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 2 Mc 7:1-2, 9-14
It happened that seven brothers
with their mother were arrested
and tortured with whips
and scourges by the king,
to force them to eat pork
in violation of God's law.
One of the brothers,
speaking for the others, said:
"What do you expect to achieve
by questioning us?
We are ready to die rather
than transgress the laws
of our ancestors."
At the point of death he said:
"You accursed fiend,
you are depriving us of this present
life,but the King of the world
will raise us up to live again
forever.It is for his
laws that we are dying."
After him the third
suffered their cruel sport.
He put out his tongue
at once when told to do so,
and bravely held out his hands,
as he spoke these noble words:
"It was from Heaven that
I received these; for the sake of his
laws I disdain them; from him
I hope to receive them again."
Even the king and his attendants
marveled at the young
man's courage, because he
regarded his sufferings as nothing.
After he had died,
they tortured and
maltreated the fourth brother
in the same way.
When he was near death, he said,
"It is my choice to die at the hands
of men with the hope God gives
of being raised up by him;
but for you,
there will be no resurrection to life."
~Thanks be to God
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 17:1, 5-6, 8, 15
my joy will be full.
Hear, O LORD, a just suit;
attend to my outcry;
hearken to my prayer
from lips without deceit.
R. Lord, when your glory appears,
my joy will be full.
My steps have been steadfast
in your paths,
my feet have not faltered.
I call upon you, for you
will answer me, O God;
incline your ear to me;
hear my word.
R. Lord, when your glory appears,
my joy will be full.
Keep me as the
apple of your eye,
hide me in the shadow
of your wings.
But I in justice
shall behold your face;
on waking I shall be content
in your presence.
R. Lord, when your glory appears,
my joy will be full.

2nd Reading 2 Thes 2:16-3:5
Brothers and sisters:
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself
and God our Father,
who has loved us and given us
everlasting encouragement
and good hope through his grace,
encourage your hearts and strengthen them
in every good deed and word.
Finally, brothers and sisters,
pray for us,
so that the word of the Lord
may speed forward
and be glorified,
as it did among you,
and that we may be delivered
from perverse
and wicked people,
for not all have faith.
But the Lord is faithful;
he will strengthen you and guard
you from the evil one.
We are confident of you
in the Lord that what we instruct you,
you are doing and will continue to do.
May the Lord direct your
hearts to the love of God
and to the endurance of Christ.
Alleluia
Jesus Christ is the firstborn of the dead;
to him be glory and power, forever and ever
Gospel
Lk 20:27-38
those who deny that
there is a resurrection,
came forward and put this
question to Jesus, saying,
"Teacher, Moses wrote for us,
If someone's brother dies
leaving a wife but no child,
his brother must take the wife
and raise up descendants
for his brother.
Now there were seven brothers;
the first married a woman
but died childless.
Then the second and
the third married her,
and likewise
all the seven died childless.
Finally the woman also died.
Now at the resurrection
whose wife will that woman be?
For all seven had been
married to her."
Jesus said to them,
"The children of this age
marry and remarry;
but those who are deemed worthy
to attain to the coming age
and to the resurrection of the dead
neither marry nor are given in marriage.
They can no longer die,
for they are like angels;
and they are the children of God
because they are the ones who will rise.
That the dead will rise
even Moses made known
in the passage
about the bush,
when he called out
‘Lord, the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob’;
and he is not God of the dead,
but of the living,
for to him all are alive."
~ 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 sea ted 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.

Fulfill their desires to make a
generous gift of themselves
to others,
after your example.
Give them the loving support
of family and friends

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
