LITURGY OF THE WORDFirst Reading: 1 Kings 8: 22-23, 27-30
In those days: Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the
presence of the whole community of Israel, and stretching forth his
hands toward heaven, he said, “LORD, God of Israel, there is no God
like you in heaven above or on earth below; you keep your covenant
of mercy with your servants who are faithful to you with their
whole heart. Can it indeed be that God dwells on earth? If the
heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain you, how much less
this temple which I have built! Look kindly on the prayer and
petition of your servant, O LORD, my God, and listen to the cry of
supplication I, your servant, utter before you this day. May your
eyes watch night and day over this temple, the place where you have
decreed you shall be honored; may you heed the prayer which I, your
servant, offer in this place. Listen to the petition of your
servant and of your people Israel which they offer in this place.
Listen, from your heavenly dwelling and grant pardon.”
The Word of the LORD. Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 95: 3-5; 6-7
Second Reading: Ephesians 2: 19-22
Brothers and sisters: You are no longer strangers and
sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and
members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the
Apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone.
Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a
temple sacred in the LORD; in him you also are being built together
into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
The Word of the LORD. Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation: Mass of Saint John Fisher
“My dwelling shall be with them; I will be their God, and they
will be my people.” Ezekiel 37: 27
Gospel: Matthew 16: 13-19
The LORD be with you.
A reading from the Holy Gospel According to Matthew.
When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked
his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They
replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others
Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you
say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Christ, the
Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are
you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this
to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the
netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys
to the Kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound
in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven.”
And with your spirit.
Glory to you, O LORD.
Praise to you, LORD Jesus Christ.
The Gospel of the LORD.
PLEASE REMAIN STANDING UNTIL CARDINAL DOLAN VENERATES THE BOOK
OF THE GOSPELS AND BLESSES THOSE PRESENT.

Guidelines for Receiving Holy Communion:
FOR CATHOLICS: As Catholics, we fully participate in the
celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are
encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order
to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should
not be conscious of grave sin and normally should have fasted for
one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive
the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental confession
except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for
confession. In this case, the person is to be mindful of the
obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the
intention of confessing as soon as possible (canon 916). A frequent
reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all.
FOR OUR FELLOW CHRISTIANS: We welcome our fellow Christians to
this celebration of the Eucharist as our brothers and sisters. We
pray that our common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit in
this Eucharist will draw us closer to one another and begin to
dispel the sad divisions which separate us. We pray that these will
lessen and finally disappear, in keeping with Christ’s prayer for
us “that they may all be one” (John 17:21).
Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist
is a sign of the reality of the oneness of faith, life, and
worship, members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully
united are ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. Eucharistic
sharing in exceptional circumstances by other Christians requires
permission according to the directives of the diocesan bishop and
the provisions of canon law (canon 844 §4). Members of the Orthodox
Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, and the Polish National
Catholic Church are urged to respect the discipline of their own
Churches. According to Roman Catholic discipline, the Code of Canon
Law does not object to the reception of Communion by Christians of
these Churches (canon 844 §3).
FOR THOSE NOT RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION: All who are not
receiving Holy Commu-nion are encouraged to express in their hearts
a prayerful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one
another.
FOR NON-CHRISTIANS: We also welcome to this celebration those
who do not share our faith in Jesus Christ. While we cannot admit
them to Holy Communion, we ask them to offer their prayers for the
peace and the unity of the human family.

The principal chalice used at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
today is that of Bishop Bernard J. McQuaid, the First Bishop of
Rochester (1868-1909);
the crosier is that of Bishop James E. Kearney, the Fifth Bishop
of Rochester (1937-1966); the lavabo set was a gift to Bishop

by Sister M. Florian Reichert, S.S.J., an internationally

Beauty Art” was composed by Philip G. Kreckel, a renowned
professor, composer and
longtime organist of Saint Boniface Church, Rochester.
