Transcript of Mother of Perpetual Help
The Nicene Creed
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, (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.

LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading Wisdom 1: 13–15; 2: 23–24
The book of Wisdom was addressed to a group of Jews living in Alexandria, Egypt. It begins with
a sharp contrast between good and evil. In the pagan world of that time, most people believed
that there were good gods and bad gods. The author emphasizes the Jewish belief that there is
just one God who is the source only of goodness and life. Psalm 30 I Will Praise You, Lord
Second Reading II Corinthians 8: 7, 9, 13–15
Today’s excerpt from Second Corinthians paints a picture of Paul the pastor at work. The Jewish
people in Jerusalem who had become Christians were a small minority and were being
persecuted. This brought on financial hardships. Paul wants his Gentile converts in Greece to
help them out and show that the bonds of Christianity cut across ethnic lines.

LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading Ezekiel 2: 2–5
Our first Scripture reading describes the call of the prophet Ezekiel. He was a Jewish priest
who was deported to Babylon at the time of the exile. He is called to proclaim God’s word to
those who are exiled with him. God warns him that this will be no easy task.
Psalm 123 Our Eyes Are Fixed
Second Reading II Corinthians 12: 7–10
In the passage just preceding today’s reading from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, he
described some of his spiritual visions and revelations. But in today’s passage, he chooses
not to boast of these, but rather to talk about how God has worked through him despite his
weaknesses.

Sunday
Our entire society sees something special about Sunday. Business hours change. Breakfast menus expand. Work hours shrink. Sporting events surface. The newspaper inflates. Movie schedules increase. We expect leisure on Sunday. Part of the weekend, it begins the week and ends the week. It is a sacred day, a time outside normal time when life takes a break. Sunday symbolizes paradise, a place and pace of leisure and pleasure.
How did all this happen? We Christians owned Sunday first. It is our most important day. On a Sunday Jesus rose from the dead (Mt 28:1). On Sundays his followers met to break bread (Acts 20:7). The resurrection is our most central belief. We choose Sunday for our primary gathering because the day itself proclaims our faith. Mass on Wednesday or Monday just would not be the same. Sunday is Easter. You can change the day you shop for groceries or go to the bank without much loss. But church is different. It demands a particular day, like a holiday or an anniversary. If we did not gather for Eucharist on Sunday, we have not proclaimed the resurrection.
Our definition of “Sunday” includes Saturday night. This does not compromise to convenience. Jesus rose from the dead during the night. So our Eucharist still honors the resurrection when it takes place at the beginning of that night — namely, on Saturday evening.
If a serious reason keeps you from attending church on Sunday, your pastor may dispense you. Your conversation with him honors your commitment to your community. On a Sunday when you cannot participate in the Eucharist, you may wish to pray the Scriptures of that day and share a prayer at meal with other believers.
Unity, leisure and prayer characterize a Sunday. Our attendance at church unites us with the believers of our own community and with all Christians throughout the world. Our abstinence from work frees our mind for prayer. Football, food and freedom are all supplementary to Sunday’s main purpose, celebrating Eucharist.

LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading Amos 7: 12–15
Amos preached about 750 years before Christ and was the first prophet whose words were put
into writing. At that time, the Jewish people were split into two kingdoms: Israel in the north and
Judah in the south. God sent Amos from the southern kingdom of Judah to preach to the people
in the north. So he faithfully went there, to a place known as the shrine of Bethel. As so often
happens to prophets, the priest wasn’t pleased that he came.
Psalm 85 Let Us See Your Kindness
Second Reading Ephesians 1: 3–14
Today and for the next few weeks, we will be reading from the letter to the Ephesians. Ephesus, a
major seaport on the western coast of what is today Turkey, was a center for early Christians.
Today’s passage is the beginning of the letter and is a prayer praising God for the good things
God has done for us.

Question – How are the Sunday readings chosen?
Answer - The Second Vatican Council desired that “the treasures of the Bible…be opened up more lavishly, so that a richer share in God’s word may be provided for the faithful.” Before the Council, Catholics heard 2 readings in Latin each Sunday. The first reading was usually from the New Testament and the Gospel was almost always from Matthew. The readings followed a one-year cycle, with the same passage being read on the same Sunday each year.
After the Council, scholars spent 5 years studying the ancient texts. The result of their labor was the publication in 1969 of the Lectionary for Mass. (A Lectionary is a book of readings.) The Sunday readings now extend over a three year cycle (designated by the letters A, B, C) and they form a unified whole. Each Sunday has three readings. The first is taken from the Old Testament except during the Easter Season, when, following ancient tradition, the selection is from the Acts of the Apostles. As a rule, the first reading has some relationship to the gospel. The second reading is taken from the epistles or the Book of Revelation. The primary feature that differentiates each year is the gospel. During Year A there is a semi-continuous reading from Matthew; Year B from Mark; Year C from Luke. Because of its brevity, Mark is completed by readings taken from the gospel of John. We are currently in Year B of the Lectionary. The cycle changes on the First Sunday of Advent each year. The publication of the lectionary is considered one of the Council’s greatest gifts to the Church. It has also been a blessing from an ecumenical point of view. Many Christian churches now use the Revised Common Lectionary, a pattern of readings that follows the Catholic lectionary very closely. Although Christians cannot yet share at the Lord’s table, we can and do share at the Table of the Word.

LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading Jeremiah 23: 1–6
The prophet Jeremiah preached some 500 years before Christ, at a time when unworthy kings
ruled the Jewish people. He looked to the day when God would raise up a good shepherd
from the House of David. Later, the Gospel writers emphasized that Jesus was born of the
House of David, and Christians have seen him as the fulfillment of this prophecy.
Psalm 23 The Lord is My Shepherd
Second Reading Ephesians 2: 13–18
Our second reading is from the letter to the Ephesians. Ephesus was a community made up of
Jewish people who had become Christian, and Gentiles who had become Christian. In this
part of the letter, the author is addressing Gentiles—people who were once “far off” from the
true God, but have “come near.” As a result, both Jews and Gentiles are together as one
“new person,” namely the Body of Christ, the Church.

First Reading II Kings 4: 42–44
Elisha was the successor of the great prophet Elijah, who lived about 800 years before Christ.
Elisha was noted for his miraculous deeds. Today we hear of one such deed performed during a
time of famine.
Psalm 145 The Hand of the Lord
Second Reading Ephesians 4: 1–6
The first three chapters of the letter to the Ephesians teach doctrine; we now begin the next part
of the letter which contains practical advice for Christian living. In today’s passage, you will
hear the author speak of seven ways in which Christians are united. In one sense, this is the
foundation of the ecumenical movement.

Communion Procession I Am the Bread of Life
1- I am the bread of life. You who come to me shall not hunger;
and who believe in me shall not thirst. No one can come to me
unless the Father beckons.
2- The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world,
and if you eat of this bread, you shall live forever, you shall live forever.
3- Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink of his Blood, and drink of his blood, you shall not have life within you.
4- I am the resurrection, I am the life. If you believe in me
even though you die, you shall live forever.
5- Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God,
who have come into the world.
