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 Is 66:10-14c
Thus says the LORD:
Rejoice with Jerusalem
be glad because of her,
all you who love her;
exult, exult with her,
all you who were
mourning over her!
Oh, that you may suck fully
of the milk of her comfort,
that you may nurse with delight
at her abundant breasts!
For thus says the LORD:
Lo, I will spread prosperity
over Jerusalem like a river,
and the wealth of the nations
like an overflowing torrent.
As nurslings, you shall
be carried in her arms,
and fondled in her lap;
as a mother comforts her child,
so will I comfort you;
in Jerusalem you
shall find your comfort.
When you see this,
your heart shall rejoice
and your bodies
flourish like the grass;
the LORD's power
shall be known to his servants.
~Thanks be to God

2nd Reading Gal 6:14-18
Brothers and sisters:
May I never boast except
in the cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ,
through which the world
has been crucified to me,
and I to the world.
For neither does circumcision
mean anything,
nor does uncircumcision,
but only a new creation.
Peace and mercy
be to all who follow this rule
and to the Israel of God.
From now on,
let no one make troubles for me;
for I bear the marks
of Jesus on my body.
The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ
be with your spirit,
brothers and sisters. Amen.
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
R. Alleluia, Alleluia.

let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.

Gospel
At that time the Lord
appointed seventy-two others
whom he sent ahead
of him in pairs
to every town and place
he intended to visit.
He said to them,
"The harvest is abundant
but the laborers are few;
so ask the master
of the harvest
to send out laborers
for his harvest.
Go on your way;
behold, I am sending you
like lambs among wolves.
Carry no money bag,
no sack, no sandals;
and greet no one
along the way.
Into whatever house
you enter, first say,
'Peace to this household.'
If a peaceful person lives there,
your peace will rest on him;
but if not,
it will return to you.
Stay in the same house
and eat and drink
what is offered to you,
for the laborer
deserves his payment.
Do not move about
from one house to another.
Whatever town you enter
and they welcome you,
eat what is set before you,
cure the sick in it
and say to them,
'The kingdom of God
is at hand for you.'
Whatever town you enter
and they do not receive you,
go out into the
streets and say,
'The dust of your town
that clings to our feet,
even that we
shake off against you.'
Yet know this:
the kingdom of God is at hand.
I tell you,
it will be more tolerable
for Sodom on that day
than for that town."
The seventy-two returned rejoicing,
and said,
"Lord, even the demons
are subject to us
because of your name."
Jesus said,
"I have observed Satan
fall like lightning from the sky.
Behold, I have given you the power
to 'tread upon serpents' and scorpions
and upon the full force of the
enemy and nothing will harm you.
Nevertheless, do not rejoice
because the spirits
are subject to you,
but rejoice because
your names are written in heaven."
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.
