4 ENTRANCE ANTIPHON: Let us all rejoice in the Lord, as we celebrate the feast day in honour of all the Saints, at whose festival the Angels rejoice and praise the Son of God. A reading from the Book of Revelation (7:2-4, 9-14) I John, saw an angel ascend from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads.” And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, out of every tribe of the sons of Israel. After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels stood round the throne and round the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power and might be to our God for ever and ever ! Amen.” Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and whence have they come?” I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” This is the Word of the Lord. RESPONSORIAL PSALM. Response: Such are the men who seek your face, O Lord. The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness, the world and all its peoples. It is he who set it on the seas; on the waters he made it firm. R/ Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord? Who shall stand in his holy place? The man with clean hands and pure heart, who desires not worthless things. R/ He shall receive blessings from the Lord and reward from the God who saves him. Such are the men who seek him, seek the face of the God of Jacob. R/ A reading from the First Letter of St John (3:1-3) See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. This is the Word of the Lord. Alleluia, alleluia! Come to me, all who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest, says the Lord. Alleluia! A reading from the Holy Gospel According to St Matthew (5:1-12) Seeing the crowds, Jesus went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” “Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.” The Gospel of the Lord. Entrance: Offertory: Communion: For all the Saints Final: To God be the Glory Take and Receive Be exalted O God To God be the glory, great things He hath done, So loved He the world that He gave us His Son, Who yielded His life our redemption to win, And opened the life-gate that all may go in. Take and receive, O Lord, my liberty Take all my will, my mind, my memory All things I hold and all I own are Thine Thine was the gift, to Thee I all resign For all the saints who from their labors rest, Who you by faith before the world confess, Your name, O Jesus, be forever blest, Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice; Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory; great things He hath done. Do Thou direct and govern all and sway Do what Thou wilt, command, and I obey Only Thy grace, Thy love on me bestow These make me rich, all else will I forego. Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done, And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son; But purer, and higher, and greater will be Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see.

Weekly Parish Newsletter Bollettino Parrocchiale Settimanale Volume 9 - Issue 39th - ALL SAINTS DAY “Year B” 1st November 2015 The Parish Community of St. Brigid and St. Mark 378 Nicholson Street— North Fitzroy 3068 VIC Member of Central Deanery [email protected] We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people, the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we stand. We pay our respects to them for their care of the land. May we walk gently on this land. We are “Church” in Christ The twin celebrations of “All Saints” (1 November) and “All Souls” (2 November) were celebrated already in the early centuries of the Christian Community (the Church), remembering above all the martyrs for their faith, but then also all those who have died with faith in Christ resurrected, some for their holy life, others for their need of purification for their sins. Thus, in prayers, the believing community was manifesting a unity between the living and the dead. This bond of unity is called: The Mystical Body of Christ. Christ, in fact, the Head of the Church, gives life to all members of Church: the militant Church on earth, the purifying Church in purgatory and the glorious Church in Heaven. This manifests what we often profess: “I believe in the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come”. This belief is also recalled in the prayers of the Mass when the priest remembers in the sacrifice of Christ, the Saints and offer prayers for the deceased and for us the living. The two celebrations fit well together because they remind us of important realities of our Christian life, as St. Paul says: “If we live we live in Christ, if we die we die in Christ”. Therefore, death in the body is only a passage which reveals openly our fidelity to Christ: if we are found faithful, a glorious life will be given us; if we are found less faithful, we will need a further purification; if rejecting Christ, the condemnation. Let us fear the later, imitate the virtues of the saints, let us pray for the spiritual purification of the deceased and commit ourselves to live as faithful members of the Church here on earth. Siamo “Chiesa” in Cristo Le Celebrazioni di Tutti i Santi (1 Novembre) e di Tutti i Defunti (2 Novembre) si rifanno ancora ai primi secoli quando la comunitá crisitana (Chiesa) voleva ricordare anzitutto i martiri della fede, ma poi anche tutti coloro che sono morti nella fede di Cristo risorto, alcuni in un ricordo di santitá, altri in un ricordo di espiazione dei loro peccati. Cosí pregando, la Chiesa, comunitá dei credenti, esprime un vincolo di unitá con i vivi e i defunti. Questo vincolo di unitá viene chiamato: Il Corpo mistico di Cristo che unisce in Cristo nostro Capo la Chiesa militante in terra, la Chiesa purgante in purgatorio e la Chiesa gloriosa in cielo. Questa fede si rifá al Credo che spesso recitiamo: “Credo nella risurrezione dei morti e la vita del mondo che verrá; e viene richiamata nelle preghiere che il sacerdote dice nel canone della Messa: egli infatti ricorda i Santi, e prega per i defunti, e per noi viventi. Le due Celebrazioni stanno bene insieme perché ci ricordano realtá importanti della nostra fede, come dice S. Paolo: “Se viviamo, viviamo in Cristo, se moriamo, moriamo in Cristo”. La morte del corpo, perció, é solo un passaggio che rivelerá apertamente la nostra fedeltá a Cristo: se siamo trovati fedeli ci sará per noi la gloria, se mancanti la purificazione, se negatori di Cristo la condanna. Temiamo l’ultima, sforzandoci di imitare i santi, preghiamo per la purificazione spirituale dei nostri defunti e impegniamoci a vivere uniti a Cristo come membra vive della Chiesa giá qui in terra. INTENZIONI PER I CARI DEFUNTI - MESE DI NOVEMBRE: Sul tavolo all’ingresso della Chiesa e sui banchi, si trovano bustine per le intenzioni in ricordo dei defunti, scrivete i loro nomi con la vostra offerta e questi saranno ricordati durante il mese di novembre e durante tutto l’anno.

Io ti prego resta con me. Quando nell’ombra cade la sera, É questa, O Madre, la mia preghiera: Fa pura e santa l’anima mia. Ave Maria, Ave. Credo in te Signore, nato da Maria, Figlio eterno e santo, uomo come noi, Morto per amore vivo in mezzo a noi Una cosa sola, con il Padre e con i tuoi, Fino a quando, io lo so, tu ritornerai, Per aprirci il Regno di Dio. E quando l’alba annunzia il giorno, All’ara tua faccio ritorno, dicendo sempre con voce pia. Ave Maria, Ave. Tu sei la mia forza, altro io no ho. Tu sei la mi pace, la mia libertà. Niente nella vita ci separerà, So che la tua mano forte non mi lascerà So che da ogni male, Tu mi libererai E nel tuo perdono vivrò. Nei giorni lieti di gioia pura, e in quelli ancora della sventura: Ti dirò sempre, O Madre mia. Ave Maria, Ave. Mistero della Cena è il Corpo di Gesù. Mistero della Croce è il Sangue di Gesù. È questo pane e vino è Cristo in mezzo ai suoi. Gesù risorto e vivo sarà sempre con noi. Mistero della Chiesa è il Corpo di Gesù . Mistero della pace è il sangue di Gesù. Il pane che mangiamo fratelli ci farà. Intorno a questo altare l’amore crescerà .
