In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Before listening to the Word of God take a moment to reflect. <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For what am I grateful to God for today? Where did I stray from God: through words, actions or things I did not do. How might I do better tomorrow? What grace do I ask from God in order to live more closely in his love? <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You may wish to conclude by saying: <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Lord Jesus, you have revealed yourself as the way to the Father: You have poured out on your people the Spirit of truth: You are the Good Shepherd, leading us to eternal life: O God, who in the abasement of your Son A reading from the prophets Hosea 2: 16, 17-18, 21-22<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n I will betroth you to myself and you will come to know the name of the Lord<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It is the Lord who speaks:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n I am going to lure her When that day comes \u2013 it is the Lord who speaks \u2013 The word of the Lord.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Psalm 144: 2-9. R. v.8<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Lord is kind and full of compassion.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n I will bless you day after day Age to age shall proclaim your works, They will speak of your terrible deeds, The Lord is kind and full of compassion, Alleluia, Alleluia!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Your words are spirit, Lord, and they are life; Alleluia!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 9: 18-26<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Your faith has restored you to health<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n While Jesus was speaking, up came one of the officials, who bowed low in front of him and said, \u2018My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her and her life will be saved.\u2019 Jesus rose and, with his disciples, followed him. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Then from behind him came a woman, who had suffered from a haemorrhage for twelve years, and she touched the fringe of his cloak, for she said to herself, \u2018If I can only touch his cloak I shall be well again.\u2019 Jesus turned round and saw her; and he said to her, \u2018Courage, my daughter, your faith has restored you to health.\u2019 And from that moment the woman was well again. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n When Jesus reached the official\u2019s house and saw the flute-players, with the crowd making a commotion he said, \u2018Get out of here; the little girl is not dead, she is asleep.\u2019 And they laughed at him. But when the people had been turned out he went inside and took the little girl by the hand; and she stood up. And the news spread all round the countryside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Gospel of the Lord. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Apostles’ Creed<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n I believe in God, I believe in the Holy Spirit, Pray for family and loved ones so that they may be held in God\u2019s compassionate care. Pray for other countries who are struggling with the effects of the COVID 19 virus. <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For those in authority: may they offer advice with care and integrity, may they seek to protect the poor and vulnerable. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Lord, in your mercy. Hear our prayer<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For all who work in healthcare: give strength to all who look after the sick so that they may bring comfort and relief to the suffering. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Lord, in your mercy.

Hear our prayer<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Our Father, who art in heaven, I prostrate myself at your feet, O my Jesus, and I offer you the repentance of my contrite heart, which abases itself in its nothingness in Your Holy Presence. I adore you in the Sacrament of Your Love; I desire to receive You in the poor abode that my heart offers You. While waiting for the happiness of a Sacramental Communion, I want to possess You in spirit. Come to me, O my Jesus, that I may come to You. May Your love inflame my whole being, in life and in death. I believe in You. I hope in You. I love You. Lord God, Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary, Living God, you walk alongside us and speak to us throughout the Scriptures. Your word is our path and your truth is our light.

and lead her out into the wilderness
and speak to her heart.
I am going to give her back her vineyards,
and make the Valley of Achor a gateway of hope.
There she will respond to me as she did when she was young,
as she did when she came out of the land of Egypt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
she will call me, \u2018My husband\u2019,
no longer will she call me, \u2018My Baal.\u2019
I will betroth you to myself for ever,
betroth you with integrity and justice,
with tenderness and love;
I will betroth you to myself with faithfulness,
and you will come to know the Lord.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nResponsorial Psalm<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

hallowed by thy name;
they kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.

when our world lay in ruins
you raised it up again
on the foundation of your Son’s passion and death;
give us grace to rejoice in the freedom from sin
which he gained for us,
and bring us to everlasting joy.
We make our prayer through our Lord.
Through Christ our Lord.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMemorare<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
that never was it known that anyone
who fled to thy protection, implored thy help,
or sought thy intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do we come,
before thee do we stand sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not our petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer us.

you always brighten our path
<\/em>as a sign of salvation and of hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross,
took part in Jesus\u2019 pain while remaining steadfast in faith.
O loving Mother,
you know what we need,
and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee.
Intercede for us with your Son Jesus,
the Divine Physician,
for those who have fallen ill,
for those who are vulnerable,
and for those who have died.
Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick and seeking a cure.
Help us, O Mother of Divine Love,
to conform to the will of the Father
and to do as we are told by Jesus,
who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows,
so as to lead us, through the Cross,
to the glory of the Resurrection.
Amen.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
In our needs, despise not our petitions, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
