Liturgy of the Word


1st Reading  Rv 7:2-4, 9-14

I, John, saw another angel

come up from the East,

holding the seal of the living God.

He cried out in a loud voice

to the four angels

who were given power to damage

the land and the sea,

“Do not damage the land

or the sea or the trees

until we put the seal on the foreheads

of the servants of our God.”

I heard the number of those who

had been marked with the seal,

one hundred and forty-four

thousand marked

from every tribe of the children

of Israel.

After this I had a vision

of a great multitude,

which no one could count

from every nation, race,
people, and tongue.

They stood before the throne

and before the Lamb,

wearing white robes

and holding palm branches
in their hands.

They cried out in a loud voice:

    “Salvation comes from our God,

who is seated
        on the throne,

and from the Lamb.”

All the angels stood

around the throne

and around the elders

and the four living creatures.

They prostrated themselves

before the throne,

worshiped God,

and exclaimed:

    “Amen.  Blessing and glory,

wisdom and thanksgiving,

        honor, power, and might

        be to our God forever and ever. 

Amen.”

Then one of the elders spoke up

and said to me,

“Who are these wearing white robes,

and where did they come from?”

I said to him,

“My lord, you are the one who knows.”

He said to me,

    “These are the ones who have

survived the time of great distress;

    they have washed their robes

    and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb.”

The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God



Responsorial Psalm

Ps 24:1bc-2, 3-4ab, 5-6

R. Lord, this is the people that

longs to see your face.

The LORD’s are the earth and its fullness;

    the world and those who dwell in it.

For he founded it upon the seas

    and established it upon the rivers.

R.    Lord, this is the people that

longs to see your face.

Who can ascend the mountain

of the LORD?

    or who may stand in his holy place?

One whose hands are sinless,

whose heart is clean,

    who desires not what is vain.

R.    Lord, this is the people that

longs to see your face.

He shall receive a blessing

from the LORD,

    a reward from God his savior.

Such is the race that seeks him,

    that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.

R.    Lord, this is the people that
longs to see your face.



2nd Reading  1 Jn 3:1-3

Beloved:
See what love the Father
has bestowed on us
that we may be called
the children of God.
Yet so we are.
The reason the world does not know us
is that it did not know Him.
Beloved,
we are God’s children now;
what we shall be
has not yet been revealed.
We do know that when
it is revealed
we shall be like Him,
for we shall see Him as He is.
Everyone who has this hope
based on Him
makes himself pure,
as He is pure.

                            
The Word of God ~Thanks be to God


 Alleluia

 
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Come to me, all you who labor

and are burdened,

and I will give you rest,

says the Lord.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia


Gospel

Lk 19:1-10

When Jesus saw the crowds,
he went up the mountain,
and after he had sat down,
his disciples came to him. 
He began to teach them, saying:
    “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
        for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
    Blessed are they who mourn,
        for they will be comforted.
    Blessed are the meek,
        for they will inherit the land.
    Blessed are they who hunger
and thirst for righteousness,
        for they will be satisfied.
    Blessed are the merciful,
        for they will be shown mercy.
    Blessed are the clean of heart,
        for they will see God.
    Blessed are the peacemakers,
        for they will be called children of God.
    Blessed are they who are persecuted
for the sake of righteousness,
        for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
    Blessed are you when they
insult you and persecute you
        and utter every kind of evil
against you falsely because of me.
    Rejoice and be glad,
        for your reward will be great in heaven.”


  ~ Praise to you

Lord Jesus Christ


Homily


Profession of Faith:

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.

Closing Song


Prayer for 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.

 ~ Amen
