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 3:1-10
Peter and John were going up to the temple area for the three o’clock hour of prayer.
And a man crippled from birth was carried and placed at the gate of the temple called “the Beautiful Gate”
every day to beg for alms from the people who entered the temple.
When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms.
But Peter looked intently at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.”
He paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them.
Peter said, “I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have I give you:
in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, rise and walk.”
Then Peter took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles grew strong.
He leaped up, stood, and walked around,
and went into the temple with them,
walking and jumping and praising God.
When all the people saw the man walking and praising God, they recognized him as the one who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with amazement and astonishment at what had happened to him.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 19
R. Their message goes out through all the earth.
The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
Day pours out the word to day;
and night to night imparts knowledge.
R. Their message goes out through all the earth.
Not a word nor a discourse
whose voice is not heard;
through all the earth their voice resounds, and to the ends of the world, their message.
R. Their message goes out through all the earth.

Second Reading - Galatians 1:11-20
I want you to know, brothers and sisters,
that the Gospel preached by me is not of human origin.
For I did not receive it from a human being, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
For you heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I persecuted the Church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it, and progressed in Judaism
beyond many of my contemporaries among my race, since I was even more a zealot for my ancestral traditions.
But when God, who from my mother’s womb had set me apart and called me through his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, so that I might proclaim him to the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult flesh and blood,
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me;
rather, I went into Arabia and then returned to Damascus.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas and remained with him for fifteen days.
But I did not see any other of the Apostles, only James the brother of the Lord.
--As to what I am writing to you, behold,
before God, I am not lying.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation

you know that I love you.
R: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Gospel - John 21:15-19
Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to John.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while making a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).
Jesus had revealed himself to his disciples and, when they had finished breakfast, said to Simon Peter,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”
Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
He then said to Simon Peter a second time,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
He said to him the third time,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time,
“Do you love me?” and he said to him,
“Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands,
and someone else will dress you
and lead you where you do not want to go.”
He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God.
And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”
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.
