“How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds”
“1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer’s ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away our fear.”
We Practice the Order of the Mass
The Act of Penitence
“Have mercy on us, O Lord. / For we have sinned against you.
Show us, O Lord, your mercy. / And grant us your salvation”
“May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life” (Priest’s concluding
prayer, nos. 4-6).
The Confiteor
“I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done
and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault,
through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.”
From: Brian W. MacMichael “The New Translation of the Holy Mass: The Confiteor”

Christ, have mercy. / Christ, have mercy.

The Reconciliation cards were designed by Kim N. Buckley.
