Prelude “Prelude on the plainchant: ‘Laetare, Jerusalem’”................................................................................... Vidas Pinkevičius
Rejoice, Jerusalem, and all who love her.
Be joyful, all who were in mourning: exult and be satisfied at her consoling breast. — Isaiah 66: 10 --11

Those watching the Mass from home are invited to sing with the Cantors.
Greeting
Priest: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
People: And with your spirit.
Penitential Act: Confiteor and 3-Fold Kyrie (The 3-Fold Kyrie is sung by the Cantor)
I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I
have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask
blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the angels and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the lord our God.
Lord, have mercy. Kyrie, eleison.
Christ, have mercy. Christe, eleison.
Lord, have mercy. Kyrie, eleison.
First Reading 2 CHRONICLES 36:14-16, 19-23
In those days, all the princes of Judah, the priests, and the people added infidelity to infidelity, practicing all the abominations of the
nations and polluting the LORD’s temple which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
Early and often did the LORD, the God of their fathers, send his messengers to them, for he had compassion on his people and his
dwelling place. They mocked the messengers of God, despised his warnings, and scoffed at his prophets, until the anger of the
LORD against his people was so inflamed that there was no remedy. Their enemies burnt the house of God, tore down the walls of
Jerusalem, set all its palaces afire, and destroyed all its precious objects. Those who escaped the sword were carried captive to
Babylon, where they became servants of the king of the Chaldeans and his sons until the kingdom of the Persians came to power.
All this was to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah: “Until the land has retrieved its lost sabbaths, during all the time it
lies waste it shall have rest while seventy years are fulfilled.”
In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah, the LORD inspired King
Cyrus of Persia to issue this proclamation throughout his kingdom, both by word of mouth and in writing: “Thus says Cyrus, king of
Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the LORD, the God of heaven, has given to me, and he has also charged me to build him a
house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever, therefore, among you belongs to any part of his people, let him go up, and may his
God be with him!”

Second Reading EPHESIANS 2:4-10
Brothers and sisters: God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our
transgressions, brought us to life with Christ — by grace you have been saved —, raised us up with him, and seated us with him in
the heavens in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in his kindness to us in
Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so
