CONCLUDING MASS OF THE VISIT OF POPE FRANCIS

LITURGICAL NOTES
In the spirit of mercy and compas
sion, Pope Francis embarks on a
Pastoral Visit to the Philippines
with the mission of bringing the
compassion of Christ to those
who struggle to rise from the
devastation brought about by
natural calamities and man-made
upheavals.
The Pope, who comes to us as
a pastor, represents Christ, the
Good Shepherd who came to
seek and to save the lost (Lk
19:10). At the very heart of the
message that the Pope brings is
Christ who manifests his love and
affection for the Filipino people.
The apostolic visit re-echoes the
mission of the first apostles who
strengthened the disciples and
encouraged them to remain true
to their faith (Acts 14:22).
The visit of the Vicar of
Christ directs our attention to
Christ who desires mercy, not
sacrifice (Mt 9:13) and one
who calls not only the sinners
but those who are least, last, and
lost in our society. As the Holy
Father comes, we turn our gaze
to the cross, the Lord who is
gracious and compassionate
and bring about in us a spiritual
renewal and conversion of heart,
transformation as a nation, chal
lenging us, the Filipino people,
to live a life of missionary
witnessing, proclaiming to all
the world Gods mercy and
compassion.
The day of the Concluding Mass
of the Holy Fathers apostolic
visit is of Feast of the Santo Nio,
a proper feast in the Philippines.

Before the mass begins, devotees

from the Archdiocese of Cebu
lead the people in the Sinulog
rhythm and dance. All those who
will participate in the Mass will
be requested to bring their images
of the Sto. Nio.
The devotion to the Sto. Nio
(Holy Child) is the oldest and
one of the most popular in
the Philippines. When Miguel
Lopez de Legazpi landed on
the island of Cebu in 1565,
one of his soldiers found an
image of the Child Jesus. It is
believed to be the same statue
Magellan had given to the wife
of the local chieftain after her
baptism. The image is venerated
today in the Basilica in Cebu.
For Filipino Catholics the Holy
Child represents a God who
is accessible to all and can be
approached without fear. The
devotion instills the virtues of
simplicity, obedience, and trust in
God. At the same time it calls for
mature discipleship and loving
service to all (cf. Supplement to
the Roman Sacramentary for the
Dioceses in the Philippines).
The Liturgical Texts and other
Ritual Expressions
The formularies are taken from
the Votive Mass of the Holy
Name of Jesus and the readings
from the Proper of the Feast of the
Sto. Nio. The readings invite us
to encounter Jesus in living out
his own compassion and mercy
towards our brothers and sisters
in need and poverty, in suffering,
loneliness, in hopelessness.
Pope Francis himself said: To

meet the living God we must

tenderly kiss the wounds of Jesus
in our hungry people, in the sick,
and in imprisoned brothers and
sisters. Study, meditation, and
mortif ication are not enough
to have us encounter the living
Christ. Like the apostle Thomas,
our life will only be changed
when we touch Christs wounds
present in the poor, the sick,
and the needy. The path to our
encounter with Jesus is his
wounds. There is no other.
The Profession of Faith is
recited in the vernacular. The
intercessions of the Prayer of
the Faithful are prayed using the
different Filipino languages.
Acclamations are set in
music employing multi-lingual
responses.
At the beginning of the Eucha
ristic Prayer, children carrying
lighted torches, earthenware
vessels of incense and baskets
of flowers approach the altar
to serve as sentinels of the
Eucharist.
At the conclusion of the
Eucharistic celebration, candles
are lighted and the assembly sings
Tell the World of His Love as
the Holy Father sends them to
their families, communities, and
workplaces to be instruments of
Gods mercy and compassion.
The Liturgical Furnishings
The general shape of the altar
table, as seen in its elevation,
takes the image of hands lifted
up in prayer and offering. The
hands of the orante in Christian
art serves as inspiration. The top

The path to our encounter with Jesus is his

wounds. There is no other.

horizontal member of the table

seems to float in the air lifting up
the gifts of the Eucharist.
The base of the table with
its dynamic diagonal lines, is
covered by anahaw leaf (livistona
rotundifolia) as motif. Anahaw is
the Philippines national leaf.
This strong leaf with round and
zigzag edges is also used as
roof material for native houses.
Anahaw not only represents
the country but also the strong
and dynamic faith of its people.
The leaf, when seen in its half,
resembles the image of a wing,
connoting lightness of the spirit
and its flight.
The cross is inscribed in an orb
as a powerful Christian symbol
of Christ embracing the world.
It also represents the mission
of the Church to reach all the
ends of the earth to spread the
Gospel message. Doves are
representations of souls, the
object of the Churchs mission
of evangelization, the salus
animarum suprema lex.
The color copper, suggests a
transition metal with high thermal
and electrical property. This color
is used as accent to suggest the
warmth of the Gospel message
and the conductibility of faith,
meaning faith as the greatest
heritage of humanity for all
generations.
The lectern or ambo follows
the same motif as the altar table
giving the Liturgy of the Word,
the same weight as the Liturgy of
the Eucharist. The rosette, being
four in number, represents the
Evangelists.
The Musical Settings
With a multi-lingual Mass setting,
the text of the Mass of Mercy and
Compassion is based on the new
English translation of the Third
Edition of the Roman Missal
and the approved translations
of the Order of the Mass in seven
major Philippine languages.
The text predominantly employs
Tagalog, Sugbuanon (Cebuano)
and Ilocano, with selected verses
in Bicol, Capampangan,
Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), and
Waray, as well as in English,
Latin, and Spanish.

Because of the many languages

incorporated, an antiphonal mode
has been adopted. The simple and
singable multi-lingual refrains or
choruses are to be sung by the
entire congregation, while the
more complex verses in various
languages are to be sung by a
cantor or the choir.
Musically, this multi-lingual
Mass setting fuses both Western
music and Filipino indigenous
rhythms, such as the Kalinga
rhythm from the north and the
Singkil rhythm from the south,
and Filipino melodic and chord
patterns, such as the Kundiman
of Central Luzon.
The aim is to create a national
consciousness of unity despite
diverse cultural expressions and
to foster a sense of unity with the
universal Church.

LITURGY OF THE WORD
FIRST READING (Is 9, 1-6)
Pagbasa mula sa aklat ni
propeta Isaias
Nakatanaw ng isang malaking
liwanag ang bayang malaon
nang nasa kadiliman, namanaag
na ang liwanag sa mga taong
namumuhay sa lupaing balot
ng dilim. Iyong pinasigla
ang kanilang pagdiriwang,
dinagdagan mo ang kanilang
tuwa. Tulad ng mga tao sa
panahon ng anihan, tulad ng mga
taong naghahati ng nasamsam na
kayamanan.
Nilupig mo ang bansang
umalipin sa iyong bayan tulad ng
pagkalupig sa hukbo ng Madian.
Binali mo ang panghambalos
ng mga tagapagpahirap sa
kanila. Sapagkat ang panyapak
ng mga mandirigma, ang

lahat ng kasuutang tigmak sa

dugo ay susunugin. Sapagkat
ipinanganak para sa atin ang
isang sanggol na lalaki. Ibinigay
ang isang anak sa atin. At siya
ang mamamahala sa atin. Siya
ang Kahanga-hangang Tagapayo,
ang Makapangyarihang Diyos,
walang hanggang Ama, ang
Prinsipe ng Kapayapaan.
Malawak na kapangyarihan at
walang hanggang kapayapaan
ang ipagkakaloob sa trono ni
David at sa kanyang paghahari
upang matatag ito at papanatilihin
sa katarungan at katwiran ngayon
at magpakailanman. Isasagawa

Ang Salita ng Diyos.
People: Salamat sa Diyos.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
(Ps 97, 1. 2-3. 3. 4-6)
All the ends of the earth have
seen the saving power of God!
Sing to the Lord a new song, for
he has done wondrous deeds: his
right hand has won victory for
him, his holy arm. R.
The Lord has made his salvation
known; in the sight of the nations
he has revealed his justice. He
has remembered his kindness and
his faithfulness toward the house
of Israel. R.
All the ends of the earth have
seen the salvation by our God.
Sing joyfully to the Lord, all
you lands; break into song; sing
praise! R.
Sing praise to the Lord with
the harp, with the harp and
melodious song. With trumpets
and the sound of the horn, sing
joyfully before the King, the
Lord! R.
SECOND READING
(Ep 1, 3-6.15-18)
A reading from the letter of
Saint Paul to the Ephesians
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. Therefore, I, too,
hearing of your faith in the Lord
Jesus and of your love for all the
holy ones, do not cease giving
thanks for you, remembering you
in my prayers.
May the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
give you a Spirit of wisdom
and revelation resulting in
knowledge of him. May the eyes
of your hearts be enlightened,
that you may know what is the
hope that belongs to his call,
what are the riches of glory in
his inheritance among the holy
ones.
The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
ALLELUIA
Alleluia, alleluia! The Word
became flesh and made his
dwelling among us. Any who
did accept him, he empowered
to become children of God.
Alleluia, alleluia!
GOSPEL (Mk 10:13-16)
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with your spirit.
V. A reading from the Holy
Gospel according to Mark
R. Glory to you, O Lord.
People were bringing their little
children to Jesus that he might
touch them, but the disciples
rebuked them. When Jesus saw
this, he became indignant and
said to them: Let the children
come to me. Do not prevent
them, for the Kingdom of God
belongs to such as these. Amen,
I say to you, whoever does not
accept the kingdom of God like
a child will not enter it. Then
he embraced the children and
blessed them, placing his hands
on them.
The Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to you, Lord
Jesus Christ.

For on the feast of this awefilled mystery, though invisible

heavenly Kingdom.
And so, with all the Angels, we
praise you, as in joyful celebration
we acclaim:

He joins his hands and makes the

Jesus Christ,

COMMUNION

SIGN OF PEACE

The Holy Father genuflects, takes

the host and, holding it slightly
raised above the paten or above
the chalice, while facing the
people, says aloud:

Then the Holy Father, with hands

extended, says aloud:

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.
People: Lord, I am not worthy
that you should enter under my
roof, but only say the word and
my soul shall be healed.
While the Holy Father is
receiving the Body of Christ, the
Communion Chant begins.

PRAYER AFTER
COMMUNION
Holy Father:
Let us pray.
Pause for silent prayer.
Grant us in your mercy, O Lord,
we pray, that in these sacred

mysteries we may do worthy

homage to the Lord Jesus, for
it is your will that at his Name
every knee should bend and in
him all people find salvation.
Who lives and reigns for ever
and ever.
People: Amen.
WORDS OF GRATITUDE
The President of the Catholic
Bishops Conference of the
Philippines, His Excellency Most
Reverend Socrates B. Villegas
and the Archbishop of Manila,
His Eminence Luis Antonio G.
Cardinal Tagle, deliver their
Words of Gratitude.
CANDLE LIGHTING AND
MISSION SENDING
The candles held by the faithful
are lighted while the narration
is read.
Readers:
In the beginning, the universe
was dark and coldand the
Spirit hovered and brooded and
whispered Let there be life!...
Let there be light!
The Word was spoken and
light and life came into being!
God handed the light to human
beings and they handed the light
on to their children and their
children handed the light on to
their children.
The people who walked in
darkness have seen a great light
on those who lived in shadows
on them Gods light has shone.
In the dark of a stable in the
town of Bethlehem a new light
was given to the world: the one
who was there in the beginning
came into the world in him was
lifeand the life was the light of
peoples. The Word became flesh
and lived among us.
In the darkest hours just before
sunrise, darkness gave way to
a new dawn, an eternal dawn:
eternal light shone upon the
world.
The light became divided and
humans tried to possess it: to
claim it as their own. Yet the light
was not defeated.
The light passed on to those
who loved Gods Wordwho

translated itand placed it into

the hands of believers.
The light passed on to those
who sought to understand Gods
creationand explored its
wonders.
The light passed on to those
who saw the dignity of human
beings and fought to bring justice
to the poorfreedom to those
who were slaves.
The light waitsWho will keep
the light burning in our day? Who
will take the light into the world?
Who will carry the lightif
we do not? Who will carry the
lightif you do not?
Holy Father:
My dear brothers and sisters, we
received this light in baptism and
were entrusted to keep this light
burning brightly. We vowed to
spread this light when we were
confirmed. I ask you now: Keep
the flame of faith alive in your
hearts. Walk always as children
of the light. This is the mission of
every Christian: lumina pandere,
to spread the light and to tell the
world of Gods love.
The people raise their lighted
candles as the choir leads them
in singing Tell the World of His
Love.
CONCLUDING RITE
Holy Father: The Lord be with
you.
People: And with your spirit.
Holy Father: Blessed be the name
of the Lord.
People: Now and for ever.
Holy Father: Our help is in the
name of the Lord.
People: Who made heaven and
earth.
Holy Father:
May almighty God bless you,
the Father, and the Son, and
the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen.
DISMISSAL
Deacon: Go forth, the Mass is
ended.
People: Thanks be to God.
The final hymn is sung.
