FIRST READING

A reading from the Book of Genesis (GN. 2:18-24)


Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I
will make him a helper suitable for him.” Out of the ground the
LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky,
and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and
whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. The
man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to
every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper
suitable for him. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon
the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the
flesh at that place. The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib
which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The
man said, “This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She
shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” For this
reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to
his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

The Word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God.

5 Liturgy
RESPONSORIAL PSALM (PS 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9)

R. I will bless the Lord the all times.


I will bless the LORD at all times;
his praise shall be ever in my mouth.
Let my soul glory in the LORD;
the lowly will hear me and be glad.
R. I will bless the Lord the all times.
Glorify the LORD with me,
let us together extol his name.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
R. I will bless the Lord the all times.
Look to him that you may be radiant with joy,
and your faces may not blush with shame.
When the poor one called out, the LORD heard,
and from all his distress he saved him.
R. I will bless the Lord the all times.
The angel of the LORD encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
Taste and see how good the LORD is;
blessed the man who takes refuge in him.
R. I will bless the Lord the all times.

6 Liturgy
SECOND READING
A reading from the Second Letter of Paul to Timothy (2 TM 4:6-8, 17-18)
If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own
Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us
everything else along with him? Who will bring a charge against
God’s chosen ones? It is God who acquits us. Who will condemn? It is
Christ [Jesus] who died, rather, was raised, who also is at the right
hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us.

What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or


distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the
sword? No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through
him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor
angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor
powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to
separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God.

Commentator: Let us all stand to honor the Holy Gospel.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To be read by the Lector:
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church,
and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PRESIDER: (says quietly) Cleanse my heart and my lips, Almighty God, that May worthily proclaim your Holy
Gospel.

7 Liturgy
PRESIDER: The Lord be with you.
All: And with your spirit.
PRESIDER: A reading from the holy Gospel
according to Matthew (MT 16:13-19)
All: Glory to you, O Lord.
.

When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea


Philippi
he asked his disciples,
"Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, others
Elijah,
still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter said in reply,
"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you,
Simon son of Jonah.
For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you,
but my heavenly Father.

8 Liturgy
And so I say to you, you are Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my Church,
and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail
against it.
I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven.
Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven;
and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed
in heaven."

The Gospel of the Lord

All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

that overshadows journeyers in times of weariness in a dessert,
so does God’s love comfort us in times of trials. Its whiteness
reflects the purity and simplicity of God’s presence among us.

Commentator: Cord sponsors, please come forward.


The cord is the symbol of God’s faithfulness to his Church.

God.

21 Liturgy
All : It is right and just.

PRESIDER: It is truly right and just, our duty


and our salvation, always and
everywhere to give you thanks, Lord,
Holy Father, almighty and eternal
God.

For you willed that the human race,


created by the gift of goodness,

you might bestow a true image of
your love.

For those you created out of charity


you call to the law of charity without
ceasing and grant them a share in your
eternal charity.

22 Liturgy
And so, the Sacrament of holy
Matrimony, as the abiding of your
own love, consecrates of man and
woman, through Christ our Lord.

Through him, with the Angels and all


the Saints, we sing the hymn of your
praise, as without end we acclaim:
Sanctus: Holy, holy, holy (sung)

Commentator: Let us all kneel.

PRESIDER: You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the


fount of all holiness.

Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we


pray, by sending down your Spirit
upon them like the dewfall,

23 Liturgy
So that they may become for us the
Body and Blood of our Lord, Jesus
Christ.

At the time he was betrayed and


entered willingly into his Passion, he
took bread and, giving thanks, broke
it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU,
AND EAT OF IT, FOR THIS
IS MY BODY, WHICH WILL
BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
In a similar way, when supper was
ended, he took the chalice and, once
more giving thanks, he gave it to his
disciples, saying:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU,
AND DRINK FROM IT, FOR
THIS IS THE CHALICE OF
MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD

you have held us worthy to be in your
presence and minister to you.

25 Liturgy
Humbly we pray that, partaking of the
Body and Blood of Christ, we may be
gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.

Remember, Lord, your Church, spread


throughout the world, and bring her to the
fullness of charity, together with Francis
our Pope, Mel Rey our Bishop, Emilio
our Bishop Emeritus, and all the
clergy.
Remember also our brothers and
sisters who have fallen asleep in the
hope of the resurrection, and all who
have died in your mercy: welcome
them into the light of your face. Have
mercy on us all, we pray, that with the
Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
with Saint Joseph her most chaste
spouse, with the blessed Apostles,

26 Liturgy
and all the Saints who have pleased
you throughout the ages, we may
merit to be coheirs to eternal life, and
may praise and glorify you through
your Son, Jesus Christ.

all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever.
