The part of the Mass that concluded with the Collect is called
the Introductory Rite. Now we
begin the second part of our
Mass, the Liturgy of the Word. This is the Word
of God found in Sacred Scriptures, the Old and the
New Testaments. Through His Word, God communicates with us and wants us to have a personal
relationship with Him. Because these are messages
from God handed down to man, God wants us to
listen to these readings with attention and devotion. The Second Vatican Council states that when
the Scriptures are proclaimed, Christ himself is
speaking to us.
The first reading is always from the Old Testament except during Easter when it is from the
New Testament. God speaks to us in the First
Reading, and thereafter, we respond to Him with a
Responsorial Psalm. As we are responding directly to Gods Word, the Psalm is called the
Responsorial Psalm. The cantor leads the congregation in singing the response, and the entire
congregation should repeat the response with the
cantor at the beginning and at the end of each
verse of the Psalm. The Second Reading is an excerpt from a New Testament letter by Paul or another writer, which was intended to give guidance
and comfort to an individual or one of the early
churches.
We stand for the Gospel Acclamation which is an
introduction to the Gospel reading. The congrega-

O Jesus,
I pray for your faithful and fervent priests;
For your unfaithful and tepid priests;
For your priests laboring at home or
Abroad in distant mission fields.
For your tempted priests;
For your lonely and desolate priests;
For your young priests; For your dying priests;
For the souls of your priests in Purgatory.
But above all, I recommend to you
The priests dearest to me;
The priest who baptized me;
The priests who absolved me from my sins;
The priests at whose Masses
I assisted and who gave me
Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
The priests who taught and instructed me;
All the priests to whom I am indebted
in any other way
(especially...)
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
And bless them abundantly
in time and in Eternity,
Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven,
grant me the grace to appreciate the
dignity which you have conferred on me.
Let me realize that not even the Angels
have been blessed with such a privilege
to share in your creative miracle
and bring new Saints to heaven.
Make me a good mother to all my
children after the example of Mary,
the Mother of your Son.
Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary
I ask your continued blessings on my family.
Let us all be dedicated to your service
on earth and attain the eternal happiness
of your kingdom in heaven.
