Mei 26, 2013

ENTRANCE ANTI.
Blessed be God the Father and his only begotten Son and the Holy Spirit: for he has shown that he loves us.
OPENING PRAYER
Let us pray:
Father, you sent your Word to bring us truth and your Spirit to make us holy. Through them we come to know the
mystery of your life. Help us to worship you, one God in three Persons, by proclaiming and living our faith in you.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever. R: Amen
FIRST READING
A reading from the book of Proverbs 8:22-31
Before the earth came into being, Wisdom was born.
The Wisdom of God cries aloud;
The Lord created me when his purpose first unfolded, before the oldest of his works. From everlasting I was firmly
set, from the beginning, before earth came into being. The deep was not, when I was born, there were no springs to
gush with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I came to birth; before he made the earth, the
countryside, or the first grains of the worlds dust. When he fixed the heavens firm, I was there, when he drew a ring
on the surface of the deep, when he thickened the clouds above, when he fixed fast the springs of the deep, when he
assigned the sea its boundaries - and the waters will not invade the shore - when he laid down the foundations of
the earth, I was by his side, a master craftsman, delighting him day after day, ever at play in his presence, at play
everywhere in his world, delighting to be with the sons of men.
This is the Word of the Lord.

R: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm
R: How great is your name, O Lord our God, through all the earth.
1. When I see the heavens, the work of your hands, the moon and the stars which you arranged, what is man that
you should keep him in mind, mortal man that you care for him?
R:
2. Yet you have made him little less than a god; with glory and honor you crowned him, gave him power over
the works of your hand, put all things under his feet. R:
3. All of them, sheep and cattle, yes, even the savage beasts, birds of the air, and fish that make their way
through the waters. R:
SECOND READING
A reading from the letter St Paul to the Romans 5:1-5
To God, through Christ, in the love poured out by the Spirit.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, by faith we are judged righteous and at peace with God, since it is by faith and
through Jesus that we have entered this state of grace in which we can boast about looking forward to God's glory.
But that is not all we can boast about; we can boast about our sufferings. These sufferings bring patience, as we
know, and patience brings perseverance, and perseverance brings hope, and this hope is not deceptive, because the
love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given us.
This is the Word of the Lord.
R: Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL
John 16:12-15
R: Alleluia, alleluia! Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the God who is, who was, and
who is to come.
R: Alleluia!
The Lord be with you.
R: And also be with you
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John
R: Glory to you, Lord.
Everything the Father has is mine;
all the Spirit tells you will be taken from what is mine.
Jesus said to his disciples:
'I still have many things to say to you but they would be too much for you now. But when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth, since he will not be speaking as from himself but will say only what he has
learnt; and he will tell you of the things to come.

He will glorify me, since all he tells you will be taken from what is mine. Everything the Father has is mine; that is
why I said: All he tells you will be taken from what is mine.'
This is the Gospel of the Lord.

R: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

HOMILY - THE PROFESSION OF FAITH:
