THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

Sunday August 17, 2008

PARISH MASS - 1030

Collect:
Almighty God,
who chose the Blessed Virgin Mary
to be the mother of your Son:
grant that we who are redeemed by his blood
may share with her the glory of your kingdom. Amen

First Reading: Galatians 4.4-7
The remarkable intervention of God in humbling himself to become as one of us in Jesus is life changing. It altered the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary and changed history. How has it affected you?

Please respond to Psalm 5. 11-18 with the following:
Sing to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our king, sing praises.

PLEASE STAND for the Gospel Acclamation.
ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!
My soul magnifies the Lord:
my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!

Gospel: Luke 1.46-55
The Magnificat, sometimes known as the song of Mary, is recorded at that wonderful encounter between two pregnant women: the older Elizabeth and the young Mary. It praises God in a series of upsets: the natural order is overturned and the remarkable follows. How does that show in your life?

NEXT WEEK: BARTHOLOMEW THE APOSTLE
Acts 5.12-17; Psalm 145. 1-7; Luke 22. 24-30
