Just think of the Virgin Mary,
All our burdens she helps carry
Each time you ask her, you know that she´ll tell
Our Lord about your needs.
Fold your hands together,
And tell her she´s a friend forever,
Tell her with a smile and all your heart
That each day you will love her more
There´s no one who could ever replace her
There´s no one like her.
God that it thought our from eternity
How he would like to have his mother be
A soul full of grace that kept her purity,
No one can beat her generosity.
In her arms you need never be afraid,
And as you grow up by your side she´ll stay
A mother whose love for you will never fade
In good times and bad time faithful she remained
Your example day by day.
Just think of the Virgin Mary…

presiding over today’s Mass and we pray for him to continue working
as he has done.

♪JUST THINK OF THE VIRGIN MARY♪
When you are alone and feeling down,
When you can´t help but show the world a frown,
When you feel sad and there´s no one around,
And you need someone who can understand.
No need to worry because you can confide,
In someone who´s always standing by your side
Someone who listens to your every sigh,
Just close your eyes and open up your heart
With a simple prayer.

gift the heavenly teaching you give us. Through our Lord Jesus
Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
All: Amen
THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading HOS 14:2-10
Thus says the LORD: Return, O Israel, to the LORD, your God;
you have collapsed through your guilt. Take with you words, and
return to the LORD; Say to him, "Forgive all iniquity, and receive
what is good, that we may render as offerings the bullocks from our
stalls. Assyria will not save us, nor shall we have horses to mount;
We shall say no more, 'Our god,' to the work of our hands; for in
you the orphan finds compassion."
I will heal their defection, says the LORD, I will love them freely; for
my wrath is turned away from them. I will be like the dew for Israel:
he shall blossom like the lily; He shall strike root like the Lebanon
cedar, and put forth his shoots. His splendor shall be like the olive
tree and his fragrance like the Lebanon cedar. Again they shall
dwell in his shade and raise grain; They shall blossom like the vine,
and his fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
Ephraim! What more has he to do with idols? I have humbled him,
but I will prosper him. "I am like a verdant cypress tree"– Because
of me you bear fruit!
Let him who is wise understand these things; let him who is prudent
know them. Straight are the paths of the LORD, in them the just
walk, but sinners stumble in them.
Reader: The word of the Lord
All: Thanks be to God.

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

forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
