I confess to almighty God

that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault,
through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

May almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins,
and bring us to everlasting life.

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.

Let us pray.

Amen.

1 Corinthians 12:31-13:13

1 Corinthians

^12:31 Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts. The Way of Love. But I shall show you a still more excellent way.

^13:1 Chapter 13 - If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.

^13:2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.

^13:3 If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.

^13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated,

^13:5 it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,

^13:6 it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.

^13:7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

^13:8 Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.

^13:9 For we know partially and we prophesy partially,

^13:10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

^13:11 When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.

^13:12 At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.

^13:13 So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Psalm 33:2-3, 4-5, 12 and 22

Psalms

^33:3 Sing to him a new song; skillfully play with joyful chant.

^33:4 For the LORD’s word is upright; all his works are trustworthy.

^33:5 He loves justice and right. The earth is full of the mercy of the LORD.

^33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people chosen as his inheritance.

^33:22 May your mercy, LORD, be upon us; as we put our hope in you.

Gospel Acclamation

The Lord be with you.

And with your spirit.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to N.

Glory to you, O Lord.

Luke 7:31-35

Luke

^7:31 “Then to what shall I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?

^7:32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.’

^7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine, and you said, ‘He is possessed by a demon.’

^7:34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’

^7:35 But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.” The Pardon of the Sinful Woman.

Homily

The Niceno-Constantinopolitan 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.

- Lord, in your mercy.
- We pray to the lord.

Lord, Hear our prayer.

Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters),
that my sacrifice and yours
may be acceptable to God,
the almighty Father.

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands
for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good
and the good of all his holy Church.

O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is yours,
for ever and ever.

and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
