to put into practice what they preach.
As we prepare to celebrate this liturgy,
let us recall those times when our actions
have not matched our words.

Lord God, Heavenly King,
O God Almighty Father,
Lord Jesus Christ, only begotten Son
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,

grant we pray that we may hasten without stumbling
to receive the things you have promised
through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit
one God forever and ever.
- [Congregation] Amen.
- A reading from the book of the prophet Malachi.
"A great King am I", says the Lord of hosts,
"and my name will be feared among the nations.
"Now O priests this commandment is for you.
"If you do not listen,
"if you do not lay it to heart
"to give glory to my name", says the Lord of hosts,
"I will send a curse upon you
"and of your blessing I will make a curse.
"You have turned aside from the way
"and have caused many to falter by your instruction.
"You have made void the covenant of Levi",
says the Lord of hosts,
"I therefore have made you contemptible
"and base before all of the people
"since you do not keep my ways
"but show partiality in your decisions."
Have we not all the one father?
Has not the one God created us?
Why then do we break faith with one another
violating the covenant of our fathers?
The word of the Lord.
- [Congregation] Thanks be to God.

- A reading from the first letter of
Saint Paul to the Thessalonians.
Brothers and sisters:
We were gentle among you
as a nursing mother cares for her children.
With such affection for you,
we were determined to share with you
not only the gospel of God but our very selves as well.
So dearly beloved had you become to us.
You recall, brothers and sisters
our toil and drudgery.
Working night and day in order not to burden any of you,
we proclaimed to you the gospel of God,
and for this reason we give thanks to God unceasingly.
That in receiving the word of God from hearing us
you received not a human word,
but as it truly is the word of God
which is now at work in you who believe.
The word of the Lord.
- [Congregation] Thanks be to God.

- A reading from the holy gospel according to Matthew.
- [Congregation] Glory to you O Lord.
- Jesus spoke to the crowds
and to his disciples saying,
"The scribes and the pharisees
"have taken their seat on the chair of Moses.
"Therefore, do and observe all the things
"whatsoever they tell you,
"but do not follow their example.
"For they preach but they do not practice.
"They tie up heavy burdens hard to carry
"and lay them on people's shoulders.
"But they will not lift a finger to move them.
"All their works are performed to be seen.
"They widen their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
"They love places of honor at banquets,
"seats of honor in synagogues,
"greetings in marketplaces,
"and the salutation of rabbi.
"As for you do not be called rabbi.
"You have but one teacher and you are all brothers.
"Call no one on Earth your father.
"You have but one Father in Heaven.
"Do not be called master.
"You have but one Master, the Christ.
"The greatest among you must be your servant.
"Whoever exalts himself will be humbled,
"and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
The gospel of the Lord.
- [Congregation] Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
- God himself is the source of all grace,
all light, and all hope.
If we look anywhere else for stability in our lives,
sooner or later we will deeply be disappointed.
This is the point that Malachi makes
in today's first reading.
He is trying to get selfish corrupt priests
to get back to the basics.
He wants them to stop fighting amongst themselves
and creating their own little clicks
of self absorbed followers.
He also reminds us have we all not the one Father?
Has not the one God created us?
Jesus is trying to tell us the same thing in today's gospel.
He is explaining to his followers
that the scribes and the pharisees
they have lost touch the source
and purpose of their service to the people of God.
They have become conceded and self-centered
thinking that their wisdom comes from themselves
rather than from God.
God is the source of all wisdom.
God is the source of all goodness and grace.
He is the Father of us all.
The rabbis and the priests are simply his messengers
not his managers.
Even Saint Paul in today's second reading
he expresses his joy because the Thessalonians
recognized the message he brought them
as being from God and not from him.
It's easy for us to forget this most important truth.
It's easy for us to start expecting fulfillment,
happiness and meaning to come from our achievements,
our relationships, our reputations
or any number of other transient things.
But true lasting meaning and happiness
can only come from God.
As we accept and absorb that truth
we will begin to experience
a spiritual stability in our lives,
an interior peace that nothing can disturb
just like that peace described in today's Psalm.
"In you Lord", the psalmist writes as he is
describing his soul being like a child in his mother's arms,
"In you Lord I have found my peace."
- [Congregation] I believe in one God, the Father almighty
maker of Heaven and Earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages
God from God, light from light
true God from true God,
begotten not made,
consubstantial with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from Heaven
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate.
He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with 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, the giver of life
who proceeds from the Father and the Son
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one holy Catholic and Apostolic church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins,
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come, amen.
- Let us pray to God
who sent us the divine Son as teacher and master.
- That all members of the church live in word and deed
what they have learned from Jesus the teacher and master
we pray to the Lord.
- [Congregation] Lord, hear our prayer.
- That all religious and civic leaders fulfill their call
to be servants for the good of all we pray to the Lord.
- [Congregation] Lord, hear our prayer.
- That those in any need be helped by those
who are faithful to being humble servants of others
we pray to the Lord.
- [Congregation] Lord, hear our prayer.
- That each of us here always remain faithful to Jesus
as the center of our lives we pray to the Lord.
- [Congregation] Lord, hear our prayer.
- God our Father, you sent your Son to teach us how to live.
Hear these our prayers that we may faithfully take up
his humble service and one day share in his exaltation.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
- [Congregation] Amen.
(soft music)
- Pray my, sisters and brothers
that my sacrifice and yours
may be acceptable to God the Almighty Father.
- [Congregation] May the Lord help the sacrifice
at your hands for the praise and glory of his name
for our good and the good of all his holy church.
- May these sacrificial offerings, O Lord
become for you a pure oblation
and for us a holy outpouring of your mercy
through Christ our Lord.
- [Congregation] Amen.
- The Lord be with you.
- [Congregation] And with your spirit.
- Lift up your hearts.
- [Congregation] We lift them up to the Lord.
- Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
- [Congregation] It is right and just.
- It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation
always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, Holy Father,
Almighty and Eternal God through Christ our Lord.
For out of compassion for the waywardness that is ours
he humbled himself and was born of the Virgin.
By the passion of the cross,
he freed us from unending death,
and by rising from the dead he gave us life eternal,
and so with angels and archangels,
with thrones and dominions,
and with all the hosts and powers of Heaven
we sing the hymn of your glory as without end we acclaim.

- You are indeed Holy O Lord
the fount all of holiness.
Make holy therefore these gifts we pray
by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dew fall
so that they may become for us the body
and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
At the time he was betrayed
and entered willingly into his passion
he took bread and giving thanks broke it
and gave it to his disciples saying,
"Take this all of you and eat of it
"for this is my body which will be given up for you."
In a similar way when supper was ended,
he took the chalice and once more giving thanks
he gave it to his disciples saying,
"Take this all of you and drink from it
"for this is the chalice of my blood,
"the blood of the new and eternal covenant
"which will be poured out for you
"and for many for the forgiveness of sins.
"Do this in memory of me."
The mystery of faith:
♪ We proclaim your death O Lord
♪ And profess your resurrection
♪ Until you come again
♪ Until you come again
- Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial
of his death and resurrection,
we offer you, Lord, the bread of life
and the chalice of salvation
giving thanks that you have held us worthy
to be in your presence and minister to you.
Humbly we pray
that partaking of the body and blood of Christ
we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
Remember, Lord, your church spread throughout the world
and bring her to the fullness of charity
together with Francis our Pope
and Joseph our bishop and all the clergy.
Remember also our brothers and sisters
who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection
and all who have died in your mercy
welcome them into the light of your face.
Have mercy on us all we pray
that with the blessed Virgin Mary mother of God,
with blessed Joseph her spouse,
with the blessed apostles and all the saints
who have pleased you throughout the ages
we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life
and may praise and glorify you
through your Son Jesus Christ.
Through him and with him and in him
O God almighty Father
in the unity of the Holy Spirit
All glory and honor is yours forever and ever.
