00:00In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, peace be with you.

00:19Today we are celebrating the feast of St. Francis Xavier,

00:23that great missionary who went throughout Southeast Asia and South Asia

00:28and Far East preaching the gospel.

00:32So we hear our own call to follow Jesus in our own vocation

00:37as we recognize our sins and recognize the compassion, the mercy and the love of God.

00:43You forgive our sins, Lord, have mercy.

00:47You call us away from confusion into love, Christ, have mercy.

00:51And your love is bigger than anything, Lord, have mercy.

00:55May Almighty God have mercy on us.

00:57Forgive us our sins and lead us into healing and life everlasting.

01:03Let us pray.

01:05O God, who through the preaching of St. Francis Xavier won many peoples to yourself,

01:10grant that the hearts of the faithful may burn more the same zeal for the faith

01:15and that Holy Church may everywhere rejoice in abundance of offspring.

01:20Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

01:22who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.

01:28Let's listen now to the word of God.

01:30A reading from the first letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians.

01:39I do not boast of preaching the gospel, since it is a duty which has been laid on me.

01:49I should be punished if I did not preach it.

01:53If I had chosen this work myself, I might have been paid for it.

02:00But as I have not, it is a responsibility which has been put into my hands.

02:08Do you know what my reward is?

02:11It is this, in my preaching, to be able to offer the good news free and not insist on the rights which the gospel gives me.

02:27So, though I am not a slave of any man, I have made myself the slave of everyone so as to win as many as I could.

02:38For the weak, I made myself weak.

02:43I made myself all things to all men in order to save some at any cost.

02:50And I still do this for the sake of the gospel, to have a share in its blessings.

03:00This is the word of the Lord.

03:02Thanks be to God.

03:03Go out to all the world and tell the good news.

03:08Go out to all the world and tell the good news.

03:12Oh, praise the Lord, O your nations.

03:15Acclaim him, O your peoples.

03:17Go out to all the world and tell the good news.

03:21Strong is his love for us.

03:24He is faithful forever.

03:26Go out to all the world and tell the good news.

03:28Alleluia, Alleluia.

03:33Go and teach all people my gospel.

03:36I am with you always until the end of the world.

03:39Alleluia.

03:40The Lord be with you.

03:45And with you.

03:46A reading from the holy gospel according to Mark.

03:49Glory to you, O Lord.

03:52Jesus showed himself to the eleven and he said to them,

03:56Go out to the whole world.

03:59Proclaim the good news to all creation.

04:02He who believes and is baptized will be saved.

04:05He who does not believe will be condemned.

04:07These are the signs that will be associated with believers.

04:13In my name they will cast out devils.

04:16They will have the gift of tongues.

04:19They will pick up snakes in their hands

04:21and be unharmed should they bring deadly poison.

04:25They will lay their hands on the sick who will recover.

04:30And so the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them,

04:35was taken up to heaven.

04:36There at the right hand of God, he took his place.

04:41While they, going out, preached everywhere.

04:45The Lord working with them

04:46and confirming the world by the signs that accompanied it.

04:51The gospel of the Lord.

04:57Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

05:01St. Francis Xavier met St. Ignatius in Paris

05:05where they were studying theology together.

05:08And Ignatius saw in him what Francis Xavier had not seen in himself.

05:13And he kept inviting him to reflect on his life.

05:17To challenge his thoughts.

05:21And to cut this story short, in the end,

05:23he was able to give his whole life to Jesus.

05:27He was asking questions like this.

05:29What do you want to do in life?

05:31Oh, I want to become a lawyer.

05:33And after that, I become a famous lawyer.

05:35And after that, bring honor to my family.

05:38And after that, of course, I will die eventually.

05:41So he kept on challenging him as to his value system.

05:45And eventually he became the great missionary that we know.

05:48Went right throughout, into Japan,

05:51into the Molokkas, into India,

05:55and died on the way to China,

05:57doing amazing work, baptizing untold thousands.

06:01Well, we are all called in our own vocation, of course,

06:04to proclaim the gospel and to make disciples.

06:06All of us in our own different ways.

06:09We are called to be disciples

06:11and to help build disciples.

06:13In a fractured world,

06:15the world of ours fractured by sin and division,

06:19we are called to be instruments of peace and healing

06:21with the good news of Jesus risen.

06:25And that is not easy.

06:26That's why we need the grace of God.

06:39Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation.

06:49For to your goodness we have this bread to offer.

06:52Which earth has given human hands have made,

06:54it will become for us the bread of life.

06:57Blessed be God, for forever.

06:58Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation.

07:19For to your goodness we have this wine to offer.

07:22Fruit of divine work of human hands.

07:24It will become a spiritual drink.

07:27Blessed be God, for forever.

07:41Let us pray, brothers and sisters,

07:43that my sacrifice and yours

07:44may be acceptable to God, our almighty Father.

07:48May the Lord accept this sacrifice at our hands.

07:51For the praise and glory of God's name,

07:53for our good and the good of God's holy church.

07:57Receive, O Lord, these offerings we bring you

07:59in commemoration of St. Francis Xavier,

08:02and grant that as he journeyed to distant lands,

08:05out of longing for the salvation of souls,

08:08so we too, bearing effective witness to the gospel,

08:12may with our brothers and sisters,

08:14eagerly hasten towards him.

08:16Through Christ our Lord.

08:18Amen.

08:18The Lord be with you.

08:22And with your spirit.

08:23Lift up your hearts.

08:25Amen.

08:26Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

08:30It is right and just.

08:32Amen.

08:32It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,

08:48always and everywhere, to give you thanks,

08:50Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God.

08:53For you are praised in the company of your saints,

08:57and in crowning their merits, you crown your own gifts.

09:01By their way of life, you offer us an example.

09:04By communion with them, you give us companionship.

09:07By their intercession, true support.

09:09So that, encouraged by so great a cloud of witnesses,

09:12we may run as victors in the race before us,

09:16and with them, the imperishable crown of glory,

09:20through Christ our Lord.

09:21And so, with angels and archangels,

09:24we thronged the great multitude of saints.

09:26We sing the hymn of your praise,

09:28as without end we acclaim.

09:30Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of hosts,

09:34heaven and earth are full of your glory.

09:36Hosanna in the highest.

09:38Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

09:41Hosanna in the highest.

09:43You are indeed holy, O Lord,

09:47the fount of all holiness.

09:48Make holy therefore these gifts, we pray,

09:51by sending down your Spirit upon them

09:53like the dewfall,

09:54so they may become for us

09:56the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

09:59At the time he was betrayed

10:00and then willingly into his passion,

10:03he took bread,

10:05and giving thanks, broke it

10:07and gave it to his disciples,

10:08saying, take this, all of you,

10:10and eat of it,

10:11for this is my body,

10:13which will be given up for you.

10:20In a similar way,

10:22when supper was ended,

10:23he took the chalice,

10:25and once more giving thanks,

10:27he gave it to his disciples,

10:29saying, take this, all of you,

10:30and drink from it,

10:32for this is the chalice of my blood,

10:34the blood of the new and eternal covenant,

10:37which will be poured out for you

10:39and for many,

10:40for the forgiveness of sins,

10:43do this in memory of me.

10:45The mystery of faith.

10:53when we eat this bread and drink this cup,

10:57we proclaim your death, O Lord,

11:00until you come again.

11:01Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection,

11:07we offer you, Lord,

11:08the bread of life and the chalice of salvation,

11:12giving thanks that you've held us worthy

11:14to be in your presence and minister to you.

11:17Humbly we pray,

11:19that partaking of the body and blood of Christ,

11:22we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.

11:24Remember, Lord,

11:26your church spread throughout the world

11:28and bring her to the fullness of charity,

11:31together with Leo,

11:33our Pope,

11:33me,

11:33your unworthy servant,

11:35and all the clergy.

11:37Remember also our brothers and sisters

11:39who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection,

11:42and all who have died in your mercy.

11:46Welcome them into the light of your face.

11:50Have mercy on us all,

11:51we pray,

11:52that with the blessed Virgin Mary,

11:54Mother of God,

11:56blessed Joseph,

11:56her spouse,

12:00St. Francis Xavier,

12:02and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages,

12:05we may,

12:06through your grace,

12:07merit to be coerced to eternal life,

12:09and may praise and glorify you,

12:12through your Son,

12:13Jesus Christ.

12:16Through him and with him and in him,

12:19O God,

12:19Almighty Father,

12:20in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

12:22all glory and honor is yours forever and ever.

12:26Amen.

12:28At the Savior's command,

12:29and formed by divine teaching,

12:31we dare to say,

12:33Our Father,

12:34who art in heaven,

12:35hallowed be thy name,

12:37thy kingdom come,

12:38thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

12:42Give us this day our daily bread,

12:45and forgive us our trespasses,

12:47as we forgive those who trespass against us.

12:51And lead us not into temptation,

12:53but deliver us from evil.

12:55Deliver us, Lord, we pray,

12:56from every evil.

12:58Graciously grant peace in our days,

13:00that by the help of your mercy,

13:02we may be always free from sin,

13:04and safe from all distress,

13:06as we await the blessed hope,

13:08and the coming of our Savior,

13:10Jesus Christ.

13:11For the kingdom,

13:12the power,

13:13and the glory are yours,

13:15now and forever.

13:16Lord Jesus Christ,

13:18who has said to your apostles,

13:20Peace I leave you,

13:21my peace I give you.

13:22Look not on our sins,

13:23but on the faith of your church,

13:25and graciously grant her peace and unity,

13:28in accordance with your will,

13:30who live and reign forever and ever.

13:32Amen.

13:33The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always.

13:37Let us offer each other a sign of peace.

14:14I am not worthy you should enter under my roof,

14:16but only say the word,

14:18and my soul shall be healed.

14:21My Jesus,

14:22I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament.

14:25I love you above all things,

14:27and I desire to receive you into my soul.

14:30Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
