 #252 ENTRANCE: In Christ There is No East or West  1. In Christ there is no east or west, In him no south or north, But one great fam’ly bounded by love, Throughout the whole wide earth  2. In him shall true hearts ev’rywhere, Their high communion find; His service is the golden cord, Closebinding humankind.  3. Join hands, disciples in the faith, Whate’er your race may be! Who serve each other in Christ’s love, Are surely kin to me.

FIRST READING: FROM THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET JONAH   Jon 3:15, 10  The word of the LORD came to Jonah, saying: “Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and announce to it the message that I will tell you.” So Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh, according to the LORD’S bidding.   Now Nineveh was an enormously large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah began his journey through the city, and had gone but a single day’s walk announcing, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed, “when the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth.  When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out.

The word of the Lord.  THANKS BE TO GOD.  RESPONSORIAL PSALM:    TEACH ME YOUR WAYS, O LORD; TEACH ME YOUR WAYS.

2nd READING: FROM THE 1ST LETTER OF ST. PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS  1 Cor 7:2931 

 I tell you, brothers and sisters, the time is running out. From now on, let those having wives act as not having them, those weeping as not weeping, those rejoicing as not rejoicing, those buying as not owning, those using the world as not using it fully. For the world in its present form is passing away. 

The word of the Lord.  THANKS BE TO GOD.

A READING FROM THE HOLY ACCORDING TO MARK    MK 1:1420  After John had been arrested, came to proclaiming the gospel of God: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”  As he passed by the , he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen.  Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Then they abandoned their nets and followed him. He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of , and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.

The Gospel of the Lord.  PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST. 2 

  #254 OFFERTORY: I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light  1.  I want to walk as a child of the light. I want to follow Jesus. God set the stars to give light to the world. The star of my life is Jesus. [Refrain]  Refrain In him there is no darkness at all. The night and the day are both alike. The Lamb is the light of the city of God. Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.  2. I want to see the brightness of God. I want to look at Jesus. Clear sun of righteousness, shine on my path  And show me the way to the Father. [Refrain]  3. I’m looking for the coming of Christ. I want to be with Jesus. When we have run with patience the race, We shall know the joy of Jesus. [Refrain]

  COMMUNION: Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All  1. Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all! How can I love thee as I ought? And how revere this wondrous gift, So far surpassing hope or thought?  Refrain: Sweet Sacrament, we thee adore! Oh, make us love thee more and more. Oh, make us love thee more and more.  2. Had I but Mary’s sinless heart With which to love thee, dearest King, Oh with whatever fervent praise, Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing! [Refrain]  3. Thy Body, Soul and Godhead, all! O mystery of love divine! I cannot compass all I have, For all thou hast and art is mine! [Refrain]

 #281 MEDITATION: The Summons   1.  Will you come and follow me If I but call your name? Will you go where you don’t know And never be the same? Will you let my love be shown, Will you let my name be known, Will you let my life be grown In you and you in me?  2. Will you leave yourself behind If I but call your name? Will you care for cruel and kind And never be the same? Will you risk the hostile stare, Should your life attract or scare? Will you let me answer prayer In you and you in me? 

 #335 RECESSIONAL: God’s Blessing Sends Us Forth     1.  God’s blessing sends us forth, Strengthened for our task on earth Refreshed in soul and renewed in mind. May God with us remain, Through us his Spirit reign, That Christ be known to all mankind.  2. God’s news in spoken word Joyfully our hearts have heard; O may the seed of God’s love now grow. May we in fruitful deeds Gladly serve others’ needs, That faith in action we may show.

Holy Michael the Archangel, Defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the divine power thrust into hell Satan, and all the other evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.  3

Year of St. Joseph  Pope Francis has dedicated this year to St. Joseph and so he has proclaimed it as the “Year of St. Joseph” with his Apostolic Letter Patris Corde (translated as “with the heart of the father”). You may ask why or what is the special reason for the Pope to declare so. The reason is that this year is the 150th anniversary of the Proclamation of St. Joseph as the Patron of the Universal Church by Pope Pius IX. In order that we may reflect on the important virtues of St. Joseph, the great provider and protector of the Holy Family, Pope Francis has proclaimed “the Year of St. Joseph”.   St. Joseph loved Jesus with a father’s heart, and so the refer as the Son of Joseph. In the Gospels according to St. Matthew and Luke, we can read briefly what kind of father, St. Joseph was and what was his Mission entrusted to him by God. He was a poor carpenter (cf. Mathew 13:55), betrothed to Mary (cf. :18; :27). He was also a just man (cf. Matthew 1:19) ever ready to carry out the Will of God (Luke cf. 2:22, 27, 39).  He was very faithful and obedient to fulfill, what God revealed to him through dreams (cf. Matthew 1:20; 2:13, 19, 22). Joseph was given the privilege to become the legal father of Jesus, to whom he gave the name revealed by the angel: “You shall call his name Jesus” (Matthew 1:21). In the ancient Biblical society, the one who named a person or a thing gained legal authority over that person or that thing. We can read this from the Book of Genesis, how Adam named the woman and all the created things (cr.2:1920) and thus gained his authority over the created beings.   Pope St. John Paul II, in his Apostolic Exhortation Redemptoris Custos (translated as “Guardian of the Redeemer) on the Person and Mission of St. Joseph, makes it known to us that our families have a lot to learn from Joseph and Mary. The Pope says that St. Joseph was called to serve the person and mission of Jesus directly through the exercise of his fatherhood. He reiterates that Jesus grew most of his life on earth (30 years of his life) by experiencing the love, which was communicated and shared in the holy family. Hence, the Pope states that every family has the mission to guard, reveal and communicate this love with one another.   To be continued.          God bless you,        Fr. Arul Joseph V.
