God
of mercies, Your only Son, while hanging on the cross, appointed Mary, His
mother, to be our mother also. Like her, and under her loving care, may Your
church grow day to day, rejoice in the holiness of its children, and so attract
to itself all the peoples of the earth. We ask this through our Lord Jesus
Christ your Son who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God
forever and ever. Amen.
People: Amen.
LITURGY
OF THE WORD
First
Reading:
A
reading from the book of Genesis
After Adam had eaten of the tree the Lord God
called him, ‘Where are you?’ He asked. ‘I heard the sound of you in the
garden,’ he replied. ‘I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.’ ‘Who told
you that you were naked?’ He asked. ‘Have you been eating of the tree I forbade
you to eat?’ the man replied, ‘It was the woman you put with me; she gave me
the fruit, and I ate it.’ Then the Lord God asked the woman, ‘What is this you
have done?’ the woman replied, ‘The serpent tempted me and I ate.’
Then the Lord God said to the
serpent, ‘because you have done this, be a cursed beyond all cattle, all wild
beasts. You shall crawl on your belly and eat dust everyday of you life. I will
make you enemies of each other: you and the woman, your offspring and her
offspring. It will crush your head and you will strike its heel.’
The man named his wife ‘Eve’ because
she was the mother of all those who live
The word of the Lord.
People:
Thanks be to God.

According to John.
People:Glory to You O Lord.
Near the cross of Jesus stood his
mother and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary of Magdala.
Seeing His mother and the disciple He
loves standing near her, Jesus said to His mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’
Then to the disciple He said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that moment the
disciple made a place for her in his home.

Lord.

HOMILY FOLLOWS
THE CREED
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our
Lord,
He was conceived by the power of the Holy
Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of the
Father,
He will come again to judge the living and
the dead.
