INTRODUCTORY RITES

Prelude

Introit

Iustus es Domine, * et rectum iudicium tuum: fac cum servo tuo secundum misericordiam tuam.

Beati immaculati in via:

qui ambulant in lege Domini.

You are righteous, O Lord, and right is your judgment; deal with this servant of yours according to your mercy.

Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord.

- Ps 118:137, 124 and 1

LITURGY OF THE WORD

Thus says the Lord:You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me say

anything, you shall warn them for me. If I tell the wicked, “O wicked one, you shall surely die, ” and you do not speak out to dissuade the wicked from his way, the wicked shall die for his guilt, but I will hold you responsible for his death. But if you warn the wicked, trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt, but you shall save yourself.

Brothers and sisters:Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled

the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there may be, are summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans 13:8-10 You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Lector: The word of the Lord. Assembly: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 95

Come, let us ring out our joy to the Lord; hail the rock who saves us.Let us come into his presence, giving thanks; let us hail him with a song of praise. Refrain

O come; let us bow and bend low. Let us kneel before the God who made us,for he is our God and we the people who belong to his pasture,

the flock that is led by his hand. Refrain

O that today you would listen to his voice! “Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,as on that day at Massah in the desert when your forbears put me to the test;

when they tried me, though they saw my work.” Refrain

The Gospel Acclamation is repeated after the Gospel.

Jesus said to his disciples:“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If

he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

Homily

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,I believe that you are truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.I love You above all things and I desire to possess You within my soul.Since I am unable at this moment to receive You sacramentally,come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as being already there,and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

-Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)

Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) described Spiritual Communion as an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament and lovingly

embrace him at a time or in circumstances when we cannot receive him in Sacramental Communion.

A Prayer-Song in the Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Yet now I tread a diff ’rent way:Death dogs my path with stealthy steps from day to day.I cannot find your peaceful placeBut dwell in dreary darkness longing for your face. Refrain I will look back in days to comeAnd realize your faithfulness has led me home.Within your house I’ll find my peaceTrusting in your mercy you have sheltered me. Refrain

Shepherd and sheep, my God and I:To fresh green fields you led my steps in days gone by.You gave me rest by quiet springsAnd filled my soul with peace your loving presence brings. Refrain
