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 Jer 38:4-6, 8-10
In those days, the princes
said to the king:
"Jeremiah ought to be
put to death;
he is demoralizing the soldiers
who are left in this city,
and all the people, by speaking
such things to them;
he is not interested in the welfare
of our people,
but in their ruin."
King Zedekiah answered:
"He is in your power";
for the king could do
nothing with them.
And so they took Jeremiah
and threw him into the cistern
of Prince Malchiah,
which was in the quarters
of the guard,
letting him down with ropes.
There was no water
in the cistern, only mud,
and Jeremiah sank into the mud.
Ebed-melech,
a court official,
went there from the
palace and said to him:
"My lord king,
these men have
been at fault
in all they have done
to the prophet Jeremiah,
casting him into
the cistern.
He will die of famine
on the spot,
for there is no more
food in the city."
Then the king ordered
Ebed-melech the Cushite
to take three men
along with him,
and draw the prophet Jeremiah
out of the cistern before
he should die.
~Thanks be to God
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 40:2, 3, 4, 18
R. Lord, come to my aid!
I have waited, waited for the LORD,
and he stooped toward me.
R. Lord, come to my aid!
The LORD heard my cry.
He drew me out of the pit of destruction,
out of the mud of the swamp;
he set my feet upon a crag;
he made firm my steps.
R. Lord, come to my aid!
And he put a new song into my mouth,
a hymn to our God.
Many shall look on in awe
and trust in the LORD.
R. Lord, come to my aid!
Though I am afflicted and poor,
yet the LORD thinks of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O my God, hold not back!
R. Lord, come to my aid!
2nd Reading Heb 12:1-4
Since we are surrounded by so
great a cloud of witnesses,
let us rid ourselves
of every burden
and sin that clings to us
and has taken his
seat at the right
of the throne of God.
Consider how he endured
such opposition from sinners,
in order that you
may not grow weary
and lose heart.
you have not yet
resisted to the point
of shedding blood.
and persevere in running
the race that lies before us
while keeping our eyes
fixed on Jesus,
the leader and perfecter of faith.
For the sake of the joy
that lay before him
he endured the cross,
despising its shame,
In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted
to the point of shedding blood.
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
My sheep hear my voice,
says the Lord;
I know them,
and they follow me.

Gospel
Lk 12:49-53
"I have come to set
and how I wish it
There is a baptism with
which I must be baptized,
and how great
until it is accomplished!
Do you think that
to establish
No, I tell you,
From now on a household
of five will be divided,
three against two
a father will be divided
and a son
a mother against
and a daughter
a mother-in-law
and a daughter-in-law
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.

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.

Prayer for Vocational Discernment
You said to your disciples,
"i am the way the truth and the life." Give young people the gift of discernment, to find their way and embrace their true vocation, the life for which you have created them. In all that lies before them, help them discern a life that is pleasing to you, whether to Christian marriage, to priesthood, or the consecrated religious life. Send your Holy Spirit to inspire them. Grant them the grace to embrace a life of joyful service. Fulfill their desires to make a
generous gift of themselves to others, after your example. Give them the loving support of family and friends as they prayerfully discern their vocation in this life. We ask this through Christ our Lord. ~ Amen
