St. PatrickPatron Saint of the

Archdiocese of New York

A Reading from the Book of Genesis

The LORD said to Abram: “Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from yourfather’s house to a land that I will show you. “I will make of you a great nation, andI will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I willbless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the communities ofthe earth shall find blessing in you.” Abram went as the LORD directed him. Lector: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.

March 12, 2017The Second Sunday in Lent

(The people’s responses in bold represent wording that Pope Benedict had changed in the Mass throughout the world.)

There are no flowers on the altar or music during Lent.

Greeting

Priest: The Lord be with you.People: And with your spirit.

The Confiteor

I confess to almighty Godand to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinnedin my thoughts and in my words,in what I have doneand in what I have failed to do, (And then striking your breast three times)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. Priest: Lord have mercy. People: Lord have mercy.Priest: Christ have mercy. People: Christ have mercy.Priest: Lord have mercy. People: Lord have mercy.*

*(Or any other option the priest chooses. “The Lordhave mercy” can be sung as “Kyrie elÁison” or thePenitential hymn “Asperges” may be sung.)

The Responsorial: Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you. (PS 33: 4-5, 18-19, 20, 22)

Our Lord speaks to Abraham

A Reading from the second Letter of St. Paul to Timothy

Beloved: Bear your share of hardship for the gospel with the strength that comes fromGod. He saved us and called us to a holy life, not according to our works but according tohis own design and the grace bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before time began, but nowmade manifest through the appearance of our savior Christ Jesus, who destroyed death andbrought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

Lector: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint MatthewPeople: Glory to you, O Lord.

At that time, Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a

high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them; his face

shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light. And behold, Moses

and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him. Then Peter said to Jesus in

reply, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents

here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still

speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud

came a voice that said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased;

listen to him.” When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate and were very

much afraid. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and do not be

afraid.” And when the disciples raised their eyes, they saw no one else but

Jesus alone.As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them,

“Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the

dead.”

Priest: The Gospel of the Lord. People: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ.

Lector: Praise and honor to you, Lord Jesus ChristPeople Only: Praise and honor to you, Lord Jesus ChristLector Only: From the shining cloud the Father’s voice is heard: This is my beloved Son, hear him.People Only: Praise and honor to you, Lord Jesus Christ

Priest: The Lord be with you. People: And with your spirit.

Lenten Reminders

Lenten Fast and Abstinence - During the season ofLent, the Church urges the faithful to reflect a spirit ofpenance in their daily lives through performing acts offaith and abstinence.Fasting requires that only one full meal be taken per day. Two othersmaller meals may be taken during the day to maintain physicalstrength, but these two meals together should not equal a full meal in

quantity. Nor is there eating between meals. Fasting obliges all those who have reached the age of 18and continues to oblige through age 59. Those who are not specifically obliged to fast are encouraged tojoin in the discipline of fasting to the extent that they are able.

Abstinence prohibits individuals from eating meat on a particular day. Abstinence obliges all thosewho have reached the age of 14 and continues to oblige throughout their lives. Those who are notspecifically obliged to abstain from eating meat are encouraged to join in the discipline of abstaining tothe extent that they are able. Ash Wednesday (March 1st) and Good Friday (April 14th) are days of Fast and Abstinence.

Fridays in Lent are days of Abstinence.
