00:14In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, peace be with you.
00:19We acknowledge our sins on this Lenten journey.
00:23Remember God's great compassion and love.
00:27You forgive our sins, Lord, have mercy.
00:31You call us away from confusion into love.
00:35Christ, have mercy.
00:37You give us your healing power.
00:40Lord, have mercy.
00:42May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and lead us into healing and life everlasting.
00:51Let us pray.
00:53Grant, we pray, Almighty God, that purifying us by the sacred practice of penance,
00:58you may lead us in sincerity of heart to obtain the holy things to come.
01:04Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
01:10God, forever and ever.
01:11Amen.
01:16A reading from the book of Genesis.
01:19Israel loved Joseph more than all his other sons, for he was the son of his old age,
01:25and he had a coat with long sleeves made for him.
01:29But his brothers, seeing how his father loved him more than all his other sons,
01:35came to hate him so much that they could not say a civil word to him.
01:40His brothers went to pasture their father's flock at Shechem.
01:43Then Israel said to Joseph,
01:45Are not your brothers with the flock at Shechem?
01:48Come, I'm going to send you to them.
01:51So Joseph went with his brothers and found them at Dothan.
01:55They saw him in the distance, and before he reached them,
01:59they made a plot among themselves to put him to death.
02:02Here comes the men of dreams, they said to one another.
02:06Come on, let us kill him and throw him into some well.
02:10We may say that a wild beast devoured him.
02:13Then we shall see what becomes of his dreams.
02:17But Reuben heard, and he saved him from their violence.
02:21We must not take his life, he said.
02:24Shed no blood, said Reuben to them.
02:27Throw him into the well in the wilderness,
02:29but do not take violent ends on him,
02:32intending to save him from them and restore him to his father.
02:36So when Joseph reached his brothers,
02:39they pulled off his coat,
02:41the coat with long sleeves that he was wearing,
02:44and catching hold of him,
02:46they threw him into the well,
02:48an empty well with no water in it.
02:51They then sat down to eat.
02:54Looking up, they saw a group of Ishmaelites
02:56who were coming from Gilead,
02:59their camels laden with gum,
03:01taganath, balsam, and resin,
03:04which they were taking down into Egypt.
03:08Then Judah said to his brothers,
03:10What do you gain by killing our brother
03:13and covering up his blood?
03:14Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites,
03:18but let us not do any harm to him.
03:20After all, he is our brother,
03:22and our own flesh.
03:25His brothers agreed.
03:27Now some Midianite merchants were passing,
03:30and they threw Joseph up from the well.
03:33They threw Joseph to the Ishmaelites
03:36for twenty silver pieces,
03:38and these men took Joseph to Egypt.
03:42The word of the Lord.
03:44Thanks be to God.
03:51Remember the marvels the Lord has done.
03:53Remember the marvels the Lord has done.
03:56God called down a famine on the land.
03:59He broke the staff that supported them.
04:01He had sent a man before them.
04:04Joseph sold as a slave.
04:06Remember the marvels the Lord has done.
04:09His feet were put in chains.
04:11His neck was bound with iron
04:13until what he said came to pass,
04:16and the Lord's word proved him true.
04:19Remember the marvels the Lord has done.
04:23Then his feet were put in chains.
04:25His neck was bound with iron
04:26until he said what he said came to pass,
04:30and the Lord's word proved him true.
04:33Remember the marvels the Lord has done.
04:36Then the king sent and released him.
04:38The ruler of the people set him free,
04:41making him master of his house
04:42and ruler of all he possessed.
04:45Remember the marvels the Lord has done.
04:52Praise and honor to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
04:55God loved the world so much.
04:57He gave us his only son
04:58that all who believe in him
05:00might have eternal life.
05:02Praise and honor to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
05:05The Lord be with you.
05:07A reading from the Holy Gospel
05:09according to Matthew.
05:10Glory to you, O Lord.
05:13Jesus said to the chief priests
05:14and the elders of the people,
05:16listen to another parable.
05:18There was a man, a landowner,
05:20who planted a vineyard.
05:21He fenced it round,
05:23dug a winepress in it,
05:25built a tower,
05:26and he leased it to tenants
05:27and went abroad.
05:29When vintage time drew near,
05:32he sent his servants to the tenants
05:34to collect his produce.
05:36But the tenants seized his servants,
05:39threshed one,
05:40killed another,
05:41and stoned a third.
05:43Next he sent some more servants,
05:45this time a larger number,
05:47and they dealt with them
05:48in the same way.
05:50Finally he sent his son to them.
05:52They will respect my son,
05:54he said.
05:55But when the tenants saw the son,
05:57they said to each other,
05:59this is the heir,
06:00come all let us kill him
06:02and take over his inheritance.
06:04So they seized him
06:05and threw him out of the vineyard
06:07and killed him.
06:08Now when the owner of that vineyard comes,
06:11what will he do to those tenants?
06:13They answered,
06:14we will bring those wretches
06:15to a wretched end
06:16and lease the vineyards
06:18to other tenants
06:19who will deliver the produce to him
06:21when the season arrives.
06:23Jesus said to them,
06:26have you never read in the scriptures?
06:28It was the stone rejected
06:30by the builders
06:31that became the keystone.
06:33This was the Lord's doing,
06:34and it is wonderful to see.
06:37I tell you then
06:39that the kingdom of God
06:40will be taken from you
06:41and given to a people
06:43who will produce his fruit.
06:44When they heard his parables,
06:46the chief priests and the scribes
06:47realized he was speaking about them,
06:49but though they would have liked
06:51to arrest him,
06:52they were afraid of the crowds
06:53who looked on him as a prophet.
06:57The Gospel of the Lord.
06:59Praise to you,
07:01Lord Jesus Christ.
07:11Jealousy,
07:14small-mindedness,
07:15hatred,
07:18stuff of the first reading.
07:21In the Gospel,
07:23Jesus speaking to the Jewish leaders
07:26who had moved away
07:28from listening
07:29to the Holy Spirit.
07:32they did not recognize
07:33the Son of God
07:34when he came among them.
07:37We've had the advantage
07:38of knowing the Gospel.
07:39We've had the advantage
07:41of the teachings of the Church.
07:42We've got so many things.
07:46Do we listen?
07:47Do we take heed?
07:49Do we appreciate
07:50the amazing gifts
07:51that we've been given?
07:53Lent is a time to wake up,
07:55to say thank you,
07:57to appreciate,
07:59and to say yes,
08:00your will be done.
08:23Blessed are you,
08:24Lord God of all creation,
08:26for to your goodness
08:27we have this bread to offer,
08:28which earth has given you
08:30and hence have made.
08:31It will become for us
08:32the bread of life.
08:34Blessed be God forever.
08:39Amen.
08:55Blessed are you,
08:56Lord God of all creation,
08:58for to your goodness
08:59we have this wine to offer.
09:01Fruit of divine work
09:02of human hands,
09:03it will become
09:04our spiritual drink.
09:06Blessed be God forever.
09:17Let us pray,
09:18brothers and sisters,
09:19that my sacrifice
09:20and yours
09:21may be acceptable
09:22to God,
09:23our Almighty Father.
09:24May the Lord
09:25accept his sacrifice
09:26from our hands
09:27for the praise
09:28and glory of God's name
09:30for our good
09:31and the good of God's
09:32Holy Church.
09:33May your merciful grace
09:35prepare your servants,
09:36O Lord,
09:37for the worthy celebration
09:38of these mysteries
09:39and lead them to it
09:41by a devout way of life.
09:43Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
09:44your Son,
09:45who lives and reigns with you
09:47in the Holy Spirit,
09:48God,
09:49forever and ever.
09:51Amen.
09:52The Lord be with you.
09:54Lift up your hearts.
09:56Let us give thanks
09:57to the Lord our God.
09:58It is truly right and just,
10:00our duty and our salvation,
10:02always and everywhere,
10:03to give you thanks,
10:04Lord,
10:04Holy Father,
10:05Almighty and eternal God.
10:07For you have given
10:08your children a sacred time
10:09for the renewing
10:11and purifying of their hearts
10:12that freed from
10:13disordered affections,
10:15they may so deal
10:16with the things
10:16of this passing world
10:18as to hold rather
10:19to the things
10:20that eternally endure.
10:21And so,
10:22with all the angels
10:23and saints,
10:24we praise you
10:24as without end
10:25we acclaim
10:27Holy,
10:28Holy,
10:28Holy Lord,
10:29God of hosts.
10:31Heaven and earth
10:31are full of your glory.
10:33Hosanna in the highest.
10:34Blessed is he
10:35who comes in the name
10:36of the Lord.
10:38Hosanna in the highest.
10:40You are indeed holy,
10:42O Lord,
10:42the fount of all holiness.
10:44Make holy,
10:44therefore,
10:45these gifts,
10:45we pray,
10:46by sending down
10:47your Spirit upon them
10:48like the new folk
10:49that they may become
10:51for us
10:51the body and blood
10:52of our Lord Jesus Christ.
10:54At the time
10:55he was betrayed,
10:56and ended willingly
10:57into his passion.
10:59He took bread
10:59and giving thanks
11:01broke it
11:01and gave it
11:02to his disciples
11:03saying,
11:04Take this all of you
11:05and eat of it
11:06for this is my body
11:08which will be given up
11:09for you.
11:16In a similar way
11:18when supper was ended
11:19he took the chalice
11:20and once more
11:21giving thanks
11:22he gave it
11:23to his disciples
11:24saying,
11:24Take this all of you
11:25and drink from it
11:26for this is the chalice
11:28of my blood
11:29the blood of the new
11:30and eternal covenant
11:32which will be pulled out
11:34for you
11:34and for many
11:35for the forgiveness
11:36of sins.
11:37Do this
11:38in memory of me.

11:48save us,
11:49Savior of the world
11:50for by your cross
11:52and resurrection
11:53you have set us free.
11:58Therefore,
11:58as we celebrate
11:59the memorial
12:00of his death
12:00and resurrection
12:01we offer you
12:02Lord the bread of life
12:03and the chalice of salvation
12:05giving thanks
12:06that you've held us
12:07worthy to be in your presence
12:09and ministered to you.
12:11Humbly we pray
12:12that by taking
12:13of the body
12:14and blood of Christ
12:15we may be gathered
12:16into one
