00:00Let us get ourselves in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
00:20The Lord be with you.
00:22With you, Spirit.
00:23We offer this Eucharist for the intentions of Aunty Swashini from Sri Lanka
00:28and especially for all her good health.
00:31Dear brothers and sisters, today we are celebrating the feast day of Saint Bonaventure, Bishop and Doctor of the Church.
00:38So let us come before God as we are.
00:41Let us acknowledge our littleness, our weaknesses, our human priorities.
00:47But most importantly, let us acknowledge the merciful heart of God for us.
00:55You are sent to heal the contrite of heart.
00:58Lord, have mercy.
01:00You came to call sinners.
01:02Christ, have mercy.
01:04You are seated at the right hand of the Father to intercede for us.
01:09Lord, have mercy.
01:12May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and lead us into life everlasting.
01:19Amen.
01:20Let us pray.
01:21Grant, we pray, Almighty God, that just we celebrate the heavenly birthday of the Bishop Saint Bonaventure.
01:35We may benefit from his great learning and constantly imitate the arrow of his charity.
01:44Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
01:51God, forever and ever.
01:54Amen.
01:55Reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians.
02:02This is what I pray.
02:04Kneeling before the Father, from every family, whether spiritual or natural, take its name.
02:13Out of his infinite glory, may he give you the power through his Spirit for your hidden self to grow strong so that Christ may live in your heart through faith and then planted in love and built on love.
02:34You will, with all sense, have strength to grab the bread and the length, the height and the depth, until knowing the love of Christ, which is beyond all knowledge, you are filled with the utter fullness of God.
02:53The word of the Lord.
02:56Thanks be to God.
02:57Your response.
02:58Lord, teach me your decrees.
03:01Lord, teach me your decrees.
03:03How shall we young remain sinless?
03:06By obeying your word.
03:08I have sought you with all my heart.
03:10Let me not stray from your commands.
03:13Your response.
03:14Lord, teach me your decrees.
03:16I treasure your promise in my heart, lest I sin against you.
03:21Blessed are you, O Lord, teach me your statutes.
03:25Your response.
03:26Lord, teach me your decrees.
03:28With my tongue I have recounted the decrees of your lips.
03:33I rejoice to do your will, as though all riches were mine.
03:39Your response.
03:40Lord, teach me your decrees.
03:42Alleluia, Alleluia.
03:44You have one Father, your Father in heaven.
03:48You have one teacher, the Lord Jesus Christ.
03:51Alleluia.
03:52Alleluia.
03:53The Lord be with you.
03:55And with your spirit.
03:56Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
03:58Glory to you, O Lord.
04:01Jesus said to his disciples,
04:04You must not allow yourselves to be called Rabbi, since you have only one master, and you are all brothers and sisters.
04:16You must call no one on earth your father, since you have only one father, and he is in heaven.
04:26You must allow yourselves to call teachers, for you have only one teacher, the Christ.
04:35The greatest among you must be your servant.
04:39And anyone who exalts himself will be humbled.
04:44And anyone who humbles himself will be exalted.
04:50Brothers and sisters, the Gospel of the Lord.
04:53Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
05:06Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received this bread we offer you.
05:12Fruit of the earth and work of human hands, it will become for us a bread of life.
05:17Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation.
05:46For through your goodness we have received this bread we offer you.
05:49Fruit of the vine and work of human hands, it will become for us our spiritual drink.
05:55May my friends, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God the Almighty.
06:14May the Lord accept the sacrifice of your hands, your friends and God in his name.
06:21For I am good in the good of all the Church.
06:25May the sacrifice which we gladly present on the feast day of St. Bonaventure be pleasing to you, O God.
06:33For taught by him we too, give ourselves entirely to you in praise.
06:40Through Christ our Lord.
06:42Amen.
06:43The Lord be with you.
06:44And with your spirit.
06:46Lift up your hearts.
06:47Listen up to the Lord.
06:48Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
06:51It is truly right and just.
06:53Our duty and our salvation.
06:57Always and everywhere to give you thanks.
07:00Father most holy.
07:02To your beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
07:05Your word to whom you made all things.
07:09Whom you sent as our Savior and Redeemer.
07:12Incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin.
07:16Fulfilling your will and gaining for you a holy people.
07:21He stretched out his hands as he endured his passion.
07:25So to break the bones of death and manifest the resurrection.
07:30And so, with the angels and all the saints, we declare your glory.
07:36As with one voice we acclaim.
07:39Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of the house.

07:58Make holy, therefore, this gift we pray.
08:01By sending down your spirit upon them like a devil.
08:05So that they may become for us the body and the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
08:13At the time he was betrayed,
08:15He entered willingly into his passion.
08:18He took bread, giving thanks,
08:20broke it and gave it to his disciples saying,
08:24Take this, all of you, and eat of it.
08:30For this is my body which will be given up for you.
08:35In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chavis and once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples saying,
08:44Take this, all of you, and drink from it.
08:50when supper was ended he took the chalice and once more giving thanks he
