Greeting

Penitential Act

I confess to almighty God and to you my brothers and sisters that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary, ever Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you my brothers and sisters to pray for me to the Lord our God.

May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.

℟. Amen.

The Liturgy of the Word

First Reading: Gal 6:14-18

Hermanos: No permita Dios que yo me gloríe en algo que no sea la cruz de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, por el cual el mundo está crucificado para mí y yo para el mundo. Porque en Cristo Jesús de nada vale el estar circuncidado o no, sino el ser una nueva creatura. Para todos los que vivan conforme a esta norma y también para el verdadero Israel, la paz y la misericordia de Dios. De ahora en adelante, que nadie me ponga más obstáculos, porque llevo en mi cuerpo la marca de los sufrimientos que he pasado por Cristo. Hermanos, que la gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo esté con ustedes. Amén.

Brothers and sisters: May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision, but only a new creation. Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God. From now on, let no one make troubles for me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.

Palabra de Dios.

℟. Te alabamos Señor.

Responsorial Psalm: Tu es, Domine – Ps 16:1-2a and 5, 7-8, 11

1. Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord.” O LORD, it is you who are my portion and cup; you yourself who secure my lot.

2. Bendeciré al Señor, que me a conseja, hasta de noche me instruye internamiente. Tengo siempre presente al Señor, con él a mi derecha no vacilaré.

3. You will show me the path of life, the fullness of joy in your presence, at your right hand, bliss for ever.

1. Protégeme, Dios mío, que me refugio en ti; yo digo al Señor: “Tú eres mi bien.” El Señor es el lote de mi heredad y mi copa; mi suerte está en tu mano.

2. I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel, who even at night directs my heart. I keep the LORD before me always, with him at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

3. Me eseñarás el sendero de la vida, me saciarás de gozo en tu presencia, de alegría perpetua a tu derecha.

Gospel: Mt 11:25-30

(Español en la página 7)At that time Jesus answered: "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.

"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light." The Gospel of the Lord.

℟. Praise to you, Lord

Jesus Christ.

7

En aquel tiempo, Jesús exclamó: “¡Te doy gracias, Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, porque has escondido estas cosas a los sabios y entendidos, y las has revelado a la gente sencilla! Gracias, Padre, porque así te ha parecido bien. El Padre ha puesto todas las cosas en mis manos. Nadie conoce al Hijo sino el Padre; nadie conoce al

Padre sino el Hijo y aquel a quien el Hijo se lo quiera revelar. Vengan a mí, todos los que están fatigados y agobiados por la carga y yo les daré alivio. Tomen mi yugo sobre ustedes y aprendan de mí, que soy manso y humilde de corazón, y encontrarán descanso, porque mi yugo es suave y mi carga, ligera’’.

Choral Motet

Prayer of St. Francis Allen Pote (b. 1945)

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, thy pardon, Lord. Where there is doubt, let there be faith.

Oh, Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there’s despair let me

bring hope. Where there is darkness, let there be light, Where there is sadness, let

there be joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console.

To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.

Oh, Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow

love.

For it is in giving that we receive, and it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Amen.
