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.

You alone are the Lord,
Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit,

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading Lv 13:1-2, 44-46
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
“If someone has on his skin a scab or pustule or blotch
which appears to be the sore of leprosy,
he shall be brought to Aaron, the priest,
or to one of the priests among his descendants.
If the man is leprous and unclean,
the priest shall declare him unclean
by reason of the sore on his head.
“The one who bears the sore of leprosy
shall keep his garments rent
and his head bare,
and shall muffle his beard;
he shall cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’
As long as the sore is on him
he shall declare himself unclean,
since he is in fact unclean.
He shall dwell apart,
making his abode outside the camp.”
The Word of the Lord,
~Thanks be to God
Responsorial Psalm Ps 32:1-2, 5, 11
Blessed is he whose fault is taken away,
whose sin is covered.
Blessed the man to whom the LORD imputes not guilt,
in whose spirit there is no guile.
Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
my guilt I covered not.
I said, “I confess my faults to the LORD,”
and you took away the guilt of my sin.
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you just;
exult, all you upright of heart.
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble,
and you fill me with the joy of salvation.
2nd Reading 1 Cor 10:31—11:1
Brothers and sisters,
Whether you eat or drink,
or whatever you do,
do everything for the glory of God.
Avoid giving offense,
whether to the Jews or Greeks or
the church of God,
just as I try to please everyone
in every way,
not seeking my own benefit
but that of the many,
that they may be saved.
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
The Word of the Lord,
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia Lk 7:16
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
A great prophet has arisen in our midst,
God has visited his people.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Gospel Mk 1:40-45
A leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged him and said,
“If you wish, you can make me clean.”
Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand,
touched him, and said to him,
“I do will it. Be made clean.”
The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean.
Then, warning him sternly, he dismissed him at once.
He said to him, “See that you tell no one anything,
but go, show yourself to the priest
and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed;
that will be proof for them.”
The man went away and
began to publicize the whole matter.
He spread the report abroad
so that it was impossible
for Jesus to enter a town openly.
He remained outside in deserted places,
and people kept coming to him from everywhere.
The Gospel of the Lord,
~ Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ
Homily
through Him all things were made.

Sign of Peace
Communion Song:
Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus, I believe that you are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
And unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
Concluding Rite
Closing Song:
Bless our diocese with the grace of many vocations
to the priesthood, diaconate and to religious life.
Through the intercession of the Blessed Mother,
grant to those You have called
the willingness and the generosity of spirit
to give of themselves in devoting their lives and their talents
to the service of our Lord and to His Church.
Increase the faith of all within our diocese,
and especially the faith of those You are calling.
We ask this through Christ, Your Son our Lord. ~ Amen
