Sixth Sunday in Ordinary time Gloria Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, Almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; You take away the sins of the world, receive our prayers; You are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, You alone are the Lord, You alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, In the Glory of God the Father. Amen. Collect O God, who teach us that you abide in hearts that are just and true, grant that we may be so fashioned by your grace as to become a dwelling pleasing to you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen First Reading (Jer 17:5-8) A reading from the prophet Jeremiah The Lord says this: ‘A curse on the man who puts his trust in man, who relies on things of flesh, whose heart turns from the Lord. He is like dry scrub in the wastelands: if good comes , he has no eyes for it, he settles in the parched places of the wilderness, a salt land, uninhabited. A blessing on the man who puts his trust in the Lord, with the Lord for his hope. He is like a tree by the waterside that thrusts its roots to the stream: when the heat comes it feels no alarm, its foliage stays green; it has no worries in a year of drought, and never ceases to bear fruit,’ The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Responsorial Psalm Happy the man who has placed his trust in the Lord. Happy indeed is the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked; nor lingers in the way of sinners, nor sits in the company of scorners, but whose delight is the law of the Lord and who ponders his law day and night. R He is like a tree that is planted beside the flowing waters, that yields its fruit in due season and whose leaves shall never fade; and all that he does shall prosper. R Not so are the wicked, not so! For they like winnowed chaff shall be driven away by the wind. For the Lord guards the way of the just but the way of the wicked leads to doom. R Second Reading (15:12, 16-20) A reading from the first letter of St Paul to the Corinthians If Christ raised from the dead is what has been preached , how can some of you be saying that there is no resurrection of the dead? For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised, and If Christ has not been raised, you are still in your sins. And what is more serious , all who have died in Christ have perished. If our hope in Christ has been for this life only, we are the most unfortu- nate of all people. But Christ has in fact been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia! Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; for revealing the mysteries of the kingdom to mere children. Alleluia! Gospel (Lk 6:17.20-26) A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke. Jesus came down with the Twelve and stopped at a piece on a level ground, where there was a large gathering of his disciples and a great crowd of people from all parts Judea and from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon who had come to hear him and to be cured of their diseases. Then fixing his eyes on his disciples he said: “How happy are you who are poor, yours is the kingdom of God. “Happy you who are hungry now, you shall be satisfied. “Happy you who weep now you shall laugh. “Happy are you when people hate you, driven you out, abuse you, denounce your name as criminal, on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice when that day comes and dance for joy, for then your reward is great in heaven. This was the way their ances- tors treated the prophets. “But alas for you who are rich, you are having your consolation now. “Alas for you who have your fill now, you shall go hungry. “Alas for you who laugh now: you shall mourn and weep. “Alas for you when the world speaks well of you,! This was the way their ancestors treated the false prophets. The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ. Profession of Faith 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 and for our salvation he came down from heaven, 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 be- lieve 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 forgive- ness of sins and I look forward to the resurrec- tion of the dead and the life of the world to come.

First Reading (Jer 17:5-8) A reading from the prophet Jeremiah

The Lord says this: ‘A curse on the man who puts his trust in man, who relies on things of flesh, whose heart turns from the Lord. He is like dry scrub in the wastelands: if good comes , he has no eyes for it, he settles in the parched places of the wilderness, a salt land, uninhabited. ‘ A blessing on the man who puts his trust in the Lord, with the Lord for his hope. He is like a tree by the waterside that thrusts its roots to the stream: when the heat comes it feels no alarm, its foliage stays green; it has no worries in a year of drought, and never ceases to bear fruit,’ The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm

Happy the man who has placed his trust in the

Lord.

Happy indeed is the man

who follows not the counsel of the wicked;

nor lingers in the way of sinners,

nor sits in the company of scorners,

but whose delight is the law of the Lord

and who ponders his law day and night. R

He is like a tree that is planted

beside the flowing waters,

that yields its fruit in due season

and whose leaves shall never fade;

and all that he does shall prosper. R

Not so are the wicked, not so!

For they like winnowed chaff

shall be driven away by the wind.

For the Lord guards the way of the just but the way

of the wicked leads to doom. R

Second Reading (15:12, 16-20)

A reading from the first letter of St Paul to the

Corinthians

If Christ raised from the dead is what has been

preached , how can some of you be saying that

there is no resurrection of the dead? For if the

dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised,

and If Christ has not been raised, you are still in

your sins. And what is more serious , all who have

died in Christ have perished. If our hope in Christ

has been for this life only, we are the most unfortu-

nate of all people.

But Christ has in fact been raised from the dead,

the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.
