okay good morning we gather together name the father the son the holy spirit amen and the grace and the peace of god our father and the lord jesus christ be with you all today we celebrate the memorial of saint casmir who was born in 1458 as the son of the king of poland he practiced the christian virtues to a high degree especially chastity and kindness to the poor he was zealous for the faith and fervently devoted to the eucharist and the blessed virgin mary and he died of consumption in 1484. let's be prepared for this mass and his honor by asking the lord's forgiveness for our own sinfulness lord jesus you have shown us the way to the father lord have mercy lord jesus you have given us the consolation of the truth christ have mercy lord jesus you are the good shepherd leading us into everlasting life lord have mercy may almighty god have mercy on us and forgive us our sins and bring us all in everlasting life amen let us pray almighty god to serve you is to reign grant that with the help of saint casmar's intercession we may constantly serve you in holiness and justice through our lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit one god forever and ever a reading from the letter saint paul to the philippians sisters and brothers i consider everything as a loss because of the supreme good of knowing christ jesus my lord for his sake i have accepted the loss of all things and i consider them so much rubbish that i may gain christ and be found in him not having any righteousness of my own based on the law but that which comes through faith in christ the righteousness from god depending on faith to know him and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by being conformed to his death if somehow i may attain the resurrection from the dead it is not that i've already taken hold of it or have already attained perfect maturity but i continue my pursuit and hope that i may possess it since i have indeed been taken possession by christ jesus sisters and brothers i for my part do not consider myself to have taken possession just one thing forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead i continue my pursuit toward the goal the prize of god's upward calling in christ jesus the lord of the lord a response the just one shall live on your holy mountain o lord the just one shall live on your holy mountain o lord he who walks blamelessly and does justice who thinks the truth in his heart and slanders not with his tongue the just one shall live on your holy mountain o lord who harms not his fellow man nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor by whom the reprobate is despised while he honors those who fear the lord the just one shall live on your holy mountain o lord who lends not his money at usury and accepts no bribe against the innocent he who does these things shall never be disturbed the just one shall live on your only mountain oh lord the lord be with you this is a reading from the holy gospel according to john jesus said to his disciples as the father loves me so i also love you remain in my love if you keep my commandments you will remain in my love just as i have kept my father's commandments and remain in his love i've told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete this is my commandment love one another as i love you no one has greater love than this to lay down one's life for one's friends you are my friends if you do what i command you i no longer call you slaves because a slave does not know what his master is doing i have called you friends because i have told you everything i have heard from my father it was not you who chose me but i who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain so that whatever you ask the father in my name he may give you this i command you love one another the gospel of the lord trusting the lord's mercy let us humbly turn to god to
