Processional Hymn - 884 - For All the Saints
For all the saints,
who from their labors rest,
All who by faith before the world confessed,
Your name, O Jesus, be forever blest,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
You were their rock, their fortress
and their might;
You, Lord, their Captain
in the well-fought fight;
You, in the darkness drear,
their one true light,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
O may your soldiers, faithful,
true and bold,
Fight as the saints who
nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor’s
crown of gold.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
O blest communion,
fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one
within your great design.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Text: William W. How, 1823-1897, alt.

Liturgy of the Word
First Reading - Acts 12:1-11
In those days, King Herod laid hands upon some members of the Church to harm them.
He had James, the brother of John, killed by the sword, and when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews
he proceeded to arrest Peter also.
–It was the feast of Unleavened Bread.–
He had him taken into custody and put in prison under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each.
He intended to bring him before the people after Passover.
Peter thus was being kept in prison,
but prayer by the Church was fervently being made to God on his behalf.
On the very night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter, secured by double chains, was sleeping between two soldiers, while outside the door guards kept watch on the prison.
Suddenly the angel of the Lord stood by him and a light shone in the cell.
He tapped Peter on the side and awakened him, saying,
“Get up quickly.”
The chains fell from his wrists.
The angel said to him, “Put on your belt and your sandals.”
He did so.
Then he said to him, “Put on your cloak and follow me.”
So he followed him out, not realizing that what was happening through the angel was real; he thought he was seeing a vision.
They passed the first guard, then the second, and came to the iron gate leading out to the city, which opened for them by itself.
They emerged and made their way down an alley, and suddenly the angel left him.
Then Peter recovered his senses and said,
“Now I know for certain that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people had been expecting.”
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 34
R. The angel of the Lord will rescue those who fear him.
I will bless the LORD at all times; praise of him is always in my mouth.
In the LORD my soul shall make its boasts;
the humble shall hear me and be glad.
R. The angel of the Lord will rescue those who fear him.
Glorify the LORD with me, together let us praise his name.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me; from all my terrors he set me free.
R. The angel of the Lord will rescue those who fear him.
Look toward him and be radiant;
let your faces not be abashed.
This lowly one called, the LORD heard,
and rescued him from all his distress.
R. The angel of the Lord will rescue those who fear him.
The angel of the LORD is encamped
around those who fear him, to rescue them.
Taste and see that the LORD is good.
Blessed the man who seeks refuge in him.
R. The angel of the Lord will rescue those who fear him.
Second Reading - 2 Tim. 4:6-8, 17-18
I, Paul, am already being poured out like a libation, and the time of my departure is at hand.
I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.
From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but to all who have longed for his appearance.
The Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through me the proclamation might be completed
and all the Gentiles might hear it.
And I was rescued from the lion’s mouth.
The Lord will rescue me from every evil threat and will bring me safe to his heavenly Kingdom.
To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
(please stand)

Gospel - Matthew 16:13-19
Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to Matthew.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while making a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).
When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples,
“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter said in reply,
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah.
For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.
And so I say to you, you are Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.
I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven.
Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Liturgy of the Eucharist
Offertory Hymn - 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.

One bread, one body, one Lord of all,
One cup of blessing which we bless.
And we, though many, throughout the earth,
We are one body in this one Lord.

Woman or man, no more!Many the gifts,
Many the works,
One in the Lord of all.Grain for the fields,
Scattered and grown,
Gathered to one, for all.

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.
