INTRODUCTION

The Introductory Rites

When the people are gathered, the Priest approaches the altar with the ministers while the Entrance
Chant is sung.  When he has arrived at the altar, after making a profound bow with the ministers, the
Priest venerates the altar with a kiss and, if appropriate, incenses the cross and the altar. Then, with the
ministers, he goes to the chair.  When the Entrance Chant is concluded, the Priest and the faithful,
standing, sign themselves with the Sign of the Cross, while the Priest, facing the people, says: 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 

The people reply: 

Amen. 

Then the Priest, extending his hands, greets the people, saying: 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of
the Holy Spirit be with you all. 

Or: 
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Or: 
The Lord be with you. 

The people reply: 

And with your spirit. 

______________________________________________________________________________
In this first greeting a Bishop, instead of The Lord be with you, says: Peace be with you.
______________________________________________________________________________

ACT OF PENITENCE

Then follows the Penitential Act, to which the Priest invites the faithful, saying: 

Brethren (brothers and sisters), let us acknowledge our sins, and so prepare

ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries. 

A brief pause for silence follows. Then all recite together the formula of general confession:  

I confess to almighty God  and to you, my brothers and sisters,  that I have
greatly sinned,  in my thoughts and in my words,  in what I have done and in
what I have failed to do, 

And, striking their breast, they say: 

through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; 
Then they continue: 
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,  all the Angels and Saints, and you,

1|Monthly Community Mass as adapted for the use in La Salle

University – Integrated School
 my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God. 

The absolution of the Priest follows: 

May almighty God have mercy on us, 
forgive us our sins, 
and bring us to everlasting life. 

The people reply: 

Amen. 

The Kyrie eleison (Lord, have mercy) invocations follow, unless they have just occurred in a formula of
the Penitential Act. 

V/. Lord, have mercy. R/. Lord, have mercy. 

V/. Christ, have mercy. R/. Christ, have mercy. 
V/. Lord, have mercy. R/. Lord, have mercy. 

On days when ritual Masses are not permitted, the Collect is of the day.
On days when ritual Masses are permitted, one of the following is used:
Let us pray. 

And all pray in silence with the Priest for a while. Then the Priest, with hands extended, says the Collect:

Grant a joyful outcome to our prayers, O Lord,

so that we, who each year devoutly honor the day of
the passion of the holy Martyrs Jaime Hilario and his Companions,
may also imitate the constancy of their faith.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

at the end of which the people acclaim: 

Amen. 

COMMENTATOR: Please be seated. With open minds and hearts, let us listen to the
Word of God.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

On days when the ritual Mass is not permitted, all of the readings are of the day.

On days when the ritual Mass is permitted, the readings may be chosen from Lectionary

On a day when the ritual Mass is permitted but not used, one of the readings may be taken from those
provided in the Lectionary

Then the reader goes to the ambo and reads the first reading, while all sit and listen.

FIRST READING: Jonah 4:1 – 11

A Reading from the book of Prophet Jonah

Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry that God did not carry out the
evil he threatened against Nineveh.

2|Monthly Community Mass as adapted for the use in La Salle

University – Integrated School
 He prayed, “I beseech you, LORD, is not this what I said while I was still in
my own country? This is why I fled at first to Tarshish.
I knew that you are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger, rich in
clemency, loath to punish. And now, LORD, please take my life from me; for it
is better for me to die than to live.”
But the LORD asked, “Have you reason to be angry?”

Jonah then left the city for a place to the east of it, where he built himself a hut
and waited under it in the shade, to see what would happen to the city. And
when the LORD God provided a gourd plant
that grew up over Jonah’s head, giving shade that relieved him of any
discomfort, Jonah was very happy over the plant.
But the next morning at dawn God sent a worm that attacked the plant, so that
it withered. And when the sun arose, God sent a burning east wind; and the
sun beat upon Jonah’s head till he became faint. Then Jonah asked for death,
saying, “I would be better off dead than alive.”

But God said to Jonah, “Have you reason to be angry over the plant?”
“I have reason to be angry,” Jonah answered, “angry enough to die.”
Then the LORD said, “You are concerned over the plant which cost you no
labor and which you did not raise; it came up in one night and in one night it
perished. And should I not be concerned over Nineveh, the great city, in which
there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot
distinguish their right hand from their left, not to mention the many cattle?”

To indicate the end of the reading, the reader acclaims: 

The word of the Lord.

All reply: 
Thanks be to God. 

The psalmist or cantor sings or says the Psalm, with the people making the response.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 86:3-4, 5-6, 9-10

R. Lord, you are merciful and gracious.

Have mercy on me, O Lord,

for to you I call all the day.
Gladden the soul of your servant,
for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

R. Lord, you are merciful and gracious.

For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,

abounding in kindness to all who call upon you.
Hearken, O LORD, to my prayer
and attend to the sound of my pleading.

R. Lord, you are merciful and gracious.

All the nations you have made shall come

and worship you, O Lord, and glorify your name.
For you are great, and you do wondrous deeds;
you alone are God.

R. Lord, you are merciful and gracious.

There follows the Alleluia or another chant laid down by the rubrics, as the liturgical time requires. 

COMMENTATOR: Please all stand to honor of the Holy Gospel.

Meanwhile, if incense is used, the Priest puts some into the thurible. After this, the Deacon who is to
proclaim the Gospel, bowing profoundly before the Priest, asks for the blessing, saying in a low voice:
Your blessing, Father. 
The Priest says in a low voice: 
May the Lord be in your heart and on your lips that you may proclaim his
Gospel worthily and well, in the name of the Father and of the Son  and of
the Holy Spirit. 

The Deacon signs himself with the Sign of the Cross and replies: 
Amen. 

If, however, a Deacon is not present, the Priest, bowing before the altar, says quietly: 
Cleanse my heart and my lips, almighty God, 
that I may worthily proclaim your holy Gospel. 

The Deacon, or the Priest, then proceeds to the ambo, accompanied, if appropriate, by ministers with
incense and candles. There he says: 
The Lord be with you. 

The people reply: 

And with your spirit. 

The Deacon, or the Priest: 

A reading from the holy Gospel according to N. 

and, at the same time, he makes the Sign of the Cross on the book and on his forehead, lips, and breast.  

The people acclaim: 

Glory to you, O Lord. 

Then the Deacon, or the Priest, incenses the book, if incense is used, and proclaims the Gospel.  
GOSPEL: John 20:19 – 23

Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished,

one of his disciples said to him,
"Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples."
He said to them, "When you pray, say:

Father, hallowed be your name,

your Kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread
and forgive us our sins
for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us,
and do not subject us to the final test.

At the end of the Gospel, the Deacon, or the Priest, acclaims: 

The Gospel of the Lord. 

All reply: 

4|Monthly Community Mass as adapted for the use in La Salle

University – Integrated School
 Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. 

COMMENTATOR: Please be seated.

Then he kisses the book, saying quietly: 

Through the words of the Gospel may our sins be wiped away. 

Then follows the Homily, which is to be preached by a Priest or Deacon on all Sundays and Holidays of
Obligation; on other days, it is recommended

GENERAL INTERCESSIONS

The following or other intercessions created for the occasion may be used.  

Priest:
As we celebrate the feast of Saint Brother Jaime Hilario and the Martyrs of Turon, let
us ask the Lord of the harvest, who calls each of us by name, for all our needs. In
every petitions we say: LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER.

Priest:
Father,
grant us the continuous help
of Your Holy Spirit.
As you answer our prayers,
fill our lives with His gift of grace.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

R: Amen

COMMENTATOR: Please be seated.

LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

When all this has been done, the Offertory Chant begins. Meanwhile, the ministers place the corporal, the
purificator, the chalice, the pall, and the Missal on the altar.

It is desirable that the faithful express their participation by making an offering, bringing forward bread
and wine for the celebration of the Eucharist and perhaps other gifts to relieve the needs of the Church
and of the poor.

The Priest (or Bishop), standing at the altar, takes the paten with the bread and holds it slightly raised
above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice:

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. 

Then he places the paten with the bread on the corporal. 

If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these words aloud; at the end, the
people may acclaim: Blessed be God for ever. 

5|Monthly Community Mass as adapted for the use in La Salle

University – Integrated School
The Deacon, or the Priest, 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 Priest (or Bishop) then takes the chalice and holds it slightly raised above the altar with both hands,
saying in a low voice: 
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. 

Then he places the chalice on the corporal. 

If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these words aloud; at the end, the
people may acclaim:  Blessed be God for ever. 

After this, the Priest (or Bishop), bowing profoundly, 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. 

If appropriate, he also incenses the offerings, the cross, and the altar. A Deacon or other minister then
incenses the Bishop, Priest and the people.

Then the Priest (or Bishop), standing at the side of the altar, washes his hands, saying quietly:  
Wash me, O Lord, from my iniquity 
and cleanse me from my sin. 

Standing at the middle of the altar, facing the people, extending and then joining his hands, he says: 
Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters), 
that my sacrifice and yours 
may be acceptable to God, 
the almighty Father. 

The people rise and reply: 

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. 

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says the Prayer over the Offerings, at the end of which the people
acclaim: 
Receive, holy Father, the offerings
we bring in commemoration of the holy Martyrs,
and grant that we, your servants, may be found steadfast
in confessing your name. Through Christ our Lord.

at the end of which the people acclaim:

Amen

THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER

6|Monthly Community Mass as adapted for the use in La Salle

University – Integrated School
 PREFACE II OF HOLY MARTYRS
The wonders of God in the victory of the Martyrs

Then the Priest begins the Eucharistic Prayer. Extending his hands, he says: 
The Lord be with you. 
The people reply: 
And with your spirit. 
The Priest, raising his hands, continues: 
Lift up your hearts. 
The people: 
We lift them up to the Lord. 
The Priest, with hands extended, adds: 
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. 
The people: 
It is right and just. 

It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,

always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God.

For you are glorified when your Saints are praised;

their very sufferings are but wonders of your might:
in your mercy you give ardour to their faith,
to their endurance you grant firm resolve,
and in their struggle the victory is yours,
through Christ our Lord.

Therefore, all creatures of heaven and earth

sing a new song in adoration,
and we, with all the host of Angels,
cry out, and without end we acclaim:

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. 

The Priest, with hands extended, says:

You are indeed Holy, O Lord, 
the fount of all holiness. 

He joins his hands and, holding them extended over the offerings, says:
Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, 
by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall, 

He joins his hands and makes the Sign of the Cross once over the bread and the chalice together, saying:
so that they may become for us 
the Body and  Blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. 

He joins his hands. 

7|Monthly Community Mass as adapted for the use in La Salle

University – Integrated School
In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly and distinctly, as the
nature of these words requires. 
At the time he was betrayed 
and entered willingly into his Passion,
 
He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:
he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it, 
and gave it to his disciples, saying: 
He bends slightly. 
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, 
FOR THIS IS MY BODY, 
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
 
He shows the consecrated host to the people, places it again on the paten, and genuflects in adoration. 

After this, he continues: 

In a similar way, when supper was ended, 

He takes the chalice and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues: 
he took the chalice 
and, once more giving thanks, 
he gave it to his disciples, saying: 

He bends slightly. 
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. 
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME. 

He shows the chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects in adoration. 

Then he says: 
The mystery of faith. 

And the people continue, acclaiming:

We proclaim your Death, O Lord, 
and profess your Resurrection 
until you come again. 
Or: 
When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, 
we proclaim your Death, O Lord, 
until you come again. 
Or: 
Save us, Savior of the world, 
for by your Cross and Resurrection 
you have set us free. 

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says: 

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. 
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 Martin Jumoad our Bishop* 

(*Mention may be made here of the Coadjutor Bishop, or Auxiliary Bishops, as noted in the General
Instruction of the Roman Missal, n. 149. )
and all the clergy.
______________________________________________________________________________

In Masses for the Dead, the following may be added: 

Remember your servant N., whom you have called (today) 
from this world to yourself. Grant that he (she) who was united with your Son in a
death like his, may also be one with him in his Resurrection. 
______________________________________________________________________________

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 Saint Joseph, her most chaste Spouse)3
with the blessed Apostles, 
and all the Saints who have pleased you throughout the ages, 
we may merit to be co-heirs to eternal life, 
and may praise and glorify you 
He joins his hands. 
through your Son, Jesus Christ.  

He takes the chalice and the paten with the host and raising both, he says: 
Through him, and with him, and in him, 
O God, almighty Father, 
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, 
all glory and honor is yours, 
for ever and ever. 

The people acclaim: 

Amen. 

THE COMMUNION RITE 

After the chalice and paten have been set down, the Priest, with hands joined, says:  
At the Savior's command 
and formed by divine teaching, 
we dare to say: 

He extends his hands and, together with the people, continues: 

Our Father, who art in heaven, 
3
Prot.N.215/11/L Decree from Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Vatican City

9|Monthly Community Mass as adapted for the use in La Salle

 hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, 
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 
Give us this day our daily bread, 
and forgive us our trespasses, 
as we forgive those who trespass against us; 
and lead us not into temptation, 
but deliver us from evil. 

With hands extended, the Priest alone continues, saying: 

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, 
graciously grant peace in our days, 
that, by the help of your mercy, 
we may be always free from sin 
and safe from all distress, 
as we await the blessed hope 
and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. 
He joins his hands. 

The people conclude the prayer, acclaiming: 

For the kingdom, 
the power and the glory are yours 
now and for ever. 

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says aloud: 

Lord Jesus Christ, 
who said to your Apostles, 
Peace I leave you, my peace I give you, 
look not on our sins, 
but on the faith of your Church, 
and graciously grant her peace and unity 
in accordance with your will. 
He joins his hands. 
Who live and reign for ever and ever. 

The people reply: 

Amen. 

The Priest, turned towards the people, extending and then joining his hands, adds: 
The peace of the Lord be with you always. 
The people reply: 
And with your spirit. 

Then, if appropriate, the Deacon, or the Priest, adds: 

Let us offer each other the sign of peace. 

And all offer one another a sign, in keeping with local customs, that expresses peace, communion, and
charity. The Priest gives the sign of peace to a Deacon or minister. 

Then he takes the host, breaks it over the paten, and places a small piece in the chalice, saying quietly:  
May this mingling of the Body and Blood 
of our Lord Jesus Christ 
bring eternal life to us who receive it. 

Meanwhile the following is sung or said: 

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. 

10 | M o n t h l y C o m m u n i t y M a s s a s a d a p t e d f o r t h e u s e i n L a S a l l e
University – Integrated School
 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. 

The invocation may even be repeated several times if the fraction is prolonged. Only the final time,
however, is grant us peace said. 

Then the Priest, with hands joined, 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. 

Or: 
May the receiving of your Body and Blood, 
Lord Jesus Christ, 
not bring me to judgment and condemnation, 
but through your loving mercy 
be for me protection in mind and body, 
and a healing remedy. 

The Priest genuflects, takes the host and, holding it slightly raised above the paten or above the chalice,
while facing the people, says aloud:
Behold the Lamb of God, 
behold him who takes away the sins of the world. 
Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb. 

And together with the people he adds once: 

Lord, I am not worthy 
that you should enter under my roof, 
but only say the word 
and my soul shall be healed. 

The Priest, facing the altar, says quietly: 

May the Body of Christ 
keep me safe for eternal life. 
And he reverently consumes the Body of Christ. 

Then he takes the chalice and says quietly: 

May the Blood of Christ 
keep me safe for eternal life. 
And he reverently consumes the Blood of Christ.

After this, he takes the paten or ciborium and approaches the communicants. The Priest raises a host
slightly and shows it to each of the communicants, saying: 
The Body of Christ. 
The communicant replies: 
Amen. 
And receives Holy Communion. 

If a Deacon also distributes Holy Communion, he does so in the same manner. 

If any are present who are to receive Holy Communion under both kinds, the rite described in the proper

11 | M o n t h l y C o m m u n i t y M a s s a s a d a p t e d f o r t h e u s e i n L a S a l l e
University – Integrated School
place is to be followed. 

While the Priest is receiving the Body of Christ, the Communion Chant begins.
 
When the distribution of Communion is over, the Priest or a Deacon or an acolyte purifies the paten over
the chalice and also the chalice itself. 

While he carries out the purification, the Priest 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. 

Then the Priest may return to the chair. If appropriate, a sacred silence may be observed for a while, or a
psalm or other canticle of praise or a hymn may be sung. 

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION

On days when ritual Masses are not permitted, the Prayer After Communion is of the day.
On days when ritual Masses are permitted, one of the following is used:
Let us pray.

All pray in silence unless silence has just been observed.

O God, who in your holy Martyrs
have wonderfully made known the mystery of the Cross,
graciously grant that, drawing strength from this sacrifice,
we may cling faithfully to Christ and labor in the Church
for the salvation of all.
Through Christ our Lord.

at the end of which the people acclaim: 

Amen. 

SOLEMN BLESSING FOR THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATORS

The Priest, with hands extended over the Birthday Celebrators, says:
The Lord be with you. 
The people reply: 
And with your spirit. 

The Priest, raising his hands, continues:

The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord show His face to you and
have mercy on you. May the Lord turn
His countenance to you and give you His peace.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

at the end of which the people acclaim: 

Amen. 

The Priest blesses the birthday celebrators with holy water. 

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Announcements, if any, are made at this time.

SOLEMN BLESSING AT THE END OF MASS

12 | M o n t h l y C o m m u n i t y M a s s a s a d a p t e d f o r t h e u s e i n L a S a l l e

The Priest, with hands extended over the people, says:
The Lord be with you. 
The people reply: 
And with your spirit. 

The Priest, raising his hands, continues:

And may the blessing of Almighty God,
the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
R. Amen.

Then the Deacon, or the Priest himself, with hands joined and facing the people, says:  

Go forth, the Mass is ended. 

Or: 
Go and announce the Gospel of the Lord. 
Or: 
Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life. 
Or: 
Go in peace. 

The people reply: 

Thanks be to God. 

Then the Priest venerates the altar as usual with a kiss, as at the beginning. After making a profound bow
with the ministers, he withdraws. 

If any liturgical action follows immediately, the rites of dismissal are omitted.
