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 Sir 3:17-18, 20, 28-29
My child, conduct your affairs with humility,
and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts.
Humble yourself the more, the greater you are,
and you will find favor with God.
What is too sublime for you, seek not,
into things beyond your strength search not.
The mind of a sage appreciates proverbs,
and an attentive ear is the joy of the wise.
Water quenches a flaming fire,
and alms atone for sins.
~Thanks be to God
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 68:4-5, 6-7, 10-11
R. God, in your goodness,
you have made a home for the poor.
The just rejoice and exult before God;
they are glad and rejoice.
Sing to God, chant praise to his name;
whose name is the LORD.
R. God, in your goodness,
you have made a home for the poor.
The father of orphans and the defender of widows
is God in his holy dwelling.
God gives a home to the forsaken;
he leads forth prisoners to prosperity.
R. God, in your goodness,
you have made a home for the poor.
A bountiful rain you showered down,
O God, upon your inheritance;
you restored the land when it languished;
your flock settled in it;
in your goodness, O God, you provided it for the needy.
R. God, in your goodness,
you have made a home for the poor.
2nd Reading Heb 12:18-19, 22-24a
Brothers and sisters:
and a blazing fire and gloomy darkness
and storm and a trumpet blast
No, you have approached Mount Zion
and countless angels in festal gathering,
and God the judge of all,
and the spirits of the just made perfect,
and Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant,
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Take my yoke upon you, says the Lord,
and learn from me,
for I am meek and humble of heart.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Gospel
Lk 13:22-30
On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
at the home of one
of the leading Pharisees,
and the people there were
observing him carefully.
He told a parable to those
who had been invited,
noticing how they were choosing
the places of honor at the table.
"When you are invited by
someone to a wedding banquet,
do not recline at table
in the place of honor.
A more distinguished guest
than you may have
been invited by him,
and the host who invited
both of you may
approach you and say,
'Give your place to this man,'
and then you would proceed
with embarrassment
to take the lowest place.
Rather, when you are invited,
go and take the lowest place
so that when the host
comes to you he may say,
'My friend, move up
to a higher position.'
Then you will
enjoy the esteem
of your companions
at the table.
For every one who
exalts himself will be humbled,
but the one who humbles himself
will be exalted."
Then he said to the host
who invited him,
"When you hold a
lunch or a dinner,
do not invite your
friends or your brothers
or your relatives
or your wealthy neighbors,
in case they may invite
you back and you have repayment.
Rather, when you hold a banquet,
invite the poor,
the crippled,
the lame,
the blind;
blessed indeed will you be
because of their inability
to repay you.
For you will be repaid
at the resurrection
of the righteous."
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.
