10th BACCALAUREATE MASS

CALL TO WORSHIP

Commentator:

Today is a very special day for the young women and men gathered here this afternoon
together with their parents, teachers and friends. Graduation rites always makes us remember
God’s blessing over the years, not only the past 3 or 6 years spent at the Thrice Admirable
Montessori School, but all the many years of caring and nurturing which members of families do
for one another. So, it is a time of remembering. It is a time of expressing gratitude and love.
It is a time of appreciation for those who have taught us how to live. So, with joy, we join
the graduates today who have come to proclaim the goodness and kindness of our God.

OPENING SONG:
Sing a New Song unto the Lord
(Chorus)

Sing a new song unto the Lord;

Let your song be sung from mountains high
Sing a new song unto the Lord
Singing alleluia

Yahweh's people dance for joy

O come before the Lord
And play for him on glad tambourines
And let your trumpet sound
(Chorus)

Rise, O children, from your sleep;

Your Savior now has come
He has turned your sorrow to joy
And filled your soul with song
(Chorus)

Glad my soul for I have seen

The glory of the Lord
The trumpet sounds; the dead shall be raised
I know my Savior lives
(Chorus)

We turn to God and trust in his forgiving love.
All: 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 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.

you deliver me from violent men.
OPENING PRAYER:
Presider: Let us pray. Lord, God, we gather this day to proclaim your love and care which
has touched us all: students, teachers, parents and all those who have journeyed
with our graduates the past years. We praise and thank you for your fidelity. We
praise and thank you for your steadfast and forgiving love. We stand before you

with others. And so, as we ask you to bless this moment of thanksgiving. We also
pray that you hear the prayers of your repentant children who call on you in love.
Enlighten our minds and sanctify our hearts. We ask this through our Lord Jesus
Christ, your Son who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God,

FIRST READING:
A reading from Jeremiah 7:23-28
Thus says the LORD: This is what I commanded my people: Listen to my
voice; then I will be your God and you shall be my people. Walk in all the ways
that I command you, so that you may prosper:
But they obeyed not, nor did they pay heed. They walked in the hardness
of their evil hearts and turned their backs, not their faces, to me. From the day that
your fathers left the land of Egypt even to this day, I have sent you untiringly all
my servants the prophets. Yet they have not obeyed me nor paid heed; they have
stiffened their necks and done worse than their fathers. When you speak all these
words to them, they will not listen to them either; when you call to them: they will
not answer you. Say to them: This is the nation that does not listen to the voice of
the Lord, its God, or take correction. Faithfulness has disappeared; the word itself
is banished from their speech.
This is the word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM:
R. Kon karon makadungog kamo sa iyang tingog, ayaw patig-aha ang inyong
mga kasingkasing.
 Umari kamo, awitan ta nga malipayon ang Ginoo;/isangyaw ta ang Bato sa atong
kaluwasan. Yukboan ta siya uban sa pasalamat; awitan ta siya nga malipayon og
mga salmo.
R. Kon karon makadungog kamo sa iyang tingog, ayaw patig-aha ang inyong
mga kasingkasing.
Umari,kamo, manghapa kita sa pagsimba; mangluhod kita atubangan sa Ginoo
nga nagbuhat kanato. Kay siya mao ang atong Dios, ug kita ang katawhan nga
iyang gidumala, ang panon nga iyang gaitultolan.
R. Kon karon makadungog kamo sa iyang tingog, ayaw patig-aha ang inyong
mga kasingkasing.
Hinaut unta nga karon mamati kamo sa iyang tingog “Ayaw patig-aha ang inyong
mgakasingkasing sama didto sa Meriba, sama sa adlaw ni Massah didto sa
kamingawan. Diin gisulayan ako sa inyong mga katingulahan ako sa inyong mga
katigulangan;ila akong gisuta bisan nakakita sila sa akong mga buhat

GOSPEL:
Presider: The Lord be with you
All: And with your spirit.
Presider: A reading from the Holy Gospel according
All: Glory to You, O Lord
HOMILY
Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute, and when the demon had gone out, the
mute person spoke and the crowds were amazed. Some of them said, “ By the power of
Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons.” Others, to test him, asked him for a
sign from heaven. But he knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against
itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house. And if Satan is divided against himself,
how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons. If I then,
drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own people drive them out? Therefore they
will be your judges. But if it is by the finger of God that I drive out demons, then the Kingdom of
God has come upon you. When a strong man fully armed guards his place, his possession are
safe. But when one stronger that he attacks and overcomes him, he takes away the armor on
which he relied and distributes the spoils. Whoever is not which me is against me, and whoever
does not gather with me scatters.”
Profession of Faith
All: I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus
Christ, his only son, our Lord. Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, Virgin
Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He
descended into hell, on the third day he rose again from dead; he ascended into
heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the father almighty; from there he
will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy
Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. AMEN.
PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL:
Presider: Let us humbly present our petitions before our Lord, always remembering the

heaven and earth are filled with your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.

Presider: 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 & 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 it. 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:

you, Lord the Bread of life and 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_____________, our Pope and Jose, our Bishop

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
