INTRODUCTION
Commentator:

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, good morning! Welcome to

this Eucharistic celebration.
With deep gratitude to God, we are gathered here for the 32 nd
Capping Badge-Pinning and Candle Lighting Ceremony of the
Aureate Light of Nightingale Class of the College of Nursing with the
theme Nursing care Through the Ages.
The value of nursing includes gentle loving care and
understanding patients needs. It shows loving concern in developing
goals and actions intended to enhance patients welfare. It directs the
activities related to the medical plan to improve the patients condition.
Throughout history, Jesus Christ exemplified this art of care
during His ministry on earth when He healed those who followed Him
as well as those who condemned Him.
In this Eucharistic celebration, may we be reminded of how
Jesus valued the life of the sick. May we also captivate within us the
real essence of care which is the heart of the nursing profession.
With this intention at hand, let us then offer this Eucharistic
celebration for the success and perseverance of these students in
fulfilling their dreams.
And now with joyful hearts and gratitude to God, let us all rise
and together sing our entrance hymn.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

First Reading:

Am 9:11-15

(Julianne Triz C. Jubac)

A reading from the Book of the Prophet Amos

Thus says the LORD: On that day I will raise up

the fallen hut of David; I will wall up its breaches,
raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,
That they may conquer what is left of Edom
and all the nations that shall bear my name, say I,
the LORD, who will do this. Yes, days are coming,
says the LORD, When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
and the vintager, him who sows the seed;
The juice of grapes shall drip down the mountains,
and all the hills shall run with it. I will bring about the restoration of my people Israel;
they shall rebuild and inhabit their ruined cities, Plant vineyards and drink the wine,
set out gardens and eat the fruits. I will plant them upon their own ground; never again
shall they be plucked
From the land I have given them, say I, the LORD, your God.

The word of the Lord

All:

Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 85:9b and 10, 11-12, 13-14

(Dexty Kiss M. Labado)

THE LORD SPEAKS OF PEACE TO HIS PEOPLE..

I will hear what God proclaims;
the LORDfor he proclaims peace to his people.
Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,
glory dwelling in our land.
R. The Lord speaks of peace to his people.
Kindness and truth shall meet;
justice and peace shall kiss.
Truth shall spring out of the earth,
and justice shall look down from heaven
R. The Lord speaks of peace to his people.
The LORD himself will give his benefits;
our land shall yield its increase.
Justice shall walk before him,
and salvation, along the way of his steps.
R. The Lord speaks of peace to his people.
Commentator: Let us all stand to honor the Holy Gospel
Alleluia: (sung)
Gospel Reading:

Mt. 9:14-17

From the holy gospel according to Matthew

The disciples of John approached Jesus and said,
Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, but your disciples do
not fast? Jesus answered them, Can the wedding guests mourn
as long as the bridegroom is with them
The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away
4

from them, and then they will fast.

No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken
cloth, for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse. People
do not put new wine into old wineskins.
Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. Rather,
they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.
The Gospel of the Lord.
All:

Praise to you, Oh Lord Jesus Christ.

salvation, always and everywhere to give you
thanks, Father most holy, through your beloved
on, Jesus Christ, your word through whom you made
all things, whom you sent as our Savior and redeemer,
incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin.
Fulfilling your will and gaining for you a holy people, he
stretched out his hands as he endured his Passion, so
as to break the bonds of death and manifest the
resurrection.
And so, with the Angels and all the Saints we declare
your glory, as with one voice we acclaim:

Holy, holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.

You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness.

YOU.

he took the chalice and, once more giving thanks, he
gave it to his disciples, saying:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT,
FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNALCOVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR
MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy
Spirit.
Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the
world, and bring her to the fullness of charity, together
8

with Francis our Pope and Leonardo our Bishop and all
the clergy.
Remember also our brothers and sisters who have
fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection, and all
who have died in your mercy: welcome them into the
light of your face. Have mercy on us all, we pray, that
with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with the
blessed Apostles, and all the Saints who have pleased
you throughout the ages, we may merit to be coheirs to
eternal life, and may praise and glorify you through
your Son, Jesus Christ.

NURSES PRAYER
Dearest Lord, may I see Thee today and every day in the person of Thy
sick and whilst nursing them, minister unto Thee, Thou hides Thyself
behind the unattractive disguise of the irritable, the exacting and the
unreasonable. May I still recognize Thee and say Jesus, my patient, how
sweet it is to serve Thee. Lord, give me that seeing faith, that my work will
never become monotonous that I will ever fine new joy in humoring the
fancies and gratifying the wishes of all poor sufferers.
Dearest Lord, make me appreciate the dignity of my high vocation and its
many responsibilities; and never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to
coldness, unkindness or impatience. And my God, whilst Thou art Jesus
my patient, deign also to be patient, Jesus bearing with many faults and
looking into my intention, which is ever to love and to serve Thee in the

13

person of each and every one of Thy sick. Lord, increase my faith, bless
my efforts and sanctify my work, now and forever. Amen.

ONE LITTLE CANDLE

It is better to light just one little candle
Than to stumble in the dark.
Better far that you light just one little candle,
All you need is a tiny spark!
If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free,
A wonderful dawn of a new day we'd see...
And if everyone lit just one little candle,
What a bright world this would Be!
Lets all light one little candle. Why stumble on in the dark?
When the day is dark and dreary, and your way is hard to find. Dont
let your heart be weary, just keep this thought in mind! It is better to
light just one little candle , than to stumble in the dark! Better far that
you light just one little candle all you need is a tiny spark!
If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free,
A wonderful dawn of a new day we'd see...
And if everyone lit just one little candle,
What a bright world this would Be!
