Ex 24, 3-8
First Reading
Ex 24:3-8
When Moses came to the people and related all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all answered with one voice, "We will do everything that the LORD has told us." Moses then wrote down all the words of the LORD and, rising early the next day, he erected at the foot of the mountain an altar and twelve pil-lars for the twelve tribes of Israel. Then, hav-ing sent certain young men of the Israelites to offer holocausts and sacrifice young bulls
as peace offerings to the LORD, Moses took half of the blood and put it in large bowls; the other half he splashed on the altar. Taking the book of the covenant, he read it aloud to the people, who answered, "All that the LORD has said, we will heed and do."
Then he took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, saying, "This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words of his."
En aquellos días, Moisés bajó del monte Sinaí y refirió al pueblo todo lo que el Señor le había dicho y los mandamientos que le había dado. Y el pueblo contestó a una voz: “Haremos todo lo que dice el Señor”. Moisés puso por escrito todas las palabras del Se-ñor. Se levantó temprano, construyó un altar al pie del monte y puso al lado del altar doce piedras conmemorativas, en representación de las doce tribus de Israel. Después mandó a algunos jóvenes israelitas a ofrecer
holo-caustos e inmolar novillos, como sacrificios pacíficos en honor del Señor. Tomó la mitad de la sangre, la puso en vasijas y derramó so-bre el altar la otra mitad. Entonces tomó el libro de la alianza y lo leyó al pueblo, y el pueblo respondió: “Obedeceremos. Haremos todo lo que manda el Señor”. Luego Moisés roció al pueblo con la sangre, diciendo: “Ésta es la sangre de la alianza que el Señor ha hecho con ustedes, conforme a las palabras que han oído”.
How shall I make a return to the LORD for all the good he has done for me? The cup of salvation I will take up,
and I will call upon the name of the LORD. Precious in the eyes of the LORD
is the death of his faithful ones.
I am your servant, the son of your handmaid; you have loosed my bonds.
To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving, and I will call upon the name of the LORD. My vows to the LORD I will pay
in the presence of all his people.
¿Cómo pagaré al Señor
todo el bien que me ha hecho? Levantaré el cáliz de la salvación, e invocaré el nombre del Señor. R. A los ojos del Señor es muy penoso que mueran sus amigos.
De la muerte, Señor, me has librado, A mí, tu esclavo e hijo de tu esclava. R. Te ofreceré con gratitud un sacrificio e invocaré tu nombre.
Cumpliré mis promesas al Señor ante todo su pueblo. R.
Second Reading
Heb 9:11-15
Brothers and sisters: When Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come to be, passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands, that is, not belonging to this creation, he entered once for all into the sanctuary, not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer's ashes can sanctify those who are defiled so that their flesh is
cleansed, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit of-fered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works
to worship the living God. For this reason he is mediator of a new covenant: since a death has taken place for deliverance from trans-gressions under the first covenant, those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance.
Segunda Lectura
Heb 9, 11-15
Hermanos: Cuando Cristo se presentó como sumo sacerdote que nos obtiene los bienes definitivos, penetró una sola vez y para siem-pre en el “lugar santísimo”, a través de una tienda, que no estaba hecha por mano de hombres, ni pertenecía a esta creación. No llevó consigo sangre de animales, sino su propia sangre, con la cual nos obtuvo una re-dención eterna. Porque si la sangre de los machos cabríos y de los becerros y las ceni-zas de una ternera, cuando se esparcían so-bre los impuros, eran capaces de conferir a los israelitas una pureza legal, meramente
exterior, ¡cuánto más la sangre de Cristo pu-rificará nuestra conciencia de todo pecado, a fin de que demos culto al Dios vivo, ya que a impulsos del Espíritu Santo, se ofreció a sí mismo como sacrificio inmaculado a Dios, y así podrá purificar nuestra conciencia de las obras que conducen a la muerte, para servir al Dios vivo! Por eso, Cristo es el mediador de una alianza nueva. Con su muerte hizo que fueran perdonados los delitos cometidos du-rante la antigua alianza, para que los llama-dos por Dios pudieran recibir la herencia eterna que él les había prometido.
Gospel Acclamation
I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord; whoever eats this bread will live forever.
Gospel
Mk 14:12-16, 22-26
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples said to him,
"Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?" He sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the city and a man will meet you, carrying a jar of water. Follow him. Wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"' Then he will show you a large upper room fur-nished and ready. Make the preparations for us there." The disciples then went off,
en-tered the city, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover. While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is my body."
Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
He said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God." Then, after singing a hymn,
they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Aclamación antes del Evangelio
Yo soy el pan vivo que ha bajado del cielo, dice el Señor; el que coma de este pan vivirá para siempre.
Evangelio
Mc 14, 12-16. 22-26
El primer día de la fiesta de los panes Azi-mos, cuando se sacrificaba el cordero pascu-al, le preguntaron a Jesús sus discípulos: “¿Dónde quieres que vayamos a prepararte la cena de Pascua?” Él les dijo a dos de ellos: “Vayan a la ciudad. Encontrarán a un hom-bre que lleva un cántaro de agua; síganlo y díganle al dueño de la casa en donde entre: ‘El Maestro manda preguntar: ¿Dónde está la habitación en que voy a comer la Pascua con mis discípulos?’ Él les enseñará una sala en el segundo piso, arreglada con divanes. Prepár-ennos allí la cena”. Los discípulos se fueron, llegaron a la ciudad, encontraron lo que
Jesús les había dicho y prepararon la cena de Pascua. Mientras cenaban, Jesús tomó un pan, pronunció la bendición, lo partió y se lo dio a sus discípulos, diciendo: “Tomen: esto es mi cuerpo”. Y tomando en sus manos una copa de vino, pronunció la acción de gracias, se la dio, todos bebieron y les dijo: “Ésta es mi sangre, sangre de la alianza, que se der-rama por todos. Yo les aseguro que no volveré a beber del fruto de la vid hasta el día en que beba el vino nuevo en el Reino de Dios”. Después de cantar el himno, salieron hacia el monte de los Olivos.
Homily
Creed
Universal Prayer
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

The tradition of the Manutergium and the First Confessional
Stole
The manutergium (Latin for “hand towel”) is used to soak and absorb the chrism oil from the priest's hands during his ordination to the priesthood. The manutergium is given to the mother of the newly ordained because she was the first protector of the newly ordained priest during his time in her womb. It is part of tradition that the mother of the priest keeps this cloth during her lifetime. When the newly ordained priest’s mother is called home to God, she is buried holding the manutergium so that all in Heaven and on Earth will know that she was the mother of a priest. And on the last day when we are raised from the dead, she can present the manutergium to Christ the Lord and say, “my son too shared in your priesthood.”
The priest's first confessional stole is a priest's lasting gift to his father. It was the father of the newly ordained priest who first taught him about justice, compassion, and mercy. That is why the confessional stole, used for hearing confessions, absolving penitents, and proclaiming God's mercy, is given to the priest’s father. When the father of the priest dies, he is buried holding the confessional stole so that all in Heaven and on Earth will know that he was the father of a priest and on the judgment day, when we are raised from the
dead, he can present the stole to Christ and say, “my son too shared in your priesthood.”
