Curia Memorial Mass - 9 Nov 2025
CURIA ROSA MYSTICA MEMORIAL MASS 2025
PROLOGUE
The memorial
mass held among Legionaries every year is to remember those who we loved and
those whom we walked together in our Legion of Mary journey. Together, we say the Legionary prayers every
week in meetings and Legionary events.
Through assignments, we brought lights to those whom we served and in
prayers and caring, we carried the love of God to all whom we loved. In our apostolic life, people we encountered
brought inspirations, lessons, and guidance that brings us closer to God. It is with this reason that the month of
November reminds us of those who passed away and as we slowly close this year,
we can continue to review all these and improve and grow in our journey with
God year after year.
Let
us all continue the prayer journey with them and commence our Memorial Mass by saying the Opening Prayer first.

ENTRANCE HYMANL – AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
When we've been there ten thousand years，
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun
INTRODUCTORY
RITE:
Priest: The Lord be with you.
R: And with your spirit.
Priest:
Welcome my dear brothers and sisters to the Curia Memorial Mass, where we
remember the souls that left us in our Legion of Mary journey. But before this let’s reflect on our lives as
we say…
PENITENTIAL RITE:
I
confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have
greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what
I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most
grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and
Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.
Priest: May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our
sins,
and bring us to everlasting life.
R: Amen.

NO GLORIA
COLLECT
Let us
pray (pause)
Almighty and merciful God, graciously keep from us all
adversity, so that, unhindered in mind and body alike, we may pursue in freedom
of heart the things that are yours.
O God, who willed that your Only Begotten Son, having
conquered death, should pass over into the realm of heaven, grant, we pray, to
your departed servants in the Legion of Mary that, with the mortality of this
life overcome, they may gaze eternally on you, their Creator and Redeemer. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who
lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and
ever.
R. Amen.

FIRST
READING (The King of the world
will raise us up to live again forever.)
A reading from the
second Book of Maccabees (7:1-2, 9-14)
It happened that seven brothers with their mother were
arrested and tortured with whips and scourges by the king, to force them to eat
pork in violation of God’s law. One of the brothers, speaking for the others,
said: “What do you expect to achieve by questioning us? We are ready to die
rather than transgress the laws of our ancestors.”
At the point of death the second brother said: “You accursed
fiend, you are depriving us of this present life, but the King of the world
will raise us up to live again forever. It is for his laws that we are dying.”
After him the third brother suffered their cruel sport. He
put out his tongue at once when told to do so, and bravely held out his hands,
as he spoke these noble words: “It was from Heaven that I received these; for
the sake of his laws I disdain them; from him I hope to receive them again.”
Even the king and his attendants marveled at the young man’s courage, because
he regarded his sufferings as nothing.
After he had died, they tortured and maltreated the fourth
brother in the same way. When he was near death, he said, “It is my choice to
die at the hands of men with the hope God gives of being raised up by him; but
for you, there will be no resurrection to life.” —The Word of the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
RESPONSORIAL
PSALM (17:1, 5-6, 8, 15)
R. Lord,
when your glory appears, my joy will be full. (Ps 17:15b)
Hear, O Lord, a just cause; attend to my outcry; listen
to my prayer from lips without deceit. (R)
My steps had been steadfast in your paths, my feet have not
faltered. I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to
me; hear my word. (R)
Keep me as the pupil of
your eye, hide me in the shadow of your wings. But I in justice shall behold
your face; on waking I shall be content in your presence. (R)
SECOND READING (May the Lord encourage
your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed and word.)
A reading from the
second Letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians (2:16-3:5)
Brothers and sisters: May our Lord Jesus Christ himself
and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and
good hope through his grace, encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every
good deed and word.
Finally, brothers and sisters, pray for us, so that the word
of the Lord may speed forward and be glorified, as it did among you, and that
we may be delivered from perverse and wicked people, for not all have faith.
But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil
one. We are confident of you in the Lord that what we instruct you, you are
doing and will continue to do. May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of
God and to the endurance of Christ. —The Word of the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION (Rev 1:5a, 6b)
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Jesus Christ is the
firstborn of the dead; to him be glory and power, forever and ever. (R)
(Long Form)
GOSPEL (He is not God of the
dead, but of the living.)
A reading from the holy
Gospel according to Luke (20:27-38)
Some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection,
came forward and put this question to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for
us, If someone’s brother dies
leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up
descendants for his brother. Now there were seven brothers;
the first married a woman but died childless. Then the second and the third
married her, and likewise all the seven died childless. Finally the woman also
died. Now at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be? For all seven had
been married to her.” Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and
remarry; but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the
resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. They can no
longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God because
they are the ones who will rise. That the dead will rise even Moses made known
in the passage about the bush, when Moses called the Lord, the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and he is not God of the dead, but of
the living, for to him all are alive.” —The Gospel of the Lord.
R. Praise
to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

(Please stand)
The Creed
I believe in one God, the Father
almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in
one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before
all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not
made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us
men and for our salvation, He came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was
incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified
under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the
third day, in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom
will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord,
the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the
Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the
prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one
Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look
forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

God, the almighty Father
R:
May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his
name, for our good and the good of all his holy Church
PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Look with favor, we
pray, O Lord,
upon the sacrificial
gifts offered here,
that, celebrating in
mystery the Passion of your Son,
we may honor it with
loving devotion.
Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
Priest:
The Lord be with you.
R: And with your spirit.
Priest: Lift up your hearts.
R : We lift them up to the Lord.
Priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
R: It is right and just.
Priest:
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere
to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God, through Christ
our Lord. In him the hope of blessed
resurrection has dawned, that those saddened by the certainty of dying might be
consoled by the promised of immortality to come. Indeed for your faithful, Lord, life is
changed not ended, and, when this earthly dwelling turns to dust, an eternal
dwelling is made ready for them in heaven.
And so, with Angels and Archanges, with Thrones and Dominions, and with
all the hosts and Powers of heaven, we sing the hymn of your glory, as without
end we acclaim:
SANCTUS (HOLY, HOLY, HOLY)
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of hosts,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory, Hosanna, in the highest, Blessed is he
who comes in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest, Hosana in the
highest.
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of hosts,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory, Hosanna, in the highest, Hosanna, in
the highest,
Priest: Be pleased, O God, we pray, to bless,
acknowledge, and approve this offering in every respect; make it spiritual and
acceptable, so that it may become for us the Body and Blood of your most
beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. On
the day before he was to suffer, and with eyes raised to heaven to you, O God,
his almighty Father, giving you thanks, he said the blessing, broke the bread
and gave it to his disciples, saying:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY
BODY, WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took this
precious chalice in his holy and venerable hands, and once more giving you
thanks, he said the blessing and gave the chalice 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 ETERNAL COVENANT, WHICH WILL BE
POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. DO THIS IN MEMORY
OF ME.
(Please stand)
THE MYSTERY OF FAITH
Priest: The mystery of faith.
R: We proclaim your death, O Lord. And profess your resurrection... Until you come
again
Priest: To you, therefore, most merciful Father, we make
humble prayer and petition through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord: that you
accept and bless these gifts, these offerings, these holy and unblemished
sacrifices, which we offer you firstly for your holy catholic Church. Be
pleased to grant her peace, to guard, unite and govern her throughout the whole
world, together with your servant Leo our Pope and Steven our Bishop, and all
those who, holding to the truth, hand on the catholic and apostolic faith. Remember, Lord, your servants N. and N. and all gathered here, whose faith and
devotion are known to you. For them, we offer you this sacrifice of praise or
they offer it for themselves and all who are dear to them: for the redemption
of their souls, in hope of health and well-being, and paying their homage to
you, the eternal God, living and true.
In communion with those whose memory we venerate, especially the
glorious ever-Virgin Mary, Mother of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ, † and

Andrew, (James, John, Thomas, James, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon and
Jude; Linus, Cletus, Clement, Sixtus, Cornelius, Cyprian, Lawrence,
Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian) and all your Saints; we ask that
through their merits and prayers, in all things we may be defended by your
protecting help. Through Christ our
Lord. Amen.
Priest:
Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, all glory and honour is yours, for ever and ever. Amen.
R:
Amen.

COMMUNION ANTIPHON (Cf. Ps 23 (22):1-2)
The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want. Fresh and
green are the pastures where he gives me repose, near restful waters he leads
me.
COMMUNION HYMNAL 1 – AS THE DEER
As the deer panteth for the water,
so my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship
Thee.
You alone are my strength, my shield,
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart's desire,
and I long to worship Thee.
I want You more than gold or silver, only You can
satisfy.
You alone are the real joy giver,
and the apple of my eye.
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart's desire,
and I long to worship Thee.
You're my friend and You are my brother,
even though You are a King.
I love You more than any other,
so much more than anything.
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart's desire,
and I long to worship Thee.
COMMUNION HYMNAL 2 – Prayer of St. Francis
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, only light,
And where there's sadness, ever joy.
Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console.
To be understood as to understand.
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
in giving of ourselves that we receive,
and in dying that we're born to eternal life.
COMMUNION HYMNAL 3 - My Peace
My peace I give unto you,
It's a peace that the world cannot give,
It's a peace that the world
cannot understand,
Peace to know,
Peace to live,
My peace I give unto you.
My love I give unto you,
I's a love that the world cannot give,
It's a love that the world
cannot understand,
Love to know,
Love to live,
My love I give unto you.
My peace I give unto you,
It's a peace that the world cannot give,
It's a peace that the world
cannot understand,
Peace to know,
Peace to live,
My peace I give unto you.
It's a peace that the world
cannot understand,
My peace I give unto you.

DISMISSAL HYMNAL – PASS IT ON
It only takes a spark to get a fire going,
And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing;
That's how it is with God's Love,
Once you've experienced it,
Your spread His love to everyone;
You want to pass it on.
What a wondrous time in spring
when all the tress are budding,
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their
blooming;
That's how it is with God's love,
Once you've experienced it,
You want to sing, it's fresh like spring, You want to
pass it on.
I wish for you my friend
this happiness that I've found;
You can depend on Him,
It matters not where you're bound,
I'll shout it from the mountain top,
I want the world to know;
The Lord of love has come to me,
I want to pass it on.
I'll shout it from the mountain top,
I want the world to know;
The Lord of love has come to me,
I want to pass it
on.

God
our Father, you inspired your servant Frank Duff with a profound insight into
the mystery of your Church, the Body of Christ, and of the place of Mary the
Mother of Jesus in this mystery. In
his immense desire to share this insight with others and in filial dependence
on Mary, he formed her Legion to be a sign of her maternal love for the world
and a means of enlisting all her children in the Church’s evangelizing
work. We thank you Father for the
graces conferred on him and for the benefits accruing to the Church from his
courageous and shining faith. With
confidence we beg you that through his intercession you grant the petition we
lay before you… (prayer intentions)… and The Beatification of Frank Duff.
