INTRODUCTORY PRAYER

Heavenly Father, today is a very significant occasion for

all of us gathered here in Your presence. We humbly offer
this solemn mass, to thank You for giving us the courage and
perseverance to tackle all those difficult and challenging years
of study.

We praise and thank You O Lord, for being with us through

the years toward the realization of our goals. We implore
You, Lord, to let the Holy Spirit come upon us and open our
hearts and minds, to accept our responsibilities with
dedication and dignity, so that we will become more effective
instruments of Your goodness.

Kindle in us a love strong enough to let us carry on the task

ahead, and face responsibilities of professional life with
whole-hearted commitment and joy. Help us realize that our
profession is also a vocation through which we glorify You.

Tomorrow, we will live a new life, for today is just the

beginning of that life. Be with us always. This we pray
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.

Glory and praise to our God
Who alone gives light to our days

We the daughters and sons of Him
Who built the valleys and plains
Praise the wonders our God has done
In every heart that sings

Like gold that’s tested in fire
Though the power of sin prevails
Our God is there to save

LITURGY OF THE WORD

FIRST READING Acts 4:8-12

A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles

Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said:

"Leaders of the people and elders:
If we are being examined today
about a good deed done to a cripple,
namely, by what means he was saved,
then all of you and all the people of Israel should know
that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean
whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead;
in his name this man stands before you healed.
He is the stone rejected by you, the builders,
which has become the cornerstone.
There is no salvation through anyone else,
nor is there any other name under heaven
given to the human race by which we are to be saved."

The word of the Lord.

People : Thanks be to God.

10
 RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 118:1, 8-9, 21-23, 26, 28,
29

Response:
The stone rejected by the builders has become the
cornerstone.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his mercy endures forever.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes. R.

I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me

and have been my savior.
The stone which the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
By the Lord has this been done;
it is wonderful in our eyes. R.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord;

we bless you from the house of the Lord.
I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me
and have been my savior.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his kindness endures forever. R.

 SECOND READING 1 JN 3:1-2

A Reading from the first letter of John

Beloved:
See what love the Father has bestowed on us
that we may be called the children of God.
Yet so we are.
The reason the world does not know us
is that it did not know him.
Beloved, we are God's children now;
what we shall be has not yet been revealed.
We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him,
for we shall see him as he is.

The word of the Lord.

(Please all stand to honor the Holy Gospel)

PRE-GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

VERSE BEFORE THE GOSPEL

Alleluia, alleluia. I am the good shepherd, says the

Lord; I know my sheep, and mine know me. Alleluia,
alleluia.
(Jn 10:14)

Celebrant : The Lord be with you.

People : And with your spirit.
Celebrant : A reading from the Holy Gospel according to
+ John.
People : Glory to You, O Lord.

GOSPEL John 10: 11-18

Jesus said: "I am the good shepherd. A good

shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired
man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are
not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the
sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and
scatters them. This is because he works for pay and
has no concern for the sheep. I am the good
shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just
as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and
I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other
13
 sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I
must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there
will be one flock, one shepherd.
This is why the Father loves me, because I lay
down my life in order to take it up again. No one
takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I
have power to lay it down, and power to take it up
again. This command I have received from my
Father."

Celebrant : The Gospel of the Lord

People : Praise to you, O Lord, Jesus Christ.

PREFACE III OF EASTER

Celebrant : The Lord be with you.

People : And with your spirit
Celebrant : Lift up your hearts.
People : We lift them up to the Lord.
Celebrant : Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God.
People : It is right and just.
Celebrant : It is truly right and just, our duty and our
salvation, at all times to acclaim you, o Lord,
but in this time above all to laud you yet more
gloriously, when Christ our Passover has been
sacrificed. He never ceases to offer himself for
us but defends us and ever pleads our cause
before you: he is the sacrificial Victim who dies
no more, the lamb, once slain, who lives for
ever. Therefore, overcome with paschal joy,
every land, every people exults in your praise
and even the heavenly Powers, with the angelic
hosts, sing together the unending hymn of
your glory, as they acclaim:

SANCTUS

20
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

CONSECRATION : Eucharistic Prayer II

You are indeed holy, o Lord, the fount of all holiness, make
holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your
spirit upon them like the dewfall, so that they may become
for us the Body and + Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his

Passion, he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it, and gave
it to his disciples, saying:

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY

BODY, WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.

In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice

and, once more giving thanks, he gave it to his
disciples, saying:

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT, FOR THIS IS

21
THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW
AND
ETERNAL COVENANT, WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR
YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.

Celebrant : The mystery of faith.

ACCLAMATION

We proclaim your death, O Lord

And profess you resurrection
Until you come again

Celebrant : Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of

his Death and Resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the Bread of
life and the Chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you have
held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you.

Humbly we pray that, partaking of the Body and Blood of

Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world,
and bring her to the fullness of charity, together with Francis
our Pope and Jose Palma our Bishop and all the clergy.

Remember your servant Potenciano Larrazabal, Jr., whom

you have called from this world to yourself. Grant that he
22
who was united with your Son in a death like his, may also be
one with him in his Resurrection.

Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen

asleep in the hope of the resurrection, and all who have died
in your mercy: welcome them into the light of your face.
Have mercy on us all, we pray, that with the Blessed Virgin
Mary, mother of God, with the blessed apostles, and all the
saints who have pleased you throughout the ages, we may
merit to be coheirs to eternal life, and may praise and glorify
you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Through Him, and with Him, and in Him, O God Almighty

Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is
Yours, Almighty Father, forever and ever.

People : Amen. (to be sung)

Celebrant: Let us pray with confidence to the Father in the
words our Savior gave us.

OUR FATHER

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on
Earth as it is in heaven.

23
Give us this day our daily bread, and
Forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass
Against us, and lead us not into
Temptation, but deliver us, deliver us
From evil.

Celebrant : Deliver us Lord from every evil and grant us

peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free
from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we
wait in joyful hope for the coming of our
Savior Jesus Christ.

DOXOLOGY
For the kingdom and the power and the
Glory are yours now and forever

Celebrant : Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your Apostles:

Peace I leave you, my peace I give you, look
not on our sins, but on the faith of your
Church, and graciously grant her peace and
unity in accordance with your will. Who live
and reign forever and ever
