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.

Liturgy of the Word
1 Kgs 17:10-16
In those days,
Elijah the prophet
went to Zarephath.
As he arrived at the
entrance of the city,
a widow was
gathering sticks there;
he called out to her,
"Please bring me a small cupful
of water to drink."
She left to get it,
and he called out after her,
"Please bring along a bit of bread."
She answered,
"As the LORD, your God, lives,
I have nothing baked;
there is only
a handful of flour in my jar
and a little oil in my jug.
Just now I was collecting
a couple of sticks,
to go in and prepare something
for myself and my son;
when we have eaten it, we shall die."
Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid.
Go and do as you propose.
But first make me a
little cake and bring it to me.
Then you can prepare something
for yourself and your son.
For the LORD, the God of Israel, says,
'The jar of flour shall not go empty,
nor the jug of oil run dry,
until the day when the LORD
sends rain upon the earth.'"
She left and did as Elijah had said.
She was able to eat for a year,
and he and her son as well;
the jar of flour did not go empty,
nor the jug of oil run dry,
as the LORD had foretold through Elijah.
~Thanks be to God
Ps 146:7, 8-9, 9-10
R. Praise the Lord, my soul!
The LORD keeps faith forever,
secures justice
for the oppressed,
gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets captives free.
R. Praise the Lord, my soul!
The LORD gives sight to the blind.
The LORD raises up those who
were bowed down;
the LORD loves the just.
The LORD protects strangers.
R. Praise the Lord, my soul!
The fatherless and
the widow he sustains,
but the way of the
wicked he thwarts.
The LORD shall reign forever;
your God, O Zion,
through all generations. Alleluia.
R. Praise the Lord, my soul!
Heb 9:24-28
Christ did not enter
into a sanctuary
made by hands,
a copy of the true one,
but heaven itself,
that he might now
appear before
God on our behalf.
Not that he might
offer himself
repeatedly,
as the high priest enters
each year into the sanctuary
with blood that is
not his own;
if that were so,
he would have
had to suffer repeatedly
from the foundation
of the world.
But now once for
all he has appeared
at the end of the ages
to take away sin
by his sacrifice.
Just as it is appointed that
human beings die once,
and after this the judgment,
so also Christ,
offered once to
take away the sins of many,
will appear
a second time,
not to take away
sin but to bring salvation
to those who
eagerly await him.
The Word of the Lord,
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Mk 12:28b-34
In the course of his teaching
Jesus said to the crowds,
"Beware of the scribes,
who like to go around
in long robes
and accept greetings
in the marketplaces,
seats of honor
in synagogues,
and places of honor
at banquets.
They devour the houses
of widows and, as a pretext
recite lengthy prayers.
They will receive a
very severe condemnation."
He sat down
opposite the treasury
and observed how the crowd
put money into the treasury.
Many rich people
put in large sums.
A poor widow also came
and put in two small coins
worth a few cents.
Calling his disciples to himself,
he said to them,
"Amen, I say to you,
this poor widow put in more
than all the other
contributors to the treasury.
For they have all contributed
from their surplus wealth,
but she, from her poverty,
has contributed all she had,
her whole livelihood."
~ 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.

to the priesthood, diaconate and to religious life.
Through the intercession of the Blessed Mother,

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
