Bible Enthronement
Bible Enthronement
Talibon, Bohol
INTRODUCTION: My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, today we are gathered together to
honor the precious gift of our God – His Word in the Book of Life – the Holy Bible. As we open
this School Year 2021-2022, let us start it with a heart that is open for the Word of God. As
Christians, it is just but fitting for us to love the Holy Bible, for it does contain God’s message of
love for us. The message that has changed others’ lives and has effected so much change in the
world!
LEADER: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN!
LEADER: Let us now ask the Life-Giving Word to lead us unto His path as we sing our Opening
Song,
LORD JESUS WE ENTHRONE YOU
Candle Bearers:
Jesus is the true light that enlightens everyone! He who follows the light will never walk
in darkness! Let your light, then, shine before men, that they may see your good works
and glorify your heavenly Father!
Incense Bearers:
Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God! For those who are led by the Spirit of God
are children of God, in which we cry, Abba Father!
Flower Bearers:
Behold the aura of the mighty power of God! Living sign of the majesty and beauty of
His wisdom! Let wisdom penetrate your soul by reason of her purity and beauty.
St. Joseph
Through St. Joseph the protector of Holy Mother Church, God the Father entrusted our
Savior to his care. May your Church through this young people you called continue to
serve with deeper understanding and commitment through Jesus Christ, True God and
True Man.
Mama Mary
To Jesus through Mary, intimacy with Jesus means living a life in humility and purity.
We must be like Mary in all our ways. She truly is, the Tabernacle of all virtues.
Crucifix Bearer:
Behold Jesus, our Lord and Savior, the good shepherd who offered his life for us! He
entered into human history; that we may have life, life in all its fullness. Let us welcome
Him into our hearts!
Bible Bearer:
The Bible is the WORD OF GOD; keep the GOOD NEWS forever whole and alive
within you! So READ THE BIBLE……..PRAY THE BIBLE……..LIVE THE BIBLE
and proclaim the GOOD NEWS to all nations.
BIBLE BEARER : Let us give thanks to God the Father, to Jesus Christ, our Lord, and to the
Holy Spirit for this moment of grace. In this sacred moment, He has come to us today. In this
sacred moment He has touched us and turned our hearts to one another. He pours His Spirit
among us, strengthening the bond of devotion in the Holy Scripture. With one Mind, One Heart,
One Vision, One Mission intent upon God, let us journey together in the Spirit of love. Amen!
