HOLY HOUR
For the Clergy of Talibon
I. Entrance Rite
A. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
Opening Song: O SALUTARIS
O Salutaris Hostia Quae coeli pandis ostium. Bella premunt hostilia; Da robur fer auxilium.
Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria: Qui vitam sine termino, Nobis donet in patria. Amen.
(short pause of silence)
II. Liturgy of the Hours
B. Evening Prayer
(proper of the day ... up to concluding prayer only ... no dismissal)
III. Penitential Service
C. In Harmony with God and His Creation
Celebrant: Let us pray to our Father in heaven, for He is tender and merciful, patient and forgiving. (pause for short silence)
God our Father
and Lord of all creation, we come to you in sorrow for our sins and with trust in your mercy. Let it become true in us what we pray daily: Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. And if we still have a hard time to forgive, dispose us to imitate your love without boundaries. 2
Reconcile us with you, with one another
and with all of creation. We ask this through your Son and praise your holy name through Jesus Christ our Lord.
ALL : Amen.
Prayer for Sinners
Celebrant: Let us pray for all sinners,
for the sinners we are and for others, and ask our merciful Father to forgive us all:
(pause for short silence)
ALL : Heavenly Father,
you are kind and merciful, patient and full of compassion; we know that you do not want the sinner to die but to live and to serve you and people and to proclaim your leniency and forgiveness.
Convert our hearts,
bring us back to you and turn us to our brothers and sisters. Give us the mentality of Jesus and let his Spirit enlighten our minds, that we may be aware of the evil in and around us. Let Him make us strong in our determination to do away with all wrongs and to grow in love for one another and for you, our living God.
Father, forgive us all our sins
and help us to lift up one another too. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
ALL : Amen.
Examination of Conscience
Celebrant: Sin alienates us from God, from one another,
and even from God’s creation. We now ask the Spirit to enlighten us to make us aware of our share in evil. 3
(assistant minister in short pause every after question)
Minister : God provide for the birds in the sky and gives them their food in
due time. He looks after the flowers in the field. Do we have trust in his providence, that he cares also for us? Do we share in his solicitude for people and for nature?
Christ is the vine and we are the branches. Do we try our best to produce good fruits of honesty and integrity?
Do we thank the Lord for the service and the food that he lets plants and animals provide us with?
God has made all things good and entrusted them to our care. Have we used the forces of nature wisely and lovingly, for the well-being of ourselves and of others?
Do we treat well the animals the Lord has entrusted to us to lighten
our work or to be our companions?
Do we look upon our work as a mission of service to our families
and other people and as a form of cooperation and co-creation with God our creator?
Have we cooperated with the creative Spirit for the renewal of the face of the earth, not merely through technological progress, but especially through the promotion of justice, love and service?
Are we actively concerned that the earth’s goods, spiritual as well
as material, become accessible to all?
Do we share from our abundance, and at times even from our
need, with people who suffer from want? As followers of the crucified Lord, do we know how to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of others?
Do we try to live, as the gospel asks us, frugally and thriftily,
without wasting goods or money? Are we disposed to help others with that we save in this way?
Do we control our urge to have always more and more possessions
and power? Or do we show off what we have to impress others and to compete with them? 4
Celebrant: Brothers and sisters,
our Lord Jesus Christ calls us to be converted, that is, to turn our backs to sin and to turn to all tha is good. Let the Lord’s Spirit lead you back to the Lord, to people, to nature, bring you forgiveness, and give you the mentality of Christ.
Community Act of Sorrow
ALL : Lord, you treated people
and all of creation with infinite respect. Forgive us for not following your ways: Lord, have mercy.
Jesus Christ, our Lord,
you emptied yourself and accepted the cross. Forgive us when we show off and abuse our power: Christ, have mercy.
Lord, you rose from the dead
and lifted up those who had fallen. Forgive us when we refuse to love and serve: Lord, have mercy.
IV. Silent Reflection and Individual Confession & Absolution
(shortly after the above-mentioned activities)
D. Prayer of Praise and Thanksgiving
ALL : God our Father,
it was good for us to experiencing again your mercy and to know that you have forgive without regret and without afterthought. How patient you are with us! Help us to express our gratitude by making us shares in your infinite respect and love for all people and for the whole of your creation. Dispose us to look forward rather than to the past and to build up among us a hospitable world in which people can live together 5
as friends, as servants, as one covenent people
living in harmony with you, with one another, and will all of a good and beautiful creatioon which you have entrusted to us. We thank you, Lord God, for your mercy and count on your faithful love through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
V. Benediction
Tantum Ergo
Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui; Et Antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui; Praestet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui.
Genitori, Genitoque Laus et iubilatio; Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedictio: Procedenti ab utroque Compar sit laudatio. Amen.
Celebrant: Panem de coelo praestitisti eis. (Alleluia).
ALL : Omne delectamentum in se habentem. (Alleluia).
Celebrant: Oremus. Deus, qui nobis sub sacramento mirabili, passionis tuae memoriam reliquisti: tribue, quaesumus, ita nos corporis et sanguinis tui sacra mysteria venerari, ut redemptionis tuae fructum in nobis iugiter sentiamus. Qui vivis et regnas in saecula saeculorum.
ALL : Amen.
