Processional Hymn - 688- O God, Our Help in Ages Past
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
Under the shadow of Your throne
Your saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Your arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting You are God,
To endless years the same.
A thousand ages in Your sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all our years away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op’ning day.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Still be our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.
Text: Psalm 90; Isaac Watts, 1674-1748, alt.

Liturgy of the Word
First Reading - Ecc. 1:2. 2:21-23
Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth,
vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!
Here is one who has labored with wisdom and knowledge and skill,
and yet to another who has not labored over it,
he must leave property.
This also is vanity and a great misfortune.
For what profit comes to man from all the toil and anxiety of heart
with which he has labored under the sun?
All his days sorrow and grief are his occupation;
even at night his mind is not at rest.
This also is vanity.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm -Psalm 90
R. (1) If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
You turn man back to dust and say, “Return, O children of men.”
To your eyes a thousand years
are like yesterday, come and gone,
or like a watch of the night.
R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
You sweep them away like a dream,
like grass that springs up in the morning.
In the morning, it sprouts up and is fresh;
by evening it withers and fades.
R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Then teach us to number our days,
that we may gain wisdom of heart.
Turn back, O LORD! How long?
Have pity to your servants!
R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
At dawn, fill us with your merciful love,
we shall exalt and rejoice all our days.
Let the favor of the LORD our God be upon us;
give success to the work of our hands!
O give success to the work of our hands
R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Second Reading -
Colossians 3:1-5, 9-11
Brothers and sisters:
If you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.
Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed that is idolatry.
Stop lying to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self,
which is being renewed, for knowledge,
in the image of its creator.
Here there is not Greek and Jew,
circumcision and uncircumcision,
barbarian, Scythian, slave, free;
but Christ is all and in all.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation
R: Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia!

Gospel -
Luke 12:13-21
Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to Luke.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).
Someone in the crowd said to Jesus,
“Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.”
He replied to him,
“Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?”
Then he said to the crowd,
“Take care to guard against all greed,
for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.”
Then he told them a parable.
“There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest.
He asked himself, ‘What shall I do,
for I do not have space to store my harvest?’
And he said, ‘This is what I shall do:
I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones.
There I shall store all my grain and other goods
and I shall say to myself, “Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!”’
But God said to him,
‘You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?’
Thus will it be for all who store up treasure for themselves but are not rich in what matters to God.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Homily (please sit)
Nicene Creed (please stand)
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,
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.
General Intercessions:
After each prayer, respond: Lord, hear our prayer.
Prayer for Our Lady of Angels Parish
Heavenly Father, we thank you for gathering us together and calling us to serve as your disciples.
You have charged us through your Son, Jesus, with the great mission of evangelizing and witnessing your love to the world.
Send your Holy Spirit to guide us as we discern your will for the spiritual renewal of our parish.
Give us strength, courage, and clear vision as we use our gifts to serve you.
We entrust our parish family to the care of Mary, our mother, and ask for her intercession and guidance, as we strive to build a parish that loves God, embraces all people, and shares the Gospel joyfully.

Offertory Song - 782- Only This I Want
Only this I want:
but to know the Lord,
and to bear his cross
so to wear the crown he wore.
All but this is loss,
worthless refuse to me,
for to gain the Lord
is to gain all I need.I will run the race;
I will fight the good fight,
so to win the prize
of the Kingdom of my Lord.Let your heart be glad,
always glad in the Lord,
so to shine like stars
in the darkness of the night.

Communion Hymn - 931 - Come to the Banquet
Come to the banquet, come to the feast.
Eat the Bread of Life!
Share in the singing, share in the joy.
Drink the Cup of love!
Draw near and take
the body of the Lord,
And drink with faith
the blood for you outpoured.
Saved by his body,
hallowed by his blood,
With souls refreshed,
we give our thanks to God.Our great Redeemer,
God’s eternal Son,
Has by his cross and blood
the victory won.
He spent his life
for greatest and for least.
Praise Christ, the Paschal Victim, Christ the Priest.Let us approach
with faithful hearts sincere
And claim the promise
of salvation here.
Christ rules our hearts,
and all his saints defends;
He give believers life that never ends.With heavenly bread Christ
makes the hungry whole,
His living waters
fills the thirsting soul.
Before your presence,
Lord, all people bow.
In this your feast of love
be with us now.
Come to the banquet, come to the feast.
Eat the Bread of Life!
Share in the singing, share in the joy.
Drink the Cup of love!

Communion Hymn 2 (if needed) - 650 - These Alone are Enough
Take my heart, O Lord, take my hopes and dreams.
Take my mind with all its plans and schemes.
Give me nothing more than your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.
2. Take my thoughts, O Lord, and my memory.
Take my tears, my joys, my liberty.
Give me nothing more than your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.
3. I surrender, Lord, all I have and hold.
I return to you your gifts untold.
Give me nothing more than your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.
4. When the darkness falls on my final days,
take the very breath that sang your praise.
Give me nothing more than your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.

Post-Communion Song - Salve Regina
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae,
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
ad te clamamus
exsules filii Evae,
ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos
misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

Recessional Hymn - 766 - City of God
Awake from your slumber
Arise from your sleep
A new day is dawning
For all those who weep
The people in darkness
Have seen a great light
The lord of our longing
Has conquered the night
Let us build the city of God
May our tears
Be turned into dancing
For the lord
Our light and our love
Has turned the night into day
