We stand before You, Holy Spirit,as we gather together in Your name.

With You alone to guide us,make Yourself at home in our hearts;Teach us the way we must goand how we are to pursue it.

We are weak and sinful;do not let us promote disorder.Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong pathnor partiality influence our actions.

Let us find in You our unityso that we may journey together to eternal lifeand not stray from the way of truthand what is right.

All this we ask of You,who are at work in every place and time,in the communion of the Father and the Son,forever and ever.Amen.

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.

Upright is the word of the LORD, and all his works are trustworthy.He loves justice and right; of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full. +

See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him, upon those who hope for his kindness,To deliver them from death and preserve them in spite of famine. +

Our soul waits for the LORD, who is our help and our shield.May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us who have put our hope in you. +

f i r S t r e a d i n g Isaiah 53:10-11

The LORD was pleased to crush him in infirmity.

If he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life, and the will of the LORD shall be accomplished through him.

Because of his affliction he shall see the light in fullness of days;through his suffering, my servant shall justify many, and their guilt he shall bear.

The word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

S e g u n d a l e c t u r a Hebreos 4, 14-16

Hermanos:Puesto que Jesús, el Hijo de Dios, es nuestro sumo sacerdote, que ha entrado en el cielo, mantengamos firme la profesión de nuestra fe.En efecto, no tenemos un sumo sacerdote que no sea capaz de compadecerse de nuestros sufrimientos, puesto que él mismo ha pasado por las mismas pruebas que nosotros, excepto el pecado.

Acerquémonos, por lo tanto, con plena confianza al trono de la gracia, para recibir misericordia, hallar la gracia y obtener ayuda en el momento oportuno.

Palabra de Dios.Te alabamos Señor.

The Son of Man came to serveand to give his life as a ransom for many.

g o S p e l Mark 10:35-45 or 10:42-45

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to him,“Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” He replied, “What do you wish me to do for you?” They answered him, “Grant that in your glorywe may sit one at your right and the other at your left.” Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drinkor be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”

Brothers and sisters:Since we have a great high priestwho has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God,let us hold fast to our confession.For we do not have a high priestwho is unable to sympathizewith our weaknesses,but one who has similarly been testedin every way,yet without sin.

So let us confidently approachthe throne of graceto receive mercy and to find gracefor timely help.

They said to him, “We can.” Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink, you will drink,and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized;but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to givebut is for those for whom it has been prepared.” When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John.Jesus summoned them and said to them,“You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentileslord it over them,and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you.Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant;whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be servedbut to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

The Gospel of the Lord.Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

p r o f e S S i o n o f f a i t h

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, up to and including “and became man,” all bow: and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

Response: Grant this, almighty God.

ForoursakehewascrucifiedunderPontiusPilate, hesuffereddeathandwasburied, 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, whowiththeFatherandtheSonisadoredandglorified, 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.

Come, Holy Ghost, the maker, come;Take in the souls of thine thy place;

Thou whom our hearts had being from,Oh fill them with they heavenly grace.

Thou art that comfort from above,The highest doth by gift impart;

Thou spring of life, a fire of love,And the anointing spirit art.

The reception of Holy Communion is the most sacred act for Catholics. We believe that we are then receiving the Body and Blood of Christ. Catholics who are properly prepared should approach the ministers of Holy Communion.We ask non-Catholics not to receive. They are encouraged, however, to come forward with arms crossed over their heart to receive a blessing.

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment 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.

Hail, true body, born of the Virgin Mary,Who has truly suffered, was sacrificed on the cross for mortals,

O Jesu sweet, O Jesu pure, O Jesu, Son of Mary, have mercy upon me. Amen.

To thee we send up our sighs, groaning and weeping in this valley of tears.Hasten therefore, our Advocate, and turn your merciful eyes toward us.

And show us Jesus, the blessed fruit of your womb, after this exile.O merciful, O pious, O sweet Virgin Mary.

As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of grave sin and normally should have fasted for one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental confession except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for confession. In this case, the person is to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention of confessing as soon as possible (Code of Canon Law, canon 916). A frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all.

f o r o u r f e l l o W c h r i S t i a n S

We welcome our fellow Christians to this celebration of the Eucharist as our brothers and sisters. We pray that our common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit in this Eucharist will draw us closer to one another and begin to dispel the sad divisions which separate us. We pray that these will lessen and finally disappear, in keeping with Christ’s prayer for us “that they may all be one” (John 17:21).Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of the reality of the oneness of faith, life, and worship, members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully united are ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. Eucharistic sharing in exceptional circumstances by other Christians requires permission according to the directives of the diocesan bishop and the provisions of canon law (canon 844 §4). Members of Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, and the Polish National Catholic Church are urged to respect the discipline of their own Churches. According to Roman Catholic Discipline, the Code of Canon Law does not object to the reception of Communion by Christians of these Churches (canon 844 §3).

f o r t h o S e n o t r e c e i v i n g h o l y c o M M u n i o n

All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayerful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another.

f o r n o n - c h r i S t i a n S

We also welcome to this celebration those who do not share our faith in Jesus Christ. While we cannot admit them to Holy Communion, we ask them to offer their prayers for the peace and the unity of the human family.
