Processional Hymn - 615 - Holy God, We Praise Thy Name
Holy God, we praise Thy name!
Lord of all, we bow before thee!
All on earth thy scepter claim,
All in heav’n above adore thee;
Infinite thy vast domain,
Everlasting is thy reign.
Infinite thy vast domain,
Everlasting is thy reign.Hark! the loud, celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising;
Cherubim and Seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill the heav’ns with sweet accord;
“Holy, holy, holy Lord!”
Fill the heav’ns with sweet accord;
“Holy, holy, holy Lord!”

Liturgy of the Word
First Reading - Jeremiah 38:4-6, 8-10
In those days, the princes said to the king:
"Jeremiah ought to be put to death;
he is demoralizing the soldiers who are left in this city, and all the people, by speaking such things to them; he is not interested in the welfare of our people,
but in their ruin."
King Zedekiah answered: "He is in your power";
for the king could do nothing with them.
And so they took Jeremiah and threw him into the cistern of Prince Malchiah,
which was in the quarters of the guard,
letting him down with ropes.
There was no water in the cistern, only mud, and Jeremiah sank into the mud.
Ebed-melech, a court official, went there from the palace and said to him:
"My lord king, these men have been at fault in all they have done to the prophet Jeremiah, casting him into the cistern.
He will die of famine on the spot,
for there is no more food in the city."
Then the king ordered Ebed-melech the Cushite to take three men along with him, and draw the prophet Jeremiah out of the cistern before he should die.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm -Psalm 40
R. (14b) Lord, Lord, come to my aid! Come to my aid!
I have waited, waited for the LORD,
and he stooped toward me.
R. Lord, Lord, come to my aid! Come to my aid!
The LORD heard my cry.
He drew me out of the pit of destruction,
out of the mud of the swamp;
he set my feet upon a crag;
he made firm my steps.
R. Lord, Lord, come to my aid! Come to my aid!
And he put a new song into my mouth,
a hymn to our God.
Many shall look on in awe
and trust in the LORD.
R. Lord, Lord, come to my aid! Come to my aid!
Though I am afflicted and poor,
yet the LORD thinks of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O my God, hold not back!
R. Lord, Lord, come to my aid! Come to my aid!
Second Reading -
Hebrews 12:1-4
Brothers and sisters:
Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us
and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith.
For the sake of the joy that lay before him he endured the cross, despising its shame, and has taken his seat at the right of the throne of God.
Consider how he endured such opposition from sinners, in order that you may not grow weary and lose heart.
In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation
R: Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia!
My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord;
I know them, and they follow me.

Gospel -
Luke 12:49-53
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).
Jesus said to his disciples:
"I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!
There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!
Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?
No, I tell you, but rather division.
From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three;
a father will be divided against his son
and a son against his father,
a mother against her daughter
and a daughter against her mother,
a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
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.

Offertory Song - 622 - Canticle of the Turning
My souls cries out with a joyful shout
That the God of my heart is great,
And my spirit sings
of the wondrous things
That you bring to the ones who wait.
You fixed your sight
on your servant’s plight,
And my weakness you did not spurn,
So from east to west
shall my name be blest.
Could the world be about to turn?
My heart shall sing of the day you bring,
Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears, for the dawn draws near,
And the world is about to turn!Though I am small, my God, my all,
You work great things in me,
And your mercy shall last
from the depths of the past
To the end of the age to be.
Your very name
puts the proud to shame
And to those who would for you yearn,
You will show your might,
Put the strong to flight,
For the world is about to turn.From the halls of power
to the fortress tower,
Not a stone will be left on stone.
Let the king beware
for your justice tears
Ev’ry tyrant from his throne.
The hungry poor shall weep no more
for the food they can never earn;
There are tables spread,
Ev’ry mouth be fed,
For the world is about to turn.Though the nations rage
From age to age,
We remember who holds us fast:
God’s mercy must deliver us
From the conqueror’s crushing grasp.
This saving word
that our forebears heard
Is the promise which holds us bound,
’Til the spear and rod
can be crushed by God,
Who is turning the world around.
Text: Luke 1:46-58; Rory Cooney, b.1952, © 1990, GIA Publications, Inc.

Communion Hymn - 961 - Remember Your Love
Remember your love and your faithfulness, O Lord. Remember your people and have mercy on us, Lord.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear?
The Lord is my life and my refuge; when I call God hears.If you dwelt, O Lord, upon our sinfulness, then who could stand?
But with You there is mercy and forgiveness and a guiding hand.O Lord, hear the sound of my call and answer me.
My heart cries out for Your presence; it is You I seek.As a watchman who waits upon the daylight, wait for the Lord.
I trust in your kindness and redemption; and your faithful word.Before all the mountains were begotten and earth took shape,
Even then, O Lord, You were our refuge throughout ev’ry age.

Communion Hymn 2 (if needed) - 679 - Center of My Life
O Lord, you are the center of my life
I will always praise you
I will always serve you
I will always keep you in my sight
Keep me safe, O God,
I take refuge in you.
I say to the Lord “You are my God,
My happiness lies in you alone;
my happiness lies in you alone.”I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel,
who even at night directs my heart.
I keep the Lord, ever in my sight
Since he is at my right hand, I shall stand firm.And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad
Even in safety shall my body rest
For you will not leave my soul among the dead,
Nor let your beloved know decay.You will show me the path of life,
The fullness of joy in your presence,
At your right hand, at your right hand
Happiness forever.

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 - 859 - God of Day and God of Darkness
God of day and God of darkness,
Now we stand before the night.
As the shadows stretch and deepen,
Come and make our darkness bright.
All creation still is groaning
For the dawning of your might.
When the Sun of peace and justice
Fills the earth with radiant light.
Still the nations curse the darkness,
Still the rich oppress the poor.
Still the earth is bruised and broken
By the ones who still want more.
Come and wake us from our sleeping,
So our hearts cannot ignore
All your people lost and broken,
All your children at our door.
You shall be the path that guides us;
You the light that in us burns.
Shining deep within all people,
Yours the love that we must learn.
For our hearts shall wander restless
'Til they safe to you return.
Finding you in one another,
We shall all your face discern.
Praise to you in day and darkness,
You our source and you our end;
Praise to you who love and nurture
As a father, mother, friend.
Grant us all a peaceful resting,
Let each mind and body mend,
So we rise refreshed tomorrow,
Hearts renewed to kingdom tend.
