THE CONFITEOR I confess to almighty God, in the presence of the Blessed Virgin Mary, all the saints, and you my brothers and sisters, that I have sinned through my own fault (strike breast), in my thoughts, in my words, in what I have done or failed to do. I ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, all the saints and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord, our God.

THE GLORIA Glory to God in the Highest, and peace to His people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship You, we give You thanks, we praise You for Your glory.

For You alone are the Holy One, You alone are the Lord, You alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of  God the Father. Amen.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

First Reading Wisdom 5:1-5

A reading from the Book of Wisdom

Then shall the righteous one with great assurance confront his oppressors who set at nought his labors. Seeing this, the wicked shall be shaken with dreadful fear, and be amazed at the unexpected salvation. They shall say among themselves, rueful and groaning through anguish of spirit: “This is the one whom once we held as a laughingstock and as a type for mockery, fools that we were! His life we accounted madness, and death dishonored. See how he is accounted among the heavenly beings; how his lot is with the holy ones!

This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Page 1 Responsorial Psalm

R. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice before him; with trembling pay homage to him.

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and his anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds asunder, and cast their cords from us.” R. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice before him; with trembling pay homage to him.

Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, “I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill.” R. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice before him; with trembling pay homage to him.

Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” R. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice before him; with trembling pay homage to him.

Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, with trembling. R. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice before him; with trembling pay homage to him.

Second Reading 1 Timothy 4:1-5

A reading from the First Letter of St. Paul to Timothy

Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the last times some will turn away from the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and demonic instructions through the hypocrisy of liars with branded consciences. They forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected when received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the invocation of God in prayer.

This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Gospel John 15:1-7

The Lord be with you. And also with you.

A Reading from the holy according to St. John.  Glory be to You, O Lord.

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.”

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise be to You, Lord Jesus Christ.

NICENE

I believe in One God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of one being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us and for our salvation He came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary, AND BECAME MAN.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life who proceeds from the Father. With the Father and the Son, He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church. I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
