LITURGY OF THE WORD
A reading from the book of the Prophet Jeremiah
I knew their plot because the LORD informed me;
at that time you, O LORD, showed me their doings.
Yet I, like a trusting lamb led to slaughter,
had not realized that they were hatching plots against me:
"Let us destroy the tree in its vigor;
let us cut him off from the land of the living,
so that his name will be spoken no more."
But, you, O LORD of hosts, O just Judge,
searcher of mind and heart,
Let me witness the vengeance you take on them,
for to you I have entrusted my cause!
The Word of the Lord.
ALL : Thanks be to God
Responsorial Psalm PS 7:2-3, 9BC-10, 11-12
R. (2a) O Lord, my God, in you I take refuge.
O LORD, my God, in you I take refuge;
save me from all my pursuers and rescue me,
Lest I become like the lion's prey,
to be torn to pieces, with no one to rescue me.
R. O Lord, my God, in you I take refuge.
Do me justice, O LORD, because I am just,
and because of the innocence that is mine.
Let the malice of the wicked come to an end,
but sustain the just,
O searcher of heart and soul, O just God.
R. O Lord, my God, in you I take refuge.
A shield before me is God,
who saves the upright of heart;
A just judge is God,
a God who punishes day by day.
R. O Lord, my God, in you I take refuge.
 thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
OUR FATHER and the light unto my path.
Your the lamp unto my path.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come, CELEBRANT: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. John

ALL : Glory to you O Lord
Some in the crowd who heard these words of Jesus said,
"This is truly the Prophet."
Others said, "This is the Christ."
But others said, "The Christ will not come from Galilee, will
he?
Does not Scripture say that the Christ will be of David's family
and come from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?"
So a division occurred in the crowd because of him.
Some of them even wanted to arrest him,
but no one laid hands on him.
So the guards went to the chief priests and Pharisees,
who asked them, "Why did you not bring him?"
The guards answered, "Never before has anyone spoken
like this man."
So the Pharisees answered them, "Have you also been
deceived?
Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in
him?
But this crowd, which does not know the law, is
accursed."
Nicodemus, one of their members who had come to him
earlier, said to them, 
"Does our law condemn a man before it first hears him
and finds out what he is doing?"
They answered and said to him,
"You are not from Galilee also, are you?
Look and see that no prophet arises from Galilee."
Then each went to his own house
.
THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD.
ALL : Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Remember also our brothers and sisters who have
fallen asleep in the hope of resurrection, and all who
have died in your mercy. Welcome them into the light of
your face. Have mercy on us all, we pray that with the
Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with the Blessed
Apostles, and all the saints who have pleased you
throughout the ages, we may merit to be co –heirs to
eternal life, and may praise and glorify you, through
your Son, Jesus Christ. Through Him, with Him. in
Him, in the unity of the holy spirit, all glory and honors
is yours, almighty Father, forever and ever.
AMEN (SUNG)
GREAT AMEN:

ACCLAMATION SONG:

Rising you restored our life
Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus come in glory.
CELEBRANT: Therefore as we celebrate the memorial
of his death

and the chalice of salvation, giving you thanks that
