 THE EPISTLE

 

 The epistle is taken from the Gospel of Thomas Hidden Logia Two:       (Choose a scripture.)

 

Jesus said:

Let him who seeks not cease from seeking until he finds;

And when he finds, he will be turned around:

And when he is turned around he will marvel,

And he shall reign over the All.

 

Here ends the epistle.

 

ALL: Praise be to Thee Christ!

 

 READING OF THE PSALM

 

Psalm 139

 

Oh Lord, you have searched me and you know me.

You know when I sit and when I rise:

You perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying down:

You are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue,

You know it completely, O Lord.

You created my inner most Being.....

 

How precious to me are your thoughts, oh God!

How vast is the sum of them!

Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.

When I awake, I am still with you.

 

Search me, O God, and know my heart...

And lead me in the Way everlasting.

 

 THE GOSPEL

 

PR:  Let us enter the inner quiet more deeply and center ourselves in the Secret Place of the Most High as we prepare to listen to the Gospel reading.

 

The Holy Gospel was taken from St. John, Chapter 13, beginning with verse 34:

 

A new commandment I give you:  Love one another. As I have loved you, so... Love one another.. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.

 

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust also in Me. In My Father's House are many rooms... I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I Am. You know the way to the place where I am going....

 

I Am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you really knew Me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him....

 

This is the gospel proclaimed!

 

ALL: Praise be to Thee, Oh Christ!

 

PR:  Let us pause for reflection.

PR: Increase Thy wisdom in our hearts  +,  as we radiate Thy love via our lips  +,  that Thy power may be manifested in our awakening consciousness  +,  that we may see clearly the manifestation of Thy Life as All Life, through Christ our Lord.

 

ALL:  Amen.

 

 PRAYERS OF BLESSING

  

PR:  As the incense of our heart's desire rises before Thee, Oh Lord, may Thy Angels breathe forth Thy bountiful love and blessings on all present here and for those whose names we bring forward at this time.

     (Priest brings forth the names for whom this Mass is being offered, then invites others to do likewise.)

 

PR:  May we continually bless with our lives... As do the Angels of blessing.

 

ALL: May the Fire of Divine Love be channeled through us into the world.
