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.
-AND/OR-
Lord have Mercy,
Christ have Mercy,
Lord have Mercy
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will.
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
Gn 2:18-24
The LORD God said:
"It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a suitable partner for him."
So the LORD God formed
out of the ground
various wild animals
and various birds of the air,
and he brought them to the man
to see what he would call them;
whatever the man called
each of them would be its name.
The man gave names to all the cattle,
all the birds of the air,
and all wild animals;
but none proved to be the
suitable partner for the man.
So the LORD God cast
a deep sleep on the man,
and while he was asleep,
he took out one of his ribs
and closed up its place with flesh.
The LORD God then built up
into a woman the rib
that he had taken from the man.
When he brought her to the man, the man said:
"This one, at last, is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
this one shall be called 'woman,'
for out of 'her man’ this one has been taken."
That is why a man leaves his
father and mother and clings to his wife,
and the two of them become one flesh.
~Thanks be to God
Ps 128:1-2, 3, 4-5, 6
R. May the Lord bless us
all the days of our lives.
Blessed are you who fear the LORD,
who walk in his ways!
For you shall eat the fruit
of your handiwork;
blessed shall you be, and favored.
R. May the Lord bless us
all the days of our lives.
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
in the recesses of your home;
your children like olive plants
around your table.
R. May the Lord bless us
all the days of our lives.
Behold, thus is the man blessed
who fears the LORD.
The LORD bless
you from Zion:
may you see the
prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
R. May the Lord bless us
all the days of our lives.
May you see your
children's children.
Peace be upon Israel!
R. May the Lord bless us
all the days of our lives.
Heb 2:9-11
Brothers and sisters:
He "for a little while"
was made
"lower than the angels,"
that by the grace of God
He might taste
death for everyone.
For it was fitting that he,
for whom and through
whom all things exist,
in bringing many
children to glory,
should make the leader
to their salvation perfect
through suffering.
He who consecrates and those
who are being consecrated
all have one origin.
to call them “brothers.”
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
If we love one another,
God remains in us
and his love is brought
to perfection in us.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Mk 10:2-16
The Pharisees approached Jesus
and asked,
"Is it lawful for a husband
to divorce his wife?"
They were testing him.
He said to them in reply,
"What did Moses command you?"
They replied,
"Moses permitted a husband
to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her."
But Jesus told them,
"Because of the hardness
of your hearts he wrote you
this commandment.
But from the beginning of creation,
God made them
male and female.
For this reason a man
shall leave his
father and mother and
be joined to his wife,
and the two shall
become one flesh.
So they are no longer
two but one flesh.
Therefore what God
has joined together,
no human being must separate."
In the house the disciples again questioned
Jesus about this.
He said to them,
"Whoever divorces his wife
and marries another
commits adultery against her;
and if she divorces her husband
and marries another,
she commits adultery."
And people were bringing
children to him
that he might touch them,
but the disciples rebuked them.
When Jesus saw this he became indignant
and said to them,
"Let the children come to me;
do not prevent them,
for the kingdom of God
belongs to such as these.
Amen, I say to you,
whoever does not accept
the kingdom of God like a child
will not enter it."
Then he embraced them
and blessed them,
placing his hands on them.
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.

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.
