Liturgy of the Word

1st Reading Acts 14:21-27

After Paul and Barnabas

had proclaimed the good news

to that city

and made a considerable

number of disciples,

they returned to Lystra and

to Iconium and to Antioch.

They strengthened the

spirits of the disciples

and exhorted them to

persevere in the faith, saying,

“It is necessary for us to

undergo many hardships

to enter the kingdom of God.”

They appointed elders for them

in each church and,

with prayer and fasting,

commended them to the Lord

in whom they

had put their faith.

Then they traveled through

Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.

After proclaiming the word at

Perga they went down to Attalia.

From there they sailed to Antioch,

where they had been

commended to the grace of God

for the work they had

now accomplished.

And when they arrived,

they called the church together

and reported what

God had done with them

and how he had opened

the door of faith to the Gentiles.

The Word of the Lord,

~Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm Ps 145:8-9, 10-11, 12-13

R. I will praise your name for ever,

my king and my God.

The LORD is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger and of great kindness.

The LORD is good to all

and compassionate toward all his works.

R. I will praise your name for ever,

my king and my God.

Let all your works give you thanks, O LORD,

and let your faithful ones bless you.

Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom

and speak of your might.

R. I will praise your name for ever,

my king and my God.

Let them make known your

might to the children of Adam,

and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

Your kingdom is a kingdom for all ages,

and your dominion endures through all generations.

R. I will praise your name for ever,

my king and my God.

2nd Reading Rev 21:1-5a

Then I, John, saw a new heaven

and a new earth.

The former heaven

and the former earth had passed away,

and the sea was no more.

I also saw the holy city,

a new Jerusalem,

coming down out of

heaven from God,

prepared as a bride

adorned for her husband.

I heard a loud voice

from the throne saying,

“Behold, God’s dwelling

is with the human race.

He will dwell with them

and they will be his people

and God himself will always

be with them as their God.

He will wipe every tear from their eyes,

and there shall be no more death

or mourning, wailing or pain,

for the old order has passed away.”

The One who sat on the throne said,

“Behold, I make all things new.”

The Word of the Lord,

~Thanks be to God

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

I give you a new commandment, says the Lord:

love one another as I have loved you.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Gospel Jn 13:31-33a, 34-35

When Judas had left them,

Jesus said,

“Now is the Son of Man glorified,

and God is glorified in him.

If God is glorified in him,

God will also glorify him in himself,

and God will glorify him at once.

My children,

I will be with you

only a little while longer.

I give you a new commandment:

love one another.

As I have loved you,

so you also should love one another.

This is how all will know

that you are my disciples,

if you have love for one another.”

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.

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.
