INTROIT(Ps. 42:1-2)
Do
me justice, O God, and fight against a faithless people; from the deceitful and
impious man rescue me. For You, O God, are my strength.
Ps.
42:3. Send forth Your light and Your truth; they shall lead me on and bring me
to Your holy mountain, to Your dwelling place. Do me justice, O God . . .
COLLECT
O
Almighty God, look with mercy upon Your family. Guide and guard us in body and
soul by Your bounteous grace and protection. Through Our Lord . .
EPISTLE (Heb.
9:11-15)
Brethren:
But Christ, being come an high Priest of the good things to come, by a greater
and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hand, that is, not of this creation:
Neither by the blood of goats or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once
into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats
and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer, being sprinkled, sanctify such as are
defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of
Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our
conscience from dead works, to serve the living God? And
therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death
for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former
testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
GRADUAL (Ps. 142:9,
10; 17:48-49)
Rescue
me from my enemies, O Lord. Teach me to do Your will.
V.
O Lord, who preserved me from the wrathful nations, You will exalt me above my
adversaries,You will rescue me from the man of violence.
TRACT (Ps. 128:1-4)
Often
they have fought against me from my youth.
V.
Let Israel now say, "Often have they fought against me from my youth.
V.
Yet they could not prevail over me. The wicked have furrowed my back.
V.
They have continued their iniquity, but the Lord, who is just, will humble the
pride of the sinners."
GOSPEL (John
8:46-59)
At
that time, Jesus said to the crowds of the Jews, "Which of you shall
convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me: He
that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because
you are not of God." The
Jews therefore answered and said to him: "Do not we say well that thou art
a Samaritan and hast a devil?" Jesus answered: "I have not a devil:
but I honour my Father. And you have dishonoured me. But I seek not my own
glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Amen, amen, I say to you: If any
man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever." The
Jews therefore said: "Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead,
and the prophets: and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste
death for ever. Art thou greater than our father Abraham who is dead? And the
prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?" Jesus
answered: "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that
glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God. And you have not known him:
but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you,
a liar. But I do know him and do keep his word. Abraham your father rejoiced
that he might see my day: he saw it and was glad." The Jews therefore said
to him: "Thou art not yet fifty years old. And hast thou seen
Abraham?" Jesus said to them:"Amen, amen, I say to you, before
Abraham was made, I AM." They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But
Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
OFFERTORY ANTIPHON

COMMUNION ANTIPHON
(I Cor. 11:24, 25)

is My Body which shall be given up for you; this cup is the New Covenant in My
Blood," said the Lord. "Do this as often as you receive it, in
remembrance of Me."

close to us, O Lord our God, and with Your unfailing help defend those who have
been renewed through Your Sacrament. Through Our Lord . . .
