12, THURS SEPT. 2013 The most Holy Name of Mary (Opt. Mem) (Green) The Mysteries of Light FIRST READING Col. 3:12-17 A reading from the Letter of saint Paul to the colossians "Put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." Brethren: Clothe yourselves like the elect of God: holy and beloved, with hearts of mercy, kindness, humility, modesty, and patience. Support one another, and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive one another. For just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also must you do. And above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ lift up your hearts. For in this peace, you have been called, as one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ live in you in abundance, with all wisdom, teaching and correcting one another, with psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing to God with the grace in your hearts. Let everything whatsoever that you do, whether in word or in deed, be done all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through him. V/ The word of the Lord. R/ Thanks be to God. RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 150:1b-2.3-4.5_6 (R.6) R/R. Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! 1. Praise God in his holy place; praise him in his mighty firmament Praise him for his powerful deeds; praise him his boundless grandeur. R. 2. O praise him with sound of trumpet; praise him with lute and harp. Praise him with timbrel and dance; praise him with strings and pipes. R. 3. O praise him wih resounding cymbals; praise him with clashing of cymbals. Let everything that breathless praise the LORD. R GOSPEL ACCLAMATION. Luke 4:12 Alleluia, alleluia! If we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. Alleluia! GOSPEL Luke 6:27-38 A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke "Be merciful, even as your father is merciful." At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, "I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who slander you. And to him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your coat, do not withhold even your tunic. But distribute to all who ask of you. And do not ask again of him who takes away what is yours. And exactly as you would want people to treat you, treat them also the same. And if you love those who love you, what credit is due to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you will do good to those who do good to you, what credit is due to you? Indeed, even sinners behave this way. And if you will loan to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is due to you? For even sinners lend to sinners, in order to receive the same in return. So truly, love your enemies. Do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return. And then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and to the wicked. Therefore, be merciful, just as your Father is also merciful. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you: a good measure, pressed down and shaken together and overflowing, they will place upon your lap. Certainly, the same measure that you use to measure out, will be used to measure back to you again. V/ The Gospel of the Lord. R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
