Fifth Sunday of Easter 435
FiFth sunday oF easter (Lectionary 52)
Today’s Gospel very simply lays out for us the way to salvation. The disciples are troubled, perhaps because they sense Jesus’ impending departure. Naturally they ask him the central question that most Christians eventually ask: “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus’ response is quite simple. If we focus on knowing and believing in him, then we will find the way. That way leads to the place prepared for us in his Father’s house. It all sounds so easy. Yet each of us knows that sin is the only easy way. We have a choice. Either we take the easy way, or we choose to take up the challenge to follow in the Lord’s footsteps. The wonderful thing is that we never do this alone. We have our community of faith to support us as we all travel the journey that we hope will lead us all to the Father’s house.
Entrance Antiphon Cf. Ps 98 (97):1–2
O sing a new song to the Lord, for he has worked wonders; in the sight of the nations he has shown his deliverance, alleluia.
Order of Mass, p. 19.
The Gloria in excelsis (Glory to God in the highest) is said.
CollectAlmighty ever-living God, constantly accomplish the Paschal Mystery within us, that those you were pleased to make new in Holy Baptism may, under your protective care, bear much fruit and come to the joys of life eternal. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Introductory Rites 19
The Introductory Rites“Lift up your hearts!” How do we come to the holy moment when we join with the whole of creation to sing to God what can be sung to God alone: “Holy, holy, holy”?
First, Christ gathers us together. We come from our homes and assemble in this holy place. We greet one another as we would greet Christ, bless ourselves with holy water, and take our places. A procession forms. We sing, our many voices raised as the one, mighty voice of the Body of Christ. We sign ourselves with the cross. Depending on the season of the year, we may sing the song of the angels (“Glory to God”), bless water and be sprinkled with it, or cry out “Lord, have mercy.” The priest calls us to pray, and after a moment of silence, says words that gather all our praise and petitions into one prayer.
Entrance Chant
All stAnd.
When the people are gathered, the Priest approaches the altar with the ministers while the Entrance Chant is sung.

Amen.
