Penitential Act
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,
All strike their breast three times during the following two lines:
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.

A reading from the Book of Isaiah
Lectura del libro del Profeta Isaías:
In those days:
The spirit from on high
will be poured out on us.
Then will the desert become an orchard
and the orchard will be regarded as a forest.
Pero sobre nosotros se derramaráel espíritu desde
arriba.
Entonces el desierto se transformará en vergel,
y lo que ahora es llamado vergel
sera tenido por terreno baldío.
En el desierto acampará el Derecho;
en el jardín descansará la Justicia.
La obra de la Justicia sera la Paz
y los frutos de la justicia serán tranquilidad y seguridad para siempre.
Mi pueblo vivirá en habitaciones buenas,
en barrios seguros, en lugares tranquilos.
Right will dwell in the desert
and justice will abide in the orchard.
Justice will bring about peace;
right will produce calm and security.
May people will live in peaceful country,
in secure dwellings and quiet resting places.

a los Colosenses.
Brothers and sisters:
Put on, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved,
heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness,
and patience,
bearing with one another and forgiving one another,
if one has a grievance against another;
as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.
And over all these put on love,
that is, the bond of perfection.
And let the peace of Christ control your hearts,
the peace into which you were also called in one
Body.
And be thankful.
Hermanos y hermanas:
Póngase, pues, el vestido que conviene a los elegidos
de Dios, sus santos muy queridos: la compassion
tierna, la bondad, la humilidad, la mansedumbre, la
paciencia.
Sopórtense y perdónense unos a otros
si uno tiene motive de queja contra otro.
Como el Señor los perdonó, a su vez hagan ustedes
lo mismo.
Por encima de esta vestidura pondrán como cinturón el amor,
que lo hace todo perfector.
Así la paz de Cristo reinara en sus corazones, pues
para esto fueron llamados y reunidos.
Finalmente, sean agradecidos.
Reader: The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

All:
Glory to you, O Lord.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to
Matthew.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the
mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples
came to him.
He began to teach them, saying:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the
Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be
comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for
righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown
mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called
children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of
righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute
you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely
because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in
heaven.”

Jesús, al ver toda aquella muchedumbre, subió al
monte. Se sentó y sus dicípulos se reunieron a su
alrededor. Entonces comenzó a hablar y les enseñaba
diciendo:
“Felices los que tienen el espíritu del pobre, porque de
ellos es el Reino de los Cielos.
Felices losque lloran, porque recibirán Consuelo.
Felices los pacientes, porque recibirán la tierra en
herencia.
Felices losque tienen hambre y sed de justicia,
porque serán saciados.
Felices los compasivos, porque obtendrán
misericordia.
Felices los de corazón limpio, porque verán a Dios.
Felices los que trabajan por la paz, porque serán
reconocidos como hijos de Dios.
Felices los que son perseguidos por causa del bien,
porque de ellos es el Reino de los Cielos.
Felices ustedes, cuando por causa mía los insulten,
los persigan, y les levanten today clase de calumnias.
Alégrense y muéstrense contentos, porque sera
grande la recompense que recibirán en el cielo.”

Stonyhurst College is the oldest surviving Jesuit school in the world, and was founded in 1593 to provide a Catholic
education for English boys, which was then illegal in England. The school started its existence in the town of Saint-Omer,
Catholic Universities
Loyola University Maryland
near Calais, under the protection of Philip of Spain. It was known as St Omers College, and in 1762 it moved to Bruges.
Then in1773 it moved to Liege and finally in 1794 to its present location at Stonyhurst in the northwest of England.
It has three saints, twelve Beati and 22 martyrs in all, from among its alumni, executed in England between 1608 and
1680. The College was a sanctuary for rescued Catholic artefacts such as church silver, vestments, manuscripts and relics,
which were targeted for destruction in 16th and 17th c England. These things were smuggled across the Channel with the
boys who came to St Omers. The first object is known to have arrived at the College in 1609, and from this date we make
our claim to be the oldest museum in the English speaking world.
Stonyhurst cares for a highly significant collection of Catholic material culture, including royal vestments and books,
medieval religious embroideries, illuminated manuscripts, and relics of saints and martyrs from the early Christian church
up to Oscar Romero ( Jan Graffius, curator of collections at Stonyhurst, has been working on a project in El Salvador,
preserving his relics since 2007). The relics of Thomas More and John Fisher, which Ms. Graffius is bringing to the US,
were kept in the hands of family members before they were donated to the college. They will be displayed in small purposebuilt reliquaries.
