Preface for Sundays in Ordinary Time V: [Creation]
Father, all-powerful and ever-living God,
we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks.

All things are of your making,
all times and seasons obey your laws,
but you chose to create man in your own image,
setting him over the whole world in all its wonder.
You made man the steward of creation,
to praise you day by day for the marvels of your wisdom and power,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We praise you, Lord, with all the angels
in their song of joy:

  Holy, holy, holy Lord...

Communion Antiphon:
Give praise to the Lord for his kindness, for his wonderful deeds toward men. He has filled the hungry with good things, he has satisfied the thirsty. (Psalm 107:8-9)

Prayer after Communion:
God our Father,
you gave us a share in the one bread and the one cup
and make us one in Christ.
Help us to bring your salvation and joy
to all the world
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
