Votive Mass

Entrance Antiphon (Jer 3: 15)
I will appoint over you shepherds after my own heart,

who will shepherd you wisely and prudently.

Collect
O God, who raised up your priest Saint Josemaría in the Church

to proclaim the universal call to holiness and the apostolate,

grant that by his intercession and example

we may, through our daily work,

be formed in the likeness of Jesus your Son

and serve the work of redemption with burning love.

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
Holy Father,

accept these gifts that we offer in memory of Saint Josemaría,

so that, through the sacrifice offered by Christ

on the altar of the Cross

and made present here in this sacrament,

you may graciously sanctify all that we do.

Through Christ our Lord.

Communion Antiphon (Acts 4: 12)
The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,

and to give his life as ransom for many.

Prayer after Communion

O Lord our God,

may the mysteries we have received

in this celebration of Saint Josemaría,

strengthen in us the spirit of adoption as your children,

so that, in faithful adherence to your will,

we may advance joyfully along the path of holiness.

Through Christ our Lord.
