  • Saint Barnabas, the Apostle 2023:

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 11:21b-26; 13:1-3

    In those days a great number who believed turned to the Lord.
    The news about them reached the ears of the Church in Jerusalem,
    and they sent Barnabas to go to Antioch.
    When he arrived and saw the grace of God,
    he rejoiced and encouraged them all
    to remain faithful to the Lord in firmness of heart,
    for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith.
    And a large number of people was added to the Lord.
    Then he went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
    and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch.
    For a whole year they met with the Church
    and taught a large number of people,
    and it was in Antioch that the disciples
    were first called Christians.

    Now there were in the Church at Antioch prophets and teachers:
    Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger,
    Lucius of Cyrene,
    Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
    While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,
    "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul
    for the work to which I have called them."
    Then, completing their fasting and prayer,
    they laid hands on them and sent them off.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Ps 98:1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4, 5-6

    R. (see 2b)  The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
    Sing to the LORD a new song,
    for he has done wondrous deeds;
    His right hand has won victory for him,
    his holy arm.
    R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
    The LORD has made his salvation known:
    in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.
    He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness
    toward the house of Israel.
    R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
    All the ends of the earth have seen
    the salvation by our God.
    Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
    break into song; sing praise.
    R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
    Sing praise to the LORD with the harp,
    with the harp and melodious song.
    With trumpets and the sound of the horn
    sing joyfully before the King, the LORD.
    R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Mt 5:1-12

    When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,
    and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
    He began to teach them, saying:

    "Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
    Blessed are they who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
    Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the land.
    Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be satisfied.
    Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
    Blessed are the clean of heart,
    for they will see God.
    Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
    Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
    for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
    Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
    and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.
    Rejoice and be glad,
    for your reward will be great in heaven.
    Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

  • CORPUS CHRISTI 2023:

    Ordinary Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    dt 8:2-3, 14b-16a

    Moses said to the people:
    "Remember how for forty years now the LORD, your God,
    has directed all your journeying in the desert,
    so as to test you by affliction
    and find out whether or not it was your intention
    to keep his commandments.
    He therefore let you be afflicted with hunger,
    and then fed you with manna,
    a food unknown to you and your fathers,
    in order to show you that not by bread alone does one live,
    but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the LORD.
    "Do not forget the LORD, your God,
    who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
    that place of slavery;
    who guided you through the vast and terrible desert
    with its saraph serpents and scorpions,
    its parched and waterless ground;
    who brought forth water for you from the flinty rock
    and fed you in the desert with manna,
    a food unknown to your fathers."

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    ps 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20

    he has blessed your children within you.
    R/
    Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
    or:
    R/
    Alleluia.
    He has granted peace in your borders;

    He sends forth his command to the earth;
    swiftly runs his word!
    R/
    Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
    or:
    R/
    Alleluia.
    He has proclaimed his word to Jacob,
    his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
    He has not done thus for any other nation;
    his ordinances he has not made known to them. Alleluia.
    R/
    Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
    or:
    R/
    Alleluia.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    1 cor 10:16-17

    Brothers and sisters:
    The cup of blessing that we bless,
    is it not a participation in the blood of Christ?
    The bread that we break,
    is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
    Because the loaf of bread is one,
    we, though many, are one body,
    for we all partake of the one loaf.

    SEQUENCE OF THE MASS

    Laud, O Zion, your salvation,
    Laud with hymns of exultation,
    Christ, your king and shepherd true:
    Bring him all the praise you know,
    He is more than you bestow.
    Never can you reach his due.
    Special theme for glad thanksgiving
    Is the quick’ning and the living
    Bread today before you set:
    From his hands of old partaken,
    As we know, by faith unshaken,
    Where the Twelve at supper met.
    Full and clear ring out your chanting,
    Joy nor sweetest grace be wanting,
    From your heart let praises burst:
    For today the feast is holden,
    When the institution olden
    Of that supper was rehearsed.
    Here the new law’s new oblation,
    By the new king’s revelation,
    Ends the form of ancient rite:
    Now the new the old effaces,
    Truth away the shadow chases,
    Light dispels the gloom of night.
    What he did at supper seated,
    Christ ordained to be repeated,
    His memorial ne’er to cease:
    And his rule for guidance taking,
    Bread and wine we hallow, making
    Thus our sacrifice of peace.
    This the truth each Christian learns,
    Bread into his flesh he turns,
    To his precious blood the wine:
    Sight has fail’d, nor thought conceives,
    But a dauntless faith believes,
    Resting on a pow’r divine.
    Here beneath these signs are hidden
    Priceless things to sense forbidden;
    Signs, not things are all we see:
    Blood is poured and flesh is broken,
    Yet in either wondrous token
    Christ entire we know to be.
    Whoso of this food partakes,
    Does not rend the Lord nor breaks;
    Christ is whole to all that taste:
    Thousands are, as one, receivers,
    One, as thousands of believers,
    Eats of him who cannot waste.
    Bad and good the feast are sharing,
    Of what divers dooms preparing,
    Endless death, or endless life.
    Life to these, to those damnation,
    See how like participation
    Is with unlike issues rife.
    When the sacrament is broken,
    Doubt not, but believe ‘tis spoken,
    That each sever’d outward token
    doth the very whole contain.
    Nought the precious gift divides,
    Breaking but the sign betides
    Jesus still the same abides,
    still unbroken does remain.
    The shorter form of the sequence begins here.
    Lo! the angel’s food is given
    To the pilgrim who has striven;
    see the children’s bread from heaven,
    which on dogs may not be spent.
    Truth the ancient types fulfilling,
    Isaac bound, a victim willing,
    Paschal lamb, its lifeblood spilling,
    manna to the fathers sent.
    Very bread, good shepherd, tend us,
    Jesu, of your love befriend us,
    You refresh us, you defend us,
    Your eternal goodness send us
    In the land of life to see.
    You who all things can and know,
    Who on earth such food bestow,
    Grant us with your saints, though lowest,
    Where the heav’nly feast you show,
    Fellow heirs and guests to be. Amen. Alleluia.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    jn 6:51-58

    Jesus said to the Jewish crowds:
    "I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
    whoever eats this bread will live forever;
    and the bread that I will give
    is my flesh for the life of the world."
    The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying,
    "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
    Jesus said to them,
    "Amen, amen, I say to you,
    unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood,
    you do not have life within you.
    Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
    has eternal life,
    and I will raise him on the last day.
    For my flesh is true food,
    and my blood is true drink.
    Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
    remains in me and I in him.
    Just as the living Father sent me
    and I have life because of the Father,
    so also the one who feeds on me
    will have life because of me.
    This is the bread that came down from heaven.
    Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died,
    whoever eats this bread will live forever."
