in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and
in what I have failed to do,
And, striking their breast, continue:

all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord, our God.

The Liturgy of the Word
You can follow the Readings also in other languages:
First Reading
2 Kings 5:14-17
Naaman went down and plunged into the Jordan seven times
at the word of Elisha, the man of God.
His flesh became again like the flesh of a little child,
and he was clean of his leprosy.
Naaman returned with his whole retinue to the man of God.
On his arrival he stood before Elisha and said,
"Now I know that there is no God in all the earth,
except in Israel.
Please accept a gift from your servant."
Elisha replied, "As the LORD lives whom I serve, I will not take it;"
and despite Naaman's urging, he still refused.
Naaman said: "If you will not accept,
please let me, your servant, have two mule-loads of earth,
for I will no longer offer holocaust or sacrifice
to any other god except to the LORD."
- The word of the Lord.
- Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 98:1, 2-3, 3-4
R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done wondrous deeds;
his right hand has won victory for him,
his holy arm.
R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
The LORD has made his salvation known:
in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.

Second Reading
2 Timothy 2:8-13
Beloved:
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David:
such is my gospel, for which I am suffering,
even to the point of chains, like a criminal.
But the word of God is not chained.
Therefore, I bear with everything for the sake of those who are chosen,
so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus,
together with eternal glory.
This saying is trustworthy:
If we have died with him
we shall also live with him;
if we persevere
we shall also reign with him.
But if we deny him
he will deny us.
If we are unfaithful
he remains faithful,
for he cannot deny himself.
- The word of the Lord.
- Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia (Cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:18)
R. Alleluia, Alleluia

for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus

Gospel
Luke 17:11-19
- The Lord be with you.
- And with your spirit.
- A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
- Glory to you, O Lord.
As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem,
he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.
They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, saying,
"Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!"
And when he saw them, he said,
"Go show yourselves to the priests."
As they were going they were cleansed.
And one of them, realizing he had been healed,
returned, glorifying God in a loud voice;
and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him.
He was a Samaritan.
Jesus said in reply,
"Ten were cleansed, were they not?
Where are the other nine?
Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?"
Then he said to him, "Stand up and go;
your faith has saved you."
- The Gospel of the Lord.
- Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Creed
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,
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.
Prayer of the Faithful
Let us humbly bring our prayers to the Lord who has given us life and who is the true nourishment for all his creation. Let us pray together to the Lord saying: Lord hear our prayer.
R. Lord, hear our prayer.
1.In today’s gospel Jesus reminds us of the importance of gratitude and so we thank the Father who gives us life, the Son for his great love and example, and the Holy Spirit for the wisdom and enlightenment bestowed on us in our daily lives.
We pray to the Lord. R. Lord, hear our prayer
2. We thank God, Our Father, for the greatest gift which he has bestowed on us, his own Son, Jesus Christ, in the Eucharist. We pray that we, like the cured leper, will never take this great gift for granted and never cease to thank him for his enormous generosity.
We pray to the Lord. R. Lord, hear our prayer
3. Today we are reminded that Jesus was always looking out for those regarded as outcasts in society – sinners, tax collectors, the leper. We pray for a greater understanding and care in our society for today’s outcasts, the poor, the addicted, the homeless and the refugee.
We pray to the Lord. R. Lord, hear our prayer
4. We pray for peace in our world. May all leaders tend to the suffering of their people. May all conflict find resolution and may violence end. May hope become food for all nations.
We pray to the Lord. R. Lord, hear our prayer
5. We bow our heads and remember in silence our own personal intentions and the intentions of those who have asked for our prayers
We pray to the Lord. R. Lord, hear our prayer
Father, Lord of Life, we thank you for your goodness and generosity. May we, in our own lives, reflect something of that same goodness to others. We make these prayers through Jesus Christ, our Lord
- Amen.

The Communion Rite
- At the Saviour’s command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
OR
Pater noster, qui es in cælis:
sanctificétur nomen tuum;
advéniat regnum tuum;
fiat volúntas tua,
sicut in cælo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie;
et dimítte nobis débita nostra,
sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris;
et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem;
sed líbera nos a malo.
- 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 Savior, Jesus Christ.
- For the kingdom,
the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
(Quia tuum est regnum,
et potéstas, et glória
in sǽcula.)
- 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.
- The peace of the Lord be with you always. (Pax Dómini sit semper vobíscum.)
- And with your spirit. (Et cum spíritu tuo.)
Then, if appropriate, the Deacon, or the Priest, adds:
Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
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.
