Homily

Profession of Faith:

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

Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from

true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation He came down

from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin

Mary, and became man.
For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate,

He suffered death and was buried,

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.

of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored

and glorified,

of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of

the dead

Liturgy of the Word

1st Reading Sirach 27:30—28:7

Wrath and anger are hateful things,

yet the sinner hugs them tight.

The vengeful will suffer the LORD’s

vengeance,

for he remembers their sins in detail.

Forgive your neighbor’s injustice;

then when you pray, your own sins will

be forgiven.

Could anyone nourish anger against

another

and expect healing from the LORD?

Could anyone refuse mercy to another

like himself,

can he seek pardon for his own sins?

If one who is but flesh cherishes wrath,

who will forgive his sins?

Remember your last days, set enmity

aside;

remember death and decay, and cease

from sin!

Think of the commandments, hate not

your neighbor;

remember the Most High’s covenant,

and overlook faults.

The Word of the Lord,

slow to anger,

Bless the LORD, O my soul;

and all my being, bless his holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul,

and forget not all his benefits.

R. The Lord is kind and merciful, slow
to anger,

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

compassion. R. The Lord is kind and merciful,

slow to anger,

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

deal with us, nor does he requite us according to

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

to anger,

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

earth, so surpassing is his kindness toward

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

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

to anger,

and rich in compassion.

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

Gospel Matthew 18:21-35

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

times

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

be likened to a king

who decided to settle accounts with

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

owed him a huge amount.

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

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

homage, and said,

‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you

back in full.’ Moved with compassion the master

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

one of his fellow servants

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

demanding,

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

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

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

happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to

their master

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

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

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

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

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

from your heart.”

not made, consubstantial with the

Father;

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

 end.  

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the

Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father

who with the Father and the Son

is adored

I believe in one, holy, catholic

I confess one Baptism for the

forgiveness of sins

Liturgy of the Word

1st Reading Ezekiel 33:7-9

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.

The Word of the Lord,

~Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm 

Psalm 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9

 R. (8) If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD;

let us acclaim the rock of our salvation.

Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;

let us joyfully sing psalms to him.

R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Come, let us bow down in worship;

let us kneel before the LORD who made us.

For he is our God, and we are the people he shepherds,

 the flock he guides.

R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Oh, that today you would hear his voice:

"Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,

as in the day of Massah in the desert,

where your fathers tempted me;

they tested me though they had seen my works."

R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

2nd Reading Romans 13:8-10

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 commandment

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.

Gospel Matthew 18:15-20

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."

everyone mocks me.

Whenever I speak, I must cry out,

brought me

derision and reproach all the day.

I say to myself, I will not mention

him,

Gospel Matthew 16:21-27

Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and

suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests,

and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day

be raised. Then Peter took Jesus aside and

began to rebuke him, "God forbid, Lord! No such thing

shall ever happen to you." He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are

an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does,

but as human beings do." Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wishes to come after

me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his

life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my

sake will find it. What profit would there be for

one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange

for his life? For the Son of Man will come with

his angels in his Father's glory, and then he will repay all according

to his conduct."

Brothers and sisters: I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I glory in my ministry in order to make my race

jealous and thus save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the

world, what will their acceptance be but life from the

dead? For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. Just as you once disobeyed God but have now received mercy because of their

disobedience, so they have now disobeyed in order that, by virtue of the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. For God delivered all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.

At that time, Jesus withdrew to the region

of Tyre and Sidon.

And behold, a Canaanite woman of that

district came and called out,

"Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David!

My daughter is tormented by a demon."

But Jesus did not say a word in answer to

her.

Jesus' disciples came and asked him,

"Send her away, for she keeps calling out

after us."

He said in reply,

"I was sent only to the lost sheep of the

house of Israel."

But the woman came and did Jesus

homage, saying, "Lord, help me."

He said in reply,

"It is not right to take the food of the children

and throw it to the dogs."

She said, "Please, Lord, for even the dogs

eat the scraps

that fall from the table of their masters."

Then Jesus said to her in reply,

"O woman, great is your faith!

Let it be done for you as you wish."

And the woman's daughter was healed

from that hour.

Liturgy of the Word

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

At the mountain of God, Horeb,

Elijah came to a cave where he took shelter.

Then the LORD said to him,

“Go outside and stand on the mountain

before the LORD;

the LORD will be passing by.”

A strong and heavy wind was rending the

mountains

and crushing rocks before the LORD—

but the LORD was not in the wind.

After the wind there was an earthquake—

but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

After the earthquake there was fire—

but the LORD was not in the fire.

After the fire there was a tiny whispering

sound.

When he heard this,

Elijah hid his face in his cloak

and went and stood at the entrance of

the cave.

The Word of the Lord,

~Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm 

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

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

 grant us your salvation.

I will hear what God proclaims;

the LORD — for he proclaims peace.

Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,

glory dwelling in our land.

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

Kindness and truth shall meet;

justice and peace shall kiss.

Truth shall spring out of the earth,

and justice shall look down from heaven.

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

The LORD himself will give his benefits;

our land shall yield its increase.

Justice shall walk before him,

and prepare the way of his steps.

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

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

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

my conscience joins with the Holy Spirit

in bearing me witness

that I have great sorrow and constant

anguish in my heart.

For I could wish that I myself were

accursed and cut off from Christ

for the sake of my own people,

my kindred according to the flesh.

They are Israelites;

theirs the adoption, the glory, the

covenants,

the giving of the law, the worship, and

the promises;

theirs the patriarchs, and from them,

according to the flesh, is the Christ,

who is over all, God blessed forever.

Amen.

Gospel Matthew 14:22-33

After he had fed the people, Jesus made the

disciples get into a boat

and precede him to the other side,

while he dismissed the crowds.

After doing so, he went up on the mountain by

himself to pray.

When it was evening he was there alone.

Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore,

was being tossed about by the waves, for the

wind was against it.

During the fourth watch of the night,

he came toward them walking on the sea.

When the disciples saw him walking on the sea

they were terrified.

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

At once Jesus spoke to them, “Take courage,

it is I; do not be afraid.”

Peter said to him in reply,

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

on the water.”

He said, “Come.”

Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on

the water toward Jesus.

But when he saw how strong the wind was he

became frightened;

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

Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and

caught Peter,

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

doubt?”

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

Those who were in the boat did him homage,

saying,

“Truly, you are the Son of God.”

Homily

Profession of Faith:

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, 

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

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten,

not made, consubstantial with the Father;

through Him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake He was crucified under

Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated

at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead

and His kingdom will have no end.  

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored

and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Gospel Matthew 14:13-21

When Jesus heard of the death of John the

Baptist,

he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by

himself. The crowds heard of this and followed him on

foot from their towns. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he

cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples approached

him and said, “This is a deserted place and it is already late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the

villages and buy food for themselves.” Jesus said to them, “There is no need for them

to go away; give them some food yourselves.” But they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.” Then he said, “Bring them here to me,” and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the

grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and

looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over— twelve wicker baskets full. Those who ate were about five thousand men, not counting women and children.

1st Reading 1 Kings 3:5, 7-12

The LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream at night. God said, "Ask something of me and I will give it to you." Solomon answered: "O LORD, my God, you have made me, your servant, king to succeed my father David; but I am a mere youth, not knowing at all how to act. I serve you in the midst of the people whom you have chosen, a people so vast that it cannot be numbered or counted. Give your servant, therefore, an understanding heart to judge your people and to distinguish right from wrong. For who is able to govern this vast people of yours?" The LORD was pleased that Solomon made this request. So God said to him: "Because you have asked for this— not for a long life for yourself, nor for riches, nor for the life of your enemies, but for understanding so that you may know what is right— I do as you requested. I give you a heart so wise and understanding that there has never been anyone like you up to now, and after you there will come no one to equal you."

Matthew 13:44-52

Jesus said to his disciples: "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind. When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away. Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. "Do you understand all these things?" They answered, "Yes." And he replied, "Then every scribe who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old."

Matthew 13:44-46

Jesus said to his disciples:

"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field,

1st Reading Wisdom 12:13, 16-19

There is no god besides you who have the care of all, that you need show you have not unjustly condemned. For your might is the source of justice; your mastery over all things makes you lenient to all. For you show your might when the perfection of your

power is disbelieved; and in those who know you, you rebuke temerity. But though you are master of might, you judge with

clemency, and with much lenience you govern us; for power, whenever you will, attends you. And you taught your people, by these deeds, that those who are just must be kind; and you gave your children good ground for hope that you would permit repentance for their sins.

Gospel

Matthew 13:24-43 or Matthew 13:24-30

Matthew 13:24-43

Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds

, saying:

"The kingdom of heaven may be likened

to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

While everyone was asleep his enemy came

and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and

then went off.

When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds

appeared as well.

The slaves of the householder came to him and

said,

'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field?

Where have the weeds come from?'

He answered, 'An enemy has done this.'

His slaves said to him,

'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'

He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weeds

you might uproot the wheat along with them.

Let them grow together until harvest;

then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters,

"First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles

for burning;

but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

He proposed another parable to them.

"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed

that a person took and sowed in a field.

It is the smallest of all the seeds,

yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants.

It becomes a large bush,

and the 'birds of the sky come and dwell in its

branches.'"

He spoke to them another parable.

"The kingdom of heaven is like yeast

that a woman took and mixed with three

measures of wheat flour

until the whole batch was leavened."

All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in

parables.

He spoke to them only in parables,

to fulfill what had been said through the prophet:

I will open my mouth in parables,
I will announce what has lain hidden from the
foundation
of the world.

Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the

house.

His disciples approached him and said,

"Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."

He said in reply, "He who sows good seed is the

Son of Man,

the field is the world, the good seed the children

of the kingdom.

The weeds are the children of the evil one,

and the enemy who sows them is the devil.

The harvest is the end of the age, and the

harvesters are angels.

Just as weeds are collected and burned up with

fire,

so will it be at the end of the age.

The Son of Man will send his angels,

and they will collect out of his kingdom

all who cause others to sin and all evildoers.

They will throw them into the fiery furnace,

where there will be wailing and grinding of

teeth.

Then the righteous will shine like the sun

in the kingdom of their Father.

Whoever has ears ought to hear."

Matthew 13:24-30

Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds,

saying: "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then

1st Reading Isaiah 55:10-11

Thus says the LORD: Just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; my word shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it.

Responsorial Psalm 

Psalm 65:10, 11, 12-13, 14

R. (Lk 8:8) The seed that falls on good ground will

yield a fruitful harvest. You have visited the land and watered it; greatly have you enriched it. God's watercourses are filled; you have prepared the grain. R. The seed that falls on good ground will yield a

fruitful harvest. Thus have you prepared the land: drenching its furrows, breaking up its clods, Softening it with showers, blessing its yield. R. The seed that falls on good ground will yield a

fruitful harvest. You have crowned the year with your bounty, and your paths overflow with a rich harvest; The untilled meadows overflow with it, and rejoicing clothes the hills. R. The seed that falls on good ground will yield a

fruitful harvest. The fields are garmented with flocks and the valleys blanketed with grain. They shout and sing for joy. R. The seed that falls on good ground will yield a

fruitful harvest.

2nd Reading Romans 8:18-23 Brothers and sisters: I consider that the sufferings of this present time

are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us. For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God; for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who

subjected it, in hope that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children

of God. We know that all creation is groaning in labor pain

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.

Gospel Matthew 13:1-23

On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down

by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and

choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. Whoever has ears ought to hear.” The disciples approached him and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” He said to them in reply, “Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of

heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted. To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand. Isaiah's prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says: You shall indeed hear but not understand, you shall indeed look but never see. Gross is the heart of this people, they will hardly hear with their ears, they have closed their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their hearts and be converted, and I heal them. “But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. "Hear then the parable of the sower. The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the kingdom without understanding it, and the evil one comes and steals away what was sown in his heart. The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy. But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away. The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit. But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.” or Matthew 13:1-9

On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat

Brothers and sisters: 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. 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.

Liturgy of the Word

1st Reading 2 Kings 4:8-11, 14-16a

One day Elisha came to Shunem, where there was a woman of influence,

who urged him to dine with her. Afterward, whenever he passed by, he

used to stop there to dine. So she said to her husband, “I know that

Elisha is a holy man of God. Since he visits us often, let us arrange a

little room on the roof and furnish it for him with a bed, table,

chair, and lamp, so that when he comes to us he can

stay there.” Sometime later Elisha arrived and stayed

in the room overnight. Later Elisha asked, “Can something be

done for her?” His servant Gehazi answered, “Yes! She has no son, and her husband is

getting on in years.” Elisha said, “Call her.” When the woman had been called

and stood at the door, Elisha promised, “This time next year you will be fondling a baby son.”

Responsorial Psalm 

Psalm 89:2-3, 16-17, 18-19

R. (2a) Forever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

The promises of the LORD I will sing forever,

through all generations my mouth shall proclaim

your faithfulness.

For you have said, “My kindness is established forever;”

in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness.

R. Forever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

Blessed the people who know the joyful shout;

in the light of your countenance,

O LORD, they walk.

R. Forev er I will sing the goodnessof the Lord.

R. Forever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

2nd Reading Romans 6:3-4, 8-11

Brothers and sisters:

Are you unaware that we who were

baptized into Christ Jesus

were baptized into his death?

We were indeed buried with him

through baptism into death,

so that, just as Christ was raised from

the dead

by the glory of the Father,

we too might live in newness of life.

If, then, we have died with Christ,

we believe that we shall also live with

him.

We know that Christ, raised from the

dead, dies no more;

death no longer has power over him.

As to his death, he died to sin once

and for all;

as to his life, he lives for God.

Consequently, you too must think of

yourselves as dead to sin

and living for God in Christ Jesus.

The Word of the Lord,

~Thanks be to God

Gospel Matthew 10:37-42

Jesus said to his apostles:

“Whoever loves father or mother more

than me is not worthy of me,

and whoever loves son or daughter more

than me is not worthy of me;

and whoever does not take up his cross

and follow after me is not worthy of me.

Whoever finds his life will lose it,

and whoever loses his life for my sake

will find it." "Whoever receives you

receives me,

and whoever receives me receives the

one who sent me.

Whoever receives a prophet because

he is a prophet

will receive a prophet’s reward,

and whoever receives a righteous man

because he is a righteous man

will receive a righteous man’s reward.

And whoever gives only a cup of cold

water

to one of these little ones to drink

because the little one is a disciple—

amen, I say to you, he will surely not

lose his reward.”

The Gospel of the Lord,

~ Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ

Homily

Profession of Faith:

I believe in one God, the Father 

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

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten,

not made, consubstantial with the

Father; through Him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.  

For our sake He was crucified under

Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the

Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead

and His kingdom will have no end.  

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the

giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the

Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored

and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and

apostolic Church.

I confess one Baptism for the

forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection

of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Liturgy of the Word

1st Reading Jeremiah 20:10-13

Jeremiah said:
"I hear the whisperings of many:
'Terror on every side!
Denounce! let us denounce him!'
All those who were my friends
are on the watch for any misstep of mine.
'Perhaps he will be trapped; then we can prevail,
and take our vengeance on him.'
But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion:
my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph.
In their failure they will be put to utter shame,
to lasting, unforgettable confusion.
O LORD of hosts, you who test the just,
who probe mind and heart,
let me witness the vengeance you take on them,
for to you I have entrusted my cause.
Sing to the LORD,
praise the LORD,
for he has rescued the life of the poor
from the power of the wicked!"

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 69:8-10, 14, 17, 33-35

R. (14c) Lord, in your great love, answer me.
For your sake I bear insult,
and shame covers my face.
I have become an outcast to my brothers,
a stranger to my mother's children,
Because zeal for your house consumes me,
and the insults of those who blaspheme you fall upon me.
R. Lord, in your great love, answer me.
I pray to you, O LORD,
for the time of your favor, O God!
In your great kindness answer me
with your constant help.
Answer me, O LORD, for bounteous is your kindness;
in your great mercy turn toward me.
R. Lord, in your great love, answer me.
"See, you lowly ones, and be glad;
you who seek God, may your hearts revive!
For the LORD hears the poor,
and his own who are in bonds he spurns not.
Let the heavens and the earth praise him,
the seas and whatever moves in them!''
R. Lord, in your great love, answer me.

2nd Reading Romans 5:12-15

Brothers and sisters:

Through one man sin entered the world,

and through sin, death,

and thus death came to all men, inasmuch as all sinned—

for up to the time of the law, sin was in the world,

though sin is not accounted when there is no law.

But death reigned from Adam to Moses,

even over those who did not sin

after the pattern of the trespass of Adam,

who is the type of the one who was to come.

But the gift is not like the transgression.

For if by the transgression of the one the many died,

how much more did the grace of God

and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ

overflow for the many.

The Word of the Lord,

~Thanks be to God

Gospel Matthew 10:26-33

Jesus said to the Twelve:

"Fear no one.

Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed,

nor secret that will not be known.

What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light;

what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.

And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul;

rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy

both soul and body in Gehenna.

Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin?

Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge.

Even all the hairs of your head are counted.

So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Everyone who acknowledges me before others

I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.

But whoever denies me before others,

I will deny before my heavenly Father."

1st Reading Exodus 19:2-6a

In those days, the Israelites came

to the desert of Sinai and pitched camp.
While Israel was encamped here

in front of the mountain,
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.”

2nd Reading Romans 5:6-11

Brothers and sisters:
Christ, while we were still helpless,
yet died at the appointed time

for the ungodly.
Indeed, only with difficulty does

one die for a just person,
though perhaps for a good person
one might even find courage to die.
But God proves his love for us
in that while we were still sinners

Christ died for us.
How much more then, since we

are now justified by his blood,
will we be saved through him from

the wrath.
Indeed, if, while we were enemies,
we were reconciled to God through

the death of his Son,
how much more, once reconciled,
will we be saved by his life.
Not only that,
but we also boast of God through

our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have now received

reconciliation.

Gospel Matthew 9:36—10:8

At the sight of the crowds, Jesus’

heart was moved with pity for them
because they were troubled and

abandoned,
like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples,
“The harvest is abundant but the

laborers are few;
so ask the master of the harvest
to send out laborers for his harvest.”

Then he summoned his twelve

disciples
and gave them authority over

unclean spirits
to drive them out and to cure every

disease and every illness.
The names of the twelve apostles

are these:
first, Simon called Peter, and his

brother Andrew;
James, the son of Zebedee, and

his brother John;
Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas

and Matthew the tax collector;
James, the son of Alphaeus, and

Thaddeus;
Simon from Cana, and Judas Iscariot

who betrayed him.

Jesus sent out these twelve after

instructing them thus,
“Do not go into pagan territory or

enter a Samaritan town.
Go rather to the lost sheep of the

house of Israel.
As you go, make this proclamation:

‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’
Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse

lepers, drive out demons.
Without cost you have received;

without cost you are to give.”

He therefore let you be afflicted with

hunger,

alone does one live,

but by every word that comes forth from

the mouth of the LORD.

"Do not forget the LORD, your God,

who brought you out of the land of Egypt,

that place of slavery;

who guided you through the vast and

terrible desert

with its saraph serpents and scorpions,

its parched and waterless ground;

who brought forth water for you from

the flinty rock

and fed you in the desert with manna,

a food unknown to your fathers."

Gospel Jn 6:51-58

Jesus said to the Jewish crowds:

"I am the living bread that came down from heaven;

whoever eats this bread will live

forever; and the bread

that I will give is my flesh for the life

of the world."

The Jews quarreled among themselves,

saying,

"How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

Jesus said to them,

"Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the

Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my

blood

has eternal life, and I will raise him on the

last day.

For my flesh is true food, and my blood is

true drink.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my

blood

remains in me and I in him.

Just as the living Father sent me

and I have life because of the Father,

so also the one who feeds on me

will have life because of me.

This is the bread that came down from

heaven.

Unlike your ancestors who ate and

still died,

whoever eats this bread will live forever."

Profession of Faith:

I believe in one God, the Father

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

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten,

not made, consubstantial with the

Father; through Him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake He was crucified under

Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the

Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead

and His kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the

giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the

Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored

and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and

apostolic Church.

I confess one Baptism for the

forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection

of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Liturgy of the Word

1st Reading Exodus 34:4b-6, 8-9

Early in the morning Moses went

up Mount Sinai
as the LORD had commanded him,
taking along the two stone tablets.

Having come down in a cloud, the

LORD stood with Moses there
and proclaimed his name, "LORD."
Thus the LORD passed before him

and cried out,
"The LORD, the LORD, a merciful

and gracious God,
slow to anger and rich in kindness

and fidelity."
Moses at once bowed down to the

ground in worship.
Then he said, "If I find favor with you,

O Lord,
do come along in our company.
This is indeed a stiff-necked people;

yet pardon our wickedness and sins,
and receive us as your own."

God so loved the world that he

gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in

him might not perish
but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into

the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved

through him.
Whoever believes in him will not be

condemned,
but whoever does not believe has

already been condemned,
because he has not believed in the

name of the only Son of God.

1st Reading Acts 2:1-11

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."

Brothers and sisters:
No one can say, "Jesus is Lord,"

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.

On the evening of that first day

when the doors were locked, where

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

And when he had said this, he breathed

"Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
