READING I (Gn 9:8-15) -sit-
               

L.  A reading from the Book of Genesis
                       
God said to Noah and to his sons with him:
"See, I am now establishing my covenant with you
and your descendants after you
and with every living creature that was with you:
all the birds, and the various tame and wild animals
that were with you and came out of the ark.
I will establish my covenant with you,
that never again shall all bodily creatures be destroyed
by the waters of a flood;
there shall not be another flood to devastate the earth."
God added:
"This is the sign that I am giving for all ages to come,
of the covenant between me and you
and every living creature with you:
I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign
of the covenant between me and the earth.
When I bring clouds over the earth,
and the bow appears in the clouds,
I will recall the covenant I have made
between me and you and all living beings,
so that the waters shall never again become a flood
to destroy all mortal beings."
                  
L. The word of the Lord.
P. Thanks be to God
     
Sesudah air bah berfirmanlah Allah kepada Nuh dan kepada anak-anak Nuh yang bersama-sama dengan dia, “Camkanlah, Aku mengadakan perjanjian dengan kamu dan keturunanmu, dan dengan segala makhluk hidup yang ada besertamu, yakni burung-burung, ternak dan binatang-binatang liar di bumi, segala yang keluar dari bahteramu, segala binatang di bumi. Maka Kuadakan perjanjian-Ku dengan kamu, bahwa sejak kini segala yang hidup takkan dilenyapkan oleh air bah lagi dan tidak akan ada lagi air bah untuk memusnahkan bumi.” Dan Allah berfirman, “Inilah tanda perjanjian yang Kuadakan antara Aku dan kamu serta segala makhluk hidup yang ada sertamu turun temurun untuk selama-lamanya: Busur-Ku akan Kutempatkan di awan sebagai tanda perjanjian antara Aku dan bumi. Apabila kemudian Kudatangkan awan di atas bumi dan busur itu tampak di awan, maka Aku akan mengingat perjanjian-Ku yang telah Kuadakan dengan kamu dan dengan segala makhluk yang hidup, segala yang bernyawa, sehingga segenap air tidak lagi menjadi air bah untuk memusnahkan segala yang hidup.”
        
RESPONSORIAL PSALM (Ps 25:4b-5ab.6-7ab.8-9) -sit-
Refrein: 


1.Your ways, O LORD, make known to me;
teach me your paths,
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my savior.
2. Remember that your compassion, O LORD,
and your love are from of old.
In your kindness remember me,
because of your goodness, O LORD.
3. Good and upright is the LORD,
thus he shows sinners the way.
He guides the humble to justice,
and he teaches the humble his way.
    
Ulangan: Jalanmu, ya Tuhan, adalah cinta dan kebenaran bagi mereka yang mematuhi perjanjianmu.
1. Tunjukkanlah lorong-lorong-Mu kepadaku, ya Tuhan, bawalah aku berjalan dalam kebenaran-Mu dan ajarlah aku, sebab Engkaulah Allah yang menyelamatkan aku, Engkau kunanti-nantikan sepanjang hari.
2. Ingatlah segala rahmat dan kasih-setia-Mu, ya Tuhan, sebab semuanya itu sudah ada sejak purbakala. Tetapi ingatlah kepadaku sesuai dengan kasih setia-Mu, oleh karena kebaikan-Mu, ya Tuhan.
3. Tuhan itu baik dan benar, sebab itu Ia menunjukkan jalan kepada orang yang sesat. Ia membimbing orang-orang yang rendah hati menurut hukum, dan mengajarkan jalan-jalan-Nya kepada orang-orang yang bersahaja.    

READING II (1Pt 3:18-22) -sit-
                          

L. A reading from the first Letter of Peter:
                                                                                                
Beloved:
Christ suffered for sins once,
the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous,
that he might lead you to God.
Put to death in the flesh,
he was brought to life in the Spirit.
In it he also went to preach to the spirits in prison,
who had once been disobedient
while God patiently waited in the days of Noah
during the building of the ark,
in which a few persons, eight in all,
were saved through water.
This prefigured baptism, which saves you now.
It is not a removal of dirt from the body
but an appeal to God for a clear conscience,
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
who has gone into heaven
and is at the right hand of God,
                                
L. The word of the Lord.
P. Thanks be to God                  
        
Saudara-saudaraku terkasih, Kristus telah mati satu kali untuk segala dosa kita. Ia yang benar telah mati untuk orang-orang yang tidak benar, supaya Ia membawa kita kepada Allah; Ia telah dibunuh dalam keadaan-Nya sebagai manusia, tetapi dibangkitkan menurut Roh, dan di dalam Roh itu juga Ia pergi memberitakan Injil kepada roh-roh yang di dalam penjara, yaitu roh-roh mereka yang pada masa Nuh tidak taat kepada Allah, ketika Allah tetap menanti dengan sabar waktu Nuh sedang mempersiapkan bahteranya, di mana hanya sedikit, yaitu delapan orang, yang diselamatkan dari air bah itu. Air itu melambangkan pembaptisan yang kini menyelamatkan kamu, bukan dengan membersihkan kenajisan jasmani, melainkan dengan memohonkan hati nurani yang baik kepada Allah berkat kebangkitan Yesus Kristus, yang telah naik ke surga dan kini duduk di sebelah kanan Allah, setelah Ia menaklukkan segala malaikat, kuasa dan kekuatan kepada-Nya.

Sekali peristiwa Roh memimpin Yesus ke padang gurun. Di padang gurun itu Ia tinggal empat puluh hari lamanya dan dicobai oleh Iblis. Yesus berada di sana di antara binatang-binatang liar, dan malaikat-malaikat melayani Dia. Sesudah Yohanes Pembaptis ditangkap, datanglah Yesus ke Galilea memberitakan Injil Allah. Yesus memberitakan, “Waktunya telah genap. Kerajaan Allah sudah dekat. Bertobatlah dan percayalah kepada Injil!”

CREED (Nicea) -stand-  
C + P: I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
At the words that follow, up to and including and became man, all bow.

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen

You are indeed Holy, O Lord, and all you have created rightly gives you praise, for through your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, by the power and working of the Holy Spirit, you give life to all things and make them holy, and you never cease to gather a people to yourself, so that from the rising of the sun to its setting a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name.

that they may become the Body and (+) Blood of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,  at whose command we celebrate these mysteries.  
       
For on the night he was betrayed he himself took bread, and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing, broke the bread 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 supper was ended, he took the chalice, and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing, and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying:
     
Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this is the 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.

May he make of us an eternal offering to you, so that we may obtain an inheritance with your elect, especially with the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs (with Saint N.: the Saint of the day or Patron Saint) and with all the Saints, on whose constant intercession in your presence we rely for unfailing help.
