Kids return to Mass during the offertory. HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS WEEKEND. Here are a few simple things you can do to get the most out of today. First: Read the readings on pages two and three. Read them once to merely get familiar with the text. Read them again, this time a little slower, and find word or phrase that tugs at your heart when you read. Ask yourself: What could God be saying to me through that word or phrase? Second: Ask yourself: What do I need from God this weekend? What do I need God to say to me today? Third: Listen attentively during the Readings and the homily. After the homily we ll stand for the Creed and the Prayers of the Faithful. Then, we ll sit for the offertory. When we sit and offer our tithing, ask yourself: What is the one thing God said to me during the Readings or the homily? Fourth: Once you receive the Eucharist return to your seat and pray. Forget about everything else. Ask God to speak to you. Invite Him into your heart. Ask Jesus to fill your heart with a deep sense of His personal love for you.

2 THE LITURGY OF THE WORD 15TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME FIRST READING Amos 7:12-15 Amaziah, priest of Bethel, said to Amos, Off with you, visionary, flee to the land of Judah! There earn your bread by prophesying, but never again prophesy in Bethel; for it is the king s sanctuary and a royal temple. Amos answered Amaziah, I was no prophet, nor have I belonged to a company of prophets; I was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamores. The LORD took me from following the flock, and said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel. The Word of the Lord.. Thanks be to God Responsorial Psalm Psalm 85: 9-10, 11-12, Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation. I will hear what God proclaims; the LORD for he proclaims peace. Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him, glory dwelling in our land. Kindness and truth shall meet; justice and peace shall kiss. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and justice shall look down from heaven. The LORD himself will give his benefits; our land shall yield its increase. Justice shall walk before him, and prepare the way of his steps. SECOND READING Ephesians 1: 3-14 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him. In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will, for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved. In him we have redemption by his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, in accord with the riches of his grace that he lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight, he has made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth. [In him we were also chosen, destined in accord with the purpose of the One who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will, so that we might exist for the praise of his glory, we who first hoped in Christ. In him you also, who have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised holy Spirit, which is the first installment of our inheritance toward redemption as God s possession, to the praise of his glory.] The Word of the Lord.. Thanks be to God 2

3 GOSPEL Mark 6:7-13 Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick no food, no sack, no money in their belts. They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic. He said to them, Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave. Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, leave there and shake the dust off your feet in testimony against them. So they went off and preached repentance. The Twelve drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them. The Gospel of the Lord.. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ. 3
