27th Sunday in Ordinary Time - 9am

Oct 4

Written By Guest User

Welcome to Our Lady of Angels, where we strive "To love God, Embrace all People, and Share the Gospel Joyfully." Visit our website to find out more about our community.

Today we will have the Combined Rite for Entrance into the Catechumenate and of Welcoming the Candidates - an important step in the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA).

The Rite of Entrance is for those who were never baptized, while the Welcoming of Candidates is for those who were baptized, but are seeking full initiation into the Catholic Church.

This is the first public declaration these Catechumens and Candidates are making. Our parish community is called to witness their journey and to pray for them.

Introductory Rites

(please stand)

Entrance Antiphon

O Lord, you have given everything its place in the world, and no one can make it otherwise. For it is your creation, the heav’ns and the earth and the stars: you are the Lord of all.

Processional Hymn - 611 - All Creatures of Our God and King

All creatures of our God and king,
Lift up your voice and with us sing:
Alleluia, alleluia!
O burning sun with golden beam
And silver moon with softer gleam:
Sing your praises! Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
O rushing wind and breezes soft,
O clouds that ride the winds aloft:
Sing your praises! Alleluia!
O rising morn, in praise rejoice,
O lights of evening, find a voice.
Sing your praises! Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
O flowing water, pure and clear,
Make music for your Lord to hear.
Sing your praises! Alleluia!
O fire, so masterful and bright,
Providing us with warmth and light,
Sing your praises! Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Intercessions for Catechumens and Candidates

Offertory Song - 713 - Quietly, Peacefully

Quietly, peacefully
let me rest in you.
Quietly, peacefully
lead me back to you,

In my weakness I have strayed,
drifting far from you.
In your goodness steady me,
light my path to you.
Breathe your law deep in me,
plant it in my soul.
Let your justice be my song,
kindness be my goal.
Save me from my selfish ways,
keep me from my pride.
By your grace, bring me home, safely by your side.
Loving wisdom, you alone
know all I can be.
You, the hope my spirit seeks,
come and set me free.
Happy is the heart that’s free, choosing life with you.
Break the chains that bind my soul, let me walk with you.

Communion Antiphon

The Lord is good to those who hope in him, to those who are searching, searching for his love.

Communion Hymn - 930 - Taste and See

Taste and see, taste and see
the goodness of the Lord.
Oh, taste and see, taste and see
the goodness of the Lord, of the Lord.

1. I will bless the Lord at all times.
Praise shall always be on my lips;
my soul shall glory in the Lord;
for God has been so good to me!

2. Glorify the Lord with me.
Together let us all praise God's name.
I called the Lord, who answered me;
from all my troubles I was set free.

3. Worship the Lord, all you people.
You’ll want for nothing if you ask.
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
in God we need put all our trust.

Communion Song 2 - 695 - You are Near

O Lord, I know you are near, standing always at my side.
You guard me from the foe, and you lead me in ways everlasting.

1. Lord, you have searched my heart,
and you know when I sit and when I stand.
Your hand is upon me,
protecting me from death,
keeping me from harm.

2. Where can I run from your love?
If I climb to the heavens you are there;
if I fly to the sunrise or sail beyond the sea,
still I'd find you there.

3. You know my heart and its ways,
you who formed me before I was born,
in the secret of darkness
before I saw the sun,
in my mother's womb.

4. Marvelous to me are your works;
how profound are your thoughts, my Lord.
Even if I could count them,
they number as the stars,
you would still be there.

Marian Antiphon - Salve Regina

Salve Regina, Mater misericordiae,
vita, dulcedo et spes nostr, salve.
ad te clamamus
exsules filii Hevae,
ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.

Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos
misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

Recessional Hymn - 680 - We Walk by Faith

We walk by faith and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
From Him who as none e'er spoke;
But we believe Him near.

We may not touch His hands and side,
Nor follow where He trod;
But in His promise we rejoice,
And cry, “My Lord and God!”

Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
And our faith abound
To call on you when you are near,
And seek where you are found:

That, when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light
We may behold you as you are,
In full and endless sight.

We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
From Him who spoke as none e'er spoke;
But we believe Him near.
