Quinquagesima Sunday Contemporary Rite p. 63 Penitential Rite, p. 66 Entrance Hymn V. Grant me justice, Lord! I have walked without blame. In the Lord I have trusted; I have not faltered. R. Test me, Lord, and try me; search my heart and mind. Your love is before my eyes; I walk guided by Your faithfulness. V. Glory be... R. As it was A Reading from the Book of Sirach. Sir 27:5-8 When a sieve is shaken, the husks appear; so do one s faults when one speaks. As the test of what the potter molds in the furnace, so in tribulation is the rest of the just. The fruit of a tree shows the care it has had; so too does one s speech disclose the bent of one s mind. Praise no one before he speaks, for it is then that people are tested. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. St. Cunegunda March 3 The father of St. Cunegundes was Sigfrid, first Count of Luxemburg. After a pious education, she was married to St. Henry, Duke of Bavaria, who, upon the death of Emperor Otho III, was chosen King of the Romans. St. Cunegundes was crowned at Paderborn in 1002. In 1014 she went with her husband to Rome and became Empress, receiving together with him the imperial crown from the hands Pope Benedict VIII. Though married, she lived in continence, for, with her husband's consent, she had made a vow of virginity before marriage. Calumniators accused her of scandalous conduct, but her innocence was signally vindicated by Divine Providence, as she walked over pieces of flaming irons without injury, to the great joy of the Emperor. Her husband, Henry II, died in 1024, leaving his widow comparatively poor, for she had given away nearly all her wealth in charitable works. In 1025, on the anniversary of his death, and on the occasion of the dedication of a monastery which she had built for Benedictine nuns at Kaffungen, she clothed herself with a poor habit, adopted the veil, which she received from the hands of the Bishop, and entered that same monastery. Her occupations consisted in prayer, reading, and manual labor, and thus she spent the last fifteen years of her life. She died in 1040, and her body was carried to Bamberg, where it was laid near that of her husband, St. Henry. Psalm Lord, it is good to give thanks to You. (Psalm 92) A reading from the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians. 1 Cor 15:54-58 Brothers and sisters: When this which is corruptible clothes itself with incorruptibility, and this which is mortal clothes itself with immortality, then the word that is written shall come about: Death is swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, steadfast, always devoted to the work of the Lord, Since 2002 Personal Hygiene Meals Shopping Light Housekeeping Barb Wilson 313-506-2333 The number has been corrected.

This is the Word of the Lord Thanks be to God Gospel Acclamation V. Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory. R. Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory. V. The honesty of the upright guides them; the faithless are ruined by their duplicity. R. Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory. A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke. Lk 6:39-45 Jesus told His disciples a parable, Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit? No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher. Why do you notice a splinter in your brother s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own? How can you say to your brother, Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye, when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother s eye. A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not pick figs from thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles. A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks. This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise be to You, Jesus Christ. Homemade Fresh & Smoked Kielbasa Joyview Meat Market, Inc.
