in the shadow of your wings protect me.

I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
(strike their breast)
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
P.: May almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins,
and bring us to everlasting life.
R.: Amen.

grant that we may always conform our will to yours
and serve your majesty in sincerity of heart.

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
R.: Amen.

LITURGY OF THE WORD
[SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]FIRST READING[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The mystery of Christ has been revealed now: that the Gentiles are coheirs of the Promise[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians 3:2-12[/SIZE]
Brothers and sisters:
You have heard of the stewardship of Gods grace
that was given to me for your benefit,
namely, that the mystery was made known to me by revelation,
as I have written briefly earlier.
When you read this
you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
which was not made known to human beings in other generations
as it has now been revealed
to his holy Apostles and prophets by the Spirit,
that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same Body,
and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel. Of this I became a minister by the gift of Gods grace
that was granted me in accord with the exercise of his power.
To me, the very least of all the holy ones, this grace was given,
to preach to the Gentiles the inscrutable riches of Christ,
and to bring to light for all what is the plan of the mystery
hidden from ages past in God who created all things,
so that the manifold wisdom of God
might now be made known through the Church
to the principalities and authorities in the heavens.
This was according to the eternal purpose
that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
in whom we have boldness of speech
and confidence of access through faith in him.
L.: The Word of the Lord.
R.: Thanks be to God.
