Today
is a good day for the first Mass of a group stressing worship and prayer. The texts assigned in the Missal speak
beautifully of calling on God from the depths of our being, of praising God, and of instructing one another in worship.
Introit
(Jer 29:11; 29:12; 29:14; ) The Lord says: I
think thoughts of peace, and not of affliction. You shall call upon Me, and I will hear you; and I will bring back your
captivity from all places. (Ps 84:2) You have favored, O Lord, Your land;
You have restored the well-being of Jacob. Glory be to the Father and to the
Son and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall
be, world without end. Amen
Lesson
(Colossians
3:12-17) Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion,
kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, forbearing one another and, if one
has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven
you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds
everything together in perfect harmony. And
let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in
the one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,
teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and sing psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do
everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father
through him.
Gradual
(Ps
43:8-9) You saved us, O Lord, from our foes: and those who hated us, you put to
shame. In God we gloried day by day;
Your name we praised always.
Offertory
(Ps 129:1-2) Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord: Lord, hear my prayer! Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.
(Ps 129:1-2) Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord: Lord, hear my prayer! Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.
Communion Verse
(Mark 11:24) Amen I say to you, all things, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe
that you shall receive, and it shall be done to you.
