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.
-AND/OR-

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
Nm 11:25-29
The LORD came down in the cloud
and spoke to Moses.
Taking some of the spirit
that was on Moses,
the LORD bestowed it on
the seventy elders;
and as the spirit came to
rest on them, they prophesied.
Now two men, one named Eldad
and the other Medad,
were not in the gathering
but had been left in the camp.
They too had been on the list,
but had not gone out to the tent;
yet the spirit came to rest on them also,
and they prophesied in the camp.
So, when a young man quickly told Moses,
"Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp, "
Joshua, son of Nun,
who from his youth
had been Moses’ aide, said,
"Moses, my lord, stop them."
But Moses answered him,
"Are you jealous for my sake?
Would that all the people
of the LORD were prophets!
Would that the LORD might
bestow his spirit on them all!"
~Thanks be to God
Ps 19:8, 10, 12-13, 14
R. The precepts of the Lord
give joy to the heart.
The law of the LORD is perfect,
refreshing the soul;
the decree of the LORD
is trustworthy,
giving wisdom to the simple.
R. The precepts of the Lord
give joy to the heart.
The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever;
the ordinances of the
LORD are true,
all of them just.
R. The precepts of the Lord
give joy to the heart.
Though your servant
is careful of them,
very diligent in keeping them,
Yet who can detect failings?
Cleanse me from my unknown faults!
R. The precepts of the Lord
give joy to the heart.
From wanton sin especially,
restrain your servant;
let it not rule over me.
Then shall I be
blameless and innocent
of serious sin.
R. The precepts of the Lord
give joy to the heart.
Jas 5:1-6
Come now, you rich,
weep and wail over your
impending miseries.
Your wealth has rotted away,
your clothes have
become moth-eaten,
your gold and silver
have corroded,
and that corrosion will be a
testimony against you;
it will devour your flesh
like a fire.
You have stored up treasure
for the last days.
Behold, the wages you withheld
from the workers
who harvested your fields
are crying aloud;
and the cries of the harvesters
have reached the ears
of the Lord of hosts.
You have lived on earth
in luxury and pleasure;
you have fattened your hearts
for the day of slaughter.
You have condemned;
you have murdered
the righteous one;
he offers you no resistance.
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Your word, O Lord, is truth;
consecrate us in the truth.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Mk 9:38-43, 45, 47-48
At that time, John said to Jesus,
"Teacher, we saw someone driving
out demons in your name,
and we tried to prevent him
because he does not follow us."
Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him.
There is no one who performs a
mighty deed in my name
who can at the same time speak ill of me.
For whoever is not against us is for us.
Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink
because you belong to Christ,
amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward.
"Whoever causes one of these
little ones who believe in me to sin,
it would be better for him if a great millstone
were put around his neck
and he were thrown into the sea.
If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.
It is better for you to enter into life maimed
than with two hands to go into Gehenna,
into the unquenchable fire.
And if your foot causes you to sin, cut if off.
It is better for you to enter into life crippled
than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna.
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.
Better for you to enter into the kingdom of God
with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown
into Gehenna, where 'their worm does not die,
and the fire is not quenched.'"

~ 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.

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.
