LITURGY OF THE WORD

First Reading: Isaiah 61:9-11

“I Exult for Joy in the Lord.”

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 116

 I love the Lord, He is filled with compassion. He turned to me on the day
that I called, from the snares of the dark, O, Lord, save my life, be my
strength.”

Second Reading: Colossians 3:12-17

“Above everything, Have Love for Each Other Because That is the Bond of Perfection.”

Gospel Acclamation: Psalm 133:1

“See How Good It Is, How Pleasant, that Brothers live in Unity.”

Gospel: Mark 10:24-30

“We Have Left Everything and Followed You.”

Election of the Candidates

After the Gospel, the Bishop is seated with miter.

The candidates are then called by a deacon, or the superior:

Let those to be ordained deacons come forward.

Then their names are called individually by the deacon.

Each one stands and answers:

Present.
 The candidates go before the Bishop, to whom they make a sign of reverence.

When the candidates are in place before the Bishop, the Superior says:

Most Reverend Father, holy Mother Church asks you to ordain these men,
our brothers, to the responsibility of the diaconate.
The Bishop asks:

Do you know them to be worthy?

The Superior answers:

After inquiry among the Christian people and upon the recommendation of
those responsible, I testify that they have been found worthy.
Bishop:

Relying on the help of the Lord God and our Savior Jesus
Christ, we choose these, our brothers, for the Order of the
diaconate.
All present say:

Thanks be to God.

And all applaud.

Homily

Beloved brothers and sisters: since these our sons who are your
relatives and friends are now to be advanced to the Order of
Deacons, consider carefully the nature of the rank in the Church
to which they are about to be raised.
 Strengthened by the gift of the Holy Spirit, they will help the
Bishop and his priests in the ministry of the Word, of the altar,
and of charity, showing themselves to be servants to all. As
ministers of the altar, they will proclaim the Gospel, prepare the
sacrifice, and distribute the Lord’s Body and Blood to the
faithful.

Furthermore, it will be their duty, at the Bishop’s direction, to

exhort believers and unbelievers alike and to instruct them in
holy doctrine. They will preside over public prayer, administer
Baptism, assist at and bless Marriages, bring Viaticum to the
dying, and conduct funeral rites.

Consecrated by the laying on of hands that comes down to us

from the Apostles and bound more closely to the service of the
altar, they will perform works of charity in the name of the
Bishop, or the pastor. With the help of God, they are to go about
all these duties in such a way that you will recognize them as
disciples of Him who came not to be served, but to serve.

Now, dear sons, you are to be raised to the Order of the

Diaconate. The Lord has set an example that just as He Himself
has done, you also should do.

As Deacons, that is, as ministers of Jesus Christ, who came

among His disciples as one who served, do the will of God from
the heart: serve the people in love and joy as you would the Lord.
Since no one can serve two masters, look upon all defilement and
avarice as serving false gods.
 **Insert the Bishop’s remarks here**
Since, by your own free choice, you present yourselves for the
Order of the Diaconate, you should be men of good reputation,
filled with wisdom and the Holy Spirit, as were those once
chosen by the Apostles for the ministry of charity.

You will exercise your ministry committed to the celibate state:

know that celibacy is both a sign of pastoral charity and an
inspiration to it, as well as a source of spiritual fruitfulness in the
world. Compelled by the sincere love of Christ the Lord, and
embracing this state with total dedication, you will cling to Christ
more easily with an undivided heart. You will free yourselves
more completely for the service of God and man, and minister
more effectively in the works of spiritual rebirth.

Firmly rooted and grounded in faith, you are to show yourselves

chaste and beyond reproach before God and man, as is proper
for ministers of Christ and of the stewards of God’s Mysteries.
Never allow yourselves to be turned away from the hope offered
by the Gospel. Now you are not only hearers of this Gospel, but
also its ministers. Holding the Mystery of faith with a clear
conscience, express by your actions the Word of God which your
lips proclaim, so that the Christian people, brought to life by the
Spirit, may be a pure offering accepted by God. Then on the last
day, when you go out to meet the Lord you will be able to hear
Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joy
of your Lord.”
* PAUSE *
TAKE CROZIER
 The elect rise and stand before the Bishop, who, with crosier, questions them:

Dear sons, before you enter the Order of the Diaconate, you must
declare before the people your intention to undertake this
office.

Do you resolve to be consecrated for the Church’s ministry by

the laying on of my hands and the gift of the Holy Spirit?
The elect answer:
I do.
Bishop:

Do you resolve to discharge the office of deacon with humble

charity in order to assist the priestly Order and to benefit the
Christian people?

Elect:
I do.
Bishop:

Do you resolve to hold fast to the Mystery of faith with a clear

conscience, as the Apostle urges, and to proclaim this faith in
word and deed according to the Gospel and the Church’s
tradition?
Elect:

I do.

Bishop:
You are prepared to embrace the celibate state: do you resolve to
keep forever this commitment as a sign of your dedication to
Christ the Lord for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven, in the
service of God and man?

Elect:

I do.

Do you resolve to maintain and deepen the spirit of prayer that

is proper to your way of life and, in keeping with this spirit and
what is required of you, to celebrate faithfully the Liturgy of
the Hours with and for the People of God and indeed for the
whole world?

Elect:
I do.

Bishop:

Do you resolve to conform your way of life always to the

example of Christ, of whose Body and Blood you are a
minister at the altar?

Elect:
I do, with the help of God.

The Bishop hands off his crozier as the elect kneel before him, each individually
placing their joined hands between those of the Bishop.
 He asks each candidate separately:

Do you promise respect and obedience to the diocesan

Bishop and to your legitimate Superior?

Elect:

I do.

The Bishop concludes saying to both Candidates simultaneously:

May God who has begun the good work in you bring it to
fulfillment.
Litany of Supplication
Then all stand.

After putting aside the miter, the Bishop stands,

faces the people, and invites them to pray:

with hands joined…

My dear people,
let us pray that God, the all-powerful Father,
will mercifully pour out the grace of His blessing
on these, His servants, whom, in His kindness, He
raises to the sacred Order of the diaconate.
 A Deacon invites the people to kneel down…

Deacon: Let us kneel.

After the litany, the Bishop sings or says:

with hands
extended…

Lord God,
mercifully hear our prayers
and graciously accompany with Your help
what we undertake by virtue of our office.
Sanctify by Your blessing these men we
present, for in our judgment we believe them
worthy to exercise sacred ministries. with
hands joined:

Through Christ our Lord.

All answer:

Amen.

A Deacon invites the people to stand…

Deacon: Let us stand.

The Elect rise and come to kneel before the Bishop.

Laying on of Hands and Prayer of Ordination

The Bishop, wearing the miter, lays his hands upon the heads of the elect,
without saying anything.

With the elect kneeling, the Bishop puts aside the miter, and prays:
with hands
extended…

Draw near, we pray, almighty God,

giver of every grace,
who apportion every order and assign every office;
who remain unchanged, but make all things new.
In Your eternal providence, You
make provision for every age,
as You order all creation
through Him who is Your
Word, Your power and Your
wisdom,
Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord.

You grant that the Church, His Body, adorned with

manifold heavenly graces, drawn together in the
diversity of its members, and united by a wondrous
bond through the Holy Spirit, should grow and spread
forth to build up a new temple
and, as once You chose the sons of Levi to
minister in the former tabernacle, so now
You establish three ranks of ministers in
their sacred offices to serve in Your Name.

And so, in the first days of Your Church,

through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit,
Your Son’s Apostles appointed seven men of good
repute to assist them in the daily ministry, that they
might devote themselves more fully to prayer and
preaching of the Word.

By prayer and the laying on of hands

they entrusted to those chosen men the ministry of serving at
table.
We beseech You, Lord: look with favor on these servants of
Yours who will minister at Your holy altar and whom we now
humbly dedicate to the office of deacon.

Send forth upon them, Lord, we pray,

the Holy Spirit,
that they may be strengthened by
the gift of Your sevenfold grace
for the faithful carrying out of the
work of the ministry.

May there abound in them every Gospel

virtue: unfeigned love, concern for the sick
and poor, unassuming authority, the purity of
innocence and the observance of spiritual
discipline.

May Your commandments shine forth in their

conduct, so that by the example of their way of life
they may inspire the imitation of Your holy people. In
 offering the witness of a clear conscience, may they
remain strong and steadfast in Christ, so that by
imitating on earth Your Son, who came not to be
served but to serve,
they may be found worthy to reign in heaven with Him,

with hands joined…

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
All answer:

Amen.

The Bishop then adds:

Please be seated.
Handing on of the Book of Gospels
The Bishop is seated and takes the miter.

The new Deacons are vested in stole and

dalmatic.

Vested, the newly Ordained go to the Bishop and kneel before him.

He places the Book of Gospels in the hands of the new Deacons and says:

Receive the Gospel of Christ, whose herald you have

become. Believe what you read, teach what you believe, and
practice what you teach.
 Lastly, the Bishop, still wearing the miter, stands & gives the newly Ordained
the fraternal kiss individually, saying:

Peace be with you.

The newly Ordained respond:

And with your spirit.

The Bishop returns to his seat as the Deacons present share the Fraternal Kiss
with the new Deacons.

The Liturgy of the Eucharist

Presentation of the Gifts

Offertory Hymn (So You Must Do)

The Priest, 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.

Then the Priest 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.

After this, the Priest, 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 Priest and the people.

Then the Priest, standing at the side of the altar, washes his hands, saying:

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.

Prayer Over

Accept, O Lord, the gifts we present to You

on this feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe,
the Offerings
and grant that this sacrifice
may strengthen us to fulfill Your
commandments as true children of the Virgin Mary
with hands joined…

Through Christ our Lord.

PAUSE FOR MAIN

CONCELEBRANTS TO GATHER AT THE
ALTAR.
Priest: The Lord be with you.

Priest: Lift up your hearts.

Priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord Our God.

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,
and to praise, bless, and glorify Your Name
on the feast day of the Blessed ever-Virgin Mary.

For by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit

she conceived Your Only Begotten Son,
and without losing the glory of virginity,
brought forth into the world the eternal Light,
Jesus Christ our Lord.

Through Him the Angels praise Your majesty,

Dominions adore and Powers tremble before You.
Heaven and the Virtues of heaven and the blessed
Seraphim worship together with exultation.
May our voices, we pray, join with theirs
 in humble praise, as we acclaim:

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts…

Holy, Holy, Holy

The Priest, with hands extended, says

 You are indeed Holy, O Lord,
and all You have created
rightly gives You praise,
for through Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
by the power and working of the Holy Spirit, You
give life to all things and make them holy, and You
never cease to gather a people to Yourself, so that
from the rising of the sun to its setting a pure
sacrifice may be offered to Your Name.

He joins his hands and, holding them extended over the offerings, says:

Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore You:

by the same Spirit graciously make holy these gifts we
have brought to You for consecration,

He joins his hands and makes the Sign of the Cross over the bread and
chalice together, saying:

that they may become the Body and  Blood of

Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,

He joins his hands. at whose command we celebrate

these mysteries.
In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly
and distinctly, as the nature of these words requires.

For on the night He was betrayed

He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:
He Himself took bread, and, giving You
thanks, He said the blessing,
broke the bread and gave it to His disciples, saying:
He bows 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.

After this, he continues:

In a similar way, when supper was ended,

He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above
the altar, continues:
 He took the chalice,
and, giving You thanks, He said the blessing,
and gave the chalice to His disciples, saying:

He bows 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 sings or says:

Mystery of Faith
Then the Priest, with hands extended, says:
Celebrant with concelebrants

Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the memorial

of the saving Passion of Your Son, His wondrous
Resurrection and Ascension into heaven,
and as we look forward to His second coming,
we offer You in thanksgiving this holy and
living sacrifice.

Look, we pray, upon the oblation of Your Church and,

recognizing the sacrificial Victim by whose death
You willed to reconcile us to Yourself,
grant that we, who are nourished by the
Body and Blood of Your Son and filled
with His Holy Spirit, may become one
body, one spirit in Christ.

POST SANCTUS EPICLESIS

(Prayed by Concelebrant 1)
 May He make of us an eternal offering to You, so that we
may obtain an inheritance with Your elect, especially with
the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with Blessed
Joseph, her Spouse, with Your blessed Apostles and glorious
Martyrs (with Saint N. – the Saint of the day, or Patron Saint
of the parish) and with all the Saints, on whose constant
intercession in Your presence we rely for unfailing help.

COMMEMORATION OF THE LIVING & DEAD

(Prayed by Celebrant or Concelebrant 2)

M ay this Sacrifice of our reconciliation, we pray, O Lord,

advance the peace and salvation of all the world. Be pleased to
confirm in faith and charity Your pilgrim Church on earth, with
Your servant Francis, our Pope, and Robert, our Bishop, with the
Order of Bishops, these, Your servants, who have been ordained
today as ministers for the Church, all the clergy, and the entire
people You have gained for Your own.

L isten graciously to the prayers of this family, whom You have

summoned before You: in Your compassion, O merciful Father,
gather to Yourself all Your children scattered throughout the world.
 T o our departed brothers and sisters and to all who were pleasing
to You at their passing from this life, give kind admittance to Your
kingdom. There we hope to enjoy forever the fullness of Your glory,
with hands joined…
through Christ our Lord, through
whom You bestow on the world
all that is good.

Great Amen
After the chalice & paten are 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 …

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 as the people conclude the prayer, “For the Kingdom…”

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 Priest, 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.

Then he takes the Host, breaks it over the paten, and places a small piece in the
chalice, saying:

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:

Agnus Dei

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.
Then 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 consumed 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.

Communion The Lord has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the
Antiphon lowly. Lk 1:52

Communion Hymn (Iesu, Panis Vitae)

Lord God, may the Body and Blood

Prayer After of Your Son,
Communion which we receive in this sacrament,
 reconcile us always in Your love;
and may we who rejoice in Our Lady
of Guadalupe

until the day of the Lord dawns in
glory.

with hands joined…
