WEEKLY MISSALBULLETIN

Image by: Pixabay, MabelAmberEphesians 5:28-32

So also husbands should love their wives

as their own bodies.

He who loves his wife loves himself.

For no one hates his own flesh

but rather nourishes and cherishes it,

even as Christ does the church,

because we are members of his body.

For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother

and be joined to his wife,

and the two shall become one flesh.

This is a great mystery,

but I speak in reference to Christ and the church.

PRELUDE


Order of the Mass

COLLECTO God, who cause the minds of the faithfulto unite in a single purpose,grant your people to love what you commandand to desire what you promise,that, amid the uncertainties of this world,our hearts may be fixed on that place

where true gladness is found.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.

A READING FROM THE BOOK OF JOSHUA Joshua 24:1-2a, 15-17, 18b

Joshua gathered together all the tribes of Israel at Shechem,summoning their elders, their leaders,their judges, and their officers.When they stood in ranks before God,Joshua addressed all the people:“If it does not please you to serve the LORD,decide today whom you will serve,the gods your fathers served beyond the Riveror the gods of the Amorites in whose country you are now dwelling.As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”

But the people answered,“Far be it from us to forsake the LORDfor the service of other gods.For it was the LORD, our God,who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt,out of a state of slavery.He performed those great miracles before our very eyesand protected us along our entire journeyand among the peoples through whom we passed.Therefore we also will serve the LORD, for he is our God.”

Liturgy of the Word


Order of the Mass

A READING FROM THE LETTER OF SAINT PAUL TO THE EPHESIANS

Brothers and sisters:Be subordinate to one another out of reverence for Christ.Wives should be subordinate to their husbands as to the Lord.For the husband is head of his wifejust as Christ is head of the church,he himself the savior of the body.As the church is subordinate to Christ,so wives should be subordinate to their husbands in everything.Husbands, love your wives,even as Christ loved the churchand handed himself over for her to sanctify her,cleansing her by the bath of water with the word,that he might present to himself

the church in splendor,without spot or wrinkle or any such thing,that she might be holy and without blemish.So also husbands should love their wives as their own bodies.He who loves his wife loves himself.For no one hates his own fleshbut rather nourishes and cherishes it,even as Christ does the church,because we are members of his body.For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife,and the two shall become one flesh.This is a great mystery,but I speak in reference to Christ and the church.

Ephesians 5:21-32

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION John 6:63c, 68c

Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life;you have the words of everlasting life.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 34:2-3, 16-17, 18-19, 20-21

I will bless the LORD at all times;Praise of Him is always in my mouth.In the LORD my soul shall make its boast;the humble shall hear and be glad. (R.)

The LORD turns His eyes to the just,and His ears are open to their cry.The LORD turns His face against the wicked,to destroy their remembrance from the earth. (R.)

When the just cry out, the LORD hears,and rescues them in all their distress.The LORD is close to the brokenhearted;and those whose spirit is crushed He will save. (R.)

Many are the trials of the just man,But from them all the LORD will rescue them;He will keep guard over all His bones;not one of His bones shall be broken. (R.)

Psalm34:TasteandSee

Lord.of thenessthe goodand seeTaste


Order of the MassA READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHNMany of Jesus’ disciples who were listening said,“This saying is hard; who can accept it?”Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this,he said to them, “Does this shock you?What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?It is the spirit that gives life,while the flesh is of no avail.The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life.But there are some of you who do not believe.”Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believeand the one who would betray him.

And he said,“For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.”

As a result of this,many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him.Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?”Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go?You have the words of eternal life.We have come to believeand are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”

John 6:60-69

HOMILY

PROFESSION OF FAITHI 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 salvationhe came down from heaven,(At the words that follow, up to and includingand 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 dayin accordance with the Scriptures.He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in gloryto judge the living and the deadand 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 sinsand I look forward to the resurrection of the deadand the life of the world to come. Amen.
