Penitential Rite
My brothers and sisters, to
prepare ourselves to celebrate
the sacred mysteries, let us call
to mind our sins.
I confess to almighty God, and
to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have sinned through my
own fault,
in my thoughts and in my
words, in what I have done, and
in what I have failed to do;
and 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.
Opening Prayer

Father, help us to seek the
values that will bring us lasting
joy in this changing world. In
our desire for what you promise
make us one in mind and heart.

Liturgy of the Word
First Reading
(Isaiah 66:18-21)
Thus says the Lord: “For I know
their works and their thoughts,
and I am coming to gather all
nations and tongues; and they
shall come and shall see my
glory, and I will set a sign
among them. From them I will
send survivors to the nations, to
Tarshish, Put, and Lud—which
draw the bow—to Tubal and
Javan, to the coastlands far
away that have not heard of my
fame or seen my glory; and they
shall declare my glory among
the nations. They shall bring all
your kindred from all the
nations as an offering to the
Lord, on horses, and in chariots,
and in litters, and on mules, and
on dromedaries, to my holy
mountain Jerusalem, says the
Lord, just as the Israelites bring
a grain-offering in a clean
vessel to the house of the Lord.
And I will also take some of
them as priests and as Levites,
says the Lord .
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
R. Go out to all the world and tell
the good news .
Praise the Lord all you nations!
Extol him all you peoples!.
R. Go out to all the world and tell
the good news .
For great is his steadfast love
toward us, and the faithfulness
forever.
Second Reading
(Hebrews 12:5-7, 11-13)
And you have forgotten the
exhortation that addresses you
as children— ‘My child, do not
regard lightly the discipline of
the Lord, or lose heart when you
are punished by him; for the
Lord disciplines those whom he
loves, and chastises every child
whom he accepts.’ Endure
trials for the sake of discipline.
God is treating you as children;
for what child is there whom a
parent does not discipline? Now,
discipline always seems painful
rather than pleasant at the time,
but later it yields the peaceful f
ruit of righteousness to those
who have been trained by it.
Therefore lift your drooping
hands and strengthen your
weak knees, and make straight
paths for your feet, so that what
is lame may not be put out of
joint, but rather be healed.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
GOSPEL
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
A reading from the holy Gospel
according to Luke.
Glory to you Lord.
Jesus went through one town
and village after another,
teaching as he made his way to
Jerusalem. Someone asked him,
‘Lord, will only a few be saved?’
He said to them, ‘Strive to enter
through the narrow door; for
many, I tell you, will try to enter
and will not be able. When once
the owner of the house has got
up and shut the door, and you
begin to stand outside and to
knock at the door, saying, “Lord,
open to us”, then in reply he will
say to you, “I do not know where
you come from.” Then you will
begin to say, “We ate and drank
with you, and you taught in our
streets.” But he will say, “I do not
know where you come from; go
away from me, all you evildoers!”
There will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth when you see
Abraham and Isaac and Jacob
and all the prophets in the
kingdom of God, and you
yourselves thrown out. Then
people will come from east and
west, from north and south, and
will eat in the kingdom of God.
Indeed, some are last who will be
first, and some are first who will
be last.’
The gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Homily
Profession of Faith
We believe in One God, the
Father, the almighty, maker of
heaven and earth of all that is
seen and unseen.
We 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, one in
being with the Father,
Through him all things were
made. For us men 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, died 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.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father
and the Son. With the Father
and the Son he is worshiped
and glorified. He has spoken
through the Prophets
We believe in one holy catholic
and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism
for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of
the dead and the life of the
world to come.
Amen.
Prayer of the Faithful
R. Lord, hear our prayer.
For Church leaders who guide
us on the road to salvation, we
pray to the Lord:
R. Lord, hear our prayer.
For world leaders who respect
the law of love written in each
heart, we pray to the Lord:
R. Lord, hear our prayer.
For people who encounter a
‘narrow door’ when seeking
justice, fair employment or
suitable healthcare, we pray to
the Lord:
R. Lord, hear our prayer.
For all of us gathered here
today, called to face with an
open heart every challenge of
love presented to us, we pray
to the Lord:
R. Lord, hear our prayer.
Offertory Song
Liturgy of the Eucharist
Pray, my brothers and sisters,
that our sacrifice may be
acceptable to God, the almighty
Father.
May the Lord accept the
sacrifice at your hands for the
praise and glory of his name,
for our good, and the good of all
his Church.
Prayer over the gifts
Merciful God, the perfect
sacrifice of Jesus Christ made
us your people. In your love,
grant peace and unity to your
Church.
Amen.

And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them up to the Lord.

our God.
It is right to give him thanks
and praise.
PREFACE
Father, all-powerful and everliving God, we do well always
and everywhere to give you
thanks through Jesus Christ our
Lord.
Through his cross and
resurrection he freed us from sin
and death and called us to the
glory that has made us a chosen
race, a royal priesthood, a holy
nation, a people set apart.
Everywhere we proclaim your
mighty works, for you have
called us out of darkness into
your own wonderful light.
And so, with all the choirs of
angles in heaven,we proclaim
your glory and join in their
unending hymn of praise:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of
power and might, heaven and
earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the Lord. Hosanna in
the highest.
Eucharistic Prayer II
Invocation of the Holy Spirit
Lord, you are holy indeed, the
fountain of all holiness. Let
your Spirit come upon these
gifts to make them holy, so that
they may become for us the
body and blood of our Lord,
Jesus Christ.
The Lord’ Supper
Before he was given up to
death, a death he freely
accepted, he took bread and
gave you thanks. He broke the
bread, gave it to his disciples,
and said:
“Take this, all of you, and eat it:
this is my body which will be
given up for you.”
When supper was ended, he
took the cup. Again he gave you
thanks and praise, gave the cup
to his disciples, and said:
“Take this, all of you, and drink
from it, this is the cup of my
blood, the blood of the new and
everlasting covenant. It will be
shed for you and for all so that
sins may be forgiven. Do this in
memory of me.”
Let us proclaim the mystery of
faith:
When we eat this bread,
When we drink this cup,
We proclaim your glory
Until you come again.
In memory of his death and
resurrection, we offer you,
Father, this life-giving bread,
this saving cup. We thank you
for counting us worthy to stand
in your presence and serve you.
May all of us who share in the
body and blood of Christ be
brought together in unity by the
Holy Spirit.
For the Church
Lord, remember your Church
throughout the world; make us
grow in love, together with
our pope - John Paul II. Our
bishop - Joseph Zen, John Tong,
and all the clergy.
For the dead
Remember our brothers and
sisters who have gone to their
rest in the hope of rising again;
bring them and all the departed
into the light of your presence.
In communion with the saints
Have mercy on us all; make us
worthy to share eternal life with
Mary, the virgin Mother of God
with the apostles, and with all
the saints who have done your
will throughout the ages. May
we praise you in union with
them, and give you glory
through your Son, Jesus Christ.
In praise of God
Through him, with him, in him,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit
all glory and honor is yours
almighty Father
for ever and ever.
Amen
