Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
FIRST READING 5:14-17
A reading from the second book of
the Kings
Naaman the leper went down and
immersed himself seven times in the
Jordan, as Elisha had told him to do.
And his flesh became clean once
more like the flesh of a little child.
Returning to Elisha with his whole
escort, he went in and stood before
him. “Now I know,” he said, “that there
is no God in all the earth except in
Israel. Now, please, accept a present
from your servant.” But Elisha replied,
“As the Lord lives, whom I serve, I will
accept nothing.” Naaman pressed him
to accept, but he refused. Then
Naaman said, “Since your answer is
“No’, allow your servant to be given as
much earth as two mules may carry,
because your servant will no longer
offer holocaust or sacrifice to any god
except the Lord.”
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

PROFESSION OF FAITH
I 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 salvation
he came down from heaven,
(All bow during the next three lines)
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 day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the
Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and 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 sins
and I look forward to the resurrection
of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

Raising the host, the priest says:
Blessed are you, Lord, God of all
creation, for through your goodness
we have received the bread we offer
you: fruit of the earth and work of
human hands,
it will become for us the bread of life.
Blessed be God for ever.
The priest pours wine and a little water
into the chalice, saying quietly:
By the mystery of this water and wine
may we come to share in the divinity
of Christ,
who humbled himself to share in our
humanity.
Raising the chalice, the priest says:
Blessed are you, Lord, God of all

Blessed be God for ever.
Bowing the priest says quietly:
With humble spirit and contrite heart
may we be accepted by you, O Lord,
and may our sacrifice in your sight this
day be pleasing to you, O Lord.
Then the priest washes his hands, saying quietly:
Wash me, O Lord, from my iniquity;

Facing the people the priest says:
Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters),

GOSPEL 17:11-19
The Lord be with you.

A reading from the holy
Gospel according to Luke.
Glory to you, O Lord.
On the way to Jerusalem Jesus
travelled along the border between
Samaria and Galilee. As he entered
one of the villages, ten lepers came to
meet him. They stood some way off
and called to him, “Jesus! Master!
Take pity on us.” When he saw them
he said, “Go and show yourselves to
SECOND READING 2:8-13
A reading from the second letter of
St. Paul to Timothy
Remember the Good News that I
carry, ‘Jesus Christ risen from the
dead, sprung from the race of David;’
it is on account of this that I have my
own hardships to bear, even to being
chained l ike a criminal but they
cannot chain up God’s news. So I
bear it all for the sake of those who
are chosen, so that in the end they
may have the salvation that is in
Christ Jesus and the eternal glory that
comes with it.
Here is a saying that you can rely on:
If we have died with him, then we shall
live with him.
If we hold firm, then we shall reign
with him.
If we disown him, then he will disown
us.
We may be unfaithful, but he is always
faithful,
for he cannot disown his own self.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

away they were cleansed. Finding
himself cured, one of them turned
back praising God at the top of his
voice and threw himself at the feet of
Jesus and thanked him. The man was
a Samaritan. This made Jesus say,
“Were not all ten made clean? The
other nine, where are they? It seems
that no one has come back to give
praise to God, except this foreigner.”
And he said to the man, “Stand up
and go on your way. Your faith has
saved you.”

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II
PREFACE V Ordinary Time
The Lord be with you.
And with your Spirit.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right and just.
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 laid the foundations of the
world and have arranged the changing
of times and seasons;
you formed man in your own image
and set humanity over the whole world
in all its wonder,
to rule in your name over all you have
made and for ever praise you in your
mighty works, through Christ our Lord.
And so, with all the Angels, we praise
you, as in joyful celebration we
acclaim:
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name
of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
The mystery of faith
Save us, Saviour of the world,
for by your Cross and Resurrection
you have set us free.
Then the Priest, with hands extended, says:
Therefore, as we celebrate the
memorial of his Death and
Resurrection, we offer you, Lord,
the Bread of life and the Chalice of
salvation, giving thanks that you have
held us worthy to be in your presence
and minister to you.
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,
s
:
May the Lord accept the sacrifice at
your hands
for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good, and the good of all
his holy Church.
At the Saviour’s command
and formed by divine teaching,
we dare to say:
Our Father, who art in heaven . . .
Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil,
graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the help of your mercy,
we may be always free from sin
and safe from all distress,
as we await the blessed hope
and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus
Christ.
For the kingdom, the power and the
glory are yours, now and for ever.
Lord Jesus Christ,
who said to your Apostles:
Peace I leave you, my peace I give
you, look not on our sins,
but on the faith of your Church,
and graciously grant her peace and
unity in accordance with your will.
Who live and reign for ever and ever.
Amen.
Communion Rite
You are indeed Holy, O Lord,
the fount of all holiness.
The Priest joins his hands and, holding them
extended over the offerings, says:
Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we
pray, by sending down your Spirit
upon them like the dewfall,
so that they may become for us
the Body X and Blood of our Lord,
Jesus Christ.
At the time he was betrayed
and entered willingly into his Passion,
spread throughout the world,
and bring her to the fullness of charity,
together with Leo our Pope,
N. our Bishop, his assistant Bishop(s),
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 blessed Joseph
her Spouse, with the blessed
Apostles, 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.
The Priest takes the chalice and the paten
with the host and, elevating both, he says:
Through him, and with him, and in
him,
O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honour is yours,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
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 OF THE NEW AND
ETERNAL COVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR
YOU AND FOR MANY
FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.

Lord Jesus Christ, our risen Saviour,
if we die with you, then we shall live
with you, if we hold firm, then we shall
reign with you, if we disown you, then
you will disown us.
We may be unfaithful, but you are
always faithful,
for you cannot disown your own self.
Lord, more than Namaan we should
offer you gifts of thanks,
more than the leper you cured we
should return to give praise to God.
We should always thank him
for the great gifts he has given us;
always praise him for what he has
done for us and will do for us,
through you his Son, for all eternity.
COMMUNION ANTIPHON Cf. Ps 33: 11
The rich suffer want and go hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack
no blessing.
May the Body of Christ
keep me safe for eternal life.
The Priest reverently consumes the Body of
Christ.
Then he takes the chalice and says quietly:
May the Blood of Christ
keep me safe for eternal life.
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.

Now thank we all our God.
With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done,
In whom this world rejoices,
Who from our mother’s arms,
Has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.
All praise and thanks to God
the Father now be given,
the Son and him who reigns
with them in highest heaven,
the one eternal God,
whom earth and heav’n adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.
The Priest raises a host slightly and shows it
to each of the communicants, saying:
The Body of Christ.
Amen.
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
We entreat your majesty most humbly,
O Lord,
that, as you feed us with the
nourishment
which comes from the most holy Body
and Blood of your Son,
so you may make us sharers of his
divine nature.
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.

The peace of the Lord be with you
always.
And with your Spirit.
The priest may add these or similar words.
Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
The priest places a small piece of the host in
the chalice saying quietly:
May this mingling of the body and
blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
bring eternal life to us who receive it.
Meanwhile the people sing or say:
Lamb of God, you take away the
sins of the world:
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the
sins of the world:
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the
sins of the world:
grant us peace.
The priest says quietly:
May the receiving of your Body and
Blood, Lord Jesus Christ,
not bring me to judgment and
condemnation,
but through your loving mercy
be for me protection in mind and body,
and a healing remedy.
Raising the host the priest says:
Behold the Lamb of God,
behold him who takes away the sins of
the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper
of the Lamb.
And together with the people he says once:
Lord, I am not worthy
that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word
and my soul shall be healed.
Oh, the love of my Lord is the
essence
of all that I love here on earth.
All the beauty I see he has given to
me and his giving is gentle as
silence.
Every day, every hour, every moment
have been blessed by the strength of
his love.
At the turn of each tide he is there at
my side,
and his touch is as gentle as silence.
There’ve been times when I’ve turned
from his presence,
and I’ve walked other paths, other
ways.
But I’ve called on his name in the
dark of my shame,
and his mercy was gentle as silence.
