THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
A reading from the book of
Deuteronomy
Moses said to the people: “Put this
question to the ages that are past, that
went before you, from the time God
created man on earth: was there ever a
word so majestic, from one end of heaven
to the other? Was anything ever heard?
Did ever a people hear the voice of the
living God speaking from the heart of the
fire, as you heard it, and remain alive?
Has any god ventured to take to himself
one nation from the midst of another by
ordeals, sings, wonders, war with mighty
hand and outstretched arm, by fear-some
terrors – all this that the Lord your God
did for you before your eyes in Egypt?
“This he showed you so that you might
know that the Lord is God indeed and that
there is no other. He let you hear his
voice out of heaven for your instruction;
on earth he let you see his great fire, and
from the heart of the fire you heard his
word. Because he loved your fathers and
chose their descendants after them, he
brought you out from Egypt, openly
showing his presence and his great power,
driving out in front of you nations greater
and more powerful that yourself, and
brought you into their land to give it to
you for your heritage, as it is still today.
“Understand this today, therefore, and
take it to heart: the Lord is God indeed, in
heaven above as on earth beneath, he and
no other. Keep his laws and
commandments as I give them to you
today, so that you and your children may
prosper and live long in the land that the
Lord your God gives you for ever”.
R// The Word of the Lord
A// Thanks be to God
 RESPONSORIAL PSALM
R. I remember the deeds of the Lord.
I remember the deeds of the Lord,
I remember your wonders of old,
I muse on all your works
And ponder your mighty deeds.
R. I remember the deeds of the Lord.
Your ways, O God, are holy.
What god is great as our God?
You are the God who works wonders
You showed your power among the
peoples.
R. I remember the deeds of the Lord.
Your strong arm redeemed your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph.
You guided your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
R. I remember the deeds of the Lord.
GOSPEL
D// The Lord be with you
A// And with your Spirit
D// Reading from the holy Gospel
according to Matthew
A// Glory to you, O Lord
A man came up to Jesus and went down
on his knees before him. “Lord”, he said
“take pity on my son: he is a lunatic and
in a wretched state; he is always falling
into the fire or into the water. I took him
to your disciples and the were unable to
cure him.” “Faithless and perverse
generation!” Jesus said in reply “How
much longer must I be with you? How
much longer must I put up with you?
Bring him here to me”. And when Jesus
rebuked it the devil came out of the boy
who was cured from that moment.
Then the disciples came privately to
Jesus. “Why were we unable to cast it
out?” they asked. He answered, “Because
you have little faith. I tell you solemnly if
your faith were the size of a mustard seed
you could say to this mountain” “More
from here to there”, and it would move;
nothing would be impossible for you”.
D// The Gospel of the Lord
A// Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ

I will come to you in the silence

I will lift you from all your fear
You will hear My voice
I claim you as My choice
Be still, and know I am near
I am hope for all who are hopeless
I am eyes for all who long to see
In the shadows of the night,
I will be your light
Come and rest in Me
Do not be afraid, I am with you
I have called you each by name
Come and follow Me
I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine.
