ENTRANCE HYMN


Amazing Grace 

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me, I once was lost
but now I'm found, was blind but now I see 

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fear relieved, how precious did
that grace appear. The hour I first believed.

Gloria

Refrain:

Glory to God, Glory to God,

Glory to God in the highest

And on earth, peace on earth

Peace to people of goodwill.


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.


Refrain:

Glory to God, Glory to God,

Glory to God in the highest

And on earth, peace on earth

Peace to people of goodwill.


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

The right hand  of the Father

Have mercy on us....


Refrain:

Glory to God, Glory to God,

Glory to God in the highest

And on earth, peace on earth

Peace to people of goodwill.


For You al- one are the Holy One

You alone are the Lord.

You alone are the most High,  

Jesus Christ.

With the  Ho- ly Spi- rit, in the glory

Of God  the Father.


Glory  to God, Glory to God,

Glory to God in the highest

And on earth, peace on earth

Peace to people of good will

Amen, Amen.



1st Reading – Ezekiel 18:25-28

Thus says the LORD:

You say, “The LORD’s way is not fair!” Hear now, house of Israel: Is it my way that is unfair, or rather, are not your ways unfair? When someone virtuous turns away from virtue to commit iniquity, and dies, it is because of the iniquity he committed that he must die. But if he turns from the wickedness he has committed, he does what is right and just, he shall preserve his life; since he has turned away from all the sins that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.


Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 25:4-5, 6-7, 8-9

R.  Remember your mercies, O Lord.


Your ways, O LORD, make known to me;

teach me your paths, guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior.

R. Remember your mercies, O Lord.


Remember that your compassion, O LORD,

and your love are from of old. The sins of my youth and my frailties remember not; in your kindness remember me, because of your goodness, O LORD.

R. Remember your mercies, O Lord.


Good and upright is the LORD; thus he shows sinners the way. He guides the humble to justice, and teaches the humble his way.

R. Remember your mercies, O Lord.


2nd Reading – Philippians 2:1-11

Brothers and sisters:

If there is any encouragement in Christ, any solace in love, any participation in the Spirit, any compassion and mercy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love, united in heart, thinking one thing. Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but also for those of others. Have in you the same attitude that is also in Christ Jesus, Who, 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.


Or Philippians 2:1-5

Brothers and sisters:

If there is any encouragement in Christ, any solace in love, any participation in the Spirit, any compassion and mercy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love, united in heart, thinking one thing. Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but also for those of others. Have in you the same attitude that is also in Christ Jesus,


Alleliua – John 10:27

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they follow me.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.


Gospel – Matthew 21:28-32

Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people:

“What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ He said in reply, ‘I will not, ‘ but afterwards changed his mind and went. The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, ‘Yes, sir, ‘ but did not go. Which of the two did his father’s will?” They answered, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you. When John came to you in the way of righteousness, you did not believe him; but tax collectors and prostitutes did. Yet even when you saw that, you did not later change your minds and believe him.”


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, 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 present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.


RECESSIONAL HYMN


I will sing of the mercies of the Lord

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord
Forever I will sing, I will sing

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord
Forever I will sing, I will sing

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord
Forever I will sing of the mercies of the Lord
