Ordinary Time
Penitential Act: Confiteor
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.

Lord have Mercy,

We praise you, we bless you,
we adore you, we glorify you,
We give you thanks for your great glory,
Lord God, heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.
Lord, Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
You take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father, Amen.
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people of good
Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading Wis 1:13-15; 2:23-24
nor does He rejoice
in the destruction of the living.
For He fashioned all things
that they might have being;
and the creatures of the world are wholesome,
and there is not a
destructive drug among them
nor any domain of the netherworld on earth,
for justice is undying.
For God formed man to be imperishable;
the image of His own nature He made him.
But by the envy of the devil,
death entered the world,
and they who belong to his company
experience it.
The Word of the Lord,
~Thanks be to God
30:2, 4, 5-6, 11, 12, 13
for you have rescued me.
I will extol you, O LORD,
for you drew me clear
and did not let my enemies
rejoice over me.
O LORD, you brought me up
from the netherworld;
you preserved me from among
those going down into the pit.
R. I will praise you, Lord,
for you have rescued me.
Sing praise to the LORD,
you his faithful ones,
and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger lasts but a moment;
a lifetime, his good will.
At nightfall, weeping enters in,
but with the dawn, rejoicing.
R. I will praise you, Lord,
for you have rescued me.
Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me;
O LORD, be my helper.
You changed my mourning
into dancing;
O LORD, my God,
forever will I give you thanks.
R. I will praise you, Lord,
for you have rescued me.
2nd Reading 2 Cor 8:7, 9, 13-15
As you excel in every respect, in faith, discourse,
knowledge, all earnestness, and in the love we have for you,
may you excel in this gracious act also.
For you know the gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though He was rich, for your sake He became poor,
so that by His poverty You might become rich.
Not that others should have relief while You are burdened,
but that as a matter of equality
your abundance at the present time should supply their needs,
so that their abundance may also supply Your needs,
that there may be equality.
As it is written:
Whoever had much did not have more,
and whoever had little did not have less.
The Word of the Lord,
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Our Savior Jesus Christ destroyed death
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Gospel
Mk 5:21-43
to the other side,
a large crowd gathered around him,
and he stayed close to the sea.
One of the synagogue officials,
named Jairus, came forward.
Seeing him he fell at his feet
and pleaded earnestly with him, saying,
“My daughter is at the point of death.
Please, come lay your hands on her
that she may get well and live.”
He went off with him,
and a large crowd followed him
and pressed upon him.
While he was still speaking,
people from the synagogue official’s house
arrived and said,
“Your daughter has died;
why trouble the teacher any longer?”
Disregarding the message that was reported,
Jesus said to the synagogue official,
“Do not be afraid; just have faith.”
He did not allow anyone
to accompany him inside
except Peter, James,
and John, the brother of James.
When they arrived at the
house of the synagogue official,
he caught sight of a commotion,
people weeping and wailing loudly.
So he went in and said to them,
“Why this commotion and weeping?
The child is not dead but asleep.”
And they ridiculed him.
Then he put them all out.
He took along the child’s father and mother
and those who were with him
and entered the room where the child was.
He took the child by the hand
and said to her, “Talitha koum,”
which means,
“Little girl, I say to you, arise!”
The girl, a child of twelve,
arose immediately and walked around.
At that they were utterly astounded.
He gave strict orders
that no one should know this
and said that she should be given something to eat.
The Gospel of the Lord,
~ Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ
Homily
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.

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.
