Mass For Various Needs or Occasions

Entrance Antiphon (Mt 16: 18-19)
You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church,

and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.

To you I will give the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Collect
O God, who in your providential design

willed that your Church be built

upon blessed Peter, whom you set over the other Apostles,

look with favor, we pray, on N. our Pope

and grant that he, whom you have made Peter’s successor,

may be for your people a visible source and foundation

of unity in faith and of communion.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

God, for ever and ever.

Prayers Over the Offerings
Be pleased, we pray, O Lord,

with the offerings presented here

and govern with unfailing protection your holy Church,

together with N. our Pope,

whom you have chosen to be her shepherd.

Through Christ our Lord.

Communion Antiphon  (Jn 21: 15, 17)
Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?

Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.

Prayer after Communion
Having been made sharers at the heavenly table,

we humbly entreat you, Lord:

by the power of this mystery,

strengthen your Church in unity and charity

and, as you have entrusted your servant N. with the office of shepherd,

grant him always salvation and protection,

together with the flock entrusted to his care.

Through Christ our Lord.
