Moses spoke to all the people, saying:“A prophet like me will the LORD, your God, raise up for you from among your own kin; to him you shall listen.This is exactly what you requested of the LORD, your God, at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let us not again hear the voice of the LORD, our God, nor see this great fire any more, lest we die.’And the LORD said to me, ‘This was well said.I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kin, and will put my words into his mouth; he shall tell them all that I command him.Whoever will not listen to my words which he speaks in my name, I myself will make him answer for it.But if a prophet presumes to speak in my name an oracle that I have not commanded him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, he shall die.’”

The word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

Verses Joseph Gelineau, SJ

Come, let us ring out joy to the LORD; hail the rock who saves us.Let us come into his presence, giving thanks; let us hail him with a song of praise. +

O come; let us bow and bend low. Let us kneel before the God who made us,for he is our God, and we the people who belong to his pasture, the flock that is led by his hand. +

O that today you would listen to his voice! “Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as on that day at Massah in the desertwhen your forebears put me to the test; when they tried me, though they saw my work.” +

s e c o n d r e a d I n G 1 Corinthians 7:32-35

Brothers and sisters:I should like you to be free of anxieties.An unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord.But a married man is anxious about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, and he is divided.An unmarried woman or a virgin is anxious about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in both body and spirit.A married woman, on the other hand, is anxious about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. I am telling you this for your own benefit, not to impose a restraint upon you, but for the sake of propriety and adherence to the Lord without distraction.

The word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

G o s P e l Mark 1:21-28

Then they came to Capernaum, and on the sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and taught.The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?Have you come to destroy us?I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”Jesus rebuked him and said, “Quiet! Come out of him!”The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him.All were amazed and asked one another, “What is this?A new teaching with authority.He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.”His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.

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

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.

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.

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.

a n a c T o f s P I r I T u a l c o M M u n I o n

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.

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.
