Votive Mass

Entrance Antiphon (Cf. Lk 4: 18)
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
he has sent me to preach the good news to the poor, says the Lord.

Collect
O God, who sanctify your universal Church
in every people and nation,
pour out, we pray, the gifts of your Spirit
across the face of the earth,
so that your divine grace, which was at work
when the Gospel was first proclaimed,
may now spread through the hearts of those who believe in you.
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
May the fire of the Spirit, O Lord,
sanctify the sacrificial gifts offered in your sight,
just as it enkindled the hearts of the disciples of your Son.
who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Communion Antiphon (Cf. Ps 104 (103): 30)
Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created,
and you shall renew the face of the earth.

Prayer after Communion

May these gifts we have consumed
benefit us, O Lord,
that we may always be aflame with the same Spirit
whom you wondrously poured out on your Apostles.
Through Christ our Lord.
