Second Reading — Hebrews 2:9-11

AlleluiaThe Assembly sings:

“If we love one another, God remains in us and his love is brought to perfection in us.”

The LORD God said: “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a suitable partner for him.” So the LORD God formed out of the ground various wild animals and various birds of the air, and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them; whatever the man called each of them would be its name. The man gave names to all the cattle, all the birds of the air, and all wild animals; but none proved to be the suitable partner for the man. So the LORD God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while

he was asleep, he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. The LORD God then built up into a woman the rib that he had taken from the man. When he brought her to the man, the man said: “This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of ‘her man’ this one has been taken.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one flesh.The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Brothers and sisters: He “for a little while” was made “lower than the angels,” that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. For it was fitting that he, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make

the leader to their salvation perfect through suffering. He who consecrates and those who are being consecrated all have one origin. Therefore, he is not ashamed to call them “brothers.”The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

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,

At the words that follow, up to and including “and became man”, all bow.

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.

The Pharisees approached Jesus and asked, “Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?” They were testing him. He said to them in reply, “What did Moses command you?” They replied, “Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her.” But Jesus told them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this command-ment. But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his fa-ther and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate.” In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this. He said to them, “Whoever divorces his

wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she com-mits adultery.” And people were bringing children to him that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.” Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

(10:45 a.m. Choir Anthem) — The Gift of Love Hal Hopson

Priest: Pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father. R/ 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 holy Church.

Prayer over the OfferingsPreface Dialogue Priest: The Lord be with you. R/ And with your spirit. Priest: Lift up your hearts. R/ We lift them up to the Lord. Priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. R/ It is right and just.

Though I may speak with bravest fire,And have the gift to all inspire,And have not love, my words are vain,As sounding brass, and hopeless gain.

Set me as a seal on your heart.Set me as a seal on your soul.For strong as death is love,unyielding as the grave.Nothing will quench its flame,nothing will quench its flame.

Kiss me, my love,that your name be on my lips.You intoxicate my beingwith the fragrance of your presence.How beautiful you are, my darling.Show me your face,let me hear your voice,sweet as the dew in the early morn,like a lily among the thorns.

I looked for you, the one my heart loves;I looked for you, but did not find you.Searched through the nightuntil I rested in your sight.Now I will never let you go.'Cause you have stolen my heart,my sister, my bride;you've stolen my heartwith one glance of your eyes.Your lips so sweet, adorned with honey.My hands, they drip with myrrh.

Though I may give all I possess,And striving so my love profess,But not be given by love within,The profit soon turns strangely thin.

Come, Spirit, come, our hearts control,Our spirits long to be made whole.Let inward love guide every deed;By this we worship, and are freed.

Communion Song — Ubi Caritas The Assembly sings:

1. How beautiful the hands that served the wine and the bread and the children of earth. How beautiful the feet that walked the long dusty roads and the hill to the Cross. How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the Body of Christ.

2. How beautiful the heart that bled, that took all my sins and bore it instead. How beautiful the tender eyes that chose to forgive and never despise. How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the Body of Christ.

3. And as he laid down his life, we offer this sacrifice that we will live just as he died: willing to pay the price.

4. How beautiful the feet that bring the sound of good news and the love of the King. How beautiful the hands that serve the wine and the bread and the children of earth How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the Body of Christ.
