6 Opening Prayer Loving God, You called Saint Katharina to serve you in a life of poverty and humility and to show your love through service to the poor, the sick and the children. By the help of her prayers, grant that we may be strengthened in faith in order to dedicate ourselves to works of love. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. 4

7 First Reading Dt 6: 2-6 Moses spoke to the people, saying: Fear the LORD, your God, and keep, throughout the days of your lives, all his statutes and commandments which I enjoin on you, and thus have long life. Hear then, Israel, and be careful to observe them, that you may grow and prosper the more, in keeping with the promise of the LORD, the God of your fathers, to give you a land flowing with milk and honey. Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone! Therefore, you shall love the LORD, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. Take to heart these words which I enjoin on you today. The Word of the Lord. Response: Thanks be to God. Psalm I Love You, Lord, My Strength Second Reading Heb 7: Brothers and sisters: The levitical priests were many because they were prevented by death from remaining in office, but Jesus, because he remains forever, has a priesthood that does not pass away. Therefore, he is always able to save those who approach God through him, since he lives forever to make intercession for them. It was fitting that we should have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, higher than the heavens. He has no need, as did the high priests, to offer sacrifice day after day, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did that once for all when he offered himself. For the law appoints men subject to weakness to be high priests, but the word of the oath, which was taken after the law, appoints a son, who has been made perfect forever. The Word of the Lord. Response: Thanks be to God. 5

8 Gospel Acclamation Festival Alleluia Saint Peter s Square on the day of the canonization 6

9 Gospel Mk 12: 28b-34 One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments? Jesus replied, The first is this: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these. The scribe said to him, Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, He is One and there is no other than he. And to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered with understanding, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared to ask him any more questions. The Gospel of the Lord. Response: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Homily Bishop Kevin Rhoades Looking out over Assisi Srs. Gabriela Ramon, PHJC (left) and Betty Alexander, PHJC (right). Sr. Mary Ann Dettmer, PHJC 7
