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  Wis 11:22-12:2

Before the LORD the
whole universe is as a
grain from a balance 
or a drop of morning dew
come down upon the earth.
But you have mercy on all,
because you can do all things; 
and you overlook people's sins
that they may repent.
For you love all things
that are and loathe nothing
that you have made; 
for what you hated, you
would not have fashioned.
And how could a thing remain,
unless you willed it;
or be preserved,
had it not been called forth by you?
But you spare all things,
because they are yours,
O LORD and lover of souls,
for your imperishable spirit is in all things!
Therefore you rebuke offenders little by little,
warn them and remind them of the sins
they are committing,
that they may abandon their wickedness
and believe in you, O LORD!

The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God

Brothers and sisters:

We always pray for you,

that our God may make

calling and powerfully

bring to fulfillment every
good purpose

and every effort of faith,

We ask you,

with regard to the coming

of our Lord Jesus Christ

and our assembling with him,

not to be shaken
out of your minds suddenly,

or to be alarmed

either by a "spirit,"

or by an oral statement,

or by a letter allegedly from us

to the effect that the day

of the Lord is at hand.

Gospel

Lk 19:1-10

At that time, Jesus came to Jericho
and intended to pass
through the town.
Now a man there named Zacchaeus,
who was a chief tax
collector and also a wealthy man,
was seeking to see who Jesus was;
but he could not see him
because of the crowd,
for he was short in stature.
So he ran ahead and climbed
a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus,
who was about to pass that way.
When he reached the place,
Jesus looked up and said,
"Zacchaeus, come down quickly,
for today I must stay at your house."
And he came down quickly
and received him with joy.
When they all saw this,
they began to grumble, saying,
"He has gone to stay
at the house of a sinner."
But Zacchaeus stood there
and said to the Lord,
"Behold, half of my possessions, Lord,
I shall give to the poor,
and if I have extorted anything from anyone
I shall repay it four times over."
And Jesus said to him,
"Today salvation has come to this house
because this man too
is a descendant of Abraham.
For the Son of Man has come to
seek and to save what was lost."

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.


Concluding Rite

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
