Readings

A Reading from the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians.
I do not boast of preaching the Gospel, since it is a duty which has been laid on me; I should be punished if I do not preach it! If I had chosen this work myself, I might have been paid for it, but as I have not, it is a responsibility which has been put into my hands, Do you know what my reward is? It is this: in my preaching, to be able to offer the Good News free, and not insist on the rights which the gospel gives me.
This is the Word of the Lord.

Prayers for the Day

Opening Prayer:
 Lord, help us to respond to the signs of the times.
Teach us your truth and guide our actions,
that we may honour you not only with our lips,
but also by our way of living.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.

Prayer over the Gifts:
A God of all Truth,
Receive these offerings, chosen from your many gifts.
May this Eucharist help us to grow in holiness and faith.
Grant this through Christ Our Lord.

Concluding Prayer:
Gracious Father,
May the Eucharist we have shared
Help us to do with loving hearts what you ask of us.
May we experience your peace and forgiveness
And come to share in the life you promise.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
