AI OVERVIEW: Jesus' words in the Gospel condemn outward ritual while neglecting judgment, mercy, and fidelity, insisting that faith must be seen in daily acts of mercy, love, and goodness toward others. The Eucharistic prayer recounts the Last Supper, with the bread and wine made the body and blood of Christ, and the assembly asks for unity and peace through this sacramental memorial. Prayers for the community request strength for the church, lawmakers, trauma victims, students and teachers returning to school, and the faithfully departed, and the Mass closes with a blessing as Eli goes to college.
