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.

-AND/OR-

Lord have Mercy, (Kyrie elieson)

Christ have Mercy, (Criste elieson)

Lord have Mercy (Kyrie elieson)

and on earth peace to people of good will.

We praise you, we bless you,

we adore you, we glorify you,

We give you thanks for your great glory,

Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father.

Lord, Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,

Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,

You take away the sins of the world,

have mercy on us;

you take away the sins of the world,

receive our prayer;

you are seated at the right hand of the Father,

have mercy on us.

For you alone are the Holy One,

you alone are the Lord,

you alone are the Most High,

Jesus Christ,

in the glory of God the Father,

Glory, Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace to people of good will

Liturgy of the Word

1st Reading 1 Kings 19:9a, 11-13a

At the mountain of God, Horeb,

Elijah came to a cave where he took shelter.

Then the LORD said to him,

“Go outside and stand on the mountain

before the LORD;

the LORD will be passing by.”

A strong and heavy wind was rending the

mountains

and crushing rocks before the LORD—

but the LORD was not in the wind.

After the wind there was an earthquake—

but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

After the earthquake there was fire—

but the LORD was not in the fire.

After the fire there was a tiny whispering

sound.

When he heard this,

Elijah hid his face in his cloak

and went and stood at the entrance of

the cave.

The Word of the Lord,

~Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm 

Psalm 85:9, 10, 11-12, 13-14

R. (8) Lord, let us see your kindness, and

 grant us your salvation.

I will hear what God proclaims;

the LORD — for he proclaims peace.

Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,

glory dwelling in our land.

R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and
grant us your salvation.

Kindness and truth shall meet;

justice and peace shall kiss.

Truth shall spring out of the earth,

and justice shall look down from heaven.

R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and
grant us your salvation.

The LORD himself will give his benefits;

our land shall yield its increase.

Justice shall walk before him,

and prepare the way of his steps.

R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and
grant us your salvation.

2nd Reading Romans 9:1-5 Brothers and sisters:

I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie;

my conscience joins with the Holy Spirit

in bearing me witness

that I have great sorrow and constant

anguish in my heart.

For I could wish that I myself were

accursed and cut off from Christ

for the sake of my own people,

my kindred according to the flesh.

They are Israelites;

theirs the adoption, the glory, the

covenants,

the giving of the law, the worship, and

the promises;

theirs the patriarchs, and from them,

according to the flesh, is the Christ,

who is over all, God blessed forever.

Amen.

The Word of the Lord,

~Thanks be to God

Alleluia 

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for his word.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Gospel Matthew 14:22-33

After he had fed the people, Jesus made the

disciples get into a boat

and precede him to the other side,

while he dismissed the crowds.

After doing so, he went up on the mountain by

himself to pray.

When it was evening he was there alone.

Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore,

was being tossed about by the waves, for the

wind was against it.

During the fourth watch of the night,

he came toward them walking on the sea.

When the disciples saw him walking on the sea

they were terrified.

“It is a ghost,” they said, and they cried out in fear.

At once Jesus spoke to them, “Take courage,

it is I; do not be afraid.”

Peter said to him in reply,

“Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you

on the water.”

He said, “Come.”

Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on

the water toward Jesus.

But when he saw how strong the wind was he

became frightened;

and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and

caught Peter,

and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you

doubt?”

After they got into the boat, the wind died down.

Those who were in the boat did him homage,

saying,

“Truly, you are the 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.
