LI LITUR TURGY OF GY OF THE HE WORD ORD

First rst Read Reading ng - Malachi 3:1-4 The Lord you are seeking will suddenly enter his Temple The Lord God says this: Look I am going to send a messenger to prepare a way before me. And the Lord you are seeing will suddenly enter his Temple and the angel of the covenant whom you are longing for, yes, he is coming, says the lord of hosts. Who will be able to resist the day of his coming? Who will remain standing when he appears? For he is like the refiner’s fire and the fuller’s alkali. He will take his seat as refiner and purifer; he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and then they will make the offering to the Lord as it should be

• made. The offering of Judah and Jerusalem will then be welcomed by

the Lord as in former days, as in the years of old. The word of the Lord – THANKS BE TO GOD Ps Psalm 23 23 - WHO IS THE KING OF GLORY? IT IS THE LORD Second Re Second Readi ding ng Hebrews 2:14-18 – It was essential that he should become completely like his brothers and sisters Since all the children share the same blood and flesh, Jesus too shared equally in it, so that by his death he could take away all the power of the devil, who had power over death, and set free all those who had been held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death. For it was not the angels that he took to himself; he took to himself descent from

• Abraham. It was essential that he should in this way become completely

like his brothers so that he could be a compassionate and trustworthy high priest of God’s religion, able to atone for human sins. That is, because he has himself been through temptation and is able to help

• thers who are tempted. The word of the Lord – THANKS BE TO GOD

after a time of silent reflection : Gospel Gospel Greet Greeting ng - ALLELUIA The Lord be with you - AND WITH YOUR SPIRIT. A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (2:22-40) GLORY TO YOU, O LORD My eyes have seen your salvation When the day came for them to be purified as laid down by the Law of Moses, the parents of Jesus took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the lord – observing what stands written in the Law of the Lord: Every first born male must be consecrated to the Lord – and also to offer in sacrifice, in accordance with what is said I the Law of the lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons. Now in Jerusalem, there was a man named Simeon. He was an upright and devout man; he looked forward to Israel’s comforting and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit hat he would not see death until he had set his eyes on the Christ of the Lord. Prompted by the Spirit he came to the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the Law required, he took him into his arms and blessed God, and he said ; Now Master, you can let your servant go in peace just as you promised; because my eyes have seen the salvation which you have prepared for all the nations to see, a light to enlighten the pagans and the glory of your people Israel.

The Ni he Nicene Creed cene 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, (al all bow bow for

SLIDE 3

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. 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.

Inspired by your Spirit, Lord, we gather in your temple to welcome your Son. Enlighten our minds and lay bare our inmost thoughts. Purify your people, and make us obedience to the demands of your law, so that we may mature in wisdom and grow to full stature in your grace.
