GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory!

Christ was humbler yet, even to accepting death, death on a cross.
But God raised him high and gave him the name which is above all names.

Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory!

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke 22:14 – 23:56

N When the hour came he took his place at table,

and the apostles with him. And he said to them,
J I have longed to eat this passover with you before

I suffer; because, I tell you, I shall not eat it again
until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
N Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said,
J Take this and share it among you, because from now on,

I tell you, I shall not drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.
N Then he took some bread, and when he had given

thanks, broke it and gave it to them, saying,
J This is my body which will be given for you;

do this as a memorial of me.
N He did the same with the cup after supper, and said,
J This cup is the new covenant in my blood which will be poured out for you.
And yet, here with me on the table is the hand of the man who betrays me.
The Son of Man does indeed go to his fate even as it has been decreed,

but alas for that man by whom he is betrayed!
N And they began to ask one another which of them it could be who was to do this thing.
A dispute arose also between them about which should be reckoned the greatest, but he said to them,
J Among pagans it is the kings who lord it over them, and those

who have authority over them are given the title Benefactor.
This must not happen with you. No; the greatest among

you must behave as if he were the youngest,
the leader as if he were the one who serves.

For who is the greater: the one at table or the one who serves?
The one at table, surely? Yet here am I among you as one who serves! ‘
You are the men who have stood by me faithfully

in my trials; and now I confer a kingdom on you,
just as my Father conferred one on me: you will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom,
and you will sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
Simon, Simon! Satan, you must know, has got his wish to

sift you all like wheat; but I have prayed for you, Simon,
that your faith may not fail, and once you have recovered,

you in your turn must strengthen your brothers.
N He answered, O Lord, I would be ready to go to prison with you, and to death.
J Jesus replied, ‘I tell you, Peter, by the time the cock

crows today you will have denied three times that you know me
N He said to them,
J When I sent you out without purse or haversack or sandals, were you short of anything?
N They answered
C. No
N He said to them,
J But now if you have a purse, take it; if you have a haversack, do the same;

if you have no sword, sell your cloak and buy one,
because I tell you these words of scripture have to be fulfilled in me:

He let himself be taken for a criminal.
Yes, what scripture says about me is even now reaching its fulfilment.
N. They said
C   There are two swords here now.
N   He said to them,
J    That is enough!
N He then left to make his way as usual to the

Mount of Olives, with the disciples following.
When they reached the place he said to them,
J Pray not to be put to the test.
N Then he withdrew from them, about a stone’s throw away,

and knelt down and prayed saying,
J Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me.

Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.
N. Then an angel appeared to him, coming from heaven to give

him strength. In his anguish he prayed even more earnestly,
and his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood.

When he rose from prayer he went to the disciples
and found them sleeping for sheer grief. He said to them.
J Why are you asleep? Get up and pray not to be put to the test.
N He was still speaking when a number of men appeared,

and at the head of them the man called Judas,
one of the Twelve, who went up to Jesus to kiss him. Jesus said,
J Judas, are you betraying the son of Man with a kiss?
N His followers, seeing what was happening, said,
C Lord, shall we use our swords?
N And one of them struck out at the high priest’s servant

, and cut off his right ear. But at this Jesus spoke.
J Leave off! That will do!
N And touching the man’s ear he healed him. Then Jesus

spoke to the chief priests and captains of the Temple guard
and elders who had come for him. He said.
J Am I a brigand that you had to set out with swords and clubs?

When I was among you in the Temple day after day
you never moved to lay hands on me. But this is your hour; this is the reign of darkness.
N They seized him then and led him away, and they took him

to the high priest’s house. Peter followed at a distance.
They had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and Peter sat down among them,
and as he was sitting there by the blaze a servant-girl saw him, peered at him, and said,
O  This person was with him too.
N But he denied it saying
O  Woman, I do not know him.
N  Shortly afterwards someone else saw him and said,
O You are another of them.
N But Peter replied,
O I am not, my friend.
N About an hour later another man insisted, saying,
O This fellow was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean.
N Peter said,
O  My friend, I do not know what you are talking about.
N At that instant, while he was still speaking, the cock crew, and the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter,
and Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him, ‘Before the cock crows today, you will have disowned me three times’.
And he went outside and wept bitterly. Meanwhile the men who guarded Jesus were mocking and beating him.
They blindfolded him and questioned him saying,
C Play the prophet Who hit you then?
N And they continued heaping insults on him.
When day broke there was a meeting of the elders of the people, attended by the chief priests and scribes.
He was brought before their council, and they said to him, If you are the Christ, tell us.
N  He replied
C If I tell you, you will not believe me, and if I question you, you will not answer.
But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the Power of God.
N Then they all said,
C So you are the Son of God then?
J He answered, It is you who say I am.
N They said,
C  What need of witnesses have we now?

We have heard it for ourselves from his own lips.
N The whole assembly then rose, and they brought him before Pilate.

They began their accusation by saying,
C We found this man inciting our people to revolt, opposing payment of

the tribute to Caesar, and claiming to be Christ, a king’.
N Pilate put to him this question,
O Are you the king of the Jews?
N He replied.
J It is you who say it.
N Pilate then said to the chief priests and the crowd,
O I find no case against this man.
N But they persisted,
C He is inflaming the people with his teaching all over Judaea;

it has come all the way from Galilee, where he started, down to here’.
N When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man were a Galilean;

and finding that he came under Herod’s jurisdiction he passed him

over to Herod who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
Herod was delighted to see Jesus; he had heard about him and

had been wanting for a long time to set eyes on him; moreover,

he was hoping to see some miracle worked by him. So he questioned him at

some length; but without getting any reply Meanwhile the chief priests

and the scribes were there, violently pressing their accusations. Then Herod,

together with his guards, treated him with contempt and made fun of him;

he put a rich cloak on him and sent him back to Pilate. And though

Herod and Pilate had been enemies before, they were reconciled that same day.

Pilate then summoned the chief priests and the leading men and the people. He said
O You brought this man before me as a political agitator. Now I have

gone into the matter myself in your presence and found no case against the

man in respect of all the charges you bring against him.

Nor has Herod either, since is he has sent him back to us.

As you can see, the man has done nothing that deserves death,

So I shall have him flogged and then let him go.
N But as one man they howled,
C. Away with him! Give us Barabbas!
N This man had been thrown into prison for causing a riot in the city and for murder.
Pilate was anxious to set Jesus free and addressed them again, but they shouted back,
C Crucify him! Crucify him!
N And for the third time he spoke to them,
O Why? What harm has this man done? I have found no case against him

that deserves death, so I shall have him punished and then let him go.
N But they kept on shouting at the top of their voices, demanding

that he should be crucified. And their shouts were growing louder.

Pilate then gave his verdict: their demand was to be granted.
He released the man they asked for, who had been imprisoned for rioting

and murder, and handed Jesus over to them to deal with as they pleased.
As they were leading him away they seized on a man, Simon from Cyrene,

who was coming in from the country, and made him shoulder the cross

and carry it behind Jesus. Large numbers of people followed him,

and of women too[*b], who mourned and lamented for him. But Jesus turned to them and said,
J Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep rather for yourselves

and for your children. For the days will surely come when people will say,

Happy are those who are barren, the wombs that have never borne,

the breasts that have never suckled!” Then they will begin to say to the mountains,

Fall on us!; to the hills, Cover us For if men use the green wood like this, what will happen when it is dry?
N Now with him they were also leading out two other criminals to be executed.

When they reached the place called The Skull, they crucified him

there and the two criminals also, one on the right, the other on the left. Jesus said,
J Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.
N Then they cast lots to share out his clothing. The people stayed there

watching him. As for the leaders, they jeered at him.
C He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.
N The soldiers mocked him too, and when they approached to offer vinegar they said,
C If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself’.
N Above him there was an inscription: ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
N One of the criminals hanging there abused him saying,
O Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us as well.
N But the other spoke up and rebuked him.
O Have you no fear of God at all? You got the same sentence as he did,

but in our case we deserved it: we are paying for what we did.

But this man has done nothing wrong. Jesus, ‘remember me when you come into your kingdom.
N He replied
J Indeed, I promise you, today you will be with me in paradise.

N It was now about the sixth hour and, with the sun eclipsed, a darkness

came over the whole land until the ninth hour.

The veil of the Temple was torn right down the middle; and when Jesus had cried out in a loud voice, he said,
J Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.
N With these words he breathed his last.
(All kneel and pause a moment.)

N When the centurion saw what had taken place, he gav

e praise to God and said, This was a great and good man.
And when all the people who had gathered for the spectacle saw

what had happened, they went home beating their breasts.
All his friends stood at a distance; so also did the women who had

accompanied him from Galilee, and they saw all this happen.
Then a member of the council arrived, an upright and virtuous man named Joseph

. He had not consented to what the others had planned and carried out.

He came from Arimathaea, a Jewish town, and he lived in the hope of

seeing the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

He then took it down, wrapped it in a shroud and put him in a tomb which was

hewn in stone in which no one had yet been laid.

It was Preparation Day and the sabbath was imminent.
Meanwhile the women who had come from Galilee with Jesus were following behind.

They took note of the tomb and of the position of the body.

Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments.
And on the sabbath day they rested, as the Law required.

Eucharistic Ministers Needed

We are desperately low on volunteers to be Eucharistic ministers.

This involves distributing Eucharist and The Precious Blood during mass.

Optional is taking Eucharist to the housebound and this is also desperately needed.

Please contact Fr Stephen if you are willing for one or both.

OPENING DOORS

Pope Francis opened a Jubilee Holy Door in St Peters Basilica last month.

This doorway represents the passage to salvation which Jesus opened to us all.

We have no special Holy Door in Alnwick but we are hoping to create a

purpose-built Kitchen area at the back of Church where we can all meet after mass

as well as at other important times in the Parish’s year.

You may know that our Church is a ‘grade 2* listed building’ which means that all

alterations have to be approved, licenced and controlled.

As you can imagine, that can be costly and complicated.

We therefore ask you all to pray for the success of our kitchen project and to help

as much as you can with the fundraising in the coming months.

During the last jubilee year in 2000, Fr Stephen was ordained to the priesthood.

This means that Holy Year 2025 marks his Silver Jubilee.

Fr Stephen has kindly announced that he would like all gifts meant for him

and for his jubilee to be dedicated to the new kitchen appeal instead.

(Don't worry we will still be celebrating his milestone!).

Let's all try to open doors this year and make this a double jubilee year to remember!"

New Kitchen Area

The faculties for the kitchen are expected to begin in January 2025. Fundraising has started for this with the option of Gift Aid.

This is the link to the Kitchen application

https://www.catholic-historic-churches.org.uk/applications/hexham-newcastle-1029

The toilets faculties are undergoing the due process of regulations and comments.

This is the link to the Toilets application

LOUDFENCE WORKSHOP

LOUDFENCE is a tool to enable and empower faith communities to begin

addressing the harm caused by abuse perpetuated by anyone in faith based

settings. On 1st May Bishop Stephen Wright will attend a liturgy of prayer and reflection,

here at St Paul’s and afterwards we will all be invited to tie messages of support around the outside of the church.

Jubilee Year 2025

Pope Francis has proclaimed 2025 to be a Jubilee or Holy Year

The Holy Father writes: For all of us, may the Jubilee be an opportunity to be renewed in hope.

|God’s word helps us to find reasons for that hope.
St Paul says ‘Hope does not disappoint’ Rom 5:5.

The theme is “Pilgrims of Hope”, and it will be a year of hope for a world

suffering the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of COVID-19 pandemic, and a climate crisis.

We now have a facebook page for our parish.

Safeguarding Changes

There are some changes to safeguarding, which as a Parish we need to implement.

Those working with children and vulnerable adults will continue to need a DBS, renewed every 3 years.

DBS paperwork has changed slightly.

Every leader of a group will need a DBS and if possible a deputy with a DBS should be appointed.

Parishioners may take Holy communion to their immediate family if they are unable to attend church.

But other than this a Eucharistic Minister will require a DBS to undertake this ministry.

Every volunteer for every position in the Parish will need to fill in a volunteer registration form and

will require 2 #references before they start volunteering.

This does not affect existing volunteers. But takes immediate effect for any new volunteers.

Many thanks Pam Slater
