FIRST READING

Jeremiah 20:10-13

 

Jeremiah said: “I hear the
whisperings of many:
‘Terror on every side! Denounce!
let us denounce him!’ All those who
were my friends are on the watch
for any misstep of mine. ‘Perhaps
he will be trapped; then we
can prevail, and take
our vengeance on him.’

​

11 But the LORD is with me,
like a mighty champion: my persecutors
will stumble, they will not triumph.
In their failure they will be put
to utter shame, to lasting,
unforgettable confusion.

​

12 O LORD of hosts, you who
test the just, who probe mind and heart,
let me witness the vengeance you
take on them, for to you
I have entrusted my cause.

​

13 Sing to the LORD,
praise the LORD, for he
has rescued the life of the poor
from the power of the wicked!”

​

​

RESPONSORIAL PSALM:

​

REFRAIN

Lord, in Your great love,
answer me.

​

​

​

SECOND READING

Romans 5:12-15

 

Brothers and sisters:
Through one man sin entered
the world, and through sin, death,
and thus death came to all men,
inasmuch as all sinned

​

13 for up to the time of the law,
sin was in the world, though
sin is not accounted when there is no law.

​

14 But death reigned from
Adam to Moses, even over those who
did not sin after the pattern of the
trespass of Adam, who is
the type of the one who was to come.

​

15 But the gift is not
like the transgression. For if by
the transgression of the one the
many died, how much more did
the grace of God and the gracious gift
of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many.

​

​

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

​

REFRAIN

Alleluia 

​

VERSE

The Spirit of truth will testify to me, says the Lord;

and you also will testify.

​

REFRAIN

​

​

​

GOSPEL:

Matthew 10:26-33

​

Jesus said to the Twelve:
“Fear no one. Nothing is
concealed that will not
be revealed, nor secret
that will not be known.

​

27 What I say to you in the
darkness, speak in the light;
what you hear whispered,
proclaim on the housetops.

​

28 And do not be afraid
of those who kill the body
but cannot kill the soul; rather,
be afraid of the one who can
destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

​

29 Are not two sparrows sold
for a small coin? Yet not one
of them falls to the ground
without your Father’s knowledge.

​

30 Even all the hairs
of your head are counted.

​

31 So do not be afraid;
you are worth more than many sparrows.

​

32 Everyone who acknowledges
me before others I will acknowledge
before my heavenly Father.

​

​

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,

I believe in one

the Only Begotten

Son of God,
born of the Father

before all ages.
God from God,

Light from Light,

consubstantial with the Father;
through Him

all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation

and became man.

​

For our sake he was. crucified

under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death

and was buried, 
and rose again

He ascended into heaven 
and is seated at the

right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory

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.

​

was crucified, died and was buried;

he descended into hell;

on the third day he rose again

from the dead;

he ascended into heaven,

Precious Lord,
Take my Hand

I am tired, I'm weak, I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand, precious Lord
Lead me home.

Precious Lord, linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my ha-and lest I fall
Take my hand, precious Lord
Lead me on

For my yoke is easy 

and my burden is light.

​

We shall rise again
on the last day
with the faithful, rich and poor.

Coming to the house of Lord Jesus,

we will find an open door there,

we will find an open door.
