Children's Eucharist

Side 1

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,560
God our Father, in the transfigured glory of Christ your Son, you strengthen our faith
 
2
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:23,920
by confirming the witness of your prophets and show us the splendor of your beloved
 
3
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,680
sons and daughters.
 
4
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:36,680
we listen to the voice of your Son. Help us to become heirs to eternal life with Him,
 
5
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:44,680
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
 
6
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,680
Amen.
 
7
00:00:46,680 --> 00:01:00,320
A reading from the book of the prophet Dan.
 
8
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:08,320
As Daniel watched, thrones were set up, and the ancient one took his throne.
 
9
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:15,240
His clothing was snow bright, and the hair on his head as white as wool.
 
10
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,240
His throne was flames of fire, with wills of burning fire.
 
11
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,480
A surging stream of fire flowed out from where he sat.
 
12
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him,
 
13
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,440
and myriads upon myriads attended him.
 
14
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,400
The court was convened and the books were opened.
 
15
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,760
As the visions during the night continued,
 
16
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,760
I saw one like a son of man coming on the clouds of heaven.
 
17
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,960
When he reached the ancient one
 
18
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,640
and was presented before him,
 
19
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,560
he received dominion, glory, and kingship.
 
20
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:06,620
Nations and peoples of every language serve him.
 
21
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,480
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
 
22
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,740
that shall not be taken away.
 
23
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:18,500
His kingship shall not be destroyed.
 
24
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:21,660
This is the word of the Lord.
 
25
00:02:21,660 --> 00:02:23,140
Thanks be to God.
 
26
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:35,780
The Lord be with you.
 
27
00:02:35,780 --> 00:02:37,660
And also with you.
 
28
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,260
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark.
 
29
00:02:44,740 --> 00:03:10,340
Jesus took Peter, James, and John off by themselves with him and led them up a high mountain.
 
30
00:03:10,340 --> 00:03:17,680
He was transfigured before their eyes, and his clothes became dazzling white, whiter
 
31
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,160
than the work of any bleacher could make them.
 
32
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,740
Elijah appeared to them along with Moses.
 
33
00:03:27,740 --> 00:03:32,540
The two were in conversation with Jesus.
 
34
00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:35,380
Then Peter spoke to Jesus.
 
35
00:03:35,380 --> 00:03:40,380
Rabbi, how good it is for us to be here.
 
36
00:03:40,380 --> 00:03:45,380
Let us erect three booths on this site.
 
37
00:03:45,380 --> 00:03:52,380
One for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
 
38
00:03:52,380 --> 00:03:58,380
He hardly knew what to say, for they were all overcome with awe.
 
39
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:05,380
A cloud came, overshadowing them, and out of the cloud a voice,
 
40
00:04:05,380 --> 00:04:12,380
This is my Son, my Beloved, listen to Him.
 
41
00:04:12,380 --> 00:04:20,380
Suddenly looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them, only Jesus.
 
42
00:04:20,380 --> 00:04:27,660
As they were coming down the mountain, He strictly enjoined them not to tell
 
43
00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:35,740
anyone what they had seen, before the Son of Man had risen from the dead. They kept
 
44
00:04:35,740 --> 00:04:41,940
this word of His to themselves, though they continued to discuss what to rise
 
45
00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:48,620
from the dead meant. This is the Gospel of the Lord.
 
46
00:04:50,380 --> 00:05:06,540
May it please your eminence, the legate of our most holy father Pope Paul, your eminences,
 
47
00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:15,820
my brother bishops and priests, dearly beloved friends.
 
48
00:05:15,820 --> 00:05:30,860
Some time ago, a professor at one of the universities in Southern California decided to take an
 
49
00:05:30,860 --> 00:05:38,600
overseas trip with his wife and child.
 
50
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:56,500
In order to do so, he had to apply for a passport and to get the passport he had to answer certain
 
51
00:05:56,500 --> 00:06:12,780
questions such as name, date of birth, place of origin, and such things. One of the questions
 
52
00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:23,860
was to identify what was his principal occupation.
 
53
00:06:23,860 --> 00:06:28,100
There was no question about himself.
 
54
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:30,940
He was a professor.
 
55
00:06:30,940 --> 00:06:35,100
His wife was a housewife.
 
56
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:40,820
But he had some problem in identifying
 
57
00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:45,820
what the principal occupation of his child was.
 
58
00:06:49,340 --> 00:06:54,340
So finally, he wrote on the application form
 
59
00:06:56,020 --> 00:07:01,020
under that question of principal occupation,
 
60
00:07:03,180 --> 00:07:08,180
he wrote the words, eating and drinking.
 
61
00:07:10,820 --> 00:07:30,820
And when you come to think of it, it is quite possible that that is precisely the principal occupation of the whole land.
 
62
00:07:30,820 --> 00:07:51,820
When you fly eastward and when you pass over the Rocky Mountains, there extends almost to infinity the prairie lands, the grain fields of America,
 
63
00:07:51,820 --> 00:08:07,820
which in turn involves the whole economy of processing food and bringing it as nourishment to our tables.
 
64
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:25,820
Even our entertainment world is by and large subsidized by food, cat food and dog food, even so.
 
65
00:08:25,820 --> 00:08:43,100
It is interesting to note also that this process of growing food requires water.
 
66
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:53,900
And as you pass over the Rocky Mountains, you see how God in his divine providence has
 
67
00:08:53,900 --> 00:09:06,420
arranged for this perennial, perpetual flow of water from the continental divide, east
 
68
00:09:06,420 --> 00:09:17,940
and west, so that all the grain fields of the land shall have this nourishing element
 
69
00:09:17,940 --> 00:09:30,140
of water to give growth and sustenance to our food.
 
70
00:09:30,140 --> 00:09:46,140
There is also a second preoccupation about which we are all concerned.
 
71
00:09:46,140 --> 00:09:53,140
And that preoccupation is talking.
 
72
00:09:53,140 --> 00:10:02,980
We have a big word for it in the adult world.
 
73
00:10:02,980 --> 00:10:08,100
We call it communication.
 
74
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:19,780
And from morning until night, we are involved with these instruments of conversation and
 
75
00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:22,220
noise.
 
76
00:10:22,220 --> 00:10:36,620
Transistor radios, telephone, television, satellite programs, and all that that involves
 
77
00:10:36,620 --> 00:10:50,460
accounts for a great deal of the economy and the preoccupation of our country.
 
78
00:10:50,460 --> 00:11:05,820
Now Jesus, realizing these fundamental occupations in our way of life, accepts them
 
79
00:11:05,820 --> 00:11:18,540
and uses them so that he could meet us precisely where we are at.
 
80
00:11:18,540 --> 00:11:28,180
And so Jesus hides behind the appearances of bread.
 
81
00:11:28,180 --> 00:11:38,740
Jesus hides behind the appearances of wine, food, and drink.
 
82
00:11:38,740 --> 00:11:54,860
And Jesus hides behind our human words so that in that manner he can come to us where
 
83
00:11:54,860 --> 00:11:57,380
we are at.
 
84
00:11:57,380 --> 00:12:03,620
That's exactly what the Eucharist is.
 
85
00:12:03,620 --> 00:12:11,940
The liturgy of the Eucharist and the liturgy of the world.
 
86
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:27,180
The all-holy, all-loving Jesus, wishing to come so close to us in bread and wine and
 
87
00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:46,700
Now as a result of that condescension and love of Jesus, there are certain responsibilities
 
88
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:51,220
which become ours.
 
89
00:12:51,220 --> 00:13:04,940
First of all, we must express somehow a hunger for this bread.
 
90
00:13:04,940 --> 00:13:19,900
And we manifest that hunger in one particular way, and that is the reverence with which
 
91
00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:24,900
we come to unmask Jesus in the bread.
 
92
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,760
Therefore, the way we dress,
 
93
00:13:32,780 --> 00:13:37,780
the way we comport our bodies,
 
94
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,000
our whole outward demeanor must be one of a reverence
 
95
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:59,640
be one of a reverence that befits someone who has been invited to have supper with the
 
96
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:07,480
Lord. That is the test of our hunger.
 
97
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:21,440
Secondly, just as we must hunger for the bread, we must also hunger for his word.
 
98
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:27,160
And we do that by listening.
 
99
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:41,840
is the hardest thing we are asked to do because there are so many competing voices for our
 
100
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:56,640
attention that it takes a great heroism to push aside these other enticing voices.
 
101
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:12,800
and to hear Jesus only. A test of this is how much of his Word do we remember
 
102
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:23,640
after the liturgy. Sunday after Sunday he is like a sower who goes out into the
 
103
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:35,880
field scattering his word? Does it fall on stony pathways in our hearts and never take
 
104
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:45,380
root? Or does it fall on listening soil?
 
105
00:15:45,380 --> 00:15:59,380
The third responsibility which Jesus expects from us is that we shall share our bread.
 
106
00:15:59,380 --> 00:16:09,560
Jesus will say to us, I was hungry and you gave me to eat.
 
107
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:15,140
I was thirsty and you gave me to drink.
 
108
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:19,880
Lord, when were you hungry?
 
109
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,580
When were you thirsty?
 
110
00:16:23,580 --> 00:16:29,600
As often as you did it to the least of my little ones,
 
111
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,640
you did it to me.
 
112
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:42,660
Jesus, who disguises himself behind bread and wine and word,
 
113
00:16:42,660 --> 00:16:49,660
hides also behind the hunger of my brother."
 
114
00:16:54,340 --> 00:17:12,060
Next, Jesus expects from us that just as bread and wine are made from many, many
 
115
00:17:12,060 --> 00:17:25,100
pieces, grains of wheat and many grapes, so also that we shall be one with him, that there
 
116
00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:37,380
are no grudges between us, no desire to get even with my brother, but that when I come
 
117
00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:50,100
to him, if there is anything between me and my brother, he asks me, please go back, be
 
118
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:59,140
reconciled with your brother, and then come and visit me."
 
119
00:17:59,140 --> 00:18:15,940
Now just as all of these natural products depend on water, so also this power to recognize
 
120
00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:31,580
Jesus behind the masks that he wears depend on water. That water is baptism. And through
 
121
00:18:31,580 --> 00:18:45,660
baptism we have received the power of faith. And faith is the manner in which we can unmask
 
122
00:18:45,660 --> 00:19:03,640
Jesus. Today we saw how beautifully he hides his humanity, hides his radiant
 
123
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:15,940
divinity more blinding than the sun, whiter than the snow, and only faith can
 
124
00:19:15,940 --> 00:19:30,740
see him there. And so too we bring this faith to this holy place. We who are here
 
125
00:19:30,740 --> 00:19:41,460
our delegates of all of the children of the world and in particular of our own
 
126
00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:54,820
nation. And we come to a Eucharist which is a Thanksgiving. And what we must do is
 
127
00:19:54,820 --> 00:20:10,260
reach out, discover Jesus, unmask him, and give him one great hug of thanksgiving.
 
128
00:20:10,260 --> 00:20:14,900
Thank you, Jesus.
 
129
00:20:24,820 --> 00:20:49,740
Boys and girls and all who have come to celebrate the goodness of God with you in this Eucharist,
 
130
00:20:49,740 --> 00:20:59,940
Let us be sensitive to the hungers of the human family and pray that they may be satisfied
 
131
00:20:59,940 --> 00:21:04,700
through the Eucharist.
 
132
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:15,160
That the whole church may experience a stronger faith through this Eucharistic Congress, we
 
133
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,160
We pray to you, Lord.
 
134
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,640
Lord, hear our prayer.
 
135
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:27,700
For the leaders of the world, that they will be responsible, truthful, and understanding
 
136
00:21:27,700 --> 00:21:32,640
in serving the needs of their people, we pray to you, Lord.
 
137
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,040
Lord, hear our prayer.
 
138
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:41,320
For the children everywhere who hunger for the understanding of Christ and his works,
 
139
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,760
that the Holy Spirit will fill them.
 
140
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,200
We pray to you, Lord.
 
141
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,880
For those who are attending this mass,
 
142
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,880
that they may grow closer to Jesus,
 
143
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,640
the bread of life.
 
144
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,140
We pray to you, Lord.
 
145
00:22:06,140 --> 00:22:09,140
Lord, we are awakened.
 
146
00:22:09,140 --> 00:22:17,300
For all young men and women, that the Holy Spirit may inspire them to follow the vocations
 
147
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:21,140
to which God has called them, we pray to you, Lord.
 
148
00:22:21,140 --> 00:22:25,140
Lord, we are awakened.
 
149
00:22:25,140 --> 00:22:31,140
Father in Heaven, you have made us for yourself.
 
150
00:22:31,140 --> 00:22:39,140
Our hearts are restless until they rest in you.
 
151
00:22:39,140 --> 00:22:46,140
Fulfill this longing through Jesus, the Bread of Life,
 
152
00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:58,140
so that we may witness to him who alone satisfies the hungers of the human family.
 
153
00:22:58,140 --> 00:23:05,140
By the power of your Spirit, lead us to the heavenly table,
 
154
00:23:05,140 --> 00:23:13,140
where we may feast on the vision of your glory forever and ever.
 
155
00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:56,860
Lord, by the transfiguration of your Son, make our gifts holy, and by his radiant glory,
 
156
00:23:56,860 --> 00:24:03,860
We ask from our sins. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
 
157
00:24:03,860 --> 00:24:04,860
Amen.
 
158
00:24:06,860 --> 00:24:07,860
The Lord be with you.
 
159
00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:09,860
And also with you.
 
160
00:24:09,860 --> 00:24:11,860
Lift up your hearts.
 
161
00:24:11,860 --> 00:24:13,860
We lift them up to the Lord.
 
162
00:24:13,860 --> 00:24:17,860
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
 
163
00:24:17,860 --> 00:24:21,860
He is right to be in our midst and grace.
 
164
00:24:21,860 --> 00:24:33,900
God, our loving Father, we are glad to give you thanks and praise because we love you.
 
165
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:37,860
With Jesus we sing your praise.
 
166
00:24:37,860 --> 00:24:44,340
You love us.
 
167
00:24:44,340 --> 00:24:49,140
You gave us this great and beautiful world.
 
168
00:24:49,140 --> 00:24:52,140
With Jesus we sing your praise.
 
169
00:24:52,140 --> 00:24:59,140
Glory to God in the highest.
 
170
00:24:59,140 --> 00:25:09,140
Because you love us, you sent Jesus your Son to bring us to you and to gather us around
 
171
00:25:09,140 --> 00:25:13,140
him as the children of one family.
 
172
00:25:13,140 --> 00:25:17,140
With Jesus we sing your praise.
 
173
00:25:17,140 --> 00:25:29,620
For such great love we thank you with the angels and the saints as they praise you and sing.
 
174
00:25:29,620 --> 00:25:49,740
Blessed be Jesus whom you sent to be the friend of children and of the poor.
 
175
00:25:49,740 --> 00:25:58,260
He came to show us how we can love you, Father, by loving one another.
 
176
00:25:58,260 --> 00:26:08,220
He came to take away sin which keeps us from being friends, and hate which makes us all
 
177
00:26:08,220 --> 00:26:09,220
unhappy.
 
178
00:26:09,220 --> 00:26:19,460
He promised to send the Holy Spirit to be with us always so that we can live as your
 
179
00:26:19,460 --> 00:26:20,460
children.
 
180
00:26:20,460 --> 00:26:49,460
God our Father, we now ask you to send your Holy Spirit to change these people.
 
181
00:26:49,460 --> 00:27:00,260
change these gifts of bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ our Lord.
 
182
00:27:00,260 --> 00:27:09,380
The night before he died, Jesus your Son showed us how much you love us.
 
183
00:27:09,380 --> 00:27:19,340
When he was at supper with his disciples, he took bread and gave you thanks and praise.
 
184
00:27:19,340 --> 00:27:24,340
Then he broke the bread, gave it to his friends, and said,
 
185
00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:31,460
take this, all of you, and eat it.
 
186
00:27:31,460 --> 00:27:36,460
This is my body, which will be given up for you.
 
187
00:27:41,420 --> 00:27:44,420
Jesus has given his life for us.
 
188
00:27:49,340 --> 00:28:04,340
When supper was ended, Jesus took the cup that was filled with wine, he thanked you,
 
189
00:28:04,340 --> 00:28:13,220
gave it to his friends and said, Take this, all of you, and drink from it.
 
190
00:28:13,220 --> 00:28:20,580
This is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant.
 
191
00:28:20,580 --> 00:28:28,220
It will be shed for you and for all men, so that sins may be forgiven.
 
192
00:28:28,220 --> 00:28:42,060
Jesus has given his life for us.
 
193
00:28:42,060 --> 00:28:49,060
Then he said to them, Do this in memory of me.
 
194
00:28:52,060 --> 00:28:57,060
Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.

Side 2

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,560
And as so loving Father, we remember that Jesus died and rose again to save the world.
2
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:20,520
He put himself into our hands to be the sacrifice we offer you.
3
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:39,960
Lord, our God, listen to our prayer.
4
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:45,800
Send the Holy Spirit to all of us who share this meal.
5
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:54,680
May this Spirit bring us closer together in the family of the Church with Paul our Pope,
6
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:01,680
John our Bishop, all other bishops, and all who serve your people.
7
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,680
We believe in you, Lord Jesus Christ, and we thank you.
8
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:20,680
Remember, Father, our families and friends, and all those we do not love as we should.
9
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,680
Remember those who have died.
10
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,680
Bring them home to you, to be with you forever.
11
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,680
We pray to you Jesus, we pray to you.
12
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,680
Gather us all together into your kingdom.
13
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:51,680
There we shall be happy forever with the Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our Mother.
14
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,680
There all the friends of Jesus the Lord will sing a song of joy.
15
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,680
We praise you, Jesus, we praise you.
16
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:20,040
Through Him, with Him, in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honour is
17
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:28,840
yours, O Almighty Father, for ever and ever.
18
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,840
Please at this time cross arms and join hands.
19
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,400
Let us pray with confidence to the Father
20
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,320
in the words our Savior gave us.
21
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,160
Our Father who art in heaven,
22
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:06,160
hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
23
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:13,160
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who
24
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,160
trespass against us.
25
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:25,160
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who
26
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:40,160
to trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
27
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:48,160
Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our days.
28
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:56,160
In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety
29
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:05,160
as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
30
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:13,160
Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your Apostles,
31
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:22,240
I leave you peace, my peace I give you. Look not on our sins but on the faith of
32
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:28,320
your church and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom where you live
33
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:39,600
forever and ever. The peace of the Lord be with you always. Let us offer to one
34
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,240
another now a sign of Christ's peace.
35
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:59,400
This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Happy are those
36
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,560
who are called to his supper.
37
00:05:39,600 --> 00:06:09,560
My dear friends, before concluding this beautiful liturgy,
38
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:21,200
I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to all the young people who have taken part.
39
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:50,500
I think they have brought the mystery of Christ's transfiguration very vividly before us today.
40
00:06:50,500 --> 00:07:09,440
I am confident that the memory of this liturgy will remain with them and with us and help
41
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:18,580
us through all the difficulties of life as we recall the great mystery of Christ's
42
00:07:18,580 --> 00:07:25,580
transfiguration that is to be realised in us in eternal life.
43
00:07:25,580 --> 00:07:44,340
May I add a word of thanks too to all those who have worked so hard to prepare this wonderful
44
00:07:44,340 --> 00:07:54,620
and impressive liturgy.
45
00:07:54,620 --> 00:08:02,900
And I include in the organizers the parents and the teachers who have cooperated with
46
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:15,160
such great generosity.
47
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:22,780
And now I would like to impart to you our Holy Father's blessing.
48
00:08:22,780 --> 00:08:31,660
I ask you to see in this blessing a pledge of His affection and a pledge of Christ's
49
00:08:31,660 --> 00:08:38,660
enduring love for each and every one of us.
50
00:08:45,980 --> 00:08:50,980
The Lord be with you.
51
00:08:50,980 --> 00:08:53,420
Bow your heads and pray for God's blessing.
52
00:08:53,420 --> 00:08:56,180
May almighty God bless you,
53
00:08:56,180 --> 00:08:57,380
the Father,
54
00:08:57,380 --> 00:08:58,440
the Son,
55
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,620
and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
56
00:09:01,620 --> 00:09:08,020
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Thanks be to God.
