Eꢁtraꢁce Hymꢁ: Come Holy Ghost

Come Holy Ghost, Creator blest, Aꢁd iꢁ our hearts take up thy rest; Come with Thy grace aꢁd heav’ꢁly aid To fill the hearts which Thou hast made, To fill the hearts which Thou hast made.

O Comfort blest, to thee we cry, Thou heav’ꢁly Giſt of God most High;

Thou Foꢁt of life, aꢁd Fire of love,

Aꢁd sweet Aꢁoiꢁꢀꢁg from above, Aꢁd sweet Aꢁoiꢁꢀꢁg from above.

Praise be to Thee, Father aꢁd Soꢁ, Aꢁd Holy Spirit, Three iꢁ Oꢁe; Aꢁd may the Soꢁ oꢁ us bestow The giſts that from the Spirit flow, The giſts that from the Spirit flow.

O Salutaris Hostia

O salutaris Hꢂsꢀa, quæ cæli paꢁdis ꢂsꢀum: Bella premuꢁt hꢂsꢀlia, da rꢂbur, fer auxilium.

Uꢁi triꢁꢂque Dꢂmiꢁꢂ sit sempiterꢁa glꢂria, Qui vitam siꢁe termiꢁꢂ ꢁꢂbis dꢂꢁet iꢁ patria.

Ameꢁ.

Scripture Readiꢁg: (please stand)

(1Thessalonians 1:5-8)) For our gospel did not come to you in word

alone but also in power and in the holy Spirit and with much

convicꢀon. You know what sort of people we were among you for your sake. And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in great afflicꢀon, with joy from the holy Spirit, so that you became a model for all believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.

Reflecꢀꢂꢁ: (please be seated)

Prayer ꢂf Eꢁtrustmeꢁt tꢂ The Diviꢁe Mercy: (please kneel)

O Lord, our God, we place all our trust in You, because You are mercy itself. We repent of our sins and turn to You for mercy. We trust You to provide for our every need, according to Your will. Help us to forgive others as You forgive us. We promise to be merciful by our deeds, words, and prayers. Though we have fears because of human

weakness, we rely on Your infinite goodness and mercy. We entrust

to Your mercy our very lives, our present situaꢀon and our uncertain future. We entrust to You the future of our planet, our Church, our naꢀons, our families, and all our needs. With loud cries we implore Your mercy on us and the whole world. Look upon us created in Your image and likeness. Form us in the Heart of Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit into living images of mercy. May all come to know the

depth of Your mercy and sing the praises of your mercy forever.

Amen.
