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.
-AND/OR-
Lord have Mercy,

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading Ecc 1:2; 2:21-23
Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth,
vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!
Here is one who has labored with wisdom and knowledge and skill,
and yet to another who has not labored over it,
he must leave property.
This also is vanity and a great misfortune.
For what profit comes to man from all the toil and anxiety of heart
with which he has labored under the sun?
All his days sorrow and grief are his occupation;
even at night his mind is not at rest.
This also is vanity.
~Thanks be to God
Responsorial Psalm Ps 90:3-4, 5-6, 12-13, 14 and 17
R. If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.
You turn man back to dust,
saying, “Return, O children of men.”
For a thousand years in your sight
are as yesterday, now that it is past,
or as a watch of the night.
R. If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.
You make an end of them in their sleep;
the next morning they are
like the changing grass,
Which at dawn springs up anew,
but by evening wilts and fades.
R. If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.
Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain wisdom of heart.
Return, O LORD! How long?
Have pity on your servants!
R. If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.
Fill us at daybreak with your kindness,
that we may shout for joy
and gladness all our days.
And may the gracious care
of the LORD our God be ours;
prosper the work of our hands for us!
Prosper the work of our hands!
R. If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.
2nd Reading Col 3:1-5, 9-11
Brothers and sisters:
If you were raised with Christ,
seek what is above,
where Christ is seated
at the right hand of God.
Think of what is above,
not of what is on earth.
For you have died,
and your life is hidden
with Christ in God.
When Christ your life appears,
then you too will appear
with him in glory.
Put to death, then,
the parts of you
that are earthly:
immorality, impurity,
passion, evil desire,
and the greed that is idolatry.
Stop lying to one another,
since you have taken off
the old self
with its practices
and have put on the new self,
which is being renewed,
for knowledge,
in the image of its creator.
Here there is not Greek and Jew,
circumcision and uncircumcision,
barbarian, Scythian, slave, free;
but Christ is all and in all.
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Gospel
Lk 12:13-21
Someone in the crowd
said to Jesus,
“Teacher, tell my brother to share
the inheritance with me.”
He replied to him,
“Friend, who appointed me
as your judge and arbitrator?”
Then he said to the crowd,
“Take care to guard
against all greed,
for though one may be rich,
one’s life does not consist
of possessions.”
Then he told them a parable.
“There was a rich man
whose land produced
a bountiful harvest.
He asked himself,
‘What shall I do,
for I do not have space
to store my harvest?’
And he said,
‘This is what I shall do:
I shall tear down my barns
and build larger ones.
There I shall store
all my grain and other goods
and I shall say to myself,
“Now as for you,
you have so many
good things stored up
for many years,
rest, eat, drink, be merry!”’
But God said to him,
‘You fool, this night your life
will be demanded of you;
and the things you have prepared,
to whom will they belong?’
Thus will it be for all
who store up treasure for themselves
but are not rich in what matters to God.”
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.

My Jesus, I believe that you are present
