 First Reading
A proclamation from the First Letter of John
Beloved: Who indeed is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus
is the Son of God? This is the one who came through water and Blood, Jesus Christ,
not by water alone, but by water and Blood. The Spirit is the one who testifies, and the
Spirit is truth. So there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water, and the Blood, and
the three are of one accord. If we accept human testimony, the testi- mony of God is
surely greater. Now the testimony of God is this, that he has testified on behalf of his
Son. Whoever be- lieves in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. Whoever
does not believe God has made him a liar by not be- lieving the testimony God has
given about his Son. And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is
in his Son. Whoever possesses the Son has life; whoever does not possess the Son of
God does not have life.
I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who
be- lieve in the name of the Son of God.

The Word of the Lord!

All – Thanks be to God!
 Responsorial Psalm

 Gospel
A proclamation from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

This is what John the Baptist proclaimed: “One mightier than

I is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the
thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will
baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of
Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. On coming up
out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the
Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice came
from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am
well pleased.”

The Gospel of the Lord!

All – Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

Ama namin Sumasalangit ka, sambahin ang ngalan Mo.
Mapasaamin ang kaharian Mo, sundin and loob Mo. Dito
sa lupa para ng sa langit. Bigyan Mo po kami ngayon ng
aming kakanin sa araw-araw at patawarin Mo kami sa
aming mga sala.
Para nang pagpapatawad namin sa nagkakasala sa amin
at huwag Mo kaming ipahintulot sa tukso at iadya Mo
kami sa lahat ng masama.
For the kingdom, the power and the glory
are yours, now and for ever.

 O Diyos ikaw ang laging hanap
Loob ko'y ikaw ang tanging hangad
Nauuhaw akong parang tigang na lupa
Sa tubig ng 'yong pag-aaruga
Ika'y pagmamasdan sa dakong banal
Nang makita ko ang 'yong pagkarangal
Dadalangin akong nakataas aking kamay
Magagalak na aawit ng papuring iaalay
Gunita ko'y ikaw
Habang nahihimlay
Pagkat ang tulong mo sa tuwina'y taglay
Sa lilim ng iyong mga pakpak
Umaawit akong buong galak
Aking kaluluwa'y kumakapit sa 'yo
Kaligtasa'y t'yak kong hawak mo ako
Magdiriwang ang hari ang Diyos s'yang dahilan
Ang sa iyo ay nangakong galak yaong
makakamtan
Gunita ko'y ikaw
Habang nahihimlay
Pagkat ang tulong mo sa tuwina'y taglay
Sa lilim ng iyong mga pakpak
Umaawit umaawit umaawit akong buong galak

 Divine Jesus, you have said, . „Ask, and you shall receive;
. seek, and you shall find; . knock, and it shall be opened unto you.‰ . Behold me kneeling at your feet, .
filled with a lively faith and confidence . in the promises dictated by your Sacred Heart . and pronounced by
your adorable lips. . I come to ask this favor: (Silently mention your petitions.)
To whom can I turn if not to you . whose heart is the source of all graces and merits? . Where should I seek if
not in the treasure . which contains all the riches of your kindness and mercy? . Where should I knock . if not
at the door through which God gives himself to us . and through which we go to God? . I have recourse to
you, Heart of Jesus. . In you I find consolation when afflicted, . protec- tion when persecuted, . strength when
burdened with trials, . and light in doubt and darkness.
Dear Jesus, I firmly believe . that you can grant me the grace I implore, . even though it should require a
miracle. . You have only to will it, . and my prayer will be granted. . I admit that I am most unworthy of your
favors, . but this is not a reason for me to be discouraged. . You are the God of mercy . and you will not refuse
a contrite heart. . Cast upon me a look of mercy, I beg of you, . and your kind heart will find in my miseries
and weaknesses
. a reason for granting my prayer.
O Sacred Heart, . whatever may be your decision with regard to my request, . I will never stop adoring, loving,
praising, and serving you. . My Jesus, be pleased to accept this my act of perfect resigna- tion . to the decrees
of your adorable heart . which I sincerely desire may be fulfilled . in and by me and by all your creatures for
ever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, . I know that there is but one thing impos- sible to you: . to be without pity for
those who are suffering or in distress. . Look upon me, I beg of you, dear Jesus, . and grant me the grace for
which I humbly implore you . through the Immaculate Heart of your most sorrowful Mother. . You have
entrusted me to her as her child, . and her prayers are all-powerful with you. . Amen!
 The Lord be with you.

All –And with your spirit!

Amen!
Thanks be to God!
