PrefaceThroughout all generations, the God Whom we worship has given us a model of self-emptying love that requires a response of nothing less than our highest and best: in our prayer, in our ritual, in our song, and in our lives.

The Book of Sacred Liturgy: Sundays, Feasts and Solemnities provides the English-speaking membership of the Roman Catholic Church with a permanent, dignified and comprehensive pew book of ritual, prayer and music. Bringing together under one cover the components of Sacred Liturgy that are necessary for the faithful to fully and actively participate in the sacramental life of the Church, the Book of Sacred Liturgy represents an historical movement to higher ground in the ongoing work of liturgical reform.

Liturgists remind us: Lex credendi, lex orandi; lex orandi, lex credendi. We express our faith in our prayer; and, our prayer informs and forms our faith. Compiling the prayers, orders and rituals of our Eucharistic tradition constructs and provides an inestimable treasure that is at once accessible to the faithful.

Though there are compelling arguments for simply hearing and receiving Word and ritual, there is tremendous merit in providing printed texts of prayer and Scripture. Scientific and educational data has revealed that viewing written texts significantly increases both comprehension and retention; and, although many parishes work heroically to improve sound systems, train lectors and cantors, provide listening aids to the hearing impaired,

improve enunciation in leadership of prayer, and compensate for linguistic and cultural differences, there will always be a need for well-ordered and complete texts to aid in the participation of the faithful.

The Book of Sacred Liturgy is an instrument of unity and clarity for parishes in the United States. In addition to the prayers and orders of Eucharist, the Book of Sacred Liturgy includes full Lectionary readings for all Sundays, Feasts and Solemnities, with each verse before the Gospel as well as the entrance and Communion antiphons. Moreover, by including the Rites of the Sacraments within Mass, the Book of Sacred Liturgyaffords the faithful dignified and permanent access to the prayers therein, while encouraging the use of these rites within Mass, where they most properly belong.

Planning, compiling and editing the Book of Sacred Liturgy required the gifts, insights and dedication of many extraordinarily talented contributors. Theologians, presbyters, liturgists, musicians and scholars each made unique offerings to this monumental work. Most importantly, at the heart of this work lives a simple vision: a faithful, complete, refined, cost-effective, useful Catholic book of prayer, ritual, and music.

May the Book of Sacred Liturgy bless you and your parish. Together, may we compromise nothing in our praise of the God Who loves us without compromise.

After brief silence, all recite the general confession: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,

And, striking their breast, they say:through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault;

Then they continue: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.

— Eucharistic Prayer for Reconciliation II — 43

Saints among the Saints in the halls of heaven, with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, the blessed Apostles and all the Saints, and with our deceased brothers and sisters, whom we humbly commend to your mercy.Then, freed at last from the wound of corruption and made fully into a new creation, we shall sing to you with gladness the thanksgiving of Christ, who lives for all eternity.Through him, and with him, and in him, � God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever.R/ Amen.Then follows the Communion Rite on page 35.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER FOR RECONCILIATION IIThe Priest begins the Eucharistic Prayer. Extending his hands, he says:V/ The Lord be with you.R/ And with your spirit.V/ Lift up your hearts.R/ We lift them up to the Lord.V/ Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.R/ It is right and just.It is truly right and just that we should give you thanks and praise, � God, almighty Father, for all you do in this world, through our Lord Jesus Christ.For though the human race is divided by dissension and discord, yet we know that by testing us you change our hearts to prepare them for reconciliation.Even more, by your Spirit you move human hearts that enemies may speak to each other again, adversaries join hands, and peoples seek to meet together.By the working of your power it comes about, � Lord,

that hatred is overcome by love, revenge gives way to forgiveness, and discord is changed to mutual respect.Therefore, as we give you ceaseless thanks with the choirs of heaven, we cry out to your majesty on earth, and without end we acclaim:Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.All kneel.You, therefore, almighty Father, we bless through Jesus Christ your Son, who comes in your name. He himself is the Word that brings salvation, the hand you extend to sinners, the way by which your peace is offered to us. When we ourselves had turned away from you on account of our sins, you brought us back to be reconciled, � Lord, so that, converted at last to you, we might love one another through your Son, whom for our sake you handed over to death.And now, celebrating the reconciliation Christ has brought us, we entreat you: sanctify these gifts by the outpouring of your Spirit, that they may become the Body and @ Blood of your Son, whose command we fulfill when we celebrate these mysteries.For when about to give his life to set us free, as he reclined at supper, he himself took bread into his hands, and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing, broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying:Take this, all o f y ou, and ea t o f it , fo r this is my B ody, which will be given up fo r y ou.

In a similar way, on that same evening, he took the chalice of blessing in his hands,

SAMPLE

confessing your mercy, and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying:Take this, all o f y ou, and d r ink fr om it, fo r this is the ch alice o f my B l o od, the B l o od o f the ne w and e ter nal c oven ant , which will be p our ed o ut fo r y ou and fo r many fo r the fo r giveness o f s ins. Do this in mem or y o f me.

Then the Priest says: The mystery of faith.And the people continue, acclaiming:

We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.

or:� When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your Death, O Lord, until you come again.

or:� Save us, Savior of the world, for by your Cross and Resurrection you have set us free.

Celebrating, therefore, the memorial of the Death and Resurrection of your Son, who left us this pledge of his love, we offer you what you have bestowed on us, the Sacrifice of perfect reconciliation.Holy Father, we humbly beseech you to accept us also, together with your Son, and in this saving banquet graciously to endow us with his very Spirit, who takes away everything that estranges us from one another.May he make your Church a sign of unity and an instrument of your peace among all people and may he keep us in communion with N. our Pope and N. our Bishop and all the Bishops and your entire people.Just as you have gathered us now at the table of your Son, so also bring us together, with the glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with your blessed Apostles and all the Saints, with our brothers and sisters and those of every race and tongue

EXORCISMAfter the intercessions, the rite continues with one of the following exorcisms.

Opt ion 1Facing the elect, the celebrant says:God of power, you sent your Son to be our Savior. Grant that these catechumens, who, like the woman of Samaria, thirst for living water, may turn to the Lord as they hear his word and acknowledge the sins and weaknesses that weigh them down.Protect them from vain reliance on self and defend them from the power of Satan.Free them from the spirit of deceit, so that, admitting the wrong they have done, they may attain purity of heart and advance on the way to salvation. We ask this through Christ our Lord.R/ Amen.

The celebrant lays hands on each one of the elect. Then, with hands outstretched over all of the elect, he continues:Lord Jesus, you are the fountain for which they thirst, you are the Master whom they seek. In your presence they dare not claim to be without sin, for you alone are the Holy �ne of God.They open their hearts to you in faith, they confess their faults and lay bare their hidden wounds. In your love, free them from their infirmities, heal their sickness, quench their thirst, and give them peace.In the power of your name, which we call upon in faith, stand by them now and heal them. Rule over that spirit of evil, conquered by your rising from the dead.Show your elect the way of salvation in the Holy Spirit, that they may come to worship the Father in truth, for you live and reign for ever and ever.R/ Amen.

Opt ion 2Facing the elect, the celebrant says:All-merciful Father, through your Son you revealed your mercy to the woman of Samaria; and moved by that same care you have offered salvation to all sinners.Look favorably on these elect, who desire to become your adopted children through the power of your sacraments.Free them from the slavery of sin, and for Satan’s crushing yoke exchange the gentle yoke of Jesus.Protect them in every danger, that they may serve you faithfully in peace and joy and render you thanks for ever.R/ Amen.

The celebrant lays hands on each one of the elect. Then, with hands outstretched over the elect, he continues:Lord Jesus, in your merciful wisdom you touched the heart of the sinful woman and taught her to worship the Father in spirit and in truth.Now, by your power, free these elect from the cunning of Satan, as they draw near to the fountain of living water.Touch their hearts with the power of the Holy Spirit, that they may come to know the Father in true faith, which expresses itself in love, for you live and reign for ever and ever.R/ Amen.

An appropriate chant may be sung at this time.

DISMISSAL OF THE ELECTAt this time within the Liturgy, the elect are normally dismissed. When dismissing the elect, the celebrant says one of the following prayers:

Dear elect, go in peace, and join us again at the next scrutiny. May the Lord remain with you always.The elect: Amen.

�r:� My dear friends, this community now sends you forth to reflect more deeply upon the word of God which you have shared with us today. Be assured of our loving support and prayers for you. We look forward to the day when you will share fully in the Lord’s Table.

�r, if the elect cannot leave, they are instructed that they cannot take part in the eucharist as the baptized take part in it, as the celebrant says:

Although you cannot yet participate fully in the Lord’s eucharist, stay with us as a sign of our hope that all God’s children will eat and drink with the Lord and work with his Spirit to re-create the face of the earth.

If the eucharist is not to be celebrated, those present will be dismissed in this way, after which a hymn or song may conclude the celebration:

Go in peace, and may the Lord remain with you always.R/ Thanks be to God.

& œ œ œ œ œ œThanks be to God.

SECOND READING Romans 13:11-14 Our salvation is nearer. Brothers and sisters: You know the time; it is the hour now for you to awake from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed; the night is advanced, the day is at hand. Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and lust, not in rivalry and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf. Psalm 85:8

Show us, Lord, your love; and grant us your salvation. R/

GOSPEL Matthew 24:37-44 Stay awake, that you may be prepared! Jesus said to his disciples: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. In those days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day that Noah entered the ark. They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away. So will it be also at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be out in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left. Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” COMMUNION ANTIPHON Psalm 85 (84):13 The Lord will bestow his bounty, and our earth shall yield its increase.

and the Lord will make the glory of his voice heard in the joy of your heart. FIRST READING Isaiah 11:1-10 He shall judge the poor with justice. On that day, a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom. The spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him: a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, a spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the LORD, and his delight shall be the fear of the LORD. Not by appearance shall he judge, nor by hearsay shall he decide, but he shall judge the poor with justice, and decide aright for the land’s afflicted. He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked. Justice shall be the band around his waist,

and faithfulness a belt upon his hips. Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; the calf and the young lion shall browse together, with a little child to guide them. The cow and the bear shall be neighbors, together their young shall rest; the lion shall eat hay like the ox. The baby shall play by the cobra’s den, and the child lay his hand on the adder’s lair. There shall be no harm or ruin on all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the LORD, as water covers the sea. On that day, the root of Jesse, set up as a signal for the nations, the Gentiles shall seek out, for his dwelling shall be glorious.

SECOND READING Romans 15:4-9 Christ saves everyone. Brothers and sisters: Whatever was written previously was written for our instruction, that by endurance and by the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you, for the glory of God. For I say that Christ became a minister of the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, to confirm the promises to the patriarchs, but so that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:

Therefore, I will praise you among the Gentiles and sing praises to your name.

region around the Jordan were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they acknowledged their sins. When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance. And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God can raise up children to Abraham from these stones. Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in his hand. He will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” COMMUNION ANTIPHON Baruch 5:5; 4:36 Jerusalem, arise and stand upon the heights, and behold the joy which comes to you from God. THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT – Year A ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Philippians 4:4-5 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Indeed, the Lord is near. FIRST READING Isaiah 35:1-6a, 10 God himself will come to save us. The desert and the parched land will exult; the steppe will rejoice and bloom. They will bloom with abundant flowers, and rejoice with joyful song. The glory of Lebanon will be given to them, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God. Strengthen the hands that are feeble, make firm the knees that are weak, say to those whose hearts are frightened: Be strong, fear not! Here is your God, he comes with vindication;

with divine recompense he comes to save you. Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared; then will the lame leap like a stag, then the tongue of the mute will sing.

Those whom the LORD has ransomed will return and enter Zion singing, crowned with everlasting joy; they will meet with joy and gladness, sorrow and mourning will flee.

And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.” As they were going off, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, “What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind? Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine clothing? Those who wear fine clothing are in royal palaces. Then why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written:

SECOND READING Romans 1:1-7 Jesus Christ, descended from David, is the Son of God. Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised previously through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, the gospel about his Son, descended from David according to the flesh, but established as Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness through resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord. Through him we have received the grace of apostleship, to bring about the obedience of faith, for the sake of his name, among all the Gentiles, among whom are you also, who are called to belong to Jesus Christ; to all the beloved of God in Rome, called to be holy. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Matthew 1:23

The virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel. R/

GOSPEL Matthew 1:18-24 Jesus will be born of Mary, the betrothed of Joseph, a son of David. This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.

SECOND READING Acts 13:16-17, 22-25 Paul bears witness to Christ, the Son of David. When Paul reached Antioch in Pisidia and entered the synagogue, he stood up, motioned with his hand, and said, “Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen. The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt. With uplifted arm he led them out of it. Then he removed Saul and raised up David as king; of him he testified, ‘I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.’ From this man’s descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus. John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel; and as John was completing his course, he would say, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.’” GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

GOSPEL Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23 Take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt. When the magi had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him.” Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt. He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, Out of Egypt I called my son. When Herod had died, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child’s life are dead.” He rose, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go back there. And because he had been warned in a dream, he departed for the region of Galilee. He went and dwelt in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, He shall be called a Nazorean.

SECOND SUNDAY AFTER CHRISTMAS – Year A ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Wisdom 18:14-15 When a profound silence covered all things and night was in the middle of its course, your all-powerful Word, O Lord, bounded from heaven's royal throne. FIRST READING Sirach 24:1-2, 8-12 The wisdom of God lives in his people. Wisdom sings her own praises and is honored in God, before her own people she boasts; in the assembly of the Most High she opens her mouth, in the presence of his power she declares her worth, in the midst of her people she is exalted, in holy fullness she is admired; in the multitude of the chosen she finds praise, and among the blessed she is blessed.

“The Creator of all commanded and said to me, and he who formed me chose the spot for my tent, saying, ‘In Jacob make your dwelling,

in Israel your inheritance, and among my chosen put down your roots’.

“Before all ages, in the beginning, he created me, and through all ages I shall not cease to be. In the holy tent I ministered before him, and in Zion I fixed my abode. Thus in the chosen city I have rested, in Jerusalem is my domain. I have struck root among a glorious people, in the portion of the LORD, his heritage; and in the company of the holy ones do I linger.”


Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion. For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you. R/

He has granted peace in your borders; with the best of wheat he fills you.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him. In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will, for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved. Therefore, I, too, hearing of your faith in the Lord Jesus and of your love for all the holy ones, do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.

He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him.

But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by man’s decision but of God.

And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.]

John testified to him and cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.’” From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace, because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

GOSPEL Matthew 2:1-12 We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage. When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.” When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet: And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel.” Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star’s appearance. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage.” After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way. COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Matthew 2:2 We have seen his star in the East, and have come with gifts to adore the Lord.

or (at the Vigil Mass) cf. Revelation 21:23 The brightness of God illumined the holy city Jerusalem, and the nations will walk by its light. BAPTISM OF THE LORD – Year A Sunday after January 6.

SECOND READING Philippians 2:6-11 Christ humbled himself. Because of this God greatly exalted him. Christ Jesus, though he was in the form

of God, did not regard equality with God

something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself,

taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of

death,

even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him

and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

house I shall celebrate the Passover with my disciples.”’”

N The disciples then did as Jesus had ordered, and prepared the Passover.

When it was evening, he reclined at table with the Twelve. And while they were eating, he said,

+ “Amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”

N Deeply distressed at this, they began to say to him one after another,

V “Surely it is not I, Lord?” N He said in reply, + “He who has dipped his hand into the

dish with me is the one who will betray me. The Son of Man indeed goes, as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born.”

N Then Judas, his betrayer, said in reply,

V “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” N He answered, + “You have said so.”

N While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said,

+ “Take and eat; this is my body.” N Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and

gave it to them, saying, + “Drink from it, all of you, for this is

my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, from now on I shall not drink this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father.”

N Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Then Jesus said to them, + “This night all of you will have your

faith in me shaken, for it is written: I will strike the shepherd,

and the sheep of the flock will be dispersed;

but after I have been raised up, I shall go before you to Galilee.”

N Peter said to him in reply, V “Though all may have their faith in

you shaken, mine will never be.” N Jesus said to him, + “Amen, I say to you, this very night

before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.”

N Peter said to him, V “Even though I should have to die

with you, I will not deny you.” N And all the disciples spoke likewise.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples,

+ “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

N He took along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to feel sorrow and distress. Then he said to them,

+ “My soul is sorrowful even to death. Remain here and keep watch with me.”

N He advanced a little and fell prostrate in prayer, saying,

+ “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet, not as I will, but as you will.”

N When he returned to his disciples he found them asleep. He said to Peter,

+ “So you could not keep watch with me for one hour? Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

N Withdrawing a second time, he prayed again,

+ “My Father, if it is not possible that this cup pass without my drinking it, your will be done!”

N Then he returned once more and found them asleep, for they could not keep their eyes open. He left them and withdrew again and prayed a

third time, saying the same thing again. Then he returned to his disciples and said to them,

+ “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand when the Son of Man is to be handed over to sinners. Get up, let us go. Look, my betrayer is at hand.”

N While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd, with swords and clubs, who had come from the chief priests and the elders of the people. His betrayer had arranged a sign with them, saying,

V “The man I shall kiss is the one; arrest him.”

N Immediately he went over to Jesus and said,

V “Hail, Rabbi!” and he kissed him. N Jesus answered him, + “Friend, do what you have come for.” N Then stepping forward they laid

hands on Jesus and arrested him. And behold, one of those who accompanied Jesus put his hand to his sword, drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his ear. Then Jesus said to him,

+ “Put your sword back into its sheath, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot call upon my Father and he will not provide me at this moment with more than twelve legions of angels? But then how would the Scriptures be fulfilled which say that it must come to pass in this way?”

N At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, + “Have you come out as against a

robber, with swords and clubs to seize me? Day after day I sat teaching in the temple area, yet you did not arrest me. But all this has come to pass that the writings of the prophets may be fulfilled.”

N Then all the disciples left him and fled.

Those who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. Peter was following him at a distance as far as the high priest’s courtyard, and going inside he sat down with the servants to see the outcome. The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward who stated,

C “This man said, ‘I can destroy the temple of God and within three days rebuild it.’”

N The high priest rose and addressed him,

V “Have you no answer? What are these men testifying against you?”

N But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him,

V “I order you to tell us under oath before the living God whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

N Jesus said to him in reply, + “You have said so. But I tell you: From now on you will see ‘the Son

of Man seated at the right hand of the

Power’ and ‘coming on the clouds of heaven.’”

N Then the high priest tore his robes and said,

V “He has blasphemed! What further need have we of witnesses? You have now heard the blasphemy; what is your opinion?”

N They said in reply, C “He deserves to die!” N Then they spat in his face and struck

him, while some slapped him, saying,

223––– Year A: Passion of the Lord (Palm Sunday) –––

C “Prophesy for us, Christ: who is it that struck you?”

N Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. One of the maids came over to him and said,

C “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.”

N But he denied it in front of everyone, saying,

V “I do not know what you are talking about!”

N As he went out to the gate, another girl saw him and said to those who were there,

C “This man was with Jesus the Nazorean.”

N Again he denied it with an oath, V “I do not know the man!” N A little later the bystanders came

over and said to Peter, C “Surely you too are one of them;

even your speech gives you away.” N At that he began to curse and to

swear, V “I do not know the man.” N And immediately a cock crowed.

Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the cock crows you will deny me three times.” He went out and began to weep bitterly.

When it was morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. They bound him, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate, the governor.

Then Judas, his betrayer, seeing that Jesus had been condemned, deeply regretted what he had done. He returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying,

V “I have sinned in betraying innocent blood.”

N They said,

C “What is that to us? Look to it yourself.”

N Flinging the money into the temple, he departed and went off and hanged himself. The chief priests gathered up the money, but said,

C “It is not lawful to deposit this in the temple treasury, for it is the price of blood.”

N After consultation, they used it to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners. That is why that field even today is called the Field of Blood. Then was fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of a man with a price on his head, a price set by some of the Israelites, and they paid it out for the potter’s field just as the Lord had commanded me.

Now [Jesus stood before the governor, and he questioned him,

V “Are you the king of the Jews?” N Jesus said, + “You say so.” N And when he was accused by the

chief priests and elders, he made no answer. Then Pilate said to him,

V “Do you not hear how many things they are testifying against you?”

N But he did not answer him one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.

Now on the occasion of the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner whom they wished. And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. So when they had assembled, Pilate said to them,

V “Which one do you want me to release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus called Christ?”

N For he knew that it was out of envy that they had handed him over. While

SECOND READING Hebrews 1:1-6 God has spoken to us through the Son. Brothers and sisters: In times past, God spoke in partial and various ways to our ancestors through the prophets; in these last days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he made heir of all things and through whom he created the universe, who is the refulgence of his glory, the very imprint of his being, and who sustains all things by his mighty word. When he had accomplished purification from sins, he took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high, as far superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

For to which of the angels did God ever say: You are my son; this day I have begotten you? Or again: I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me? And again, when he leads the firstborn into the world, he says: Let all the angels of God worship him. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.] John testified to him and cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.’” From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace, because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father’s side, has revealed him. COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Psalm98 (97):3 All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

God sets a father in honor over his children; a mother’s authority he confirms over her sons. Whoever honors his father atones for sins, and preserves himself from them. When he prays, he is heard; he stores up riches who reveres his mother. Whoever honors his father is gladdened

by children, and, when he prays, is heard. Whoever reveres his father will live a long life; he who obeys his father brings comfort to his mother.

And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.] Wives, be subordinate to your husbands, as is proper in the Lord.

Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. He came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to him, He took him into his arms and blessed God, saying: “Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in sight of all the peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel.” The child’s father and mother were amazed at what was said about him; and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted —and you yourself a sword will pierce— so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher.

FIRST READING Genesis 15:1-6; 21:1-3 Your own issue shall be your heir. The word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying: “Fear not, Abram! I am your shield; I will make your reward very great.” But Abram said, “O Lord GOD, what good will your gifts be, if I keep on being childless and have as my heir the steward of my house, Eliezer?” Abram continued, “See, you have given me no offspring, and so one of my servants will be my heir.” Then the word of the LORD came to him: “No, that one shall not be your heir; your own issue shall be your heir.” The Lord took Abram outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars, if you can.” “Just so,” he added, “shall your descendants be.” Abram put his faith in the LORD, who credited it to him as an act of righteousness. The LORD took note of Sarah as he had said he would; he did for her as he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time that God had stated. Abraham gave the name Isaac to this son of his whom Sarah bore him. RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 105:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9

Glory in his holy name; rejoice, O hearts that seek the LORD! Look to the LORD in his strength; constantly seek his face. R/

You descendants of Abraham, his servants,

sons of Jacob, his chosen ones! He, the LORD, is our God; throughout the earth his judgments prevail. R/

He remembers forever his covenant which he made binding for a

thousand generations which he entered into with Abraham and by his oath to Isaac. R/

SECOND READING Hebrews 11:8, 11-12, 17-19 The faith of Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac. Brothers and sisters: By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance; he went out, not knowing where he was to go. By faith he received power to generate, even though he was past the normal age – and Sarah herself was sterile – for he thought that the one who had made the promise was trustworthy. So it was that there came forth from one man, himself as good as dead, descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sands on the seashore. By faith Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer his only son, of whom it was said, “Through Isaac

FIRST READING Genesis 11:1-9 It was called Babel because there the Lord confused the speech of all the world. The whole world spoke the same language, using the same words. While the people were migrating in the east, they came upon a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there. They said to one another, “Come, let us mold bricks and harden them with fire.” They used bricks for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky, and so make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered all over the earth.” The LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the people had built. Then the LORD said: “If now, while they are one people, all speaking the same language, they have started to do this, nothing will later stop them from doing whatever they presume to do. Let us then go down there and confuse their language, so that one will not understand what another says.” Thus the LORD scattered them from there all over the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the speech of all the world. It was from that place that he scattered them all over the earth. or FIRST READING Exodus 19:3-8a, 16-20b The Lord came down upon Mount Sinai before all the people. Moses went up the mountain to God. Then the LORD called to him and said, “Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob; tell the Israelites: You have seen for yourselves how I treated the Egyptians and how I bore you up on eagle wings and brought you here to myself. Therefore, if you hearken to my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my special possession, dearer to me than all other people, though all the earth is mine. You shall be to me a kingdom of priests, a holy nation. That is what you must tell the Israelites.” So Moses went and summoned the elders of the people. When he set before them all that the LORD had ordered him to tell them, the people all answered together, “Everything the LORD has said, we will do.” On the morning of the third day there were peals of thunder and lightning, and a heavy cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp trembled. But Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stationed themselves at the foot of the mountain. Mount Sinai was all wrapped in smoke, for the LORD came down upon it in fire. The smoke rose from it as though from a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled violently. The trumpet blast grew louder and louder, while Moses was speaking, and God answering him with thunder. When the LORD came down to the top of Mount Sinai, he summoned Moses to the top of the mountain. or FIRST READING Ezekiel 37:1-14 Dry bones of Israel, I will bring spirit into you, that you may come to life. The hand of the LORD came upon me, and he led me out in the spirit of the LORD and set me in the center of the plain, which was now filled with bones. He made me walk among the bones in every direction so that I saw how many they were on the surface of the plain. How dry they were! He asked me: Son of man, can these bones come to life? I answered, “Lord GOD, you alone know that.” Then he said to me: Prophesy over these bones, and say to them: Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! Thus says

the Lord GOD to these bones: See! I will bring spirit into you, that you may come to life. I will put sinews upon you, make flesh grow over you, cover you with skin, and put spirit in you so that you may come to life and know that I am the LORD. I, Ezekiel, prophesied as I had been told, and even as I was prophesying I heard a noise; it was a rattling as the bones came together, bone joining bone. I saw the sinews and the flesh come upon them, and the skin cover them, but there was no spirit in them. Then the LORD said to me: Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit: Thus says the Lord GOD: From the four winds come, O spirit, and breathe into these slain that they may come to life. I prophesied as he told me, and the spirit came into them; they came alive and stood upright, a vast army. Then he said to me: Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They have been saying, “Our bones are dried up, our hope is lost, and we are cut off.” Therefore, prophesy and say to them: Thus says the Lord GOD: O my people, I will open your graves and have you rise from them, and bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and have you rise from them, O my people! I will put my spirit in you that you may live, and I will settle you upon your land; thus you shall know that I am the LORD. I have promised, and I will do it, says the LORD. or FIRST READING Joel 3:1-5 I will pour out my spirit upon the servants and handmaids. Thus says the LORD: I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy,

your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions;

even upon the servants and the handmaids,

in those days, I will pour out my spirit.

And I will work wonders in the heavens and on the earth,

blood, fire, and columns of smoke;

the sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood,

at the coming of the day of the LORD, the great and terrible day.

Then everyone shall be rescued who calls on the name of the LORD;

for on Mount Zion there shall be a remnant,

as the LORD has said, and in Jerusalem survivors

whom the LORD shall call.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM (Optional refrain: Alleluia) Psalm 104:1-2, 24, 35, 27-28, 29, 30

In wisdom you have wrought them all—

the earth is full of your creatures; bless the LORD, O my soul!

Alleluia. R/

Creatures all look to you to give them food in due time. When you give it to them, they gather it;

when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. R/

If you take away their breath, they perish and return to their dust. When you send forth your spirit, they are

SECOND READING Romans 8:22-27 The Spirit intercedes with inexpressible groanings. Brothers and sisters: We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now; and not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. For in hope we were saved. Now hope that sees is not hope. For who hopes for what one sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait with endurance. In the same way, the Spirit too comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy ones according to God’s will.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. R/

GOSPEL John 7:37-39 Rivers of living water will flow. On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and exclaimed, “Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink. As Scripture says: Rivers of living water will flow from within him who believes in me.” He said this in reference to the Spirit that those who came to believe in him were to receive. There was, of course, no Spirit yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

COMMUNION ANTIPHON John 7:37 On the last day of the festival, Jesus stood and cried out: If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink, alleluia.

PENTECOST SUNDAY – Year C

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Wisdom 1:7 The Spirit of the Lord has filled the whole world and that which contains all things understands what is said, alleluia. or Romans 5:5; cf. 8:11 The love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Spirit of God dwelling within us, alleluia.

FIRST READING Acts 2:1-11 They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak. When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem. At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language. They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, “Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? Then how does each of us hear them in his native language? We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God.”

RESPONSORIAL PSALM (Optional refrain: Alleluia) Psalm 104:1, 24, 29-30, 31, 34

Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!

How manifold are your works, O LORD! the earth is full of your creatures; R/

If you take away their breath, they perish and return to their dust. When you send forth your spirit, they are

created, and you renew the face of the earth. R/

May the glory of the LORD endure forever;

may the LORD be glad in his works! Pleasing to him be my theme;

I will be glad in the LORD. R/

SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13 In one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Brothers and sisters: No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit. As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit. or SECOND READING Romans 8:8-17 Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. Brothers and sisters: Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness. If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you. Consequently, brothers and sisters, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a Spirit of adoption, through whom we cry, “Abba, Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. SEQUENCE Veni, Sancte Spiritus Come, Holy Spirit, come! And from your celestial home Shed a ray of light divine! Come, Father of the poor! Come, source of all our store! Come, within our bosoms shine. You, of comforters the best; You, the soul’s most welcome guest; Sweet refreshment here below; In our labor, rest most sweet; Grateful coolness in the heat; Solace in the midst of woe. O most blessed Light divine, Shine within these hearts of yours, And our inmost being fill! Where you are not, we have naught,

Nothing good in deed or thought, Nothing free from taint of ill. Heal our wounds, our strength renew; On our dryness pour your dew; Wash the stains of guilt away: Bend the stubborn heart and will; Melt the frozen, warm the chill; Guide the steps that go astray. On the faithful, who adore And confess you, evermore In your sevenfold gift descend; Give them virtue’s sure reward; Give them your salvation, Lord; Give them joys that never end. Amen. Alleluia.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. R/

GOSPEL John 20:19-23 As the Father sent me, so I send you: Receive the Holy Spirit. On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” or GOSPEL John 14:15-16, 23b-26 The Holy Spirit will teach you everything. Jesus said to his disciples: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always. “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. Those who do not love me do not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me. “I have told you this while I am with you. The Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.”

COMMUNION ANTIPHON Acts 2:4, 11 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke of the marvels of God, alleluia.

Solemnities in Ordinary Time – Year C THE MOST HOLY TRINITY (SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST) – Year C ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Blest be God the Father, and the Only Begotten Son of God, and also the Holy Spirit, for he has shown us his merciful love. FIRST READING Proverbs 8:22-31 Before the earth was made, Wisdom was conceived. Thus says the wisdom of God: “The LORD possessed me, the beginning of his ways, the forerunner of his prodigies of long ago; from of old I was poured forth, at the first, before the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no fountains or springs of water; before the mountains were settled into place, before the hills, I was brought forth; while as yet the earth and fields were not made, nor the first clods of the world.

“When the Lord established the heavens I was there, when he marked out the vault over the face of the deep; when he made firm the skies above, when he fixed fast the foundations of the earth; when he set for the sea its limit, so that the waters should not transgress his command; then was I beside him as his craftsman, and I was his delight day by day, playing before him all the while, playing on the surface of his earth; and I found delight in the human race.”

Brothers and sisters: Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf. Revelation 1:8

Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; to God who is, who was, and who is to come. R/ GOSPEL John 16:12-15 Everything that the Father has is mine; the Spirit will take from what is mine and declare it to you. Jesus said to his disciples: “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.” COMMUNION ANTIPHON Galatians 4:6 Since you are children of God, God has sent into your hearts the Spirit of his Son, the Spirit who cries out: Abba, Father.

BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST (CORPUS CHRISTI) – Year C

Where the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is not a Holyday of Obligation, it is assigned to the Sunday after the Most Holy Trinity as its proper day. ENTRANCE ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 81 (80):17 He fed them with the finest wheat and satisfied them with honey from the rock. FIRST READING Genesis 14:18-20 Melchizedek brought out bread and wine.In those days, Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine, and being a priest of God Most High, he blessed Abram with these words: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, the creator of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who delivered your foes into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything. RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 110:1, 2, 3, 4

The LORD said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool.” R/

The scepter of your power the LORD will stretch forth from Zion: “Rule in the midst of your enemies.” R/

“Yours is princely power in the day of your birth, in holy splendor; before the daystar, like the dew, I have begotten you.” R/

The LORD has sworn, and he will not repent: “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” R/

SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 For as often as you eat and drink, you proclaim the death of the Lord. Brothers and sisters: I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. SEQUENCE (optional) [For short form, read only the part in brackets.] The sequence Laud, O Zion (Lauda Sion), or Lo! the angels’ food is given (Ecce panis angelorum), may be sung before the Alleluia.

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.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf. John 6:63c, 68c

Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life; you have the words of everlasting life. R/

GOSPEL Luke 10:25-37 Who is my neighbor? There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” He said in reply, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” He replied to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.” But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn, and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, ‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’ Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

I will sacrifice to you with willing heart, and praise your name, O Lord, for it is good. FIRST READING Genesis 18:1-10a Lord, do not go on past your servant. The LORD appeared to Abraham by the terebinth of Mamre, as he sat in the entrance of his tent, while the day was growing hot. Looking up, Abraham saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of the tent to greet them; and bowing to the ground, he said: “Sir, if I may ask you this favor, please do not go on past your servant. Let some water be brought, that you may bathe your feet, and then rest yourselves under the tree. Now that you have come this close to your servant, let me bring you a little food, that you may refresh yourselves; and afterward you may go on your way.” The men replied, “Very well, do as you have said.” Abraham hastened into the tent and told Sarah, “Quick, three measures of fine flour! Knead it and make rolls.” He ran to the herd, picked out a tender, choice steer, and gave it to a servant, who quickly prepared it. Then Abraham got some curds and milk, as well as the steer that had been prepared, and set these before the three men; and he waited on them under the tree while they ate. They asked Abraham, “Where is your wife Sarah?” He replied, “There in the tent.” One of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah will then have a son.” RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 15:2-3, 3-4, 5

Brothers and sisters: Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is the church, of which I am a minister in accordance with God’s stewardship given to me to bring to completion for you the word of God, the mystery hidden from ages and from generations past. But now it has been manifested to his holy ones, to whom God chose to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; it is Christ in you, the hope for glory. It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf. Luke 8:15

Blessed are they who have kept the word with a generous heart and yield a harvest through perseverance. R/ GOSPEL Luke 10:38-42 Martha welcomed him. Mary has chosen the better part. Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” COMMUNION ANTIPHON Psalm 111 (110):4-5 The Lord, the gracious, the merciful, has made a memorial of his wonders; he gives food to those who fear him. or Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock, says the Lord.

Endure your trials as “discipline”; God treats you as sons. For what “son” is there whom his father does not discipline? At the time, all discipline seems a cause not for joy but for pain, yet later it brings the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who are trained by it. So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees. Make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be disjointed but healed.

Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few people be saved?” He answered them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough. After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ He will say to you in reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ And you will say, ‘We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.’ Then he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers!’ And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves cast out.

He told a parable to those who had been invited, noticing how they were choosing the places of honor at the table. “When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not recline at table in the place of honor. A more distinguished guest than you may have been invited by him, and the host who invited both of you may approach you and say, ‘Give your place to this man,’ and then you would proceed with embarrassment to take the lowest place. Rather, when you are invited, go and take the lowest place so that when the host comes to you he may say, ‘My friend, move up to a higher position.’ Then you will enjoy the esteem of your companions at the table. For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” Then he said to the host who invited him, “When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, in case they may invite you back and you have repayment. Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

FIRST READING Wisdom 9:13-18b Who can conceive what the Lord intends? Who can know God’s counsel,

or who can conceive what the LORD intends?

For the deliberations of mortals are timid,

and unsure are our plans. For the corruptible body burdens the

soul and the earthen shelter weighs

down the mind that has many concerns.

And scarce do we guess the things on earth, and what is within our grasp we find

with difficulty; but when things are in heaven, who can search them out?

You turn man back to dust, saying, “Return, O children of men.” For a thousand years in your sight

SECOND READING Philemon 9-10, 12-17 Receive him no longer as a slave but as a beloved brother. I, Paul, an old man, and now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus, urge you on behalf of my child Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment; I am sending him, that is, my own heart, back to you. I should have liked to retain him for myself, so that he might serve me on your behalf in my imprisonment for the gospel, but I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that the good you do might not be forced but voluntary. Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me, but even more so to you, as a man and in the Lord. So if you regard me as a partner, welcome him as you would me. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Psalm 119:135

Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’ Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops? But if not, while he is still far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms. In the same way, anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.” COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 42 (41):2-3Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God; my soul is thirsting for God, the living God. or John 8:12 I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME – Year C ENTRANCE ANTIPHON cf. Sirach 36:18 Give peace, O Lord, to those who wait for you, that your prophets be found true. Hear the prayers of your servant, and of your people Israel. FIRST READING Exodus 32:7-11, 13-14 The Lord relented in the punishment he had threatened to inflict on his people. The LORD said to Moses, “Go down at once to your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, for they have become depraved. They have soon turned aside from the way I pointed out to them, making for themselves a molten calf and worshiping it, sacrificing to it and crying out, ‘This is your God, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt!’ I see how stiff-necked this people is,” continued the LORD to Moses. “Let me alone, then, that my wrath may blaze up against them to consume them. Then I will make of you a great nation.” But Moses implored the LORD, his God, saying, “Why, O LORD, should your wrath blaze up against your own people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with such great power and with so strong a hand? Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and how you swore to them by your own self, saying, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky; and all this land that I promised, I will give your descendants as their perpetual heritage.’” So the LORD relented in the punishment he had threatened to inflict on his people.

A clean heart create for me, O God, and a steadfast spirit renew within me.

Cast me not out from your presence, and your Holy Spirit take not from me. R/

SECOND READING 1 Timothy 1:12-17 Christ came to save sinners. Beloved: I am grateful to him who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me trustworthy in appointing me to the ministry. I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and arrogant, but I have been mercifully treated because I acted out of ignorance in my unbelief. Indeed, the grace of our Lord has been abundant, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these I am the foremost. But for that reason I was mercifully treated, so that in me, as the foremost, Christ Jesus might display all his patience as an example for those who would come to believe in him for everlasting life. To the king of ages, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION 2 Corinthians 5:19

God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. R/ GOSPEL Luke 15:1-32 [or 15:1-10] There will be great joy in heaven [For short form, read only the part in brackets.] over one sinner who repents. [Tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus, but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” So to them he addressed this parable. “What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it? And when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with

great joy and, upon his arrival home, he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance. “Or what woman having ten coins and losing one would not light a lamp and sweep the house, searching carefully until she finds it? And when she does find it, she calls together her friends and neighbors and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found the coin that I lost.’ In just the same way, I tell you, there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”] Then he said, “A man had two sons, and the younger son said to his father, ‘Father give me the share of your estate that should come to me.’ So the father divided the property between them. After a few days, the younger son collected all his belongings and set off to a distant country where he squandered his inheritance on a life of dissipation. When he had freely spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he found himself in dire need. So he hired himself out to one of the local citizens who sent him to his farm to tend the swine. And he longed to eat his fill of the pods on which the swine fed, but nobody gave him any. Coming to his senses he thought, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have more than enough food to eat, but here am I, dying from hunger. I shall get up and go to my father and I shall say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as you would treat one of your hired workers.”’ So he got up and went back to his father. While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him, and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him. His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son.’ But his father ordered his servants, ‘Quickly bring the finest robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Take the fattened calf and slaughter it. Then let us celebrate with a feast, because this son of mine was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and has been found.’ Then the celebration began. Now the older son had been out in the field and, on his way back, as he neared the house, he heard the sound of music and dancing. He called one of the servants and asked what this might mean. The servant said to him, ‘Your brother has returned and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ He became angry, and when he refused to enter the house, his father came out and pleaded with him. He said to his father in reply, ‘Look, all these years I served you and not once did I disobey your orders; yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends. But when your son returns, who swallowed up your property with prostitutes, for him you slaughter the fattened calf.’ He said to him, ‘My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours. But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’” COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 36 (35):8 How precious is your mercy, O God!

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON I am the salvation of the people, says the Lord. Should they cry to me in any distress, I will hear them, and I will be their Lord for ever. FIRST READING Amos 8:4-7 Against those who buy the poor for money. Hear this, you who trample upon the needy and destroy the poor of the land! “When will the new moon be over,” you ask, “that we may sell our grain, and the sabbath, that we may display the wheat? We will diminish the ephah, add to the shekel,

and fix our scales for cheating! We will buy the lowly for silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals; even the refuse of the wheat we will sell!” The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: Never will I forget a thing they have done!


Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. Blessed be the name of the LORD both now and forever. R/

High above all nations is the LORD; above the heavens is his glory. Who is like the LORD, our God, who is

who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth. For there is one God. There is also one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as ransom for all. This was the testimony at the proper time. For this I was appointed preacher and apostle — I am speaking the truth, I am not lying—, teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. It is my wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf. 2 Corinthians 8:9

Though our Lord Jesus Christ was rich, he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich. R/ GOSPEL Luke 16:1-13 [or 16:10-13] You cannot serve both God and mammon. [For short form, read only the part in brackets.] [Jesus said to his disciples,] “A rich man had a steward who was reported to him for squandering his property. He summoned him and said, ‘What is this I hear about you? Prepare a full account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be my steward.’ The steward said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking the position of steward away from me? I am not strong enough to dig and I am ashamed to beg. I know what I shall do so that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may welcome me into their homes.’ He called in his master’s debtors one by one. To the first he said, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ He replied, ‘One hundred measures of olive oil.’ He said to him, ‘Here is your promissory note. Sit down and quickly write one for fifty.’ Then to another the steward said, ‘And you, how much do you owe?’ He replied, ‘One hundred kors of wheat.’ The steward said to him, ‘Here is your promissory note; write one for eighty.’ And the master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently. “For the children of this world are more prudent in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. I tell you, make friends for yourselves with dishonest wealth, so that when it fails, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. [The person who is trustworthy in very small matters is also trustworthy in great ones; and the person who is dishonest in very small matters is also dishonest in great ones. If, therefore, you are not trustworthy with dishonest wealth, who will trust you with true wealth? If you are not trustworthy with what belongs to another, who will give you what is yours? No servant can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and mammon.”]

Compete well for the faith. Lay hold of eternal life, to which you were called when you made the noble confession in the presence of many witnesses. I charge you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate for the noble confession, to keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ that the blessed and only ruler will make manifest at the proper time, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, and whom no human being has seen or can see.

Though our Lord Jesus Christ was rich, he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich. R/ GOSPEL Luke 16:19-31 You received what was good, Lazarus what was bad; now he is comforted, whereas you are tormented. Jesus said to the Pharisees: “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores. When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and from the netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these flames.’ Abraham replied, ‘My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented. Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established to prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to go from our side to yours or from your side to ours.’ He said, ‘Then I beg you, father, send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment.’ But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’ He said, ‘Oh no, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ Then Abraham said, ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.’” COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf.

Why do you let me see ruin; why must I look at misery? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and clamorous discord. Then the LORD answered me and said: Write down the vision clearly upon

the tablets, so that one can read it readily. For the vision still has its time, presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint; if it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late. The rash one has no integrity; but the just one, because of his faith, shall live.

Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished?’ Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded? So should it be with you.

But the word of God is not chained. Therefore, I bear with everything for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, together with eternal glory. This saying is trustworthy: If we have died with him we shall also live with him; if we persevere we shall also reign with him. But if we deny him he will deny us. If we are unfaithful he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.

In all circumstances, give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. R/ GOSPEL Luke 17:11-19 None but this foreigner has returned to give thanks to God. As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.” COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf.

I will be standing on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses told him: he engaged Amalek in battle after Moses had climbed to the top of the hill with Aaron and Hur. As long as Moses kept his hands raised up, Israel had the better of the fight, but when he let his hands rest, Amalek had the better of the fight. Moses’ hands, however, grew tired; so they put a rock in place for him to sit on. Meanwhile Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other,

Brothers and sisters: I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION John 13:34

I give you a new commandment, says the Lord: Love one another as I have loved you. R/

GOSPEL John 13:1-15 Jesus loved them to the end. Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end. The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God, he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel around his waist. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Master, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later.” Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.” Jesus said to him, “Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all.” For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, “Not all of you are clean.” So when he had washed their feet and put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you? You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.”

After the proclamation of the Gospel, the Priest gives a homily in which light is shed on the principal mysteries that are commemorated in this Mass, namely, the institution of the Holy Eucharist and of the Priestly Order, and the commandment of the Lord concerning fraternal charity.

–––––– The Washing of Feet ––––––

After the Homily, where a pastoral reason suggests it, the Washing of Feet follows.

The men who have been chosen are led by the ministers to seats prepared in a suitable place. Then the Priest goes to each one and pours water over each one’s feet and then dries them. Meanwhile some of the following antiphons or other appropriate chants are sung.

ANTIPHON 1 cf. John 13:4, 5, 15 After the Lord had risen from supper, he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of his disciples: he left them this example.

ANTIPHON 2 cf. John 13:12, 13, 15 The Lord Jesus, after eating supper with his disciples, washed their feet and said to them: Do you know what I, your Lord and Master, have done for you? I have given you an example, that you should do likewise.

ANTIPHON 3 John 13:6, 7, 8 R/ . Lord, are you to wash my feet? Jesus said to him in answer: If I do not wash your feet, you will have no share with me.

. So he came to Simon Peter and Peter said to him: R/

. What I am doing, you do not know for now, but later you will come to know. R/

ANTIPHON 4 cf. John 13:14 If I, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, how much more should you wash each other's feet?

ANTIPHON 5 John 13:35 R/ . This is how all will know that you are my disciples: if you have love for one another.

. Jesus said to his disciples: R/

ANTIPHON 6 John 13:34 I give you a new commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you, says the Lord.

ANTIPHON 7 1 Corinthians 13:13 R/ . Let faith, hope and charity, these three, remain among you, but the greatest of these is charity.

. Now faith, hope and charity, these three, remain; but the greatest of these is charity. R/

After the Washing of Feet, the Priest washes and dries his hands, and returns to the chair, and from there he directs the Universal Prayer (see page 44).

The Creed is not said.

–––––– Liturgy of the Eucharist ––––––

At the beginning of the Liturgy of the Eucharist, there may be a procession of the faithful in which gifts for the poor may be presented with the bread and wine. Meanwhile the following, or another appropriate chant, is sung.

ANTIPHON: Where true charity is dwelling, God is present there.

. By the love of Christ we have been brought together:

. let us find in him our gladness and our pleasure;

. may we love him and revere him, God the living,

. and in love respect each other with sincere hearts.


. So when we as one are gathered all together,

. let us strive to keep our minds free of division;

. may there be an end to malice, strife and quarrels,

. and let Christ our God be dwelling here among us.


. May your face thus be our vision, bright in glory,

. Christ our God, with all the blessed Saints in heaven:

. such delight is pure and faultless, joy unbounded,

. which endures through countless ages world without end. Amen.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS Grant us, O Lord, we pray, that we may participate worthily in these mysteries, for whenever the memorial of this sacrifice is celebrated the work of our redemption is accomplished. Through Christ our Lord. R/ . Amen.

When the Roman Canon is used, this special form of it is said, with proper formulas for the Communicantes (In communion with those), Hanc igitur (Therefore, Lord, we pray), and Qui pridie (On the day before he was to suffer).

Priest: To you, therefore, most merciful Father, we make humble prayer and petition through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord: that you accept and bless ! these gifts, these offerings,

these holy and unblemished sacrifices, which we offer you firstly for your holy catholic Church. Be pleased to grant her peace, to guard, unite and govern her

throughout the whole world, together with your servant N. our Pope and N. our Bishop,* and all those who, holding to the truth, hand on the catholic and apostolic faith.

Remember, Lord, your servants N. and N. and all gathered here, whose faith and devotion are known to you. For them we offer you this sacrifice of praise or they offer it for themselves and all who are dear to them: for the redemption of their souls, in hope of health and well-being, and paying their homage to you, the eternal God, living and true. Celebrating the most sacred day on which our Lord Jesus Christ was handed over for our sake, and in communion with those whose memory we venerate, especially the glorious ever-Virgin Mary, Mother of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ, and † blessed Joseph, her Spouse your blessed Apostles and Martyrs, Peter and Paul, Andrew, (James, John, Thomas, James, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon and Jude; Linus, Cletus, Clement, Sixtus, Cornelius, Cyprian, Lawrence, Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian) and all your Saints; we ask that through their merits and prayers, in all things we may be defended by your protecting help. (Through Christ our Lord. Amen.)

Therefore, Lord, we pray: graciously accept this oblation of our service, that of your whole family, which we make to you as we observe the day on which our Lord Jesus Christ handed on the mysteries of his Body and Blood for his disciples to celebrate; order our days in your peace, and command that we be delivered from eternal damnation and counted among the flock of those you have chosen. (Through Christ our Lord. Amen.)

Be pleased, O God, we pray, to bless, acknowledge, and approve this offering in every respect; make it spiritual and acceptable, so that it may become for us the Body and Blood of your most beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

On the day before he was to suffer for our salvation and the salvation of all, that is today, he took bread in his holy and venerable hands, and with eyes raised to heaven to you, O God, his almighty Father, giving you thanks, he said the blessing, broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying:

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY BODY, WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.

The Eucharistic Prayer continues on page 22.

COMMUNION ANTIPHON 1 Corinthians 11:24-25 This is the Body that will be given up for you; this is the Chalice of the new covenant in my Blood, says the Lord; do this, whenever you receive it, in memory of me.

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION Grant, almighty God, that, just as we are renewed by the Supper of your Son in this present age, so we may enjoy his banquet for all eternity. Who lives and reigns for ever and ever. R/ . Amen.

–––––– Transfer of the Most Blessed Sacrament ––––––

After the Prayer after Communion, the Priest puts incense in the thurible, blesses it and then, kneeling, incenses the Blessed Sacrament.

A procession is formed in which the Blessed Sacrament is carried through the church to a suitable place of repose. As the hymn “Pange, Lingua” (stanzas 1 – 4 below) or another eucharistic chant is sung, all follow in procession.

When the procession reaches the place of repose, the Priest incenses the Blessed Sacrament while “Tantum Ergo Sacramentum” (stanzas 5 and 6 below) or another eucharistic chant is sung. Then the Deacon or the Priest himself places the Sacrament in the tabernacle and closes the door.

After a period of adoration in silence, the Priest and ministers genuflect and return to the sacristy.

At an appropriate time, the altar is stripped and, if possible, the crosses are removed from the church. It is expedient that any crosses which remain in the church be veiled.

The faithful are invited to continue adoration before the Blessed Sacrament for a suitable length of time during the night, according to local circumstances, but after midnight the adoration should take place without solemnity.

GOOD FRIDAY – Years ABC

On this and the following day, by a most ancient tradition, the Church does not celebrate the Sacraments at all, except for Penance and the Anointing of the Sick.

The celebration of the Lord’s Passion consisting of three parts, namely, the Liturgy of the Word, the Adoration of the Cross, and Holy Communion.

The Priest and the Deacon, if a Deacon is present, wearing red vestments as for Mass, go to the altar in silence and, after making a reverence to the altar, prostrate themselves or, if appropriate, kneel and pray in silence for a while. All others kneel.

Then the Priest, with the ministers, goes to the chair where, facing the people, who are standing, he says one of the following prayers, omitting the invitation Let us pray.

PRAYER Remember your mercies, O Lord, and with your eternal protection sanctify your servants, for whom Christ your Son, by the shedding of his Blood, established the Paschal Mystery. Who lives and reigns for ever and ever. R/ . Amen. or O God, who by the Passion of Christ your Son, our Lord, abolished the death inherited from ancient sin by every succeeding generation, grant that just as, being conformed to him, we have borne by the law of nature the image of the man of earth, so by the sanctification of grace we may bear the image of the Man of heaven. Through Christ our Lord. R/ . Amen.

end of the singing, all kneel and for a brief moment adore in silence, while the Priest stands and holds the Cross raised.

Priest: Behold the wood of the Cross, on which hung the salvation of the world.

All reply: Come, let us adore.

Then the Priest uncovers the right arm of the Cross and again, raising up the Cross, begins, “Behold the wood of the Cross” and everything takes place as above. Finally, he uncovers the Cross entirely and, raising it up, he begins the invitation “Behold the wood of the Cross” a third time and everything takes place like the first time.

SECOND FORM: The Priest or the Deacon accompanied by ministers, or another suitable minister, goes to the door of the church, where he receives the unveiled Cross, and the ministers take lighted candles; then the procession sets off through the church to the sanctuary. Near the door, in the middle of the church and before the entrance of the sanctuary, the one who carries the Cross elevates it, singing, Behold the wood of the Cross, to which all respond, Come, let us adore. After each response all kneel and for a brief moment adore in silence, as above. THE ADORATION OF THE HOLY CROSS Then the clergy, the lay ministers, and the faithful approach, moving as if in procession, and showing reverence to the Cross by a simple genuflection or by some other sign appropriate to the usage of the region, for example, by kissing the Cross.

While the adoration of the Holy Cross is taking place, the antiphon “Crucem tuam adoramus” (We adore your Cross, O Lord), the Reproaches, the hymn “Crux fidelis” (Faithful Cross) or other suitable chants are sung, during which all who have already adored the Cross remain seated.

For, when Adam first offended, Eating that forbidden fruit, Not all hopes of glory ended With the serpent at the root: Broken nature would be mended By a second tree and shoot.

So he came, the long-expected, Not in glory, not to reign; Only born to be rejected, Choosing hunger, toil and pain, Till the scaffold was erected And the Paschal Lamb was slain. 7.

In accordance with local circumstances or popular traditions and if it is pastorally appropriate, the “Stabat Mater” may be sung or another suitable chant in memory of the compassion of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

When the adoration has been concluded, the Cross is carried by the Deacon or a minister to its place at the altar. Lighted candles are placed around or on the altar or near the Cross.

And facing the altar, he reverently consumes the Body of Christ, saying quietly: May the Body of Christ keep me safe for eternal life. He then proceeds to distribute Communion to the faithful. During Communion, Psalm 22 (21) or another appropriate chant may be sung.

Then the Priest says: Let us pray, and, after a period of sacred silence has been observed, he says the Prayer after Communion.

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION Almighty ever-living God, who have restored us to life by the blessed Death and Resurrection of your Christ, preserve in us the work of your mercy, that, by partaking of this mystery, we may have a life unceasingly devoted to you. Through Christ our Lord. R/ . Amen. For the Dismissal the Deacon or the Priest himself, may say the invitation Bow down for the blessing. The Priest says the Prayer over the People. And all, after genuflecting to the Cross, depart in silence. EASTER VIGIL – Years ABC

By most ancient tradition, this is the night of keeping vigil for the Lord (Exodus 12:42) in which, following the Gospel admonition (Luke 12:35-37), the faithful, carrying lighted lamps in their hands, should be like those looking for the Lord when he returns, so that at his coming he may find them awake and have them sit at his table.

The celebration of the Ester Vigil is arranged, moreover, in such a way that after the Lucernarium (service of light) and Easter Proclamation (which constitutes the first part of this Vigil), the Holy Church meditates on the wonders the Lord God has done for his people from the beginning, trusting in his word and promise (the second part, that is, the Liturgy of the Word) until, as day approaches, with new members reborn in Baptism (the third part), the Church is called to the table the Lord has prepared for his people, the memorial of his Death and Resurrection until he comes again (the fourth part, that is, the Liturgy of the Eucharist). .

The entire celebration of the Easter Vigil must take place during the night, so that it begins after nightfall and ends before daybreak on the Sunday.

–––––– I. The Solemn Beginning of the Vigil or Lucernarium –––––– THE BLESSING OF THE FIRE AND PREPARATION OF THE CANDLE A fire is prepared in a suitable place, outside the church. When the people are gathered there, the Priest approaches with the ministers, one of whom carries the paschal candle. The Priest and faithful sign themselves while the Priest says: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and then he greets the assembled people in the usual way and briefly instructs them about the night vigil in these or similar words:

Dear brethren (brothers and sisters), on this most sacred night, in which our Lord Jesus Christ passed over from death to life, the Church calls upon her sons and daughters, scattered throughout the world, to come together to watch and pray. If we keep the memorial of the Lord's paschal solemnity in this way, listening to his word and celebrating his mysteries, then we shall have the sure hope of sharing his triumph over death and living with him in God.

Then the Priest blesses the fire, saying: Let us pray. O God, who through your Son bestowed upon the faithful the fire of your glory, sanctify ! this new fire, we pray, and grant that, by these paschal celebrations, we may be so inflamed with heavenly desires, that with minds made pure we may attain festivities of unending splendor. Through Christ our Lord.

All: Amen.

After the blessing of the new fire, one of the ministers brings the paschal candle to the Priest, who cuts a cross into the candle with a stylus. Then he makes the Greek letter Alpha above the cross, the letter Omega below, and the four numerals of the current year between the arms of the cross, saying:

Priest: 1. Christ yesterday and today 2. the Beginning and the End 3. the Alpha 4. and the Omega 5. All time belongs to him 6. and all the ages

When the cutting of the cross and of the other signs has been completed, the Priest may insert five grains of incense into the candle in the form of a cross, while saying:

1. By his holy 2. and glorious wounds, 3. may Christ the Lord 4. guard us 5. and protect us. Amen.

The Priest lights the paschal candle from the new fire, saying: May the light of Christ rising in glory dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds. PROCESSION

When the candle has been lit, one of the ministers takes burning coals from the fire and places them in the thurible, and the Priest puts incense into it in the usual way. The Deacon or, if there is no Deacon, another suitable minister, takes the paschal candle and a procession forms. The thurifer with the smoking thurible precedes the Deacon or other minister who carries the paschal candle. After them follows the Priest with the ministers and the people, all holding in their hands unlit candles.

At the door of the church the Deacon, standing and raising up the candle, sings:

Deacon/Priest: The Light of Christ.

All: Thanks be to God.

The Priest lights his candle from the flame of the paschal candle. Then the Deacon moves forward to the middle of the church and, standing and raising up the candle, sings a second time:

Deacon/Priest: The Light of Christ. All: Thanks be to God.

All light their candles from the flame of the paschal candle and continue in procession.

When the Deacon arrives before the altar, he stands facing the people, raises up the candle and sings a third time:

Deacon/Priest: The Light of Christ. All: Thanks be to God.

Then the Deacon places the paschal candle in a large candlestand. And lights are lit throughout the church, except for the altar candles. THE EASTER PROCLAMATION (EXSULTET)

With all standing and holding lighted candles in their hands, the Deacon, or in his absence, the Priest, after incensing the book and the candle, proclaims the Easter Proclamation (Exsultet).

If necessary, a lay cantor sings the Proclamation, the words “Therefore, dearest friends” up to the end of the invitation are omitted, along with the greeting “The Lord be with you.” The Proclamation may also be sung in the shorter form.

[For short form, read only the part in brackets.] [Exult, let them exult, the hosts of heaven, exult, let Angel ministers of God exult, let the trumpet of salvation sound aloud our mighty King’s triumph! Be glad, let earth be glad, as glory floods her, ablaze with light from her eternal King, let all corners of the earth be glad, knowing an end to gloom and darkness. Rejoice, let Mother Church also rejoice, arrayed with the lightning of his glory, let this holy building shake with joy, filled with the mighty voices of the peoples.]

__________________________________________

Deacon/Priest only: Therefore, dearest friends, standing in the awesome glory of this holy light, invoke with me, I ask you, the mercy of God almighty, that he, who has been pleased to number me, though unworthy, among the Levites, may pour into me his light unshadowed, that I may sing this candle’s perfect praises. [ . The Lord be with you. R/ . And with your spirit.

Deacon/Priest part only ends here. __________________________________________

. Lift up your hearts. R/ . We lift them up to the Lord.

. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. R/ . It is right and just.

It is truly right and just, with ardent love of mind and heart and with devoted service of our voice,

to acclaim our God invisible, the almighty Father, and Jesus Christ, our Lord, his Son, his Only Begotten.

Who for our sake paid Adam’s debt to the eternal Father, and, pouring out his own dear Blood, wiped clean the record of our ancient sinfulness.

These, then, are the feasts of Passover, in which is slain the Lamb, the one true Lamb, whose Blood anoints the doorposts of believers.

This is the night, when once you led our forebears, Israel’s children, from slavery in Egypt and made them pass dry-shod through the Red Sea.

This is the night that with a pillar of fire banished the darkness of sin.

This is the night that even now, throughout the world, sets Christian believers apart from worldly vices and from the gloom of sin, leading them to grace and joining them to his holy ones.

This is the night, when Christ broke the prison-bars of death and rose victorious from the underworld.]

Our birth would have been no gain, had we not been redeemed. [O wonder of your humble care for us! O love, O charity beyond all telling, to ransom a slave you gave away your Son!

O truly necessary sin of Adam, destroyed completely by the Death of Christ! O happy fault that earned so great, so glorious a Redeemer!]

O truly blessed night, worthy alone to know the time and hour when Christ rose from the underworld!

This is the night of which it is written: The night shall be as bright as day, dazzling is the night for me, and full of gladness.

[The sanctifying power of this night

dispels wickedness, washes faults away, restores innocence to the fallen, and joy to mourners,] drives out hatred, fosters concord, and brings down the mighty.

[On this, your night of grace, O holy Father, accept this candle, a solemn offering, the work of bees and of your servants’ hands, an evening sacrifice of praise, this gift from your most holy Church.]

But now we know the praises of this pillar, which glowing fire ignites for God’s honor, a fire into many flames divided, yet never dimmed by sharing of its light, for it is fed by melting wax, drawn out by mother bees to build a torch so precious.

[O truly blessed night, when things of heaven are wed to those of earth, and divine to the human.] ____________________________________

Shorter Form only:

[On this, your night of grace, O holy Father, accept this candle, a solemn offering, the work of bees and of your servants’ hands, an evening sacrifice of praise, this gift from your most holy Church.] __________________________________________

[Therefore, O Lord, we pray you that this candle, hallowed to the honor of your name, may persevere undimmed, to overcome the darkness of this night. Receive it as a pleasing fragrance, and let it mingle with the lights of heaven. May this flame be found still burning by the Morning Star: the one Morning Star who never sets, Christ your Son, who, coming back from death’s domain, has shed his peaceful light on humanity, and lives and reigns for ever and ever. R/ . Amen.]

GREETING Priest: The Lord be with you. The people reply: And with your spirit.

PENITENTIAL ACT After brief silence, all recite: 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, And, striking their breast, they say: 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. GLORIA Glory to God in the highest, 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, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

NICENE CREED 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, At the words that follow, all bow. and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. (end bow) 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.

PREPARATION OF THE GIFTS Priest: Pray...the almighty Father. The people rise and reply: May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of all his holy Church.

INVITATION TO HOLY COMMUNION Priest: Behold the Lamb of God...Lamb. All pray: Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
