Profession of Faith

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,

(All bow during these two lines.)

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.

G e n e r a l I n t e r c e s s i o n s Response: Lord, hear our prayer.

Agnus Dei (1903-1986)

Celebrant: Behold the Lamb of God,

behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

Assembly: Lord, I am not worthy

that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word
and my soul shall be healed.
 An Act of S p i r i t ua l C o m m u n i o n

My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

(Choir) Draw Us in the Spirit’s Tether Harold Friedell
(1905-1956)

Draw us in the Spirit’s tether, For when humbly in thy name,

Two or three are met together, Thou art in the midst of them;
Alleluia! Alleluia! Touch we now thy garment’s hem.

As the brethren used to gather In the name of Christ to sup,

Then with thanks to God the Father Break the bread and bless the cup,
Alleluia! Alleluia! So knit thou our friendship up.

All our meals and all our living Make as sacraments of thee,
That by caring, helping, giving, We may true disciples be.
Alleluia! Alleluia! We will serve thee faithfully.

(Text: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936)

100 TH A NNI VERSARY
OF THE PLACING OF THE FOU NDATION STONE
OF THE BASILICA OF THE NATIONAL SHRI NE
OF THE IMMACULATE CON CEPTION

For the period of the Jubilee, September 23, 2020-September 23, 2021, the Holy Father, Pope
Francis has granted a Plenary Indulgence (remission of temporal punishment due to sin) to the
truly penitent members of the faithful who fulfill the usual conditions (sacramental Confession,
Eucharistic Communion, prayers for the Holy Father’s intentions), if they undertake a sacred
pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and there devoutly
participate in the Jubilee rites, or will at least devote a considerable period of time in pious reflection
and prayer on the Christian vocation, for the increase of priestly and religious vocations, and for
the defense of the institution of the human family, having poured out their humble prayers to
God, concluding with the Lord’s Prayer, the Creed, and invocations to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Those pious faithful, the elderly, the infirm, or those impeded by some other serious reason, are
equally able to obtain the Plenary Indulgence if, having detestation of sin and the intention of
being there, as it is permitted above, fulfilling the three usual conditions, during the anniversary
celebrations, in the presence of an image of the heavenly Patroness, they spiritually join themselves,
offering their prayers, sorrows, and difficulties of their own life to the merciful God through Mary.
