Opening Hymn - 745 - Christ is Made the Sure Foundation
1.Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone;
chosen of the Lord and precious,
binding all the church in one;
holy Zion's help forever,
and her confidence alone.
2. To this temple, where we call you,
come, O Lord of Hosts, today!
With your steadfast loving-kindness
hear your servants as they pray,
and yout fullest benediction
shed in all its bright array.
3. Here bestow on all your servants
What they ask of you to gain;
What they gain from you, forever
With the blessed to retain;
And hereafter in your glory
Evermore with you to reign.
4. Praise and honor to the Father,
Praise and honor to the Son,
Praise and honor to the Spirit,
Every three and ever one:
One in might and one in glory
While unending ages run!

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 - 728 - Eye Has Not Seen
Eye has not seen, ear has not heard what God has ready for those who love him;
Spirit of love, come, give us the mind of Jesus, Teach us the wisdom of God.
When pain and sorrow weigh us down, be near to us, O Lord,
Forgive the weakness of our faith, and bear us up within your peaceful word.Our lives are but a single breath, we flower and we fade,
Yet all our days are in your hands, so we return in love what love has made.To those who see with eyes of faith, the Lord is ever near,
Reflected in the faces of all the poor and lowly of the world.We sing a mystery from the past in halls where saints have trod,
Yet ever new the music rings to Jesus, Living Song of God.

Communion Hymn - Holy Bread of Eternal Life
Holy Bread of Eternal Life,
Cup of loving sacrifice,
God made visible before our eyes:
the Body and Blood of Christ.
We receive in adoration
Christ whose life is love outpoured.
Taste and see that the Lord is good!Gathered into one fam’ly,
Strengthened by this faith we share.
Taste and see that the Lord is good!Joyfully we come before him
To become what we receive.
Taste and see that the Lord is good!Strengthened by His love and mercy,
We go forth to share what we receive.
Taste and see that the Lord is good!

Communion Song 2 (if needed) - 902 - O Breathe on Me, O Breath of God
O breathe on me, O Breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love the things you love,
And do what you would do.
O breathe on me, O Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure;
Until my will is one with yours,
To do and to endure.
O breathe on me, O Breath of God,
My will to yours incline,
Until this selfish part of me
Glows with your fire divine.
O breathe on me, O Breath of God,
So I shall never die,
But live with you the perfect life
For all eternity.
Text: Edwin Hatch, 1835-1889
Ave Regina Caelorum
Ave Regina caelorum,
Ave Domina Angelorum:
Salve radix, salve porta,
Ex qua mundo lux est orta:
Gaude Virgo, gloriosa,
Super omnes speciosa,
Vale o valde decora,
Et pro nobis Christum exora.
Translation:
Hail, Queen of heaven, hail Lady of the angels. Hail root and gate from which the Light of the world was born. Rejoice glorious Virgin, fairest of all. Fare thee well, most beautiful, and pray for us to Christ.

Recessional Hymn - 694 - How Firm a Foundation
How firm a foundation,
you saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in Christ Jesus,
the Word!
What more can God say than
to you has been said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?“Fear not, I am with you,
O be not dismayed,
For I am your God,
and will still give you aid;
I'll strengthen you, help you,
and cause you to stand,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.“When through the deep waters
I call you to go,
The rivers of woe shall not you overflow;
For I will be with you,
your troubles to bless,
And sanctify to you, your deepest distress.“The soul that on Jesus
still leans for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell
should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no never, no never forsake!”
Text: 2 Peter 1:4; “K” in Rippon's A Selection of Hymns, 1787, alt.
