The Introductory Rites
When the people are gathered, the Priest approaches the altar with the ministers while the Entrance Chant is sung.
Entrance Antiphon: Monday, January 29 p. 26. Tuesday, January 30 p. 27. Wednesday, January 31
p. 30.
When he has arrived at the altar, after making a profound bow with the ministers, the Priest venerates the altar
with a kiss and, if appropriate, incenses the cross and the altar. Then, with the ministers, he goes to the chair.
When the Entrance Chant is concluded, the Priest and the faithful, standing, sign themselves with the Sign of
the Cross, while the Priest, facing the people, says:
In nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus
Sancti.
In the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
The people reply:
Amen. Amen.
Then the Priest, extending his hands, greets the people, saying:
Grátia Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, et
cáritas Dei, et communicátio Sancti
Spíritus sit cum ómnibus vobis.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
the love of God, and the communion of
the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
Or:
Grátia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro
et Dómino Iesu Christo.
Grace to you and peace from God our
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Or:
Dóminus vobíscum. The Lord be with you.
The people reply:
Et cum spíritu tuo. And with your spirit.
In this rst greeting a Bishop, instead of The Lord be with you, says:
Pax vobis. Peace be with you.
The Priest, or a Deacon, or another minister, may very brie�y introduce the faithful to the Mass of the day.
Then follows the Penitential Act, to which the Priest invites the faithful, saying:
Fratres, agnoscámus peccáta nostra,
ut apti simus ad sacra mystéria cele-
bránda.
Brethren (brothers and sisters), let us ac-
knowledge our sins, and so prepare our-
selves to celebrate the sacred mysteries.
A brief pause for silence follows. Then all recite together the formula of general confession:
Confíteor Deo omnipoténti et vobis,
fratres, quia peccávi nimis cogitatió-
ne, verbo, ópere et omissióne:
I confess to almighty God and to you, my
brothers and sisters, that I have greatly
sinned, in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have
failed to do,
INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS
And, striking their breast, they say:
mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima
culpa.
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
Then they continue:
Ideo precor beátam Maríam semper
Vírginem, omnes Angelos et Sanctos,
et vos, fratres, oráre pro me ad Dómi-
num Deum nostrum.
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.
The absolution by the Priest follows:
Misereátur nostri omnípotens Deus
et, dimíssis peccátis nostris, perdúcat
nos ad vitam ætérnam.
May almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins, and bring us to ev-
erlasting life.
The people reply:

To indicate the end of the reading, the reader acclaims:

JANUARY 29–31, 2018
All reply:
Deo grátias. Thanks be to God.
There follows the Alleluia or another chant laid down by the rubrics, as the liturgical time requires.
Meanwhile, if incense is used, the Priest puts some into the thurible. After this, the Deacon who is to proclaim
the Gospel, bowing profoundly before the Priest, asks for the blessing, saying in a low voice:
Iube, domne, benedícere. Your blessing, Father.
The Priest says in a low voice:
Dóminus sit in corde tuo et in lábiis
tuis, ut digne et competénter annún-
ties Evangélium suum: in nómine Pa-
tris, et Fílii, + et Spíritus Sancti.
May the Lord be in your heart and on
your lips, that you may proclaim his
Gospel worthily and well, in the name
of the Father and of the Son + and of
the Holy Spirit.
The Deacon signs himself with the Sign of the Cross and replies:
Amen. Amen.
If, however, a Deacon is not present, the Priest, bowing before the altar, says quietly:
Munda cor meum ac lábia mea, omní-
potens Deus, ut sanctum Evangélium
tuum digne váleam nuntiáre.
Cleanse my heart and my lips, almighty
God, that I may worthily proclaim your
holy Gospel.
The Deacon, or the Priest, then proceeds to the ambo, accompanied, if appropriate, by ministers with incense
and candles. There he says:
Dóminus vobíscum. The Lord be with you.
The people reply:
Et cum Spíritu tuo. And with your spirit.
The Deacon, or the Priest:

ing to N.

The people acclaim:
Glória tibi, Dómine. Glory to you, O Lord.
Then the Deacon, or the Priest, incenses the book, if incense is used, and proclaims the Gospel.
At the end of the Gospel, the Deacon, or the Priest, acclaims:

Then he kisses the book, saying quietly:
Per evangélica dicta deleántur nostra
delícta.
Through the words of the Gospel may
our sins be wiped away.
Then follows the Homily, which is to be preached by a Priest or Deacon on all Sundays and Holydays of
Obligation; on other days, it is recommended.
Then follows the Universal Prayer, that is, the Prayer of the Faithful or Bidding Prayers.
The Liturgy of the Eucharist
When all this has been done, the Offertory Chant begins. Meanwhile, the ministers place the corporal, the
purificator, the chalice, the pall, and the Missal on the altar.
It is desirable that the faithful express their participation by making an offering, bringing forward bread and wine
for the celebration of the Eucharist and perhaps other gifts to relieve the needs of the Church and of the poor.
The Priest, standing at the altar, takes the paten with the bread and holds it slightly raised above the altar with
both hands, saying in a low voice:
Benedíctus es, Dómine, Deus univér-
si, quia de tua largitáte accépimus
panem, quem tibi offérimus, fructum
terræ et óperis mánuum hóminum: ex
quo nobis î€�et panis vitæ.
Blessed are you, Lord God of all cre-
ation, for through your goodness we
have received the bread we offer you:
fruit of the earth and work of human
hands, it will become for us the bread
of life.
Then he places the paten with the bread on the corporal.
If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these words aloud; at the end, the people
may acclaim:
Benedíctus Deus in sǽcula. Blessed be God for ever.
The Deacon, or the Priest, pours wine and a little water into the chalice, saying quietly:
Per huius aquæ et vini mystérium
eius efficiámur divinitátis consórtes,
qui humanitátis nostræ fíeri dignátus
est párticeps.
By the mystery of this water and wine
may we come to share in the divinity of
Christ who humbled himself to share in
our humanity.
The Priest then takes the chalice and holds it slightly raised above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice:
Benedíctus es, Dómine, Deus univér-
si, quia de tua largitáte accépimus vi-
num, quod tibi offérimus, fructum vi-
tis et óperis mánuum hóminum, ex
quo nobis î€�et potus spiritális.
Blessed are you, Lord God of all cre-
ation, for through your goodness we
have received the wine we offer you:
fruit of the vine and work of hu-
man hands, it will become our spiritual
drink.

JANUARY 29–31, 2018
Then he places the chalice on the corporal.
If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these words aloud; at the end, the people
may acclaim:
Benedíctus Deus in sǽcula. Blessed be God for ever.
After this, the Priest, bowing profoundly, says quietly:
In spíritu humilitátis et in ánimo con-
tríto suscipiámur a te, Dómine; et sic
î€�at sacrifícium nostrum in conspéc-
tu tuo hódie. ut pláceat tibi, Dómine
Deus.
With humble spirit and contrite heart
may we be accepted by you, O Lord, and
may our sacrifice in your sight this day
be pleasing to you, Lord God.
If appropriate, he also incenses the offerings, the cross, and the altar. A Deacon or other minister then incenses
the Priest and the people.
Then the Priest, standing at the side of the altar, washes his hands, saying quietly:
Lava me, Dómine, ab iniquitáte mea,
et a peccáto meo munda me.
Wash me, O Lord, from my iniquity and
cleanse me from my sin.
Standing at the middle of the altar, facing the people, extending and then joining his hands, he says:
Oráte, fratres: ut meum ac vestrum
sacrifícium acceptábile î€�at apud
Deum Patrem omnipoténtem.
Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters),
that my sacrifice and yours may be ac-
ceptable to God, the almighty Father.
The people rise and reply:
Suscípiat Dóminus sacrifícium de má-
nibus tuis ad laudem et glóriam nó-
minis sui, ad utilitátem quoque no-
stram totiúsque Ecclésiæ suæ sanctæ.
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.
Then the Priest, with hands extended, says the Prayer over the Offerings.

31 p. 30.
At the end of which the people acclaim:

It is truly right and just, our duty
and our salvation, always and every-

bid your Church rejoice, so, too, you

With hands extended, the Priest alone continues, saying:
Líbera nos, quǽsumus, Dómine, ab
ómnibus malis, da propítius pacem in
diébus nostris, ut, ope misericórdiæ
tuæ adiúti, et a peccáto simus semper
líberi et ab omni perturbatióne secú-

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every
evil, graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the help of your mercy, we
may be always free from sin and safe
from all distress, as we await the blessed

He joins his hands.
The people conclude the prayer, acclaiming:
Quia tuum est regnum, et potéstas, et
glória in sǽcula.
For the kingdom, the power and the glo-
ry are yours now and for ever.
Then the Priest, with hands extended, says aloud:
Dómine Iesu Christe, qui dixísti Apó-
stolis tuis: Pacem relínquo vobis, pa-
cem meam do vobis: ne respícias pec-
cáta nostra, sed fidem Ecclésiæ tuæ;

Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your
Apostles: Peace I leave you, my peace I

grant her peace and unity in accordance
with your will.
He joins his hands.
Qui vivis et regnas in sǽcula sæculó-

The people reply:
Et cum spíritu tuo. And with your spirit.
Then, if appropriate, the Deacon, or the Priest, adds:
Offérte vobis pacem. Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
And all offer one another a sign, in keeping with local customs, that expresses peace, communion, and charity.
The Priest gives the sign of peace to a Deacon or minister.
Then he takes the host, breaks it over the paten, and places a small piece in the chalice, saying quietly:
Hæc commíxtio Córporis et Sánguinis
Dómini nostri Iesu Christi î€�at acci-
piéntibus nobis in vitam ætérnam.
May this mingling of the Body and Blood
of our Lord Jesus Christ bring eternal

The invocation may even be repeated several times if the fraction is prolonged. Only the final time, however,

Then the Priest, with hands joined, says quietly:
Dómine Iesu Christe, Fili Dei vivi, qui
ex voluntáte Patris, cooperánte Spíri-
tu Sancto, per mortem tuam mundum
vivificásti: líbera me per hoc sacro-
sánctum Corpus et Sánguinem tuum
ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis et uni-
vérsis malis: et fac me tuis semper in-
hærére mandátis, et a te numquam
separári permíttas.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,
who, by the will of the Father and the
work of the Holy Spirit, through your
Death gave life to the world, free me
by this, your most holy Body and Blood,
from all my sins and from every evil;
keep me always faithful to your com-
mandments, nd never let me be parted
from you.
Or:
Percéptio Córporis et Sánguinis tui,
Dómine Iesu Christe, non mihi prové-
niat in iudícium et condemnatiónem:
sed pro tua pietáte prosit mihi ad tu-
taméntum mentis et córporis, et ad
medélam percipiéndam.
May the receiving of your Body and
Blood, Lord Jesus Christ, not bring me
to judgment and condemnation, but
through your loving mercy be for me
protection in mind and body and a heal-
ing remedy.
The Priest genuflects, takes the host and, holding it slightly raised above the paten or above the chalice, while
facing the people, says aloud:
Ecce Agnus Dei, ecce qui tollit peccá-
ta mundi. Beáti qui ad cenam Agni
vocáti sunt.
Behold the Lamb of God, behold him
who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper of
the Lamb.
And together with the people he adds once:
Dómine, non sum dignus, ut intres
sub tectum meum, sed tantum dic
verbo et sanábitur ánima mea.
Lord, I am not worthy that you should
enter under my roof, but only say the
word and my soul shall be healed.
The Priest, facing the altar, says quietly:
Corpus Christi custódiat me in vitam
ætérnam.
May the Body of Christ keep me safe for
eternal life.
And he reverently consumes the Body of Christ.
Communion antiphon: Monday, January 29 p. 27. Tuesday, January 30 p. 29. Wednesday, January

Then he takes the chalice and says quietly:
Sanguis Christi custódiat me in vitam

May the Blood of Christ keep me safe for
eternal life.
18
JANUARY 29–31, 2018
And he reverently consumes the Blood of Christ.
After this, he takes the paten or ciborium and approaches the communicants. The Priest raises a host slightly
and shows it to each of the communicants, saying:
Corpus Christi. The Body of Christ.
The communicant replies:
Amen. Amen.
And receives Holy Communion.
If a Deacon also distributes Holy Communion, he does so in the same manner.
If any are present who are to receive Holy Communion under both kinds, the rite described in the proper place
is to be followed.
While the Priest is receiving the Body of Christ, the Communion Chant begins.
When the distribution of Communion is over, the Priest or a Deacon or an acolyte purifies the paten over the
chalice and also the chalice itself.
While he carries out the purification, the Priest says quietly:
Quod ore súmpsimus, Dómine, pura
mente capiámus, et de múnere tem-
poráli î€�at nobis remédium sempitér-
num.
What has passed our lips as food, O Lord,
may we possess in purity of heart, that
what has been given to us in time may
be our healing for eternity.
Then, standing at the altar or at the chair and facing the people, with hands joined, the Priest says:
Orémus. Let us pray.
All pray in silence with the Priest for a while, unless silence has just been observed. Then the Priest, with hands
extended, says the Prayer after Communion.
Prayer after Communion: Monday, January 29 p. 27. Tuesday, January 30 p. 29. Wednesday, January

At the end of which the people acclaim:

Then the Deacon, or the Priest himself, with hands joined and facing the people, says:

READING
An informant came to David with the report, « The children of Israel have transferred
their loyalty to Absalom. » At this, David said to all his servants who were with him
in Jerusalem: « Up! Let us take ight, or none of us will escape from Absalom. Leave
quickly, lest he hurry and overtake us, then visit disaster upon us and put the city
to the sword. »
As David went up the Mount of Olives, he wept without ceasing. His head was
covered, and he was walking barefoot. All those who were with him also had their
heads covered and were weeping as they went.
As David was approaching Bahurim, a man named Shimei, the son of Gera of the
same clan as Saul's family, was coming out of the place, cursing as he came. He
threw stones at David and at all the king's officers, even though all the soldiers,
including the royal guard, were on David's right and on his left. Shimei was saying as
he cursed: « Away, away, you murderous and wicked man! The LORD has requited
you for all the bloodshed in the family of Saul, in whose stead you became king,
and the LORD has given over the kingdom to your son Absalom. And now you suffer
ruin because you are a murderer. » Abishai, son of Zeruiah, said to the king: « Why
should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over, please, and lop o
his head. » But the king replied: « What business is it of mine or of yours, sons of
Zeruiah, that he curses? Suppose the LORD has told him to curse David; who then
will dare to say, “ Why are you doing this? ” » Then the king said to Abishai and
to all his servants: « If my own son, who came forth from my loins, is seeking my
life, how much more might this Benjaminite do so? Let him alone and let him curse,
for the LORD has told him to. Perhaps the LORD will look upon my affliction and
make it up to me with benefits for the curses he is uttering this day. » David and his
men continued on the road, while Shimei kept abreast of them on the hillside, all
the while cursing and throwing stones and dirt as he went.

Jesus and his disciples came to the other side of the sea, to the territory of the
Gerasenes. When he got out of the boat, at once a man from the tombs who had an
unclean spirit met him. The man had been dwelling among the tombs, and no one
could restrain him any longer, even with a chain. In fact, he had frequently been
bound with shackles and chains, but the chains had been pulled apart by him and
the shackles smashed, and no one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day
among the tombs and on the hillsides he was always crying out and bruising himself
with stones. Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran up and prostrated himself
before him, crying out in a loud voice, « What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of
the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me! » (He had been saying
to him, « Unclean spirit, come out of the man! ») He asked him, « What is your
name? » He replied, « Legion is my name. There are many of us. » And he pleaded
earnestly with him not to drive them away from that territory.
Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside. And they pleaded with
him, « Send us into the swine. Let us enter them. » And he let them, and the unclean
spirits came out and entered the swine. The herd of about two thousand rushed
down a steep bank into the sea, where they were drowned. The swineherds ran away
and reported the incident in the town and throughout the countryside. And people
came out to see what had happened. As they approached Jesus, they caught sight
of the man who had been possessed by Legion, sitting there clothed and in his right
mind. And they were seized with fear. Those who witnessed the incident explained
to them what had happened to the possessed man and to the swine. Then they began
to beg him to leave their district. As he was getting into the boat, the man who had
been possessed pleaded to remain with him. But Jesus would not permit him but
told him instead, « Go home to your family and announce to them all that the Lord
in his pity has done for you. » Then the man went o and began to proclaim in the
Decapolis what Jesus had done for him; and all were amazed.

Absalom unexpectedly came up against David’s servants. He was mounted on a mule,
and, as the mule passed under the branches of a large terebinth, his hair caught fast
in the tree. He hung between heaven and earth while the mule he had been riding
ran o. Someone saw this and reported to Joab that he had seen Absalom hanging
22
JANUARY 29–31, 2018
from a terebinth. And taking three pikes in hand, he thrust for the heart of Absalom,
still hanging from the tree alive.
Now David was sitting between the two gates, and a lookout went up to the roof
of the gate above the city wall, where he looked about and saw a man running all
alone. The lookout shouted to inform the king, who said, « If he is alone, he has good
news to report. » The king said, « Step aside and remain in attendance here. » So he
stepped aside and remained there. When the Cushite messenger came in, he said,
« Let my lord the king receive the good news that this day the LORD has taken your
part, freeing you from the grasp of all who rebelled against you. » But the king asked
the Cushite, « Is young Absalom safe? » The Cushite replied, « May the enemies of my
lord the king and all who rebel against you with evil intent be as that young man! »
The king was shaken, and went up to the room over the city gate to weep. He said
as he wept, « My son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead
of you, Absalom, my son, my son! »
Joab was told that the king was weeping and mourning for Absalom; and that day’s
victory was turned into mourning for the whole army when they heard that the king
was grieving for his son.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
R. Listen, Lord, and answer me.
Incline your ear, O LORD; answer me, for I am afflicted and poor. Keep my life, for
I am devoted to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God. R. Have
mercy on me, O Lord, for to you I call all the day. Gladden the soul of your servant,

When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered
around him, and he stayed close to the sea. One of the synagogue officials, named
Jairus, came forward. Seeing him he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him,
saying, « My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her
that she may get well and live. » He went o with him and a large crowd followed
him. There was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. She had suf-
fered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet she
was not helped but only grew worse. She had heard about Jesus and came up behind
him in the crowd and touched his cloak. She said, « If I but touch his clothes, I shall
be cured. » Immediately her ow of blood dried up. She felt in her body that she
was healed of her affliction. Jesus, aware at once that power had gone out from

him, turned around in the crowd and asked, « Who has touched my clothes? » But
his disciples said to him, « You see how the crowd is pressing upon you, and yet
you ask, Who touched me? » And he looked around to see who had done it. The
woman, realizing what had happened to her, approached in fear and trembling. She
fell down before Jesus and told him the whole truth. He said to her, « Daughter,
your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction. » While he was
still speaking, people from the synagogue official's house arrived and said, « Your
daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer? » Disregarding the message
that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, « Do not be afraid; just have
faith. » He did not allow anyone to accompany him inside except Peter, James, and
John, the brother of James. When they arrived at the house of the synagogue official,
he caught sight of a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. So he went in
and said to them, « Why this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but
asleep. » And they ridiculed him. Then he put them all out. He took along the child's
father and mother and those who were with him and entered the room where the
child was. He took the child by the hand and said to her, « Talitha koum, » which
means, « Little girl, I say to you, arise! » The girl, a child of twelve, arose immedi-
ately and walked around. At that they were utterly astounded. He gave strict orders
that no one should know this and said that she should be given something to eat.

King David said to Joab and the leaders of the army who were with him, « Tour all
the tribes in Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba and register the people, that I may know
their number. » Joab then reported to the king the number of people registered: in
Israel, eight hundred thousand men �t for military service; in Judah, �ve hundred
thousand.
Afterward, however, David regretted having numbered the people, and said to the
LORD: « I have sinned grievously in what I have done. But now, LORD, forgive
the guilt of your servant, for I have been very foolish. » When David rose in the
morning, the LORD had spoken to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying: « Go and
say to David, ’This is what the LORD says: I offer you three alternatives; choose one
of them, and I will inflict it on you.’ » Gad then went to David to inform him. He
asked: « Do you want a three years’ famine to come upon your land, or to ee from
your enemy three months while he pursues you, or to have a three days’ pestilence
in your land? Now consider and decide what I must reply to him who sent me. »
David answered Gad: « I am in very serious difficulty. Let us fall by the hand of God,
for he is most merciful; but let me not fall by the hand of man. » Thus David chose
the pestilence. Now it was the time of the wheat harvest when the plague broke
out among the people. The LORD then sent a pestilence over Israel from morning
24
JANUARY 29–31, 2018
until the time appointed, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beer-
sheba died. But when the angel stretched forth his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy
it, the LORD regretted the calamity and said to the angel causing the destruction
among the people, « Enough now! Stay your hand. » The angel of the LORD was
then standing at the threshing oor of Araunah the Jebusite. When David saw the
angel who was striking the people, he said to the LORD: « It is I who have sinned;
it is I, the shepherd, who have done wrong. But these are sheep; what have they
done? Punish me and my kindred. »
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
R. Lord, forgive the wrong I have done.
Blessed is he whose fault is taken away, whose sin is covered. Blessed the man
to whom the LORD imputes not guilt, in whose spirit there is no guile. R. Then I
acknowledged my sin to you, my guilt I covered not. I said, « I confess my faults to
the LORD, » and you took away the guilt of my sin. R. For this shall every faithful
man pray to you in time of stress. Though deep waters overflow, they shall not reach
him. R. You are my shelter; from distress you will preserve me; with glad cries of
freedom you will ring me round. R.

Jesus departed from there and came to his native place, accompanied by his disci-

heard him were astonished. They said, « Where did this man get all this? What kind
of wisdom has been given him? What mighty deeds are wrought by his hands! Is
he not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joseph and
Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? » And they took offense at
him. Jesus said to them, « A prophet is not without honor except in his native place
and among his own kin and in his own house. » So he was not able to perform any
mighty deed there, apart from curing a few sick people by laying his hands on them.
He was amazed at their lack of faith.
