Profession of Faith (The Nicene Creed)
"Our profession of faith begins with God, for God is the First and the Last, the beginning and the end of everything. The Credo begins with God the Father, for the Father is the first divine person of the Most Holy Trinity; our Creed begins with the creation of heaven and earth, for creation is the beginning and the foundation of all God's works."
---the Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 198
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,
(bow) 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.

Prayers of the Faithful
Response: Lord, hear our prayer.

Offertory Hymn: Prayer of St. Francis
Hazme un instruento de tu paz,
donde haya odio lleve yo tu amor,
donde haya injuria tu perdón, Señor,
donde haya duda, fe en ti.
Hazme un instruento de tu paz,
que lleve tu Esperanza por doquier,
donde haya oscuridad lleve tu luz,
donde haya pena tu gozo, Señor.
Maestro ayúdame a nunca buscar
ser consolado sino consolar,
ser entendido sino entender,
ser amado sino amar.
Haz me un instrument de tu paz,
es perdonando que nos das perdón,
es dando a todos que tú nos das,
y muriendo es que volvemos a nacier.
Make me a channel of your peace,
where there is hatred
let me bring your love.
Where there is injury
your pardon, Lord,
and where there’s doubt
true faith in you.
Make me a channel of your peace,
where there’s despair in life
let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness
only light,
and where there’s sadness
ever joy.
O Master, grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console,
to be understood, as to understand,
to be loved, as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace,
it is in pardoning, that we are pardoned.
In giving of ourselves that we receive,
and in dying
that we are born to eternal life.

Recessional: Tantum Ergo (In Latin)
Tantum ergo Sacraméntum
Venerémur cérnui:
Et antíquum documéntum
novo cedat rítui:
Praestet fides suppléntum
Sénsuum deféctui.
Genitóri, Genitóque
Laus et jubilátio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedíctio:
Procedénti abutróque
compar sit laudátio.
Down in adoration falling,
this great sacrament of we hail;
over ancient forms of worship
newer rites of grace prevail;
faith will tell us Christ is present,
when our human senses fail.
To the everlasting Father,
and the Son who made us free,
and the Spirit, God proceeding
from them each eternally,
be salvation, honor, blessing,
might and endless majesty.
Amen.
