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.

Glory to God in the highest,

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading Sir 35:12-14, 16-18
who knows no favorites.
Though not unduly partial
toward the weak,
yet he hears the cry
of the oppressed.
The Lord is not deaf
to the wail of the orphan,
nor to the widow when
she pours out her complaint.
The one who serves
God willingly is heard;
his petition reaches
the heavens.
The prayer of the lowly
pierces the clouds;
it does not rest till
it reaches its goal,
nor will it withdraw till
the Most High responds,
judges justly and affirms the right,
and the Lord will not delay.
~Thanks be to God
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 34:2-3, 17-18, 19, 23
R. The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
I will bless the LORD
at all times;
his praise shall
be ever in my mouth.
Let my soul glory in the LORD;
the lowly will hear
me and be glad.
R.The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
The LORD confronts the evildoers,
to destroy remembrance
of them from the earth.
When the just cry out,
the LORD hears them,
and from all their distress
he rescues them.
R.The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
The LORD is close
to the brokenhearted;
and those who are crushed
in spirit he saves.
The LORD redeems
the lives of his servants;
no one incurs guilt
who takes refuge in him.
R. The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
2nd Reading 2 Tm 4:6-8, 16-18
I am already being poured
out like a libation,
and the time of my
departure is at hand.
I have competed well;
I have finished the race;
I have kept the faith.
From now on the crown
of righteousness awaits me,
which the Lord, the just judge,
will award to me on that day,
and not only to me,
but to all who have longed
for his appearance.
At my first defense no one
appeared on my behalf,
but everyone deserted me.
May it not be held
against them!
But the Lord stood by me
and gave me strength,
so that through me the
proclamation might be completed
and all the Gentiles
might hear it.
And I was rescued
from the lion's mouth.
The Lord will rescue me
from every evil threat
and will bring me safe
to his heavenly kingdom.
To him be glory
forever and ever. Amen.
Alleluia
God was reconciling the world
to himself in Christ,
and entrusting to us
the message of salvation.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Gospel
Lk 18:9-14
to those who
were convinced of their
own righteousness
and despised everyone else.
"Two people went up
to the temple area to pray;
one was a Pharisee and
the other was a tax collector.
The Pharisee took up his position
and spoke this prayer to himself,
'O God, I thank you that I am
not like the rest of humanity --
greedy, dishonest, adulterous –
or even like this tax collector.
I fast twice a week,
and I pay tithes on my whole income.'
But the tax collector stood
off at a distance
and would not even
raise his eyes to heaven
but beat his breast and prayed,
'O God, be merciful to me a sinner.'
I tell you, the latter went
home justified, not the former;
for whoever exalts himself
will be humbled,
and the one who humbles
himself will be exalted."
~ Praise to you
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.
