LITURGY OF THE WORD

FIRST READING:
ACTS 2:1-11

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled,

they were all in one place together.
And suddenly there came from the sky
a noise like a strong driving wind,
and it filled the entire house in which they were.
Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire,
which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
Campus Ministry MACULATE HEART OF MARY
ACADEMY KITCHARAO, INC. 3
 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
and began to speak in different tongues,
as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven
staying in Jerusalem.
At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd,
but they were confused
because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
They were astounded, and in amazement they asked,
"Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?
Then how does each of us hear them in his native language?
We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites,
inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia,
Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia,
Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene,
as well as travelers from Rome,
both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs,
yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues
of the mighty acts of God."

The Word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God

RESPONSORIAL PSALM:
Psalm 104: 1, 24, 29-30,31,34
Psalm for the Holy Spirit
R:
Lord, send out Your Spirit and renew the face of the
earth.
1. Bless the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, you are great indeed!
How manifold are you works, O Lord!
The earth is full of your creatures. R:
2. May the glory of the Lord endure forever,
May the Lord be glad in his works!
Pleasing to Him be my theme,
I will be glad in the Lord. R:
3. If you take away their breath, they perish
And return to their dust.
When you send forth your spirit they created,
And you renew the face of the earth. R:

SECOND READING:
1 C O R 1 2 : 3 B- 7 , 1 2 - 1 3

A reading from the letter of Paul to the Corinthians.

Brothers and sisters:

No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy
Spirit.
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same
Spirit;
there are different forms of service but the same Lord;
there are different workings but the same God
who produces all of them in everyone.
To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit
is given for some benefit.
As a body is one though it has many parts,
and all the parts of the body, though many, are one
body,
so also Christ.
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body,
whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons,
and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.

The Word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God.

Comentator: Please all stand.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION : Alleluia

Gospel
JN 20:19-23

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John.

On the evening of that first day of the week,

when the doors were locked, where the disciples were,
for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in their midst
and said to them, "Peace be with you."
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
Campus Ministry MACULATE HEART OF MARY
ACADEMY KITCHARAO, INC. 5
 The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, so I send you."
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to
them,
"Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain are retained."

The Gospel of the Lord.

All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

PROFESSION OF FAITH:
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and
earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
At the words that follow, up to and including the Virgin Mary, all bow.
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin
Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and
was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose
again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated
at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he
will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the

saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.

trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us

Then, if appropriate, the Deacon, or the Priest, adds:

LAMB OF GOD
Then he takes the host, breaks it over the paten, and places a small piece in the chalice, saying quietly:
Priest : May this mingling of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
bring eternal life to us who receive it.
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 people, says aloud:
Priest : 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.

say the word
and my soul shall be healed.

Then, standing at the altar or at the chair and facing the people, with hands joined, the Priest says:
