Greeting

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  Ex 34:4b-6, 8-9

Early in the morning Moses went up Mount Sinai
as the LORD had commanded him,
taking along the two stone tablets.
Having come down in a cloud,
the LORD stood with Moses there and proclaimed his name, "LORD."
Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out,
"The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God,
slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity."
Moses at once bowed down to the ground in worship.
Then he said, "If I find favor with you, O Lord,
do come along in our company.
This is indeed a stiff-necked people;
yet pardon our wickedness and sins,
and receive us as your own."
The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God

GospelJn 3:16-18

God so loved the world
that he gave his only Son,

so that everyone who believes in him
might not perish but might have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son
into the world to condemn the world,

but that the world might be saved
through him.

Whoever believes in him
will not be condemned,

but whoever does not believe
has already been condemned,

because he has not believed
in the name of the only Son of God.


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.

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

Vocations Prayer

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
