Gospel Your faith has saved you (Mark 5:21-43 [21-24, 35b-43]). READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Hos 2:16, 17b-18, 21-22; Ps 145:2-9; Mt 9:18-26 Tuesday: Hos 8:4-7, 11-13; Ps 115:3-10; Mt 9:32-38 Wednesday: Hos 10:1-3, 7-8, 12; Ps 105:2-7; Mt 10:1-7 Thursday: Hos 11:1-4, 8c-9; Ps 80:2ac, 3b, 15-16; Mt 10:7-15 Friday: Hos 14:2-10; Ps 51:3-4, 8-9, 12-14, 17; Mt 10:16-23 Saturday: Is 6:1-8; Ps 93:1-2, 5; Mt 10:24-33 Sunday: Am 7:12-15; Ps 85:9-14; Eph 1:3-14 [3-10]; Mk 6:7-13 Don t Be Late for Mass! As per a recommendation from the Pope which appeared in last week s Tablet: it is suggested that we not be late for Mass. The introductory rites matter. The words and gestures that open the celebration help the faithful come together as one and prepare them to listen to the Word of God and celebrate the Eucharist worthily. It is during the introductory rites that we begin to adore God as a community and to prepare the heart for this celebration with the community. Understanding these holy signs is necessary in order to fully experience the Mass and savor all of its beauty, the Pope said. The gestures that accompany the Mass risk going unnoticed, but they are very significant because they express from the start that the Mass is an encounter of love with Christ, who offers his body on the cross, becoming victim and priest. After the entrance, the celebrant bows and kisses the altar as an expression of veneration because the altar is a symbol of Christ.
