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 18:20-32
"The outcry against
Sodom and Gomorrah is so great,
and their sin so grave,
that I must go down and
see whether or not their actions
fully correspond to the cry
against them that comes to me.
I mean to find out."
While Abraham's visitors
walked on farther toward Sodom,
the LORD remained
standing before Abraham.
Then Abraham drew nearer and said:
"Will you sweep away
the innocent with the guilty?
Suppose there were fifty
innocent people in the city;
would you wipe out the place,
rather than spare it
for the sake of the
fifty innocent people within it?
Far be it from you
to do such a thing,
to make the innocent
die with the guilty
so that the innocent and
the guilty would be treated alike!
Should not the judge
of all the world act with justice?"
The LORD replied,
"If I find fifty innocent people
in the city of Sodom,
I will spare the whole
Abraham spoke up again:
"See how I am presuming
though I am
What if there are five less
Will you destroy the whole city
He answered,
But Abraham persisted,
He replied,
Then Abraham said,
What if only thirty
He replied,
Still Abraham went on,
"Since I have thus dared
what if there are
The LORD answered,
But he still persisted:
"Please, let not my Lord
What if there are
He replied,
~Thanks be to God
Responsorial Psalm Ps 138:1-2, 2-3, 6-7, 7-8
you answered me.
I will give thanks to you,
O LORD, with all my heart,
for you have heard
the words of my mouth;
in the presence of the
angels I will sing your praise;
I will worship at your holy temple
and give thanks to your name.
R. Lord, on the day I called for help,
you answered me.
Because of your kindness
and your truth;
for you have made
great above all things
your name and your promise.
When I called you
answered me;
you built up
strength within me.
R. Lord, on the day I called for help,
you answered me.
The LORD is exalted,
yet the lowly he sees,
and the proud he knows from afar.
Though I walk amid
distress, you preserve me;
against the anger of my
enemies you raise your hand.
R. Lord, on the day I called for help,
you answered me.
Your right hand saves me.
The LORD will complete
what he has done for me;
your kindness,
O LORD, endures forever;
forsake not the
work of your hands.
R. Lord, on the day I called for help,
you answered me..
2nd Reading Col 2:12-14
Brothers and sisters:
in which you were
through faith
who raised him
And even when
in transgressions and
he brought you
having forgiven us
obliterating the bond against us,
which was opposed to us,
he also removed it
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
You have received a Spirit of adoption,
through which we cry, Abba, Father.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia
Gospel
Jesus was praying
in a certain place,
and when he had finished,
one of his disciples said to him,
"Lord, teach us to pray
just as John taught his disciples."
He said to them,
"When you pray, say:
Father, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
Give us each day
our daily bread
and forgive us our sins
for we ourselves
forgive everyone
in debt to us,
and do not subject
us to the final test."
And he said to them,
"Suppose one of
you has a friend
to whom he goes
at midnight and says,
'Friend, lend me three loaves
of bread, for a friend of mine
has arrived at my house
from a journey
and I have nothing
to offer him,'
and he says in reply from within,
'Do not bother me;
the door has already been locked
and my children and
I are already in bed.
I cannot get up to give you anything.'
I tell you, if he does not get up
to give the visitor the loaves
because of their friendship,
he will get up to give him whatever
he needs because
of his persistence.
"And I tell you,
ask and you will receive;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door
will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives;
and the one who seeks, finds;
and to the one who knocks,
the door will be opened.
What father among you
would hand his son a snake
when he asks for a fish?
Or hand him a scorpion
when he asks for an egg?
If you then,
who are wicked,
know how to give
good gifts to your children,
how much more
will the Father in heaven
give the Holy Spirit
to those who ask him?"
The Gospel of the Lord,
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.
