We are using these new prayers at Mass:

Penitential Act A
I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grevious fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Reflection
 
Whatever you do for the least of my people,
you do for me.

He is a king for the poor.
They say about him he was like a shepherd
who kept all his sheep in view,
like a teacher keeping an eye on every
student in the class,
like a parent giving time to all the children,
a grandparent remembering each
grandchild.
All are important,
especially the lost, the strays, the wounded and the weak.

And when he meets us all in the final
kingdom
he'll wonder how we treated the weak, the lost and the poor.
Strange type of king;
not a collector of taxes,
not the richest one in the land,
not the one defended by his people,
but the generous one,
the one who was poor
and the one who defended his own to death.

And how do we honour him?
His own words say it all:
Whatever you do for the least of my people, you do for me.
