You are just, O Lord,
and your judgment is right;
treat your servant in accord with your merciful love.
In the name of the Father, 
and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
Dear Parishioners of the Holy Spirit and St Anthony’s,
and all the faithful from all over the world.
Today we would like to honour all fathers 
as we celebrate Father’s Day in Australia.
Let us pray for God’s many blessings for them.
Especially
we would like to remember those fathers
 who are suffering from Coronavirus at this moment.
May God grant them healing and good health.
Let us also pray for an eternal happiness
for all our dads who have already passed away.
Brothers and Sisters, let us acknowledge our sins
and so prepare ourselves 
to celebrate the sacred mysteries.
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.
Amen.
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people of good will.
We praise you, we bless you, 
we adore you, we glorify you,
we give you thanks for your great glory.
Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father.
Lord Jesus Christ, only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father.
You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One, 
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God, the Father.
Amen.
Let us pray.
O God, by whom we are 
redeemed and receive adoption,
look graciously upon 
your beloved sons and daughters,
that those who believe in Christ 
may receive true freedom
and an everlasting inheritance.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you 
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

For homily with English subtitles, please go to 
“Homily for 23rd Sunday in OT-A, 6 September 2020” 
and come back to finish this Mass.
Let us profess our 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,
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.
By his grace, Christ has gathered us in his name.
Our prayer will be
granted by our Father in heaven,
for we know
that Jesus is here, in our midst.
Let us pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray to the Lord:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Lord God, our Father,
grant the prayers of your people.
We join them to the intercession of Jesus in our midst
our brother, priest and king,
who lives and reigns forever and ever.
Amen.
Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for through Your goodness 
we have received the bread we offer You:
fruit of the earth and work of human hands,
it will become for us the bread of life.
Blessed be God for ever.
Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through 
Your goodness we have received the wine we offer You:
fruit of the vine and work of human hands, 
it will become our spiritual drink.
Blessed be God for ever.
Pray, Brothers and Sisters, that my sacrifice and yours, 
may be acceptable to God, 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 his holy Church.
O, God who give us the gift 
of true prayer and of peace,
graciously ground that, 
through this offering,
we may do fitting 
homage to your divine majesty
and, by partaking of the sacred mystery,
we may be faithfully united in might and heart.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
The Lord be with you. And with your spirit.
Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is truly right and just.
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of host.
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.
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 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.
We proclaim your Death, O Lord, 
and profess your Resurrection until you come again.
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 Peter, our bishop,
Terence, auxiliary bishop and all the clergy.
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 Blessed Joseph her spouse,
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 honour is yours, for ever and ever.
Amen.
At the Saviour's command 
and formed by divine teaching we dare to pray:
Our Father, who art in heaven, 
hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come;
thy will be done 
on earth as it is in heaven.
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 from evil.
Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil,
graciously grant peace in our days
that by the help of your mercy, 
we may be always free from sin
and safe from all distress,
as we await the blessed hope 
and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
For the kingdom, the power 
and the glory are yours now and for ever.
Lord Jesus Christ, who 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 for ever and ever.
Amen.
The peace of the Lord be with you always.
And with your spirit.
Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, 
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, 
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away 
the sins of the world, grant us peace.
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.
Lord, I am not worthy 
that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word 
and my soul shall be healed.
I am the light of the world, says the Lord;
whoever follows me will not walk in darkness,
but will have the light of life.
Spiritual Communion
Lord Jesus, present in the Eucharist,
I invite You to enter into my heart.
I thank You for Your love,
which You show me every day.
I praise You for Your mercy and compassion
revealed to me in the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
Once again, I choose You as my Lord and Saviour
in these difficult times.
Grant me the gift of peace
so that I can be a joyful witness
of Your presence in the world.
Amen.
Let us pray.
Grant that your faithful, O Lord,
whom you nourish and endow with life
through the food of your Word 
and heavenly Sacrament,
may so benefit from your beloved Son’s great gifts
that we may merit an eternal share in his life.
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.
My dear friends, let us remember today’s message 
about the necessity of loving corrections,
about the authority of our Church leaders
and about the authority given 
to all fathers over their children.
Happy Father’s Day to all dads!
May God bless you all and thank you for being
with me at this Mass once again.
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
May almighty God bless you, the Father, 
and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Go forth, the Mass is ended.
Thanks be to God.
