Greeting

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,

Christ have Mercy,

Liturgy of the Word


1st Reading  Am 7:12-15

Amaziah, priest of Bethel, said to Amos,

“Off with you, visionary, flee to the land of Judah! 

There earn your bread by prophesying,

but never again prophesy in Bethel;

for it is the king’s sanctuary and a royal temple.” 

Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet,

nor have I belonged to a company of prophets;

I was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamores. 

The LORD took me from following the flock, and said to me,

Go, prophesy to my people Israel.”

                    The Word of the Lord,

                                  ~Thanks be to God





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


R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.

I will hear what God proclaims;

    the LORD —for he proclaims peace.

Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,

    glory dwelling in our land.

R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.

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. Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.

The LORD himself will give his benefits;

    our land shall yield its increase.

Justice shall walk before him,

    and prepare the way of his steps.

R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.


2nd Reading Eph 1:3-14 or 1:3-10

Blessed be the God and Father

of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who has blessed us in Christ

with every spiritual blessing in the heavens,

as he chose us in him,
before the foundation of the world,

to be holy and without blemish before him. 

In love he destined us for adoption
to himself through Jesus Christ,

in accord with the favor of his will,

for the praise of the glory of his grace

that he granted us in the beloved.

In him we have redemption by his blood,

the forgiveness of transgressions,

in accord with the riches of his grace
that he lavished upon us. 

In all wisdom and insight,

he has made known to us

the mystery of his will in accord with his favor

that he set forth in him

as a plan for the fullness of times,

to sum up all things in Christ,

in heaven and on earth.


In him we were also chosen,

destined in accord with

the purpose of the One

who accomplishes all things according
to the intention of his will,

so that we might exist

for the praise of his glory,

we who first hoped in Christ. 

In him you also,

who have heard the word of truth,

the gospel of your salvation,

and have believed in him,

were sealed with the promised holy Spirit,

which is the first installment of our inheritance

toward redemption as God’s possession,

to the praise of his glory.
The Word of the Lord,
~Thanks be to God


      

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

enlighten the eyes of our hearts,

that we may know what is the hope that

belongs to our call.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.



Gospel

Mk 6:7-13

Jesus summoned the Twelve

and began to send them out two by two

and gave them authority over unclean spirits. 

He instructed them to take nothing for the journey

but a walking stick—

no food, no sack, no money in their belts. 

They were, however, to wear sandals

but not a second tunic. 

He said to them,

“Wherever you enter a house,
stay there until you leave. 

Whatever place does not welcome you
or listen to you,

leave there and shake the dust off your feet

in testimony against them.” 

So they went off and preached repentance. 

The Twelve drove out many demons,

and they anointed with oil

many who were sick
and cured them.

The Gospel of the Lord,

     ~ Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ



Homily


Profession of Faith:

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.

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.
