Heavenly Father, today is a very significant occasion for

all of us gathered here in Your presence. We humbly offer
this solemn mass, to thank You for giving us the courage and
perseverance to tackle all those difficult and challenging years
of study.

We praise and thank You O Lord, for being with us through

the years toward the realization of our goals. We implore
You, Lord, to let the Holy Spirit come upon us and open our
hearts and minds, to accept our responsibilities with
dedication and dignity, so that we will become more effective
instruments of Your goodness.

Kindle in us a love strong enough to let us carry on the task

ahead, and face responsibilities of professional life with
whole-hearted commitment and joy. Help us realize that our
profession is also a vocation through which we glorify You.

Tomorrow, we will live a new life, for today is just the

beginning of that life. Be with us always. This we pray
through Jesus Christ our Lord,

Amen.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

FIRST READING Acts 4:8-12

A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles

Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said:

"Leaders of the people and elders:
If we are being examined today
about a good deed done to a cripple,
namely, by what means he was saved,
then all of you and all the people of Israel should know
that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean
whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead;
in his name this man stands before you healed.
He is the stone rejected by you, the builders,
which has become the cornerstone.
There is no salvation through anyone else,
nor is there any other name under heaven
given to the human race by which we are to be saved."

The word of the Lord.

People : Thanks be to God.

10
 RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 118:1, 8-9, 21-23, 26, 28,
29

Response:
The stone rejected by the builders has become the
cornerstone.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his mercy endures forever.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in princes. R.

I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me

and have been my savior.
The stone which the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
By the LORD has this been done;
it is wonderful in our eyes. R.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD;

we bless you from the house of the LORD.
I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me
and have been my savior.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
for his kindness endures forever. R.

 SECOND READING 1 JN 3:1-2

A Reading from the first letter of John

Beloved:
See what love the Father has bestowed on us
that we may be called the children of God.
Yet so we are.
The reason the world does not know us
is that it did not know him.
Beloved, we are God's children now;
what we shall be has not yet been revealed.
We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him,
for we shall see him as he is.

The word of the Lord.

(Please all stand to honor the Holy Gospel)

PRE-GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

VERSE BEFORE THE GOSPEL

Alleluia, alleluia. I am the good shepherd, says the

Lord; I know my sheep, and mine know me. Alleluia,
alleluia.
(Jn
10:14)

Celebrant : The Lord be with you.

People : And with your spirit.
Celebrant : A reading from the Holy Gospel according to
+ John.
People : Glory to You, O Lord.

GOSPEL John 10: 11-18

Jesus said: "I am the good shepherd. A good

shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired
man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are
not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the
sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and
scatters them. This is because he works for pay and
has no concern for the sheep. I am the good
shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just
as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and
13
 I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other
sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I
must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there
will be one flock, one shepherd.
This is why the Father loves me, because I lay
down my life in order to take it up again. No one
takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I
have power to lay it down, and power to take it up
again. This command I have received from my
Father."

Celebrant : The Gospel of the Lord

People : Praise to you, O Lord, Jesus Christ.

THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW
