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.

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading Gn 18:1-10a
Abraham by the terebinth of Mamre,
as he sat in the entrance of his tent,
while the day was growing hot.
Looking up, Abraham saw
three men standing nearby.
When he saw them,
he ran from the entrance
of the tent to greet them;
and bowing to the ground, he said:
"Sir, if I may ask you this favor,
please do not go on
past your servant.
Let some water be brought,
that you may bathe your feet,
and then rest yourselves
under the tree.
Now that you have come
this close to your servant,
let me bring you a little food,
that you may refresh yourselves;
and afterward you
may go on your way."
The men replied,
"Very well, do as you have said."
Abraham hastened into the tent
and told Sarah,
"Quick, three measures of fine flour!
Knead it and make rolls."
He ran to the herd,
picked out a tender,
choice steer,
and gave it to a servant,
who quickly prepared it.
Then Abraham got
some curds and milk,
as well as the steer
that had been prepared,
and set these
before the three men;
and he waited on them
under the tree while they ate.
They asked Abraham,
"Where is your wife Sarah?"
He replied, "There in the tent."
One of them said,
"I will surely return to you
about this time next year,
and Sarah will then have a son."

2nd Reading Col 1:24-28
Brothers and sisters:
Now I rejoice in my
sufferings for your sake,
and in my flesh I am filling up
what is lacking
in the afflictions of Christ
on behalf of his body,
which is the church,
of which I am a minister
in accordance with God's
stewardship given to me
to bring to completion
for you the word of God,
the mystery hidden from ages
and from generations past.
But now it has been
manifested to his holy ones,
to whom God chose
to make known the riches
of the glory
of this mystery
among the Gentiles;
it is Christ in you,
the hope for glory.
It is he whom we proclaim,
admonishing everyone
and teaching everyone
with all wisdom,
that we may present
everyone perfect in Christ.
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
Blessed are they who have
kept the word with a generous heart

Gospel
Jesus entered a village
where a woman whose name
was Martha welcomed him.
She had a sister named Mary
who sat beside the Lord
at his feet listening to him speak.
Martha, burdened with much serving,
came to him and said,
"Lord, do you not care
that my sister has left me
by myself to do the serving?
Tell her to help me."
The Lord said to her in reply,
"Martha, Martha, you are anxious
and worried about many things.
There is need of only one thing.
Mary has chosen the better part
and it will not be taken from her."
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.
