First Reading   Jeremiah 31:31-34

 

A reading from the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah

 

‘Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
not like the covenant which I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
to bring them out of the land of Egypt,
my covenant which they broke,
though I was their husband, says the Lord.
But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,
says the Lord:
I will put my law within them,
and I will write it upon their hearts;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
And no longer shall each person teach his neighbour
and each his brother or sister, saying,
‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,
says the Lord;
for I will forgive their iniquity,
and I will remember their sin no more.’

 

The word of the Lord.

 

 

 

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 110(109):1b-e, 2, 3 (± 4b)

 

Let us pray the Responsorial Psalm

 

R./ You are a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

 

The Lord’s revelation to my lord:

‘Sit at my right hand,
until I make your foes your footstool.’

 

The Lord will send from Zion
your sceptre of power:
rule in the midst of your foes.

 

With you is princely rule
on the day of your power.
In holy splendour, from the womb before the dawn,
I have begotten you.

 

R./ You are a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

 

 

Please stand for the Gospel

 

Alleluia, alleluia.

Since he was Son,

he learned obedience through those things which he suffered,

and having been made perfect, he has become for all who obey him

the author of eternal salvation.

Alleluia.

 

 

 

Gospel: Mark 14:22-25

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark

As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it,
and gave it to them, and said, ‘Take; this is my body.’
And he took a cup,
and when he had given thanks he gave it to them,
and they all drank of it.
And he said to them,
‘This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
Truly, I say to you, I shall not drink again of the fruit of the vine
until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.’

The Gospel of the Lord.

 

Communion Antiphon
And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
