All are welcome. Two new members will be formally admitted to the St Clement’s branch of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament at St Michael’s by Fr David Hastings.

The Propers.

INTROIT. Mihi autem. Ps. 139.  RIGHT dear are thy friends unto me, O God, and held in highest honour: their rule and governance is exceeding steadfast. Ps. ibid. Lord, thou hast searched me out and known me: thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising. V. Glory be.

O ALMIGHTY God, who hast built thy Church upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the head corner-stone; Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their doctrine, that we may be made an holy temple acceptable unto thee; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

GRADUAL. Ps. 45. Thou shalt make them princes in all lands: they shall remember thy Name, O Lord. V. Instead of thy fathers thou shalt have children: therefore shall the people give thanks unto thee.

Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 139. Right dear are thy friends unto me, O God, and held in highest honour: their rule and governance is exceeding steadfast. Alleluia.

OFFERTORY. Ps. 19. Their sound is gone out into all lands: and their words into the ends of the world.

COMMUNION. St. Matt. 19.28. Ye which have followed me shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

O LORD, who hast vouchsafed to feed us with these holy sacraments: we humbly pray thee; that, at the intercession of thy holy Apostles Simon and Jude, the mysteries which we have offered in remembrance of their glorious passion may be profitable unto us for the healing of our souls; through Our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ.Amen.
