Fr. Roshan Loy D'Souza, CSC
From the St. Ignatius Chapel at the Manresa Jesuit Spiritual Renewal Center in Pickering, Ontario. The National Catholic Broadcasting Council presents the Daily TV Mass.
SPEAKER_02Welcome to the Daily TV Mass. I am Father Roshan Lloyd DeSouza. The televising of this Mass is made possible by the contribution from Brendan Casa from Janesville, Wisconsin. This Mass is offered in loving memory of Kathleen, his wife of 67 years of marriage, and the deceased members of Casa and Denny families, for the return of family to their faith and God, for peace between Canada, the USA and Mexico, and in Thanksgiving for the daily TV Mass. Our thanks to Brendan for the gift of this mass to the faithful across Canada, the USA, and around the world that they may share in this celebration. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The grace and peace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. And with your spirit. We thank the Lord for the gift of this beautiful day and for God's bountiful blessings for the gift of faith and gift of family. And today the church honors Saint Jane Francis de Chantel, religious. And as we honor Saint Jane Francis, we too may live saintly lives following the commandment of love. To enter into this celebration, let us call to mind our sins and unworthiness and seek God's mercy. I confess to Almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts, in my words, in what I have done, in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore, I ask Blessed Mary, our virgin, holy angels and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God. May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.
SPEAKER_05Amen.
SPEAKER_02Lord, have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy. Let us pray. O God, who made St. Jane Francis de Chantel radiant with outstanding merits in different walks of life, grant us through her intercession that walking faithfully in our occasion, we may constantly be examples of shining light. Through Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.
SPEAKER_01A reading from the book of the prophet Ezekiel. The Lord cried in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, Draw near, you executioners of the city, each with his destroying weapon in his hand. And six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his weapon for slaughter in his hand. Among them was a man clothed in linen, with a writing case at his side. They went in and stood beside the bronze altar. Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub on which it rested, to the threshold of the house. The Lord called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case at his side, and said to him, Go through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of those who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it. To the others, he said in my hearing, Pass through the city after him and kill. Your eyes shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. Cut down old men, young men and young women, little children and women, but touch no one who has the mark, and begin at my sanctuary. So they began with the elders who were in front of the house. Then the Lord said to them, Defile the house and fill the courts with the slain. Go. So they went out and killed in the city. Then the glory of the Lord went out from the threshold of the house and stopped above the cherubim. The cherubim lifted up their wings and rose up from the earth in my sight as they went out with the wheels behind them, beside them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the Lord, and the glory of the Lord of the God of Israel was above them. These were the living creatures that I saw underneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar. And I knew that they were cherubim. Each had four faces, each four wings, and underneath their wings something like human hands. As for what their faces were like, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the river Chebar. Each one moved straight ahead.
SPEAKER_04The word of the Lord The glory of the Lord is higher than the skies. Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time on and forever. The glory of the Lord is from the rising of the sun to its hill, the name of the Lord is to be praised. And his glory above the heavens. Who is like the Lord I God? Who is seated on who looks for on the heavens and the hood is high mask God was in Christ to reconcile the world to himself, and the good news of reconciliation he has entrusted to us.
SPEAKER_02A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew. If the brother or sister listens to you, you have regained that one. But if you are not listened to, take one or two others along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If the brother or sister refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if the offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you lose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them. The gospel of the Lord. During a house on fire, he entered the smoke-filled building after hearing that a little girl was still inside. He found her frightened and hiding under a bed. Seeing her, he gently called her name, reached out his hand, and said, Trust me, I have come to take you home. The little girl slowly reached out, took his hand, and was safely out of the burning house. Later, the firefighter said, That day I learned that people are not saved by fear alone, they are saved when someone cares enough to go after them. That story beautifully reflects today's readings. God is never indifferent when his people are in danger. He does not abandon them, he reaches out to save, to correct, and to restore. The first reading from Ezekiel is one of the most dramatic visions in the Bible. Jerusalem had become filled with injustice, idolatry, and corruption. God's people had repeatedly ignored his warnings. Before judgment falls upon the city, God commands that those who remain faithful, those who grieve over sin and long for holiness, be marked on their faithfulness, on their foreheads. They are protected because they have remained loyal to God. Later, Ezekiel witnesses another heartbreaking moment. The glory of the Lord departs from the temple. The temple was the visible sign of God's presence among his people. Yet, because of persistent sin and refusal to repent, God's glory gradually leaves. This vision is not merely about ancient Jerusalem. It is a warning for every generation. God never forces himself where he is not welcomed. Whenever selfishness, dishonesty, hatred, and indifference replace love, prayer, and justice, God's presence is pushed aside. Not because he stops loving us, but because we close our hearts to him. The responsible psalm reminds us of another truth. The glory of the Lord is higher than the skies. God's glory is greater than every human achievement, power, or success. We often chase wealth, popularity, and comfort, forgetting that true glory belongs to God alone. When we live for his glory rather than our own, our lives become peaceful and fruitful. In today's gospel, Jesus gives us a practical way of protecting that divine presence within the Christian community. He says, if your brother or sister sins against you, go and tell them their fault privately. Notice that Jesus does not encourage gossip, public humiliation or revenge. His first concern is reconciliation. His goal is not to win an argument, but to win back a brother or sister. How different our world would be if we followed this teaching of our Lord. Today, disagreements often spread through social media, family divisions, workplace politics, or parish gossip. Instead of speaking directly with the person involved, people speak to everyone else. Relationships break apart because pride replaces humility. Jesus invites us to become healers rather than division. He invites us today to love, to focus on reconciliation, forgiveness, and mercy. And as disciples of Christ, we are called to bring people back to faith, to the family of God. And that's our role as faithful disciples of Christ. May this Eucharist help us to do exactly what the Lord invites us to do. Amen. Let us bring before our God all our prayers and intentions. Let us pray for the church that together may we build the kingdom of God here on earth. We pray to the Lord.
SPEAKER_05Lord, hear our prayer.
SPEAKER_02For the world, especially for peace and unity, we pray to the Lord.
SPEAKER_05Lord, hear our prayer.
SPEAKER_02For all those in our daily TV Mass Prayer Intentions book, we pray to the Lord.
SPEAKER_05Lord, hear our prayer.
SPEAKER_02We pray this month that Mary's assumption renews our hope of one day sharing eternal life with her and her son. We pray to the Lord.
SPEAKER_05Lord, hear our prayer.
SPEAKER_02We make these prayers through Christ our Lord. Amen. Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation. For through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you, fruit of the earth and work of human hands. It will become for us the bread of life. Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation. For through your goodness we have received the wine we offer you. Through the wine and work of human hands, it will become our spiritual drink. Blessed be God forever.
unknownThank you.
SPEAKER_02Most merciful God, who were pleased to create in blessed saint the new man in your image, the old having passed away, graciously grant we pray that renewed like her, we may offer you the acceptable sacrifice of consolation through Christ our Lord. The Lord be with you. Lift up your hearts. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is truly right and just our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord Holy Father, Almighty and Eternal God. For in the saints who consecrated themselves to Christ for the sake of the kingdom of heaven, it is right to celebrate the wonders of your providence, by which you call human nature back to its original holiness and bring it to experience on this earth the gifts you promise in the new world to come.
SPEAKER_04And so, with all the angels and saints, we praise you, as without end, we acclaim holy glory comes in the name of the Lord.
SPEAKER_02You are indeed holy, O Lord, the font of all holiness. Make holy, therefore, these gifts we pray by sending down your spirit upon them like the dew fall, so that they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his passion. He took bread, and giving you thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my body, which will be given up for you. In a similar way, when the supper was ended, he took the chalice and once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying, Take this, all of you, and drink from it. For this is a chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in memory of me.
SPEAKER_04When we thished and drink things up, we proclaim your death until your common.
SPEAKER_02Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the bread of life and the chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you. Humbly we pray that partaking of the body and blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit. Remember, Lord, your church spread throughout the world and bring her to the fullness of charity, together with Leo, our Pope, Francis, our bishop, and all the clergy. Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection, and all who have died in your mercy. Welcome them into the light of your face. Have mercy on us all, we pray that with the blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with blessed Joseph, her spouse, with the blessed apostles and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages, we may merit to be called as to eternal life and may praise and glorify you through your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him and with him any. Oh God Almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours forever and ever Amen. At the sevest command informed by the divine teaching, we dare to say, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily prayer and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray from every evil. Graciously grant peace in our days, that by the help of your mercy we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles, peace I leave you, my peace I give you. Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your church, and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will, who live and reign forever and ever.
unknownAmen.
SPEAKER_02The peace of the Lord be with you always. Let us offer one another the sign of peace. Peace be with you.
SPEAKER_04Of mercy on us of God You take away the sins of the world.
SPEAKER_02Behold the Lamb of God. Behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of a lamb. Lord, I'm not worthy that you should enter unto my room. But only say the word, and my soul shall be healed.
SPEAKER_03Please join me now in this act of spiritual communion. My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this holy sacrament of the altar. I love you above all things, and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul, so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever. Amen.
SPEAKER_02Let us pray. By the power of this sacrament, Lord, we pray, lead us always in your love through the example of Blessed Jane Francis, and bring to fulfillment the good work you have begun in us until the day of Christ Jesus, who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen. The Lord be with you and with your Spirit. May Almighty God bless you, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Mass is ended. Let us go in the love of Christ.
