Liturgy of the Word

1st Reading

2 Sm 5:1-3

In those days, all the tribes of Israel came to David

in Hebron and said:

"Here we are, your bone and your flesh.

In days past, when Saul was our king,

it was you who led the Israelites out and

brought them back.

And the LORD said to you,

'You shall shepherd my people Israel

and shall be commander of Israel.'"

When all the elders of Israel came to David in Hebron,

King David made an agreement with them

there before the LORD,

and they anointed him king of Israel.

The Word of the Lord,

                                  ~Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 122:1-2, 3-4, 4-5

R. Let us go rejoicing

to the house of the Lord.

I rejoiced because they said to me,

"We will go up to the house of the LORD."

And now we have set foot

within your gates, O Jerusalem.

R. Let us go rejoicing

to the house of the Lord.

Jerusalem, built as a city

with compact unity.

To it the tribes go up,

the tribes of the LORD.

R. Let us go rejoicing

to the house of the Lord.

According to the decree for Israel,

to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

In it are set up judgment seats,

seats for the house of David.

R. Let us go rejoicing

to the house of the Lord..

2nd Reading

 Col 1:12-20

Brothers and sisters:

Let us give thanks to the Father,

who has made

you fit to share

in the inheritance

of the holy ones in light.

He delivered us

from the power of darkness

and transferred us to the kingdom

of his beloved Son,

in whom we have redemption,

the forgiveness of sins.

He is the image

of the invisible God,

the firstborn of all creation.

For in him were created all things

in heaven and on earth,

the visible and the invisible,

whether thrones or dominions

or principalities or powers;

all things were created

through him and for him.

He is before all things,

and in him all things

hold together.

He is the head of the body,

the church.

He is the beginning,

the firstborn from the dead,

that in all things he

himself might be preeminent.

For in him all the fullness

was pleased to dwell,

and through him to reconcile

all things for him,

making peace by the blood of his cross

through him, whether those

on earth or those in heaven.

The Word of the Lord,

                                  ~Thanks be to God

 

    

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Blessed is he who comes

in the name of the Lord!

Blessed is the kingdom of

our father David that is to come!

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Gospel

Lk 23:35-43

The rulers sneered

at Jesus and said,

"He saved others,

let him save himself

if he is the chosen one,

the Christ of God."

Even the soldiers jeered at him.

As they approached to offer

him wine they called out,

"If you are King of the Jews,

save yourself."

Above him there was

an inscription that read,

"This is the King of the Jews."

Now one of the criminals

hanging there reviled Jesus,

Saying,

"Are you not the Christ?

Save yourself and us."

The other, however,

rebuking him, said in reply,

"Have you no fear of God,

for you are subject

to the same condemnation?

And indeed, we have

been condemned justly,

for the sentence we received

corresponds to our crimes,

but this man has done

nothing criminal."

Then he said,

"Jesus, remember me

when you come

into your kingdom."

He replied to him,

"Amen, I say to you,

today you will be

with me in Paradise."

The Gospel of the Lord,

     ~ 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.

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.

And unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

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
