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.
Prayers of the Faithful
(after each prayer intention)
We pray to the Lord.
All: 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.
Amen.
LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST
Offertory Hymn - 47 - The Cry of the Poor
The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.
I will bless the Lord at all times,
With praise ever in my mouth.
Let my soul glory in the Lord,
Who will hear the cry of the poor.
The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.
Let the lowly hear and be glad:
The Lord listens to their plea;
And to hearts broken God is near,
Who will hear the cry of the poor.
The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.
Every spirit crushed, God will save;
Will Be ransom for their lives;
Will be safe shelter for their fears,
And will hear the cry of the poor.
The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.
We proclaim your greatness, O God,
Your praise very in our mouth;
Every face brightened in your light,
For you hear the cry of the poor.
The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.

O how blessed are the poor in spirit,
the kingdom of God is theirs.
O how blessed those who dwell in sorrow,

for such is the wisdom of God.

O how blessed those despised and hated,
who bear it because of me.

Communion Song 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.

Alma Redemptoris Mater
Alma Redemptóris Mater,
quae pérvia caeli porta manes,
Et stella maris,
succúrre cadénti
súrgere qui curat pópulo:
Tu quae genuísti,
natúra miránte,
tuum sanctum Genitórem:
Virgo prius ac postérius,
Gabriélis ab ore
sumens illud Ave,
peccatórum miserére.
Translation:
Kind mother of the Redeemer, who remain the open gate of heaven and the star of the sea, help your falling people who want to rise: you who bore your holy Parent, while nature marveled: a Virgin before and after, receiving that ‘Ave’ from Gabriel’s mouth, have mercy on [us] sinners.

Text: Ascr. to Hermannus Contractus, 1013–1054
Recessional Hymn - 685 - How Can I Keep from Singing?
My life flows on in endless song,
Above earth’s lamentation.
I hear the clear, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.
No storm can shake
my inmost calm
While to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord
of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear that music ringing.
It finds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord
of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
What though my joys and comforts die?
The Lord, my savior, liveth.
What though the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night he giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing!
All things are mine since I am his!
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
