We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son.

Entrance SongAll Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name!

All hail the pow'r of Jesus' Name! Let angels prostrate fall.Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all.Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all!

Crown him, you martyrs of our God Who from his altar call:Extol the stem of Jesse’s rod, And crown him Lord of all.Extol the stem of Jesse’s rod, And crown him Lord of all!

1st ReadingEZ 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 PsalmPsalm 25: Remember your mercies, O Lord

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.


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.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.

2nd ReadingPHIL 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 attitudethat is also in Christ Jesus,




Who, though he was in the form of God,did not regard equality with Godsomething 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 himand bestowed on him the namewhich is above every name,that at the name of Jesusevery knee should bend,of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth,and every tongue confess thatJesus Christ is Lord,to the glory of God the Father.

GospelMT 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 prostitutesare 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."

Offertory SongNo Greater Love

There is no greater love, says the Lord,than to lay down your life for a friend;there is no greater love, no greater love,than to lay down your life for a friend.

As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you.Live on in my love. You will live in my love if you keep my commands,even as I have kept my Father’s.


All this I tell you that my joy may be yours and your joy may be complete.Love one another as I have loved you: This is my command.

There is no greater love, says the Lord,than to lay down your life for a friend;there is no greater love, no greater love,




than to lay down your life for a friend.

You are my friends if you keep my commands;no longer slaves but friends to me.All I heard from my Father, I have made known to you:Now I call you friends.

There is no greater love, says the Lord,than to lay down your life for a friend;there is no greater love, no greater love,than to lay down your life for a friend.It was not you who chose me, it was I who chose you,chose you to go forth and bear fruit.Your fruit must endure,so you will receive all you ask the Father in my name.

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,I believe that You are presentin the Most Holy Sacrament.I love You above all things,and I desire to receive You into my soul.Since I cannot at this momentreceive You sacramentally,come at least spiritually into my heart.




I embrace You as if You were already thereand unite myself wholly to You.Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen

Offertory SongUnless a Grain of Wheat

Unless a grain of wheat shall fall upon the ground and die,it remains but a single grain with no life.If we have died with him, then we shall live with him;if we hold firm, we shall reign with him.

Unless a grain of wheat shall fall upon the ground and die,it remains but a single grain with no life.

If anyone serves me, then they must follow me;where-ever I am, my servants will be.


Make your home in me as I make mine in you;those who remain in me bear much fruit.


If you remain in me and my word lives in you,then you will be my disciples.





Those who love me are loved by my Father;we shall be with them and dwell in them.


Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you;peace which the world cannot give is my gift.

St. Michael’s Prayer

St. Michael the Archangel,defend us in battle.Be our defense against the wickednessand snares of the Devil.May God rebuke him,we humbly pray,and do thou,O Prince of the heavenly hosts,by the power of God,thrust into hell Satan,and all the evil spirits,who prowl about the worldseeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Recessional




Send Down the Fire

Send down the fire of your justice, Send down the rains of your love;Come, send down the Spirit, breathe life in your people,and we shall be people of God.

Call us to be your compassion, Teach us the song of your love;Give us hearts that sing, Give us deeds that ring,Make us ring with the song of your love.


Call us to learn of your mercy, Teach us the way of your peace;Give us hearts that feel, Give us hands that heal,Make us walk in the way of your peace.
