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.

Responsorial Psalm
Praise, you servants of the LORD,
praise the name of the LORD.
Blessed be the name of the LORD
both now and forever.
R. Praise the Lord who lifts up the poor.
High above all nations is the LORD;
above the heavens is his glory.
Who is like the LORD, our God, who is enthroned on high
and looks upon the heavens and the earth below?
R.Praise the Lord who lifts up the poor.
He raises up the lowly from the dust;
from the dunghill he lifts up the poor
to seat them with princes,
with the princes of his own people.
Have pity on your servants!
R. Praise the Lord who lifts up the poor.
2nd Reading 1 Tm 2:1-8
Beloved:
First of all, I ask that
supplications, prayers,
petitions, and thanksgivings
be offered for everyone,
for kings and for all in authority,
that we may lead a
quiet and tranquil life
in all devotion and dignity.
This is good and pleasing
to God our savior,
who wills everyone
to be saved
and to come to
knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God.
There is also one mediator
between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus,
who gave himself
as ransom for all.
This was the testimony
at the proper time.
For this I was appointed
preacher and apostle
— I am speaking the truth,
I am not lying —,
teacher of the Gentiles
in faith and truth.
It is my wish, then,
that in every place
men should pray,
lifting up holy hands,
without anger or argument.
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
Though our Lord Jesus Christ
was rich, he became poor,
so that by his poverty
you might become rich.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Gospel
Jesus said to his disciples,
"A rich man had a steward
who was reported to him
for squandering his property.
He summoned him and said,
'What is this I hear about you?
Prepare a full account
of your stewardship,
because you can no longer
be my steward.'
The steward said to himself,
'What shall I do,
now that my master is taking
the position of steward
away from me?
I am not strong enough to dig
and I am ashamed to beg.
I know what
I shall do so that,
when I am removed
from the stewardship,
they may welcome me
into their homes.'
He called in his
master's debtors
one by one.
To the first he said,
'How much do you
owe my master?'
He replied,
'One hundred measures
of olive oil.'
He said to him,
'Here is your
promissory note.
Sit down and quickly
write one for fifty.
'Then to another
the steward said,
'And you, how much
do you owe?'
He replied,
'One hundred kors of wheat.'
The steward said to him,
'Here is your promissory note;
write one for eighty.'
And the master
commended that
dishonest steward
for acting prudently.
"For the children of this world
are more prudent in dealing
with their own generation
than are the children of light.
I tell you, make friends
for yourselves
with dishonest wealth,
so that when it fails,
you will be welcomed
into eternal dwellings.
The person who
is trustworthy
in very small matters
is also trustworthy
in great ones;
and the person
who is dishonest in
very small matters
is also dishonest
in great ones.
If, therefore,
you are not trustworthy
with dishonest wealth,
who will trust you
with true wealth?
If you are not trustworthy
with what belongs to another,
who will give you
what is yours?
No servant can serve
two masters.
He will either
hate one and love the other,
or be devoted to one
and despise the other.
You cannot serve both
God and mammon."
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.

Vocational Discernment
Lord Jesus,
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.
