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)

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,

Son,

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,

with the Holy Spirit,

in the glory of God the Father,

Glory, Glory to God in the

highest,

Glory, Glory to God in the

highest,

Liturgy of the Word

1st Reading Sirach 27:30—28:7

Wrath and anger are hateful things,

yet the sinner hugs them tight.

The vengeful will suffer the LORD’s 

vengeance,

for he remembers their sins in detail.

Forgive your neighbor’s injustice;

then when you pray, your own sins will 

be forgiven.

Could anyone nourish anger against

 another

and expect healing from the LORD?

Could anyone refuse mercy to another

 like himself,

can he seek pardon for his own sins?

If one who is but flesh cherishes wrath,

who will forgive his sins?

Remember your last days, set enmity

 aside;

remember death and decay, and cease

 from sin!

Think of the commandments, hate not

 your neighbor;

remember the Most High’s covenant,

 and overlook faults.

The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 103:1-2, 3-4, 9-10, 11-12

  

 R. (8) The Lord is kind and merciful,

slow to anger,

and rich in compassion.

Bless the LORD, O my soul;

and all my being, bless his holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul,

and forget not all his benefits.

R. The Lord is kind and merciful, slow

to anger,

and rich in compassion. He pardons all your iniquities, heals all your ills. He redeems your life from destruction, crowns you with kindness and

compassion. R. The Lord is kind and merciful,

slow to anger,

and rich in compassion. He will not always chide, nor does he keep his wrath forever. Not according to our sins does he

deal with us, nor does he requite us according to

our crimes. R. The Lord is kind and merciful, slow

to anger,

and rich in compassion. For as the heavens are high above the

earth, so surpassing is his kindness toward

those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our transgressions

from us. R. The Lord is kind and merciful, slow

to anger,

and rich in compassion.

2nd Reading Romans 14:7-9

Brothers and sisters: None of us lives for oneself, and no one

dies for oneself. For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the

Lord’s. For this is why Christ died and came to life, that he might be Lord of both the dead

and the living.

The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God

Alleluia 

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

I give you a new commandment,

says the Lord:

love one another as I have loved you.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Gospel Matthew 18:21-35

Peter approached Jesus and asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven

times

but seventy-seven times. That is why the kingdom of heaven may

be likened to a king

who decided to settle accounts with

his servants. When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who

owed him a huge amount.

Since he had no way of paying it back, his master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and

all his property, in payment of the debt. At that, the servant fell down, did him

homage, and said,

‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you

back in full.’ Moved with compassion the master

of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan. When that servant had left, he found

one of his fellow servants

who owed him a much smaller amount. He seized him and started to choke him,

demanding,

‘Pay back what you owe.’ Falling to his knees, his fellow servant

begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’ But he refused. Instead, he had the fellow servant put

in prison until he paid back the debt. Now when his fellow servants saw what had

happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to

their master

and reported the whole affair. His master summoned him and said to him,

‘You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you

begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow

servant, as I had pity on you?’ Then in anger his master handed him over

to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt. So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives your brother

from your heart.”

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.
