Memorial of Our Lady of Fatima
Ang puso ko'y nagpupuri, nagpupuri sa Panginoon
Nagagalak ang aking espiritu sa 'king Tagapagligtas.
Sapagkat nilingap Niya
Kababaan ng Kanyang alipin
Mapalad ang pangalan ko
sa lahat ng mga bansa.
Ang puso ko'y nagpupuri, nagpupuri sa Panginoon
Nagagalak ang aking espiritu sa 'king Tagapagligtas.
Sapagkat gumawa ang Poon
ng mga dakilang bagay
banal sa lupa't langit
ang pangalan ng Panginoon.
Ang puso ko'y nagpupuri, nagpupuri sa Panginoon
Nagagalak ang aking espiritu sa 'king Tagapagligtas.
Luwalhati sa Ama, sa Anak,
at sa 'Spiritu santo
Kapara noong unang-una,
ngayon at magpakailanman.
Ang puso ko'y nagpupuri, nagpupuri sa Panginoon
Nagagalak ang aking espiritu sa 'king Tagapagligtas.
Psalmody
PSALMODY
Ant. 1 Christ gave himself up for us as a sacrificial offering to God, alleluia.
Psalm 51
O God, have mercy on me
Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness. *
In your compassion blot out my offense.
O wash me more and more from my guilt *
and cleanse me from my sin.
My offenses truly I know them; *
my sin is always before me.
Against you, you alone, have I sinned; *
what is evil in your sight I have done.
That you may be justified when you give sentence *
and be without reproach when you judge.
O see, in guilt I was born, *
a sinner was I conceived.
Indeed you love truth in the heart; *
then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom.
O purify me, then I shall be clean; *
O wash me, I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me hear rejoicing and gladness, *
that the bones you have crushed may revive.
From my sins turn away your face *
and blot out all my guilt.
A pure heart create for me, O God, *
put a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence, *
nor deprive me of your holy spirit.
Give me again the joy of your help; *
with a spirit of fervor sustain me,
that I may teach transgressors your ways *
and sinners may return to you.
O rescue me, God, my helper, *
and my tongue shall ring out your goodness.
O Lord, open my lips *
and my mouth shall declare your praise.
For in sacrifice you take no delight, *
burnt offering from me you would refuse,
my sacrifice, a contrite spirit, *
a humbled, contrite heart you will not spurn.
In your goodness, show favor to Zion: *
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
Then you will be pleased with lawful sacrifice, *
holocausts offered on your altar.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
Psalm Prayer
Father, he who knew no sin was made sin for us, to save us and restore us to your friendship. Look upon our contrite heart and afflicted spirit and heal our troubled conscience, so that in the joy and strength of the Holy Spirit we may proclaim your praise and glory before all the nations.
Ant. Christ gave himself up for us as a sacrificial offering to God, alleluia.
Ant. 2 Jerusalem, city of God, you will shine with a radiant light, alleluia.
Canticle: Tobit 13:8-11, 13-15
Thanksgiving for the people’s deliverance
Let all men speak of the Lord’s majesty, *
and sing his praises in Jerusalem.
O Jerusalem, holy city, †
he scourged you for the works of your hands, *
but will again pity the children of the righteous.
Praise the Lord for his goodness, †
and bless the King of the ages, *
so that his tent may be rebuilt in you with joy.
May he gladden within you all who were captives; †
all who were ravaged may he cherish within you *
for all generations to come.
A bright light will shine to all parts of the earth; †
many nations shall come to you from afar, *
and the inhabitants of all the limits of the earth,
drawn to you by the name of the Lord God, *
bearing in their hands their gifts for the King of heaven.
Every generation shall give joyful praise in you, †
and shall call you the chosen one, *
through all ages forever.
Go, then, rejoice over the children of the righteous, †
who shall all be gathered together *
and shall bless the Lord of the ages.
Happy are those who love you, *
and happy those who rejoice in your prosperity.
Happy are the men who shall grieve over you, *
over all your chastisements,
for they shall rejoice in you *
as they behold all your joy forever.
My spirit blesses the Lord, the great King.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. Jerusalem, city of God, you will shine with a radiant light, alleluia.
Ant. 3 I saw the new Jerusalem, coming down from heaven, alleluia.
Psalm 147:12-20
The restoration of Jerusalem
O praise the Lord, Jerusalem! *
Zion, praise your God!
He has strengthened the bars of your gates, *
he has blessed the children within you.
He established peace on your borders, *
he feeds you with finest wheat.
He sends out his word to the earth *
and swiftly runs his command.
He showers down snow white as wool, *
he scatters hoar-frost like ashes.
He hurls down hailstones like crumbs. *
The waters are frozen at his touch;
he sends forth his word and it melts them: *
at the breath of his mouth the waters flow.
He makes his word known to Jacob, *
to Israel his laws and decrees.
He has not dealt thus with other nations; *
he has not taught them his decrees.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
Psalm Prayer
All-powerful God, it is through your Church, generously endowed with gifts of grace and fortified by the Holy Spirit, that you send out your word to all nations. Strengthen your Church with the best of all food and make it dauntless in faith. Multiply its children to celebrate with one accord the mysteries of your love at the altar on high.
Ant. I saw the new Jerusalem, coming down from heaven, alleluia.

1st Reading
Acts 13:26-33
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles
When Paul came to Antioch in Pisidia, he said in the synagogue:
“My brothers, children of the family of Abraham,
and those others among you who are God-fearing,
to us this word of salvation has been sent.
The inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders failed to recognize him,
and by condemning him they fulfilled the oracles of the prophets
that are read sabbath after sabbath.
For even though they found no grounds for a death sentence,
they asked Pilate to have him put to death,
and when they had accomplished all that was written about him,
they took him down from the tree and placed him in a tomb.
But God raised him from the dead,
and for many days he appeared to those
who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem.
These are now his witnesses before the people.
We ourselves are proclaiming this good news to you
that what God promised our fathers
he has brought to fulfillment for us, their children, by raising up Jesus,
as it is written in the second psalm,
You are my Son; this day I have begotten you.”
Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
℟. (7bc) You are my Son; this day I have begotten you.
or:
℟. Alleluia.
“I myself have set up my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
I will proclaim the decree of the LORD:
The LORD said to me, “You are my Son;
this day I have begotten you.”
℟. You are my Son; this day I have begotten you.
or:
℟. Alleluia.
“Ask of me and I will give you
the nations for an inheritance
and the ends of the earth for your possession.
You shall rule them with an iron rod;
you shall shatter them like an earthen dish.”
℟. You are my Son; this day I have begotten you.
or:
℟. Alleluia.
And now, O kings, give heed;
take warning, you rulers of the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice before him;
with trembling rejoice.
℟. You are my Son; this day I have begotten you.
or:
℟. Alleluia.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
I am the way, and the truth and the life, says the Lord;
no one comes to the Father except through me.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
Gospel
Jn 14:1-6
✠ A reading from the holy Gospel according to John
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You have faith in God; have faith also in me.
In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.
If there were not,
would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come back again and take you to myself,
so that where I am you also may be.
Where I am going you know the way.”
Thomas said to him,
“Master, we do not know where you are going;
how can we know the way?”
Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.”
At the end of the Gospel, the Deacon, or the Priest, acclaims:
The Gospel of the Lord.
All reply:
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Then he kisses the book, saying quietly:
Through the words of the Gospel
may our sins be wiped away.
Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ.
Nicene Creed
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of
the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified
under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right
hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the
Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son
is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in One, Holy,
Catholic and Apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to
the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

Ad te suspiramus,
gementes et flentes

Eia, ergo, advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos
ad nos converte.
Et Jesum, benedictum

O dulcis Virgo Maria.
Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix.
Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.
Oremus.
Omnipotens sempiterne Deus,
qui gloriosae Virginis Matris Mariae corpus et animam,
ut dignum Filii tui habitaculum effici mereretur,
Spiritu Sancto cooperante, praeparasti,
da, ut cuius commemoratione laetamur;

ab instantibus malis et a morte perpetua liberemur.
Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum.
Amen.
Consecration of Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
O Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, in this time of trial we turn to you.As our Mother, you love us and know us:
no concern of our hearts is hidden from you. Mother of mercy,
how often we have experienced your watchful care and
your peaceful presence! You never cease to
guide us to Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Yet we have strayed from that path of peace.
We have forgotten the lesson learned from the tragedies
of the last century,
the sacrifice of the millions who fell in two world wars.
We have disregarded the commitments we made as
a community of nations.
We have betrayed peoples’ dreams of peace and the hopes of the young.
We grew sick with greed,
we thought only of our own nations and their interests,
we grew indifferent and caught up in our selfish needs and concerns.
We chose to ignore God, to be satisfied with our illusions,
to grow arrogant and aggressive,
to suppress innocent lives and to stockpile weapons.
We stopped being our neighbour’s keepers and
stewards of our common home. We have ravaged the garden
of the earth with war and by our sins we have
broken the heart of our heavenly Father,
who desires us to be brothers and sisters.
We grew indifferent to everyone and everything except ourselves.
Now with shame we cry out:
Forgive us, Lord!
Holy Mother, amid the misery of our sinfulness,
amid our struggles and weaknesses,
amid the mystery of iniquity that is evil and war,
you remind us that God never abandons us,
but continues to look upon us with love,
ever ready to forgive us and raise us up to new life.
He has given you to us and made your
Immaculate Heart a refuge for the Church
and for all humanity.
By God’s gracious will, you are ever with us;
even in the most troubled moments of our history,
you are there to guide us with tender love.
We now turn to you and knock at the door of your heart.
We are your beloved children. In every age you make
yourself known to us, calling us to conversion.
At this dark hour, help us and grant us your comfort.
Say to us once more:
“Am I not here, I who am your Mother?”
You are able to untie the knots of our hearts
and of our times. In you we place our trust.
We are confident that, especially in moments of trial,
you will not be deaf to our supplication
and will come to our aid.
That is what you did at Cana in Galilee,
when you interceded with Jesus
and he worked the first of his signs.
To preserve the joy of the wedding feast,
you said to him:
“They have no wine” (Jn 2:3).
Now, O Mother, repeat those words
and that prayer, for in our own day
we have run out of the wine of hope,
joy has fled, fraternity has faded.
We have forgotten our humanity
and squandered the gift of peace.
We opened our hearts to violence
and destructiveness. How greatly
we need your maternal help!
Therefore, O Mother, hear our prayer.
Star of the Sea, do not let us
be shipwrecked in the tempest of war.
Ark of the New Covenant, inspire projects
and paths of reconciliation.
Queen of Heaven, restore God’s peace to the world.
Eliminate hatred and the thirst for revenge,
and teach us forgiveness.
Free us from war, protect our world
from the menace of nuclear weapons.
Queen of the Rosary, make us
realize our need to pray and to love.
Queen of the Human Family,
show people the path of fraternity.
Queen of Peace, obtain peace for our world.
O Mother, may your sorrowful plea stir
our hardened hearts.
May the tears you shed for us make this valley
parched by our hatred blossom anew.
Amid the thunder of weapons, may your prayer turn
our thoughts to peace.
May your maternal touch soothe those who
suffer and flee from the rain of bombs.
May your motherly embrace comfort those
forced to leave their homes and their native land.
May your Sorrowful Heart move us to compassion
and inspire us to open our doors and to care
for our brothers and sisters who are injured and cast aside.
Holy Mother of God, as you stood beneath
the cross, Jesus, seeing the disciple at your side,
said: “Behold your son” (Jn 19:26.)
In this way he entrusted each of us to you.
To the disciple, and to each of us, he said:
“Behold, your Mother” (v. 27).
Mother Mary, we now desire to welcome you into our lives and our history.
At this hour, a weary and distraught humanity stands with you beneath the cross, needing to entrust itself to you and, through you, to consecrate itself to Christ. The people of Ukraine and Russia, who venerate you with great love, now turn to you, even as your heart beats with compassion for them and for all those peoples decimated by war, hunger, injustice and poverty.
Therefore, Mother of God and our Mother,
to your Immaculate Heart we solemnly entrust
and consecrate ourselves, the Church and all humanity,
especially Russia and Ukraine.
Accept this act that we carry out with confidence and love.
Grant that war may end and peace spread throughout the world.
The “Fiat” that arose from your heart opened the
doors of history to the Prince of Peace.
We trust that, through your heart,
peace will dawn once more.
To you we consecrate the future of the
whole human family, the needs and expectations
of every people, the anxieties and hopes of the world.
Through your intercession, may God’s mercy
be poured out on the earth and the
gentle rhythm of peace return to mark our days.
Our Lady of the “Fiat,” on whom the Holy Spirit
descended, restore among us the harmony
that comes from God. May you, our
“living fountain of hope,”
water the dryness of our hearts.
In your womb Jesus took flesh;
help us to foster the growth of communion.
You once trod the streets of our world;
lead us now on the paths of peace. Amen.

Ant. I go now to prepare a place for you, but I shall return to take you with me, so that where I am you also may be, alleluia.
Canticle of Zechariah
Luke 1:68-79
The Messiah and his forerunner
Blessed + be the Lord, the God of Israel; *
he has come to his people and set them free.
He has raised up for us a mighty savior, *
born of the house of his servant David.
Through his holy prophets he promised of old †
that he would save us from our enemies, *
from the hands of all who hate us.
He promised to show mercy to our fathers *
and to remember his holy covenant.
This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham: *
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
free to worship him without fear, *
holy and righteous in his sight
all the days of our life.
You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; *
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
to give his people knowledge of salvation *
by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God *
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, *
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. I go now to prepare a place for you, but I shall return to take you with me, so that where I am you also may be, alleluia.
Dear Lady of Fatima,
we come on bended knee
to beg your intercession
for peace and unity.
Dear Mary, won’t you show us
the right and shining way?
We pledge our love and
offer you a rosary each day.
You promised at Fatima
each time that you appeared
to help us if we pray to you
to banish war and fear.
Dear Lady on first Saturday
we ask your guiding hand
for grace and guidance
here on earth and
protection for our land.
