the death of your son which you foresaw so through her intercession we may be cleansed and admitted to your presence as we ask this through christ our lord a reading from the book of genesis after the man adam had eaten of the tree the lord god called to the man and asked him where are you he answered i heard you in the garden but i was afraid because i was naked so i hid myself then he asked who told you that you were naked you have eaten then from the tree of which i had forbidden you to eat the man replied the woman whom you put here with me she gave me fruit from the tree and so i ate it the lord god then asked the woman why did you do such a thing the woman answered the serpent tricked me into it so i ate it then the lord god said to the serpent because you have done this you shall be banned from all the animals and from all the wild creatures on your belly shall you crawl and dirt shall you eat all the days of your life i will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and hers he will strike at your head while you strike at his heel the man called his wife eve because she became the mother of all the living the word of the lord sing to the lord a new song for he has done marvelous deeds sing to the lord on for he has done marvelous deeds sing to the lord for he has done wondrous deeds his right hand has won victory for him his holy [Music] the lord has made his salvation known in the sight of the nations revealed his justice he has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of israel sing to the lord on a song for he has done marvelous deeds all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our god [Music] sing joyfully to the lord all you lost break into song and sing praise [Music] to the lord our new song foreign [Music] a reading from saint paul to the ephesians brothers and sisters blessed be the god and father of our lord jesus christ who has blessed us in christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before him in love he destined us for adoption to himself through jesus christ in accord with the favor of his will for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved in him we were also chosen destined in accord with the purpose of the one who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will so that we might exist for the praise of his glory we who first hoped in christ the word of the lord oh mary full of grace the lord [Music] oh [Music] the lord be with you a reading from the holy gospel according to luke the angel gabriel was sent from god to a town of galilee called nazareth to a virgin betrothed to a man named joseph of the house of david and the virgin's name was mary coming to her he said hail full of grace the lord is with you but she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be then the angel said to her do not be afraid mary for you have found favor with god behold you will conceive in your womb and bear a son and you shall name him jesus he will be great and will be called son of the most high and the lord god will give him the throne of david his father and he will rule over the house of jacob forever and of his kingdom there will be no end but mary said to the angel how can this be since i have no relations with a man the angel said to her in reply the holy spirit will come upon you and the power of the most high will overshadow you therefore the child to be born will be called holy the son of god and behold elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren for nothing will be impossible for god mary said behold i am the handmaid of the lord may it be done to me in accord with your word then the angel departed from her the gospel of the lord in the first reading we heard a story about a family but it isn't just any family it's our family our human family and the story is sad because our very first parents our ancestors had it made they had everything they lived in what they called paradise and then they disobeyed god they allowed the tempter to convince them to sin rather than obey god and it all began to fall apart and as you read the narrative as you hear that narrative you think how sad that poor family it's over over but at the very end of that narrative it says and she eve became the mother of all the living oh the family still goes on the family didn't end it continued so in that story there's that glimmer of hope that small flame of hope and that was handed on generation to generation to generation until you get to the gospel and there's a woman in that family who is praying and she's holding on to that small flame of hope that god is going to send someone who is going to make such a difference in our lives that woman was married and she took that small glimmer of hope and she made it into a blazing fire of hope how because of faith she knew deep in her heart that that faith could take flame only if she said yes and she did she had faith in god enough to make that hope become a full flame in the lives of so many others that's one of the reasons why we honor the blessed virgin mary today but she's also our example there are times in our lives when we're tempted to feel there's not much hope there's a lot of things that are challenging in our lives a lot of things that are difficult and sometimes we're tempted to lose hope but the blessed mother says to every one of us today but if you have faith your faith will make your your hope the amazing fire in your life faith makes the difference and that's why we celebrate her memory at this banquet in this church because we have faith in what happens here and that faith should give us incredible hope please stand with faith and with confidence we come before the lord with our needs for all the members of the church that we like mary may grow ever more faithful in our discipleship and ever stronger in our faith we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer for those who govern nations that they will work to enact laws that protect the sanctity and the dignity of all human life we pray to the lord for this faith community that we might have the grace to answer god's call with mary's generosity let us pray to the lord for those who have died may they come to share in the fullness of christ's glory we pray to the lord for the parish intention for this mass which is for wesley the cohen jr we pray to the lord and for our own personal intentions we pray to the lord lord god we give you thanks for the example of the blessed virgin mary help us to grow in faith that we might have much hope as we ask this through christ our lord [Music] my soul rejoices in god my savior my spirit finds its joy in god the living god my soul proclaims your mighty deeds my spirit sings the greatness of your name my soul rejoices [Music] my spirit finds its joy in god the living let us pray that our sacrifice may be acceptable to god who is the almighty father may the lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name for our good and the good of all his holy church oh lord graciously accept the saving sacrifice which we offer on this the solemnity of the immaculate conception of the virgin mary and granted as we profess her on account of your grace to be untouched by any stain of sin so that through her intercession we may be delivered from all our faults through christ our lord

proclaim your glory as with joy we acclaim [Music] oh [Music] [Laughter] [Music] are full of your glory in the highest blessed is he what comes in the name of the lord [Music] 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 gave it to his disciples saying take this all of you and drink from it for this is 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 the mystery of faith [Music] is [Music] 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 bring
