00:00In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Lord be with you.

00:21Welcome to Mass, wherever you might be today. We're celebrating the Feast of St. Bernard of Clairvaux today.

00:29He was born about 1090, excuse me. And when he was about 21, 22, he went off and joined the Benedictine Monastery.

00:44And over a few years he became a bit disenchanted with the affluence of the Benedictine Order at the time.

00:54And he and some others began their own kind of community, and that grew over a period of time.

01:06There were several of those communities that were looking for a more purified form of the Benedictine Order, if you like.

01:14So today we stand in God's presence and ask him to give us that sense of fidelity, and we ask for his forgiveness.

01:32Lord, you are our model of fidelity. Lord, have mercy. Lord, you are our model of humility. Christ, have mercy.

01:43And Lord, you are our model of unconditional love. Lord, have mercy.

01:49May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to life everlasting. Let us pray.

01:58O God, who made of the abbot St. Bernard a man consumed with zeal for your house, and a light shining and burning in your church,

02:08grant through his intercession that we may be on fire with the same spirit, and walk always as children of light.

02:18And we ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

02:25The first reading today is from the Old Testament, from the book of Ecclesiasticus.

02:32It says, Whatever fears the Lord will act, whoever fears the Lord will act like this, and whoever grasps the law will obtain wisdom.

02:45She will come to meet him like a mother, and receive him like a virgin bride.

02:52She will give him the bread of understanding to eat, and the water of wisdom to drink.

02:58He will lean on her and will not fall. He will rely on her and not be put to shame.

03:07She will raise him high above his neighbours, and in full assembly she will open his mouth.

03:14He will find happiness in the crown of joy. He will inherit an everlasting name.

03:23The word of the Lord.

03:26And our response to the psalms of today is simply, Lord, teach me your decrees.

03:32Lord, teach me your decrees.

03:36How shall the young remain sinless? By obeying your word.

03:41I have sought you with all my heart, let me not stray from your commands.

03:47Lord, teach me your decrees.

03:51I treasure your promise in my heart, lest I sin against you.

03:55Blessed are you, O Lord, teach me your statutes.

03:59Lord, teach me your decrees.

04:03With my tongue I have recounted the decrees of your lips.

04:07I rejoice to do your will, as though all riches were mine.

04:13Lord, teach me your decrees.

04:17And we greet the Gospel.

04:19Alleluia, alleluia.

04:21Remain in my love, says the Lord.

04:24All who live in me and I in them will bear much fruit.

04:29Alleluia.

04:36The Lord be with you.

04:38A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John.

04:45Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said,

04:50Holy Father, I pray not only for these,

04:55but for those also who through their words will believe in me.

05:01May they all be one.

05:04Father, may they be one in us as you are in me and I am in you,

05:13so that the world may believe it was you who sent me.

05:18I have given them the glory you gave to me,

05:22that they may be one as we are one.

05:27With me in them and you in me, may they be so completely one

05:32that the world will realize that it was you who sent me

05:36and that I've loved them as much as you loved me.

05:41Father, I want those you've given me to be with me where I am,

05:48so that they may always see the glory you've given me

05:51because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

05:56Father, righteous one, the world has not known you,

06:00but I have known you and these have known that you have sent me.

06:06I've made your name known to them and will continue to make it known

06:12so that the love with which you love me may be in them

06:18and so that I may be in them.

06:24The Gospel of the Lord.

06:32Blessed you, Lord God of all creation,

06:34through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you.

06:37Bread of the earth and work of human hands,

06:39it will become for us the bread of life.

06:43By the mystery of this water and wine,

06:45may we come to share in the divinity of Christ

06:53who humbled himself to share in our humanity.

07:05Blessed you, Lord God of all creation,

07:07through your goodness we have received the wine we offer you.

07:09Fruit of the vine and work of human hands,

07:12it will become our spiritual drink.

07:16Lord God, we ask you to receive us and be pleased with the sacrifice we offer you

07:19with humble and contrite hearts.

07:21Lord, wash away my iniquity, cleanse me from my sin.

07:35Pray now, my brothers and sisters,

07:36that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the Almighty Father.

07:46We offer unto your majesty, O Lord,

07:48the sacrament of unity and peace

07:52as we celebrate the memorial of the abbot Saint Bernard,

07:58a man outstanding in word and deed

08:00who strove to bring order and concord to your church.

08:06And we ask this through Christ our Lord.

08:10The Lord be with you.

08:14Lift up your hearts and let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

08:20It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation

08:23always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord,

08:25Holy Father, Almighty and Eternal God,

08:28through your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, your Word,

08:31through whom you made all things,

08:32whom you sent as our Saviour and our Redeemer,

08:35incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary,

08:39fulfilling your will and gaining for you a holy people.

08:43He stretched out his hands as he endured his passion

08:46so as to break the bonds of death and manifest the resurrection.

08:51And so the angels and saints will declare your glory

08:54as with one voice we acclaim,

08:57Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts,

09:01heaven and earth are full of your glory, Hosanna in the highest.

09:05Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

09:07Hosanna in the highest.

09:14You are indeed holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness.

09:17Make holy, therefore, these years, we pray,

09:19by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall,

09:23so that they may become for us

09:24the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

09:28At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his passion,

09:32he took bread, and giving thanks, he broke it

09:34and gave it to his disciples, saying,

09:36Take this, all of you, and eat of it.

09:39For this is my body, which will be given up for you.

09:53In a similar way, when supper was ended,

10:05he took the chalice, and once more giving thanks,

10:07he gave it to his disciples, saying,

10:09Take this, all of you, and drink from it.

10:11For this is the chalice of my blood,

10:14the blood of the new and eternal covenant,

10:16which will be poured out for you and for many,

10:20for the forgiveness of sins.

10:22Do this in memory of me.

10:40The mystery of faith.

10:42When we eat this bread and drink this cup,

10:44we proclaim your death, O Lord, until you come again.

10:48Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection,

10:52we offer you, Lord, the bread of life and the chalice of salvation,

10:56giving thanks that you have held us worthy

10:58to be in your presence and to minister to you.

11:02Humbly, we pray, partaking of the body and blood of Christ,

11:06we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.

11:10Remember, Lord, your Church spread throughout the world.

11:14Bring her to the fullness of charity,

11:16together with Francis, our Pope, Charles, our Bishop,

11:20all the clergy, and the whole of God's people.

11:24Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep

11:27in the hope of the resurrection,

11:29and all who have died in your mercy.

11:32Welcome them into the light of your face.

11:37Have mercy on us all, we pray,

11:39and with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,

11:41Saint Joseph, her spouse, the blessed apostles,

11:44and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages,

11:47we may merit to be co-heirs to eternal life,

11:51and may praise and glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

11:57Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, Almighty Father,

12:00in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

12:02all glory and honour is yours, forever and ever.

12:09And we might like now to pray the beautiful prayer

12:12that Jesus himself taught us to pray as a family.

12:16Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

12:21Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

12:26Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,

12:31as we forgive those who trespass against us.

12:34And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

12:38Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil.

12:41Graciously grant peace in our day, for by the help of your mercy,

12:46we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress,

12:50as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

12:56For the kingdom and the power and the glory are yours now and forever.

13:00Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles,

13:03Peace I leave you, my peace I give you.

13:06Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your church,

13:10and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will,

13:14to live and reign forever and ever.

13:17The peace of the Lord be with you always.

13:21Let us take a moment and offer each other a sign of peace.

13:25Peace now, wherever you may be.

13:30Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

13:35Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

13:40Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

13:54Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

14:02Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world.

14:06Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

14:10Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,

14:14but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

14:19My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament.

14:24I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.

14:29Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

14:35I embrace you as if you were already there, and unite myself wholly to you.

14:40Never permit me to be separated from you.

14:43Amen.

14:44Let us pray.

14:49May the food we have received, O Lord, as we honour Saint Bernard, work its effect in us,

14:58so that, strengthened by his example and instructed by his teaching,

15:04we may be caught up in the love of your incarnate Word, Jesus Christ.

15:10The love of your incarnate Word, Jesus Christ, lives and reigns with you forever and ever.

15:18The Lord be with you.

15:20May almighty God bless you, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

15:26Let us go in peace now to love and serve the Lord.

15:34Thank you, everybody.

15:35I hope you have an absolutely beautiful day.

15:38God bless.

15:40Amen.
