Eclessiastes 3:1-8

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

a time to be born
and a time to die,

a time to plant
and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down
and a time to build,

a time to weep
and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn
and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones
and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time
to refrain from embracing,

a time to search
and a time to give up,

a time to keep and
a time to throw away,

a time to tear
and a time to mend,

a time to be silent
and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace.

Prayer of Sacrifice

Lord of the Holy Sacrifice, your saving oblation on the cross has given me new life. May I always recall your holy sacrifice on the cross and do it in remembrance of you. When tempted by selfishness, inspire me to be taken as an unworthy sacrifice. When burdened by envy, let me become an instrument of blessing for others. When afflicted by anger and pride, grant me the humility to be broken and given for others. When unsettled by anguish and troubled by worries, give me encouragement.

May your Spirit move my heart to see in your outstretched arms your loving embrace of everyone that I, too, may welcome others with the same love in an open hand. Teach my mind and direct my will to humbly endure the pain of undeserved suffering even when my intent was good and done what is right. May I understand that it is in the holy sacrifice of your wounds that my brokenness is healed. May I see in your sacrifice on the cross not only death and defeat but victory and life.

Loving Father, may the holy sacrifice of your Son cleanse my soul, strengthen my heart, pardon my past and restore me in your peace. May I always adore you by uniting myself in His holy sacrifice, the sacrament of your divine love. May I learn to sacrifice my own comfort, plans and dreams if it is not for your glory and the good of others.

With Mary, the mother of Jesus, who joined her heart with the sacrifice of her Son, may I become a holy sacrifice of love and service for others. Gathered around the altar of love, may all be united in listening to your word and sharing the one bread and cup and become one people, offering one holy sacrifice. Amen.
