Preface Throughout all generations, the God Whom we worship has given us a model of self-emptying love that requires a response of nothing less than our highest and best: in our prayer, in our ritual, in our song, and in our lives. The Book of Sacred Liturgy: Daily (BSL Daily) provides the English-speaking membership of the Roman Catholic Church with a permanent, dignified and comprehensive set of two pew books (Years I and II) of ritual, prayer and music. Each alternating year of the daily Lectionary cycle, the BSL brings together under one cover the components of Sacred Liturgy that are necessary for the faithful to fully and actively participate in the Eucharistic life of the Church, representing an historical movement to higher ground in the ongoing work of Liturgical Reform. Liturgists remind us: Lex credendi, lex orandi; lex orandi, lex credendi. We express our faith in our prayer; our prayer informs and forms our faith. Codifying the prayers, orders and rituals of our Eucharistic tradition constructs and provides an inestimable treasure that is at once accessible to the faithful. Though there are compelling arguments for simply hearing and receiving Word and ritual, there is tremendous merit in providing printed texts of prayer and Scripture. Scientific and educational data has revealed that viewing written texts significantly increases both comprehension and retention. And, although many parishes work heroically to improve sound systems, train lectors and cantors, provide listening aids to the hearing impaired, improve enunciation in leadership of prayer, and compensate for linguistic and cultural differences, there will always be a need for well-ordered and complete texts to aid in the participation of the faithful. The Book of Sacred Liturgy: Daily is an instrument of unity and clarity for parishes in the United States. In addition to the prayers and orders of Eucharist, BSL Daily I includes the Order of Mass, the Lectionary Readings for Year I with the Proper of Saints, the Psalm, the Verse before the Gospel, and the Entrance and Communion antiphons. BSL Daily II includes all of the same components, replacing Year I Lectionary Readings with Year II Lectionary Readings. Each BSL Daily includes 280 time-honored hymns and songs in both English and Latin. This accomplishes three objectives: it renders the books eminently easier to follow; it keeps the weight and size of the books more manageable; and it doubles the useful life of the books. The BSL affords the faithful dignified and permanent access to the prayers, rites and music of Catholic Sacred Liturgy. Lastly, the BSL honors the hermeneutic of continuity by including the rich deposit of Catholic prayers and devotions. Planning, compiling and editing the Book of Sacred Liturgy: Daily required the gifts, insights and dedication of many extraordinarily talented contributors. Theologians, presbyters, liturgists, musicians and scholars each made unique offerings to this monumental work. Most importantly, at the heart of this work lives a simple vision: a faithful, complete, refined, cost-effective, useful Catholic Mass book of prayer, ritual and music. May the Book of Sacred Liturgy: Daily bless you and your parish; together, may we compromise nothing in our praise of the God Who loves us without compromise. Vincent Ambrosetti Publisher, ILP

6 Guidelines for the Reception of Communion FOR CATHOLICS As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of grave sin and normally should have fasted for one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental confession except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for confession. In this case, the person is to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention of confessing as soon as possible (canon 916). A frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all. FOR OUR FELLOW CHRISTIANS We welcome our fellow Christians to this celebration of the Eucharist as our brothers and sisters. We pray that our common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit in this Eucharist will draw us closer to one another and begin to dispel the sad divisions which separate us. We pray that these will lessen and finally disappear, in keeping with Christ s prayer for us that they may all be one (Jn 17:21). Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of the reality of the oneness of faith, life, and worship, members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully united are ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. Eucharistic sharing in exceptional circumstances by other Christians requires permission according to the directives of the diocesan bishop and the provisions of canon law (canon 844 4). Members of the Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, and the Polish National Catholic Church are urged to respect the discipline of their own Churches. According to Roman Catholic discipline, the Code of Canon Law does not object to the reception of Communion by Christians of these Churches (canon 844 3). sample FOR THOSE NOT RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayerful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another. FOR NON-CHRISTIANS We also welcome to this celebration those who do not share our faith in Jesus Christ. While we cannot admit them to Holy Communion, we ask them to offer their prayers for the peace and the unity of the human family. 1996, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops

Thirty-First Week in Ordinary Time, Year 1: Thursday 507 Thursday ENTRANCE ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 38 (37):22 23 Forsake me not, O Lord, my God; be not far from me! Make haste and come to my help, O Lord, my strong salvation! FIRST READING Romans 14:7 12 Brothers and sisters: None of us lives for oneself, and no one dies for oneself. For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord s. For this is why Christ died and came to life, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. Why then do you judge your brother or sister? Or you, why do you look down on your brother or sister? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written: As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend before me, and every tongue shall give praise to God. So then each of us shall give an account of himself to God. RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 27:1bcde, 4, 13 14 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear? The Lord is my life s refuge; of whom should I be afraid? One thing I ask of the Lord; this I seek: To dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, That I may gaze on the loveliness of the Lord and contemplate his temple. I believe that I shall see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage; be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Matthew 11:28 Alleluia, alleluia. Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest, says the Lord. sample GOSPEL Luke 15:1 10 The tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus, but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying, This man welcomes sinners and eats with them. So Jesus addressed this parable to them. What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it? And when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy and, upon his arrival home, he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them, Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep. I tell you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance. Or what woman having ten coins and losing one would not light a lamp and sweep
508 Weekday Masses: Ordinary Time Year 1 the house, searching carefully until she finds it? And when she does find it, she calls together her friends and neighbors and says to them, Rejoice with me because I have found the coin that I lost. In just the same way, I tell you, there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents. COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 16 (15):11 You will show me the path of life, the fullness of joy in your presence, O Lord. Or: John 6:58 Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me shall have life because of me, says the Lord. Friday ENTRANCE ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 38 (37):22 23 Forsake me not, O Lord, my God; be not far from me! Make haste and come to my help, O Lord, my strong salvation! FIRST READING Romans 15:14 21 I myself am convinced about you, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another. But I have written to you rather boldly in some respects to remind you, because of the grace given me by God to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in performing the priestly service of the Gospel of God, so that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to boast in what pertains to God. For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to lead the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed, by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum I have finished preaching the Gospel of Christ. Thus I aspire to proclaim the Gospel not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on another s foundation, but as it is written: Those who have never been told of him shall see, and those who have never heard of him shall understand. sample RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 98:1, 2 3ab, 3cd 4 The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done wondrous deeds; His right hand has won victory for him, his holy arm. The Lord has made his salvation known: in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice. He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation by our God.
Thirty-First Week in Ordinary Time, Year 1: Saturday 509 Sing joyfully to the Lord, all you lands; break into song; sing praise. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION 1 John 2:5 Alleluia, alleluia. Whoever keeps the word of Christ, the love of God is truly perfected in him. GOSPEL Luke 16:1 8 Jesus said to his disciples, A rich man had a steward who was reported to him for squandering his property. He summoned him and said, What is this I hear about you? Prepare a full account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be my steward. The steward said to himself, What shall I do, now that my master is taking the position of steward away from me? I am not strong enough to dig and I am ashamed to beg. I know what I shall do so that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may welcome me into their homes. He called in his master s debtors one by one. To the first he said, How much do you owe my master? He replied, One hundred measures of olive oil. He said to him, Here is your promissory note. Sit down and quickly write one for fifty. Then to another he said, And you, how much do you owe? He replied, One hundred measures of wheat. He said to him, Here is your promissory note; write one for eighty. And the master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently. For the children of this world are more prudent in dealing with their own generation than the children of light. COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 16 (15):11 You will show me the path of life, the fullness of joy in your presence, O Lord. Or: John 6:58 Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me shall have life because of me, says the Lord. Saturday sample ENTRANCE ANTIPHON cf.

Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the firstfruits in Asia for Christ. Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you. Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners; they are prominent among the Apostles and they were in Christ before me. Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.

Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus greet you. Now to him who can strengthen you, according to my Gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret for long ages but now manifested through the prophetic writings and, according to the command of the eternal God, made known to all nations to bring about the obedience of faith, to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ be glory forever and ever. Amen. RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 145:2 3, 4 5, 10 11 I will praise your name for ever, Lord. Every day will I bless you, They speak of the splendor and I will praise your name of your glorious majesty forever and ever. and tell of your wondrous works. Great is the Lord Let all your works and highly to be praised; give you thanks, O Lord, his greatness is unsearchable. and let your faithful ones bless you. Generation after generation Let them discourse of the glory praises your works of your Kingdom and proclaims your might. and speak of your might. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION 2 Corinthians 8:9 Alleluia, alleluia. Jesus Christ became poor although he was rich, so that by his poverty you might become rich. GOSPEL Luke 16:9 15 Jesus said to his disciples: I tell you, make friends for yourselves with dishonest wealth, so that when it fails, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. The person who is trustworthy in very small matters is also trustworthy in great ones; and the person who is dishonest in very small matters is also dishonest in great ones. If, therefore, you are not trustworthy with dishonest wealth, who will trust you with true wealth? If you are not trustworthy with what belongs to another, who will give you what is yours? No servant can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all these things and sneered at him. And he said to them, You justify yourselves in the sight of others, but God knows your hearts; for what is of human esteem is an abomination in the sight of God. sample COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 16 (15):11 You will show me the path of life, the fullness of joy in your presence, O Lord. Or: John 6:58 Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me shall have life because of me, says the Lord.

512 Weekday Masses: Ordinary Time Year 1 GOSPEL Luke 17:1 6 Jesus said to his disciples, Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the one through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, I am sorry, you should forgive him. And the Apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith. The Lord replied, If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, Be uprooted and planted in the sea, and it would obey you. COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 23 (22):1 2 The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose, near restful waters he leads me. Or: cf.

GOSPEL Luke 17:7 10 Jesus said to the Apostles: Who among you would say to your servant who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, Come here immediately and take your place at table? Would he not rather say to him, Prepare something for me to eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished?

I offer them for all the intentions of Your Son s Sacred Heart, for the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of Christians. Amen. EVENING PRAYER God, our Father, this day is done. We ask You and Jesus Christ, Your Son, that with the Spirit, our welcome guest, You guard our sleep and bless our rest. Amen. ACT OF CONTRITION My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against You whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with Your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In His name, my God, have mercy. PRAYER OF SAINT RICHARD OF CHICHESTER Thanks be to Thee, my Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits Thou hast given me, for all the pains and insults Thou hast borne for me. O most merciful Redeemer, friend and brother, may I know Thee more clearly, love Thee more dearly, and follow Thee more nearly, day by day. Amen. ACT OF FAITH O my God, I firmly believe that You are one God in three divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe that Your divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches, because You have revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen. sample ACT OF HOPE O my God, relying on Your infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Your grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. Amen. ACT OF LOVE O my God, I love You above all things with my whole heart and soul, because You are all good and worthy of all my love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of You. I forgive all who have injured me and I ask pardon of those whom I have injured. Amen.

A PARENTS PRAYER Loving God, You are the giver of all we possess, the source of all of our blessings. We thank and praise You for the gift of our children. Help us to set boundaries for them, and yet encourage them to explore. Give us the strength and courage to treat each day as a fresh start. May our children come to know You, the one true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom You have sent. May Your Holy Spirit help them to grow in faith, hope, and love, so they may know peace, truth, and goodness. May their ears hear Your voice. May their eyes see Your presence in all things. May their lips proclaim Your Word. May their hearts be Your dwelling place. May their hands do works of charity. May their feet walk in the way of Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Lord. Amen. PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. sample CANTICLES FOR THE LITURGY OF THE HOURS MAGNIFICAT Luke 1:46 55 My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; for He has looked with favor on His lowly servant.
