Entrance Antiphon [ Lk 4:18 ]
The Spirit of God is upon me; he has anointed me. He sent me to bring good news to the poor; to heal the broken-hearted.

Collect
God, our Father, you endowed Blessed Didacus with the knowledge of the saints and wonderfully guided him in his labors for the salvation of his people. Through his intercession grant us to relish what is right and good, and to preach to all nations the unfathomable riches of Christ. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Prayer over the Offerings
Lord, give to us who offer these gifts at your altar the same spirit of love that filled Blessed Didacus that we may celebrate this sacred Eucharist with pure minds and loving hearts. Grant this through Christ our Lord.

Communion Antiphon [ 1 Cor 1:23-24 ]
We preach a Christ who was crucified; he is the power and the wisdom of God.

Prayer after Communion
Lord, may this heavenly banquet renew us that we may ever be inflamed in your presence with devout and holy love. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
