  Reading 1 Jonah 1:1–2:1-2, 11

  This is the word of the LORD that came to Jonah, son of Amittai:
  
  “Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and preach against it;
  their wickedness has come up before me.”
  But Jonah made ready to flee to Tarshish away from the LORD.
  He went down to Joppa, found a ship going to Tarshish,
  paid the fare, and went aboard to journey with them to Tarshish,
  away from the LORD.
  
  The LORD, however, hurled a violent wind upon the sea,
  and in the furious tempest that arose
  the ship was on the point of breaking up.
  Then the mariners became frightened and each one cried to his god.
  To lighten the ship for themselves, they threw its cargo into the sea.
  Meanwhile, Jonah had gone down into the hold of the ship,
  and lay there fast asleep.
  The captain came to him and said, “What are you doing asleep?
  Rise up, call upon your God!
  Perhaps God will be mindful of us so that we may not perish.”
  
  Then they said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots
  to find out on whose account we have met with this misfortune.”
  So they cast lots, and thus singled out Jonah.
  “Tell us,” they said, “what is your business?
  Where do you come from?
  What is your country, and to what people do you belong?”
  Jonah answered them, “I am a Hebrew,
  I worship the LORD, the God of heaven,
  who made the sea and the dry land.”
  
  Now the men were seized with great fear and said to him,
  “How could you do such a thing!–
  They knew that he was fleeing from the LORD,
  because he had told them.–
  They asked, “What shall we do with you,
  that the sea may quiet down for us?”
  For the sea was growing more and more turbulent.
  Jonah said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,
  that it may quiet down for you;
  since I know it is because of me
  that this violent storm has come upon you.”
  
  Still the men rowed hard to regain the land, but they could not,
  for the sea grew ever more turbulent.
  Then they cried to the LORD: “We beseech you, O LORD,
  let us not perish for taking this man’s life;
  do not charge us with shedding innocent blood,
  for you, LORD, have done as you saw fit.”
  Then they took Jonah and threw him into the sea,
  and the sea’s raging abated.
  Struck with great fear of the LORD,
  the men offered sacrifice and made vows to him.
  
  But the LORD sent a large fish, that swallowed Jonah;
  and Jonah remained in the belly of the fish
  three days and three nights.
  From the belly of the fish Jonah prayed
  to the LORD, his God.
  Then the LORD commanded the fish to spew Jonah upon the shore.

  Responsorial Psalm Jonah 2:3, 4, 5, 8

  R. (cf. 7) You will rescue my life from the pit, O Lord.
  Out of my distress I called to the LORD,
  and he answered me;
  From the midst of the nether world I cried for help,
  and you heard my voice.
  R. You will rescue my life from the pit, O Lord.
  For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea,
  and the flood enveloped me;
  All your breakers and your billows
  passed over me.
  R. You will rescue my life from the pit, O Lord.
  Then I said, “I am banished from your sight!
  yet would I again look upon your holy temple.”
  R. You will rescue my life from the pit, O Lord.
  When my soul fainted within me,
  I remembered the LORD;
  My prayer reached you
  in your holy temple.
  R. You will rescue my life from the pit, O Lord.

  Alleluia John 13:34

  R. Alleluia, alleluia.
  I give you a new commandment:
  love one another as I have loved you.
  R. Alleluia, alleluia.

  Gospel Luke 10:25-37

  There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said,
  “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
  Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law?
  How do you read it?”
  He said in reply,
  “You shall love the Lord, your God,
  with all your heart,
  with all your being,
  with all your strength,
  and with all your mind,
  and your neighbor as yourself.”
  He replied to him, “You have answered correctly;
  do this and you will live.”
  
  But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus,
  “And who is my neighbor?”
  Jesus replied,
  “A man fell victim to robbers
  as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho.
  They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead.
  A priest happened to be going down that road,
  but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.
  Likewise a Levite came to the place,
  and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.
  But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him
  was moved with compassion at the sight.
  He approached the victim,
  poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them.
  Then he lifted him up on his own animal,
  took him to an inn, and cared for him.
  The next day he took out two silver coins
  and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction,
  ‘Take care of him.
  If you spend more than what I have given you,
  I shall repay you on my way back.’
  Which of these three, in your opinion,
  was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?”
  He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.”
  Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

  Primera lectura Jonás 1, 1–2, 1. 11

  El Señor le dirigió la palabra a Jonás, hijo de Amitay, y le dijo: “Levántate y vete a Nínive, la gran ciudad, y predica en ella que su maldad ha llegado hasta mí”.
  
  Se levantó Jonás para huir a Tarsis, lejos del Señor, y llegó a Jafa, donde encontró un barco que salía para Tarsis; pagó su pasaje y se embarcó para dirigirse a Tarsis, lejos del Señor.
  
  Pero el Señor desencadenó un gran viento sobre el mar y provocó una tormenta tan fuerte, que el barco estaba a punto de naufragar. Los marineros tuvieron miedo y se pusieron a invocar cada uno a su dios. Luego echaron al mar la carga para aligerar la nave.
  
  Mientras tanto, Jonás había bajado al fondo del barco, se había acostado y dormía profundamente. El capitán se le acercó y le dijo: “¿Qué haces aquí dormido? Levántate e invoca a tu Dios, a ver si él se compadece de nosotros y no perecemos”.
  
  Luego se dijeron unos a otros: “Echemos suertes para ver quién tiene la culpa de esta desgracia”. Echaron suertes y le tocó a Jonás. Entonces le dijeron: “Dinos por qué nos ha sobrevenido esta desgracia, cuál es tu oficio, de dónde vienes, cuál es tu país y de qué pueblo eres”.
  
  Él les respondió: “Soy hebreo y adoro al Señor, Dios del cielo, que hizo el mar y la tierra”. Entonces aquellos hombres tuvieron mucho miedo y le dijeron: “¿Por qué has hecho esto?” Pues él acababa de decirles que iba huyendo del Señor. Y como el mar seguía encrespándose, le preguntaron: “¿Qué hemos de hacer contigo para que el mar se calme?” El les respondió: “Levántenme y arrójenme al mar, y el mar se calmará, pues sé que por mi culpa les ha sobrevenido esta tormenta tan fuerte”.
  
  Los hombres se pusieron a remar para alcanzar la costa, pero no pudieron, porque el mar seguía encrespándose en torno a ellos. Entonces invocaron al Señor, diciendo: “Señor, no nos hagas morir por culpa de este hombre ni nos hagas responsables de la muerte de un inocente, ya que es clara tu voluntad”.
  
  Entonces levantaron a Jonás y lo arrojaron al mar y el mar calmó su furia. Y aquellos hombres temieron mucho al Señor; le ofrecieron un sacrificio y le hicieron promesas.
  
  Dispuso el Señor que una ballena se tragara a Jonás, el cual estuvo en el vientre de la ballena tres días y tres noches. Entonces el Señor le ordenó a la ballena que vomitara a Jonás en tierra firme.

  Salmo Responsorial Jonás 2, 3. 4. 5. 8

  R. (7c) En el peligro grité al Señor y me atendió.
  En el peligro gríté al Señor y me atendió.
  Desde el vientre del abismo te pedí auxilio
  y me escuchaste. R.
  R. En el peligro grité al Señor y me atendió.
  Me habías arrojado al fondo, en alta mar,
  me rodeaba la corriente,
  tus torrentes y tus olas me arrollaban.
  R. En el peligro grité al Señor y me atendió.
  Entonces pensé:
  “Me has arrojado de tu presencia;
  ¿quién pudiera ver otra vez tu santo templo?”
  R. En el peligro grité al Señor y me atendió.
  Cuando se me acababan las fuerzas,
  invoqué al Señor
  y llegó hasta ti mi oración, hasta su santo templo.
  R. En el peligro grité al Señor y me atendió.

  Aclamación antes del Evangelio Juan 13, 34

  R. Aleluya, aleluya.
  Les doy un mandamiento nuevo, dice el Señor,
  que se amen los unos a los otros, como yo los he amado.
  R. Aleluya.

  Evangelio Lucas 10, 25-37

  En aquel tiempo, se presentó ante Jesús un doctor de la ley para ponerlo a prueba y le preguntó: “Maestro, ¿qué debo hacer para conseguir la vida eterna?” Jesús le dijo: “¿Qué es lo que está escrito en la ley? ¿Qué lees en ella?” El doctor de la ley contestó: “Amarás al Señor tu Dios, con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma, con todas tus fuerzas y con todo tu ser, y a tu prójimo como a ti mismo”. Jesús le dijo: “Has contestado bien; si haces eso, vivirás”.
  
  El doctor de la ley, para justificarse, le preguntó a Jesús: “¿Y quién es mi prójimo?” Jesús le dijo: “Un hombre que bajaba por el camino de Jerusalén a Jericó, cayó en manos de unos ladrones, los cuales lo robaron, lo hirieron y lo dejaron medio muerto. Sucedió que por el mismo camino bajaba un sacerdote, el cual lo vio y pasó de largo. De igual modo, un levita que pasó por ahí, lo vio y siguió adelante. Pero un samaritano que iba de viaje, al verlo, se compadeció de él, se le acercó, ungió sus heridas con aceite y vino y se las vendó; luego lo puso sobre su cabalgadura, lo llevó a un mesón y cuidó de él. Al día siguiente sacó dos denarios, se los dio al dueño del mesón y le dijo: ‘Cuida de él y lo que gastes de más, te lo pagaré a mi regreso’.
  
  ¿Cuál de estos tres te parece que se portó como prójimo del hombre que fue asaltado por los ladrones?” El doctor de la ley le respondió: “El que tuvo compasión de él”. Entonces Jesús le dijo: “Anda y haz tú lo mismo”.

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, 
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. 
I love You above all things, 
and I desire to receive You into my soul. 
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, 
come at least spiritually into my heart. 
I embrace You as if You were already there 
and unite myself wholly to You. 
Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

St. Alphonsus Liguori

Spiritual Communion Prayer

At Thy feet, O my Jesus, I prostrate myself and I offer Thee repentance of my contrite heart, which is humbled in its nothingness and in Thy holy presence. I adore Thee in the Sacrament of Thy love, the ineffable Eucharist. I desire to receive Thee into the poor dwelling that my heart offers Thee. While waiting for the happiness of sacramental communion, I wish to possess Thee in spirit. Come to me, O my Jesus, since I, for my part, am coming to Thee! May Thy love embrace my whole being in life and in death. I believe in Thee, I hope in Thee, I love Thee. Amen.

Servant of God Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val

Anima Christi Prayer

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from Christ’s side, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the malicious enemy defend me.
In the hour of my death call me.
And bid me come unto Thee.
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints.
Forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer of Thanksgiving after Communion

Lord, Father all-powerful and ever-living God, I thank You, for even though I am a sinner, your unprofitable servant, not because of my worth but in the kindness of your mercy, You have fed me with the Precious Body & Blood of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that this Holy Communion may not bring me condemnation and punishment but forgiveness and salvation. 

May it be a helmet of faith and a shield of good will. May it purify me from evil ways and put an end to my evil passions. May it bring me charity and patience, humility and obedience, and growth in the power to do good. May it be my strong defense against all my enemies, visible and invisible, and the perfect calming of all my evil impulses, bodily and spiritual. May it unite me more closely to you, the One true God, and lead me safely through death to everlasting happiness with You.

And I pray that You will lead me, a sinner, to the banquet where you, with Your Son and holy Spirit, are true and perfect light, total fulfillment, everlasting joy, gladness without end, and perfect happiness to your saints. grant this through Christ our Lord, Amen.

St. Thomas Aquinas
