29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Contemporary Rite, p. 63 Hymn of Faith p. 13 vv. 1 & 4 Penitential Rite, p. 65 Entrance Hymn V. Therefore, holy brothers, sharing in a heavenly calling, reflect on Jesus, the apostle and High Priest of our confession. R. For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one Who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin. V. Glory be... R. As it was A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. Is 53:10-11 The LORD was pleased to crush him in infirmity. If he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life, and the will of the LORD shall be accomplished through him. Because of his affliction he shall see the light in fullness of days; through his suffering, my servant shall justify many, and their guilt he shall bear. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Psalm Response Lord, let Your mercy be upon us, as we place our trust in You. (Ps. 33) Sts. Ptolemaeus, Lucius and Companions, Martyrs October 19, 2015 PTOLEMY, a zealous Christian at Rome, had converted a married woman to the faith, whose brutish husband treated her on that account in the most barbarous manner, and never ceased to blaspheme God, the Creator of all things. She making use of the liberty which both the Roman law and the gospel 1 gave her in that case, proceeded to a legal separation. The husband, in revenge, accused Ptolemy of being a Christian. The martyr lay a long time in a stinking dungeon, and being at length brought to his trial before Urbicius, prefect of Rome, boldly confessed his faith in Christ, and, without more ado, was condemned by the judge to lose his head. Lucius, a Christian, who was present, said to the prefect: Where is the justice to punish a person who has not been convicted of any crime? Urbicius said: I presume you are also a Christian? I have that happiness, replied Lucius. Urbicius, whose heart was hardened in injustice, passed sentence also on him. A third who declared himself to have the same faith, and whose name is not known, was beheaded with them. They received their crowns in 166 CE, in the reign of Marcus Aurelius. The saints looked on the goods and evils of this world with indifference, and went with joy to martyrdom, because they regarded this life only as a preparation for a better, and considered that they were immense gainers by death, which puts us in secure possession of eternal happiness. ~From bartleby.com A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Hebrews. Heb 4:14-16 Brothers and sisters: Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin. So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help. This is the Word of the Lord Thanks be to God October 18, 2015 2 October 18, 2015 11

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia V. The Son of Man came to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.. R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Mark. Mk 10:35-45 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you." He replied, "What do you wish me to do for you?" They answered him, "Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left." Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" They said to him, "We can." Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared." When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John. Jesus summoned them and said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many." Homemade Fresh & Smoked Kielbasa Joyview Meat Market, Inc. This is the Gospel of the Lord.
