoint, a ritual action and/or singing. | ‘The Magnificat’ by Steve Angrisano or Stephen Kirk Reflection: READER 1: My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. Does my very being, my very presence preach the goodness of God? (pause) Holy Mary… ALL: Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. READER 2: For he has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed. Who have we looked down upon because of their particular spirituality, lifestyle, political party, educational background, or economic wealth or poverty? (pause) Holy Mary… ALL: Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. READER 1: For the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. When have we taken credit for what we have not done? (pause) Holy Mary… ALL: Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. READER 2: His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. Have we lost our sense of fear, awe, and reverence that nothing ever moves us at our core? (pause) Holy Mary… ALL: Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. READER 1: He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. Have we used our own power, status, education, or religion to put others down, even in the silence of our hearts? (pause) Holy Mary… ALL: Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. READER 2: He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly. Have we been afraid to be prophetic and revolutionary even at the cost of our own comfort? (pause) Holy Mary… ALL: Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. READER 1: He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. Who have we sent away empty, without our acknowledgment, thanks, care, or gratitude? (pause) Holy Mary… ALL: Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. READER 2: He has helped Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy, according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever. Have we refused to give help and mercy? Have we broken our promises? Will we leave this world a more merciful, just, and beautiful place for our descendants? (pause) Holy Mary… ALL: Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Adapted from : http://dsjliturgy.blogspot.com.au/2006/11/advent-penitential-prayer-service.html Universal Prayer: Prayer Leader: Mary was faithful to God in all things. We seek such faith for the world as we pray: ALL: My Spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. For the Church to always be a model of humility by renouncing power and prestige, we pray… ALL: My Spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. For governments to act with righteousness, we pray… ALL: My Spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. For the lowly and underprivileged, that their voices may be heard, we pray… ALL: My Spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. For all our mothers, living and deceased, that they may be blessed as they have blessed us, we pray… ALL: My Spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. For the dead and for all those who faithfully wait beside those who are dying, we pray… ALL: My Spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. |
| We Go Forth… into the world to do what we proclaim and to give witness to the fact that we are disciples and followers of Christ. Use a final prayer, a blessing, a song or hymn. | Concluding Prayer: Mother of Jesus and Mother of God, teach us something of your quiet peacefulness and childlike confidence in your Son. Help us to trust Him and to believe in Him as you did. Help us never to worry or be sad but always rejoice like you, in God, your Saviour and ours, your beloved Son and our dearest Lord. Amen. Adapted from : http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?id=7340 Blessing: All make the sign of the cross and say: May God bless us and keep us. (+) Amen. May God smile upon us and be gracious to us. Amen. May God look upon us kindly and give us peace. Amen. |
