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 Ex 32:7-11, 13-14
"Go down at once to your people,
whom you brought out
for they have become depraved.
They have soon turned aside
making for themselves
sacrificing to it and crying out,
'This is your God, O Israel,
who brought you out
"I see how stiff-necked this people is,"
that my wrath may blaze up
Then I will make of you a great nation."
But Moses implored
the LORD, his God, saying,
"Why, O LORD, should your wrath
blaze up against your own people,
whom you brought out
of the land of Egypt
with such great power
and with so strong a hand?
Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel,
and how you swore to them
by your own self, saying,
'I will make your descendants
as numerous as the stars in the sky;
and all this land that I promised,
I will give your descendants
as their perpetual heritage.'"
So the LORD relented
in the punishment
he had threatened
to inflict on his people.
~Thanks be to God
Responsorial Psalm
R. I will rise and go to my father.
Have mercy on me,
O God, in your goodness;
in the greatness of your
compassion wipe out my offense.
Thoroughly wash
me from my guilt
and of my sin cleanse me.
R. I will rise and go to my father.
A clean heart
create for me, O God,
and a steadfast spirit
renew within me.
Cast me not out from
your presence,
and your Holy Spirit
take not from me.
R. I will rise and go to my father.
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. I will rise and go to my father.
O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth shall
proclaim your praise.
My sacrifice, O God,
is a contrite spirit;
a heart contrite and humbled,
O God, you will not spurn.
R. I will rise and go to my father.
2nd Reading 1 Tm 1:12-17
Beloved:
I am grateful to him
who has strengthened me,
Christ Jesus our Lord,
because he considered
me trustworthy
in appointing me
to the ministry.
I was once a blasphemer
and a persecutor
and arrogant,
but I have been
mercifully treated
because I acted out
of ignorance in my unbelief.
Indeed, the grace
of our Lord has
been abundant,
along with the faith
love that are
in Christ Jesus.
This saying is trustworthy
and deserves full acceptance:
Christ Jesus came
into the world to save sinners.
Of these I am the foremost.
But for that reason
I was mercifully treated,
so that in me,
as the foremost,
Christ Jesus might display
all his patience as an example
for those who would
come to believe in him
for everlasting life.
To the king of ages,
incorruptible, invisible,
the only God,
honor and glory
forever and ever. Amen.
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
God was reconciling the world
to himself in Christ
and entrusting to us
the message of reconciliation.

Gospel
Tax collectors and sinners were
all drawing near to listen to Jesus,
but the Pharisees and scribes
began to complain, saying,
“This man welcomes sinners
and eats with them.”
So to them he addressed this parable.
“What man among you having
a hundred sheep
and losing one of them
would not leave the
ninety-nine in the desert
and go after the lost one
until he finds it?
And when he does find it,
he sets it on his
shoulders with great joy
and, upon his arrival home,
he calls together his friends
and neighbors and says to them,
‘Rejoice with me because
I have found my lost sheep.’
I tell you, in just the same way
there will be more joy in heaven
over one sinner who repents
than over ninety-nine righteous people
who have no need of repentance.
“Or what woman having
ten coins and losing one
would not light a lamp
and sweep the house,
searching carefully
until she finds it?
And when she does find it,
she calls together
her friends and neighbors
and says to them,
‘Rejoice with me because
I have found the coin that I lost.’
In just the same way, I tell you,
there will be rejoicing
among the angels of God
over one sinner who repents.”
Then he said,
“A man had two sons,
and the younger son
said to his father,
‘Father give me the share
of your estate that
should come to me.’
So the father divided
the property between them.
After a few days, the younger son
collected all his belongings
and set off to a distant country
where he squandered
his inheritance on
a life of dissipation.
When he had freely
spent everything,
a severe famine
struck that country,
and he found himself
in dire need.
So he hired himself
out to one of the local citizens
who sent him to his farm
to tend the swine.
And he longed to eat
his fill of the pods
on which the swine fed,
but nobody gave him any.
Coming to his senses
he thought,
‘How many of my
father’s hired workers
have more than
enough food to eat,
but here am I,
dying from hunger.
I shall get up and go to my father
and I shall say to him,
“Father, I have sinned
against heaven and against you.
I no longer deserve
to be called your son;
treat me as you would treat
one of your hired workers.”’
So he got up and
went back to his father.
While he was
a long way off,
his father caught sight of him,
and was filled
with compassion.
He ran to his son,
embraced him
and kissed him.
His son said to him,
‘Father, I have sinned
against heaven
and against you;
I no longer deserve
to be called your son.’
But his father
ordered his servants,
‘Quickly bring the finest robe
and put it on him;
put a ring on his finger
and sandals on his feet.
Take the fattened calf
and slaughter it.
Then let us
celebrate with a feast,
because this son of mine was dead,
and has come to life again;
he was lost, and has been found.’
Then the celebration began.
Now the older son
had been out in the field
and, on his way back,
as he neared the house,
he heard the sound
of music and dancing.
He called one of the servants
and asked what this might mean.
The servant said to him,
‘Your brother has returned
and your father has
slaughtered the fattened calf
because he has him
back safe and sound.’
He became angry,
and when he refused
to enter the house,
his father came out
and pleaded with him.
He said to his father in reply,
‘Look, all these years I served you
and not once did
I disobey your orders;
yet you never gave me even
a young goat to feast on with my friends.
But when your son returns,
who swallowed up your
property with prostitutes,
for him you slaughter
the fattened calf.’
He said to him,
‘My son, you are
here with me always;
everything I have is yours.
But now we must
celebrate and rejoice,
because your brother was dead
and has come to life again;
he was lost and has been found.’”
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.

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.
