First Reading -
Ez. 34:11-12, 15-17

Thus says the Lord GOD:
I myself will look after and tend my sheep.
As a shepherd tends his flock
when he finds himself among his scattered sheep, so will I tend my sheep.
I will rescue them from every place where they were scattered when it was cloudy and dark.
I myself will pasture my sheep;
I myself will give them rest, says the Lord GOD.
The lost I will seek out,
the strayed I will bring back,
the injured I will bind up,
the sick I will heal,
but the sleek and the strong I will destroy,
shepherding them rightly.

As for you, my sheep, says the Lord GOD,
I will judge between one sheep and another, between rams and goats.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm -
Ps. 23

R. The Lord is my Shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.



Second Reading -
1 Cor. 15:20-26, 28

Brothers and sisters:
Christ has been raised from the dead,
the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
For since death came through man,
the resurrection of the dead came also through man.
For just as in Adam all die,
so too in Christ shall all be brought to life,
but each one in proper order:
Christ the firstfruits;
then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ;
then comes the end,
when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has destroyed every sovereignty and every authority and power.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
When everything is subjected to him,
then the Son himself will also be subjected
to the one who subjected everything to him,
so that God may be all in all.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation

R: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Gospel -
Mt. 25:31-46

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 make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

Jesus said to his disciples:
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory,
and all the angels with him,
he will sit upon his glorious throne,
and all the nations will be assembled before him.
And he will separate them one from another,
as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
Then the king will say to those on his right,
'Come, you who are blessed by my Father.
Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
a stranger and you welcomed me,
naked and you clothed me,
ill and you cared for me,
in prison and you visited me.'
Then the righteous will answer him and say,
'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?'
And the king will say to them in reply,
'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did
for one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Then he will say to those on his left,
'Depart from me, you accursed,
into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
For I was hungry and you gave me no food,
I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
a stranger and you gave me no welcome,
naked and you gave me no clothing,
ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.'
Then they will answer and say,
'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?'
He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you,
what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.'
And these will go off to eternal punishment,
but the righteous to eternal life."

The Gospel of the Lord.

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

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. Amen.

General Intercessions:

After each prayer, respond: Lord, hear our prayer.

Offertory Song - Shepherd Me, O God

Shepherd me, God,

I walk by the quiet waters of peace.

2. Gently you raise me and heal my weary soul,
you lead me by pathways of righteousness and truth,
my spirit shall sing the music of your name.

3. Though I should wander the valley of death,
I fear no evil, for you are at my side,
your rod and your staff, my comfort and my hope.

4. You have set me a banquet of love in the face of hatred,
crowning me with love beyond my pow'r to hold.

The Name of Jesus Christ my King

So Jesus You brought heaven down
My sin was great Your love was greater
What could separate us now

What a wonderful Name it is
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a wonderful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
What a wonderful Name it is

The veil tore before You
You silence the boast of sin and grave
The heavens are roaring
The praise of Your glory
For You are raised to life again


You have no rival
You have no equal
Now and forever God You reign
Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the glory
Yours is the Name above all names

What a powerful Name it is
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a powerful Name it is
Nothing can stand against
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus


What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus


Closing Song -
This is Amazing Grace

    sin and darkness
    Whose love is mighty and
    so much stronger
    The King of Glory
    the King above all kings

    with holy thunder
    And leaves us breathless
    in awe and wonder
    The King of Glory
    the King above all kings

    (Yeah) (Oh) This is amazing grace
    This is unfailing love
    That You would take my place
    That You would bear my cross
    You laid down Your life
    That I would be set free
    Oh Jesus I sing for
    all that You've done for me

  3. Who brings our chaos back into order
    Who makes the orphan
    a son and daughter
    The King of Glory
    The King above all kings

  4. Who rules the nations
    with truth and justice

    Shines like the sun
    in all of its brilliance

    The King of Glory
    the King above all kings

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy worthy worthy

Processional Hymn - 574 - Crown Him with Many Crowns

Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne.
Hark! How the heav’nly anthem drowns
All music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him who set us free,
And hail Him as your heav’nly King
Through all eternity.

Crown Him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o’er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died, eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.

Crown Him the Lord of love,
Behold His hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye
At mysteries so bright.

Crown Him the Lord of peace,
Whose pow’r a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
Absorbed by prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end,
And round His pierc-èd feet
Fair flowers of paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.



Greeting:

Priest: The Lord be with you.

ALL: And with your spirit.

Kyrie:

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Lord, Jesus Christ,

Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
You take away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us.
You take away the sins of the world,
Receive our prayer;
You are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.

Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!

For you alone are the Holy One,
You alone are the Lord,
You alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,

Offertory Song - 628 - You, Lord, are Both Lamb and Shepherd

You, Lord, are both Lamb and Shepherd,
You, Lord, are both prince and slave.
You, peacemaker and swordbringer
Of the way you took and gave.
You, the everlasting instant;
You, whom we both scorn and crave.

Clothed in light upon a mountain,
Stripped of might upon the cross.
Shining in eternal glory,
Beggar’d by a soldier’s toss.
You, the everlasting instant;
You, who are both gift and cost.

You, who walk each day beside us,
Sit in power at God’s side.
You, who preach a way that’s narrow,
Have a love that reaches wide.
You, the everlasting instant;
You, who are our pilgrim guide.

Worthy is our earthly Jesus!
Worthy is our cosmic Christ!
Worthy your defeat and vict’ry.
Worthy still your peace and strife.
You, the everlasting instant;
You, who are our death and life.

Communion Hymn - At the Name of Jesus

At the name of Jesus
Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess him
King of Glory now.
’Tis the Father’s pleasure
We should call him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.


Humbled for a season
To receive a name
From the lips of sinners
Unto which he came.
Faithfully he bore it,
Spotless to the last;
Brought it back victorious
When through death he passed.

Bore it up triumphant
With its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures
To the central height,
To the throne of Godhead,
To the Father’s breast,
Filled it with the glory
Of that perfect rest.

In your hearts enthrone him,
There let him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true.
Crown him as your Captain
In temptation’s hour;
Let his will enfold you
In its light and pow’r.

Jesus, Lord and Savior,
Shall return again,
With His Father’s glory
O’er the earth to reign.
For all wreaths of Empire
Meet upon his brow;
Let our hearts confess him
King of Glory now.




Closing Hymn - 573 - To Jesus Christ, Our Sovereign King

To Jesus Christ, our Sov’reign King,
Who is the world’s salvation,
All praise and homage do we bring,
And thanks and adoration.
Christ Jesus Victor, Christ Jesus Ruler!
Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer!

Your reign extend, O King benign,
To ev’ry land and nation,
For in Your kingdom, Lord divine,
Alone we find salvation.
Christ Jesus Victor, Christ Jesus Ruler!
Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer!

To You and to Your Church, great King,
We pledge our hearts’ oblation,
Until before Your throne we sing,
In endless jubilation.
Christ Jesus Victor, Christ Jesus Ruler!
Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer!

Thanksgiving

Processional Hymn - 635 - Let All Things Now Living

Let all things now living
a song of thanksgiving
To God the creator
triumphantly raise.
Who fashioned and made us,
protected and stayed us,
And guides us with care
to the end of our days.
God's banners are o'er us, God’s light goes before us,
A pillar of fire shining forth in the night.
Till shadows have vanished
and darkness is banished
As forward we travel from light into light.

God rules all the forces,
the stars in their courses
And sun in its orbit obediently shine;
The hills and the mountains,
the rivers and fountains,
The deeps of the ocean
proclaim God divine.
We too should be voicing
our love and rejoicing;
With glad adoration
a song let us raise
Till all things now living
unite in thanksgiving:
”To God in the highest,
hosanna and praise!”

First Reading - 1 Kings 8:55-61

King Solomon stood and blessed the whole congregation of Israel, saying in a loud voice: “Blessed be the LORD who has given rest to his people Israel, just as he promised. Not a single word has gone unfulfilled of the entire generous promise he made through his servant Moses. May the LORD, our God, be with us as he was with our fathers and may he not forsake us nor cast us off. May he draw our hearts to himself, that we may follow him in everything and keep the commands, statutes, and ordinances that he enjoined on our fathers. May this prayer I have offered to the LORD, our God, be present to the him day and night, that he may uphold the cause of his servant and of his people Israel as each day requires, so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God and there is no other. Your heart must be wholly devoted to the LORD, our God, observing his statutes and keeping his commandments, as on this day.”

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm -
Psalm 138

R. Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.

I will give thanks to you, O Lord,
with all my heart,
for you have heard the words of my mouth;
in the presence of the angels
I will sing your praise;
I will worship at your holy temple,
and give thanks to your name.


R. Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.
Because of your kindness and your truth
for you have made great above all things
your name and your promise
When I called, you answered me
You built up strength within me.


R. Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.
The Lord is exalted, yet the lowly he sees,
and the proud he knows from afar.
Though I walk amid distress,
you preserve me.
amidst the anger of my enemies,
you raise your hand.


R. Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.
Your right hand saves me;
The Lord will complete what
he has done for me.
Your kindness, O Lord, ensures forever;
forsake not the work of your hand.

R. Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.

Second Reading - Col. 3:12-17

Brothers and sisters:
Put on, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved,
heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,
bearing with one another and forgiving one another,
if one has a grievance against another;
as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.
And over all these put on love,
that is, the bond of perfection.
And let the peace of Christ control your hearts,
the peace into which you were also called in one body.
And be thankful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,
as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another,
singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs
with gratitude in your hearts to God.
And whatever you do, in word or in deed,
do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Gospel -
John 15:9-17

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 make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

Jesus said to his disciples:
“As the Father loves me, so I also love you.
Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept my Father’s commandments
and remain in his love.

“I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy might be complete.
This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
No one has greater love than this,
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command you.
I no longer call you slaves,
because a slave does not know what his master is doing.
I have called you friends,
because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.
It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,
so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
This I command you: love one another.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

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. Amen.

1. All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell;

Without our aid he did us make.
We are his folk, he does us feed,
And for his sheep he does us take.

Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his Name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

And still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us,
Preserve us in his grace,
And guide us when in distress,
And free us from all harm
Till heaven we possess.

All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son and him who reigns,
With them in highest heaven
The one eternal God,
Whom heav’n and earth adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

First Reading -
Prov. 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31

When one finds a worthy wife,
her value is far beyond pearls.
Her husband, entrusting his heart to her,
has an unfailing prize.
She brings him good, and not evil,
all the days of her life.
She obtains wool and flax
and works with loving hands.
She puts her hands to the distaff,
and her fingers ply the spindle.
She reaches out her hands to the poor,
and extends her arms to the needy.
Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting;
the woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her a reward for her labors,
and let her works praise her at the city gates.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm -
Ps. 128

R. Blessed are those who fear the Lord.


Blessed are all who fear the LORD,
and walk in his ways!
By the labor of your hands you shall eat;
you will be blessed and prosper.
R. Blessed are those who fear the Lord.


Your wife like a fruitful vine
in the heart of your house;
Your children like shoots of the olive
around your table.
R. Blessed are those who fear the Lord.


Indeed thus shall be blest
the man who fears the LORD.
May the LORD bless you from Sion:
may you see Jerusalem prosper
all the days of your life!
R. Blessed are those who fear the Lord.

Second Reading -
1 Thes. 5:1-6

Concerning times and seasons, brothers and sisters, you have no need for anything to be written to you.
For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come
like a thief at night.
When people are saying, "Peace and security, "
then sudden disaster comes upon them,
like labor pains upon a pregnant woman,
and they will not escape.

But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness, for that day to overtake you like a thief.
For all of you are children of the light
and children of the day.
We are not of the night or of darkness.
Therefore, let us not sleep as the rest do,
but let us stay alert and sober.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to John.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

Jesus told his disciples this parable:
"A man going on a journey
called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them.
To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one--
to each according to his ability.
Then he went away.
Immediately the one who received five talents went and traded with them,
and made another five.
Likewise, the one who received two made another two.
But the man who received one went off and dug a hole in the ground
and buried his master's money.

"After a long time
the master of those servants came back
and settled accounts with them.
The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five.
He said, 'Master, you gave me five talents.
See, I have made five more.'
His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's joy.'
Then the one who had received two talents also came forward and said,
'Master, you gave me two talents.
See, I have made two more.'
His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant.
Since you were faithful in small matters,
I will give you great responsibilities.
Come, share your master's joy.'
Then the one who had received the one talent came forward and said,
'Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did not plant
and gathering where you did not scatter;
so out of fear I went off and buried your talent in the ground. Here it is back.'
His master said to him in reply, 'You wicked, lazy servant!
So you knew that I harvest where I did not plant and gather where I did not scatter?
Should you not then have put my money in the bank so that I could have got it back with interest on my return?
Now then! Take the talent from him and give it to the one with ten.
For to everyone who has,
more will be given and he will grow rich;
but from the one who has not,
even what he has will be taken away.
And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.'"

The Gospel of the Lord.

Then he went away.
Immediately the one who received five talents went and traded with them,
and made another five.
Likewise, the one who received two made another two.
But the man who received one went off and dug a hole in the ground
and buried his master's money.

"After a long time
the master of those servants came back
and settled accounts with them.
The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five.
He said, 'Master, you gave me five talents.
See, I have made five more.'
His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's joy.'
Then the one who had received two talents also came forward and said,
'Master, you gave me two talents.
See, I have made two more.'
His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant.
Since you were faithful in small matters,
I will give you great responsibilities.
Come, share your master's joy.'
Then the one who had received the one talent came forward and said,
'Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did not plant
and gathering where you did not scatter;
so out of fear I went off and buried your talent in the ground. Here it is back.'
His master said to him in reply, 'You wicked, lazy servant!
So you knew that I harvest where I did not plant and gather where I did not scatter?
Should you not then have put my money in the bank so that I could have got it back with interest on my return?
Now then! Take the talent from him and give it to the one with ten.
For to everyone who has,
more will be given and he will grow rich;
but from the one who has not,
even what he has will be taken away.
And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.'"

The Gospel of the Lord.

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

  1. I want to walk as a child of the light.
    I want to follow Jesus.

    The Lamb is the light
    of the city of God.
    Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.

    I want to look at Jesus.
    Clear sun of righteousness
    shine on my path,
    And show me the way to the Father.

    When we have run with
    patience the race,
    We shall know the joy of Jesus.

First Reading -
Wisdom 6:12-16

Resplendent and unfading is wisdom,
and she is readily perceived by those who love her, and found by those who seek her.
She hastens to make herself known in anticipation of their desire;
Whoever watches for her at dawn shall not be disappointed, for he shall find her sitting by his gate.
For taking thought of wisdom is the perfection of prudence,
and whoever for her sake keeps vigil
shall quickly be free from care;
because she makes her own rounds, seeking those worthy of her, and graciously appears to them in the ways, and meets them with all solicitude.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm -
Ps. 63

R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord, my God.


Second Reading -
1 Thes. 4:13-18

We do not want you to be unaware,
brothers and sisters,
about those who have fallen asleep,
so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose,
so too will God, through Jesus,
bring with him those who have
fallen asleep.
Indeed, we tell you this,
on the word of the Lord,
that we who are alive,
who are left until the coming of the Lord,
will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord himself, with a word of command,
with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God,
will come down from heaven,
and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive, who are left,
will be caught up together
with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air.
Thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore, console one
another with these words.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

Jesus told his disciples this parable:
"The kingdom of heaven will be
like ten virgins
who took their lamps and
went out to meet the bridegroom.
Five of them were foolish and
five were wise.
The foolish ones, when taking their lamps,
brought no oil with them,
but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps.
Since the bridegroom was long delayed,
they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
At midnight, there was a cry,
'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'
Then all those virgins got up
and trimmed their lamps.
The foolish ones said to the wise,
'Give us some of your oil,
for our lamps are going out.'
But the wise ones replied,
'No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.'
While they went off to buy it,
the bridegroom came
and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him.
Then the door was locked.
Afterwards the other virgins came and said,
'Lord, Lord, open the door for us!'
But he said in reply,
'Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.'
Therefore, stay awake,
for you know neither the day nor the hour."

Communion Song- Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)

  1. Amazing grace how sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me
    I once was lost but now I'm found
    Was blind but now I see

  2. 'Twas grace that taught
    my heart to fear
    And grace my fears relieved
    How precious did that grace appear
    The hour I first believed

    My chains are gone I've been set free
    My God my Savior has ransomed me
    And like a flood His mercy rains
    Unending love amazing grace

  3. The Lord has promised good to me
    His word my hope secures
    He will my shield and portion be
    As long as life endures

  4. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
    The sun forbear to shine
    But God who called me here below
    Will be forever mine
    Will be forever mine
    You are forever mine


Closing Song - Holy is the Lord

  1. We stand and lift up our hands
    For the joy of the Lord is our strength
    We bow down and worship Him now
    How great how awesome is He

And together we sing
Ev'ryone sing

Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
The earth is filled with His glory

It is rising up all around
It's the anthem of the Lord's renown
It's rising up all around
It's the anthem of the Lord's renown

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. Amen.

General Intercessions:

After each prayer, respond: Lord, hear our prayer.

Offertory Song - 712 - The King of Love My Shepherd Is

1. The King of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness fails me never;
I nothing lack if I am his,
And he is mine for ever.

2. Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul he's leading,
And, where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feeding.

3. Confused and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.

4. In death's dark vale I fear no ill
With you, dear Lord, beside me,
Your rod and staff my comfort still,
Your cross before to guide me.

5. You spread a table in my sight,
Your saving grace bestowing;
And, oh, what transport of delight
From your pure chalice flowing!

6. And so, through all the length of days Your goodness fails me never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing your praise Within your house for ever.

Communion Hymn - 945 - I Am the Bread of Life

I am the bread of life
You who come to Me shall not hunger
And who believe in Me shall not thirst
No one can come to Me
Unless the Father beckons
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day

The bread that I will give
Is My flesh for the life of the world
And if you eat of this bread
You shall live forever
You shall live forever
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day

I am the resurrection
I am the life
If you believe in Me
Even though you die
You shall live forever
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day

Yes Lord I believe
That You are the Christ
The Son of God
Who has come
Into the world
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day




Closing Hymn - 539 - Sing with All the Saints

Sing with all the saints in glory,
Sing the resurrection song!
Death and sorrow, earth's dark story,
To the former days belong.
All around the clouds are breaking,
Soon the storms of time shall cease;
In God's likeness we awaken,
Knowing everlasting peace.

O what glory, far exceeding
All that eye has yet perceived!
Holiest hearts, for ages pleading,
Never that full joy conceived.
God has promised, Christ prepares it,
There on high our welcome waits.
Ev’ry humble spirit shares it;
Christ has passed th'eternal gates.

Life eternal! heav’n rejoices;
Jesus lives, who once was dead.
Shout with joy, O deathless voices;
Child of God, lift up your head!
Patriarchs from the distant ages,
Saints all longing for their heav’n,
Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages,
All await the glory giv’n.

Life eternal! O what wonders
Crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
When, amid earth's closing thunders,
Saints shall stand before the throne!
Oh, to enter that bright portal,
See that glowing firmament;
Know, with you, O God Immortal,
Jesus Christ whom you have sent!

Opening Song - Hosanna (Whom Shall I Fear)

  1. You hear me when I call
    You are my morning song
    Though darkness fills the night
    It cannot hide the light
    Whom shall I fear
    You crush the enemy underneath
    my feet
    You are my sword and shield
    Though troubles linger still
    Whom shall I fear

I know Who goes before me
I know Who stands behind
The God of angel armies
is always by my side
The One who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
is always by my side

2. My strength is in Your name
For You alone can save
You will deliver me
Yours is the victory
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear

First Reading -
Mal. 1:14b-2:2b, 8, 10

A great King am I, says the LORD of hosts,
and my name will be feared among the nations.
And now, O priests, this commandment is for you:
If you do not listen, if you do not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the LORD of hosts, I will send a curse upon you
and of your blessing I will make a curse.
You have turned aside from the way,
and have caused many to falter by your instruction; you have made void the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
I, therefore, have made you contemptible
and base before all the people,
since you do not keep my ways,
but show partiality in your decisions.
Have we not all the one father?
Has not the one God created us?
Why then do we break faith with one another, violating the covenant of our fathers?

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm -
Ps. 131

R. In you, Lord, I have found my peace.


Second Reading -
1 Thes. 2:7b-9, 13

Brothers and sisters:
We were gentle among you, as a nursing mother cares for her children.
With such affection for you, we were determined to share with you
not only the gospel of God, but our very selves as well, so dearly beloved had you become to us.
You recall, brothers and sisters, our toil and drudgery.
Working night and day in order not to burden any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

And for this reason we too give thanks to God unceasingly, that, in receiving the word of God from hearing us,
you received not a human word but, as it truly is, the word of God,
which is now at work in you who believe.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation

R: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Gospel -
Mt. 23:1-12

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 make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying,
"The scribes and the Pharisees
have taken their seat on the chair of Moses.
Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you,
but do not follow their example.
For they preach but they do not practice.
They tie up heavy burdens hard to carry
and lay them on people's shoulders,
but they will not lift a finger to move them.
All their works are performed to be seen.
They widen their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
They love places of honor at banquets, seats of honor in synagogues, greetings in marketplaces, and the salutation 'Rabbi.'
As for you, do not be called 'Rabbi.'
You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers.
Call no one on earth your father;
you have but one Father in heaven.
Do not be called 'Master';
you have but one master, the Christ.
The greatest among you must be your servant.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled;
but whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

The Gospel of the Lord.

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Homily (please sit)

Nicene Creed (please stand)

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,

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

Offertory Song - Come as You Are

Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

Processional Hymn - 859 - God of Day and God of Darkness

God of day and God of darkness, 
Now we stand before the night. 
As the shadows stretch and deepen, 
Come and make our darkness bright. 
All creation still is groaning 
For the dawning of your might. 
When the Sun of peace and justice 
Fills the earth with radiant light. 

Still the nations curse the darkness, 
Still the rich oppress the poor. 
Still the earth is bruised and broken 
By the ones who still want more. 
Come and wake us from our sleeping, 
So our hearts cannot ignore 
All your people lost and broken, 
All your children at our door. 

You shall be the path that guides us; 
You the light that in us burns. 
Shining deep within all people, 
Yours the love that we must learn. 
For our hearts shall wander restless 
'Til they safe to you return. 
Finding you in one another, 
We shall all your face discern.

Praise to you in day and darkness,
You our source and you are end;
Praise to you who love and nurture
As a father, mother, friend.
Grant us all a peaceful resting,
Let each mind and body mend,
So we rise refreshed tomorrow,
Hearts renewed to kingdom tend.




Greeting:

Priest: The Lord be with you.

ALL: And with your spirit.

Lord, have mercy.

O Lord, you are the center of my life
I will always praise you

    Since he is at my right hand, I shall stand firm.

    Even in safety shall my body rest
    For you will not leave my soul among the dead,

Draw near, draw near!
Drink the Blood for you outpoured.

  1. Draw near and take
    the Body of the Lord,
    and drink with faith
    the Blood for you outpoured.
    Saved by Christ’s Body
    and his holy Blood,
    with souls refreshed we give our thanks to God.

  2. Christ our Redeemer,
    God’s eternal Son,
    has by his cross and blood
    the vict’ry won.

    and claim the promise
    of salvation here.
    Christ rules our hearts,
    and all his saints defends;
    he gives believers life that never ends.

  4. With heav’nly bread Christ
    makes the hungry whole;
    his living water fills the thirsting soul.

Closing Hymn - 636 - Now Thank We All Our God

Now thank we all our God
With hearts and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,
In whom his world rejoices;
Who from our mothers' arms
Has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us,
Preserve us in his grace,
And guide us when in distress,
And free us from all harm
Till heaven we possess.

All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son and him who reigns,
With them in highest heaven
The one eternal God,
Whom heav’n and earth adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

First Reading - Rev. 7:2-4, 9-14

I, John, saw another angel come up from the East,
holding the seal of the living God.
He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels
who were given power to damage the land and the sea, “Do not damage the land or the sea or the trees until we put the seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
I heard the number of those who had been marked with the seal, one hundred and forty-four thousand marked from every tribe of the children of Israel. After this I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue. They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne,  and from the Lamb.”

All the angels stood around the throne
and around the elders and the four living creatures. They prostrated themselves before the throne, worshiped God, and exclaimed: “Amen.  Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanksgiving,
 honor, power, and might be to our God forever and ever.  Amen.” Then one of the elders spoke up and said to me, “Who are these wearing white robes, and where did they come from?”
I said to him, “My lord, you are the one who knows.”
He said to me, “These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb.”

Responsorial Psalm -
Psalm 24

R. O God, this is the people that longs to see your face. (2x)


All the earth is yours, O God;
the world and those who dwell on it.
You founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.
R. O God, this is the people that longs to see your face. (2x)


Who can ascend your mountain, God?
or who may stand in this holy place?
Those whose hands are sinless, hearts are clean,
and desire not the vanity of earth.


R. O God, this is the people that longs to see your face. (2x)
They shall receive your blessing, God,
their savior shall reward them
Such is the face that seeks for you,
that seeks your face, O God of Jacob.
R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.

Second Reading - 1 John 3:1-3

Beloved:
See what love the Father has bestowed on us
that we may be called the children of God.
Yet so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
Beloved, we are God’s children now;
what we shall be has not yet been revealed.
We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope based on him makes himself pure, as he is pure.

Gospel Acclamation

R: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
And I will give you rest, says the Lord.

ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying:

    “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.  Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you. and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.

Recessional Hymn - 539 - Sing with All the Saints in Glory

Sing with all the saints in glory,
Sing the resurrection song!
Death and sorrow, earth's dark story,
To the former days belong.
All around the clouds are breaking,
Soon the storms of time shall cease;
In God's likeness we awaken,
Knowing everlasting peace.

O what glory, far exceeding
All that eye has yet perceived!
Holiest hearts, for ages pleading,
Never that full joy conceived.
God has promised, Christ prepares it,
There on high our welcome waits.
Ev’ry humble spirit shares it;
Christ has passed th'eternal gates.

Life eternal! heav’n rejoices;
Jesus lives, who once was dead.
Shout with joy, O deathless voices;
Child of God, lift up your head!
Patriarchs from the distant ages,
Saints all longing for their heav’n,
Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages,
All await the glory giv’n.

Life eternal! O what wonders
Crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
When, amid earth's closing thunders,
Saints shall stand before the throne!
Oh, to enter that bright portal,
See that glowing firmament;
Know, with you, O God Immortal,
Jesus Christ whom you have sent!

First Reading -
Ex. 22:20-26

Thus says the LORD:
"You shall not molest or oppress an alien,
for you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt.
You shall not wrong any widow or orphan.
If ever you wrong them and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry.
My wrath will flare up, and I will kill you with the sword; then your own wives will be widows, and your children orphans.

"If you lend money to one of your poor neighbors among my people,
you shall not act like an extortioner toward him by demanding interest from him.
If you take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge, you shall return it to him before sunset; for this cloak of his is the only covering he has for his body.
What else has he to sleep in?
If he cries out to me, I will hear him; for I am compassionate."

You know what sort of people we were among you for your sake.
And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in great affliction, with joy from the Holy Spirit,
so that you became a model for all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.
For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith in God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.
For they themselves openly declare about us
what sort of reception we had among you,
and how you turned to God from idols
to serve the living and true God
and to await his Son from heaven,
whom he raised from the dead,
Jesus, who delivers us from the coming wrath.

The Word of the Lord.

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law tested him by asking,
"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
He said to him,
"You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

The Gospel of the Lord.

    Drowned it underneath the crimson spill

    Your love is like an arrow
    straight and true
    Now this rebel heart

    Hold me 'til my best defenses fall

I will put my trust in You alone
And I will not be shaken

    We're all broken
    but we're all in this together
    God knows we stumble and fall
    And He so loved the world
    He sent His son to save us all

Blessed are the poor in spirit
who are torn apart
Blessed are the persecuted
and the pure in heart
Blessed are the people hungry
for another start
For theirs is the kingdom
the kingdom of God

What else has he to sleep in?
If he cries out to me, I will hear him; for I am compassionate."

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

my shield, my saving strength,
my stronghold!
I cried out, “Praise be the Lord!”
and see, I am saved from my foes.
R. I love you, Lord, my strength, my strength.


The LORD lives and blest be my Rock!
May the God of my salvation be exalted.
The Lord gives great victories to his king,

Second Reading -
I Thess. 1:5c-10

Brothers and sisters:
You know what sort of people we were among you for your sake.
And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in great affliction, with joy from the Holy Spirit,
so that you became a model for all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.
For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith in God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.
For they themselves openly declare about us
what sort of reception we had among you,
and how you turned to God from idols
to serve the living and true God
and to await his Son from heaven,
whom he raised from the dead,
Jesus, who delivers us from the coming wrath.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Gospel -
Mt. 22:34-40

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 make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law tested him by asking,
"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
He said to him,
"You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

The Gospel of the Lord.

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Closing Hymn - 744 - As a Fire is Meant for Burning

  1. As a fire is meant for burning
    with a bright and warming flame
    So the Church is meant for mission,
    giving glory to God's name.
    As we witness to the gospel,
    we would build a bridge of care,
    Joining hands across the nations,
    finding neighbors ev'rywhere.

  2. We are learners; we are teachers;
    we are pilgrims on the way.
    We are seekers; we are givers;
    we are vessels made of clay.
    By our gentle loving actions,
    we would show that Christ is light.
    In a humble list'ning Spirit,
    we would live to God's delight.

  3. As a green bud in the springtime
    is a sign of life renewed,
    So may we be signs of oneness 'mid earth's peoples, many-hued.
    As a rainbow lights the heavens
    when a storm is past and gone,
    May our lives reflect the radiance of God's new and glorious dawn.

Tell us, then, what is your opinion:
Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?"
Knowing their malice, Jesus said,
"Why are you testing me, you hypocrites?
Show me the coin that pays the census tax."

Offertory Song - The Same Love

  1. You choose the humble
    and raise them high

You are calling us all by name
The same God that spread the heavens wide
The same God that was crucified
Is calling us all by name
You are calling us all by name

And speak the words you are Mine
You call the cynic and the proud
Come to Me now

You're calling You're calling
You're calling us to the cross

Communion Song- Surrendered

  1. Your love has led me to surrender
    To renounce my rights
    and resign my fear
    And trust before I know the answer
    Laying down my life
    at the Shepherd's feet

Come rushing like a river
through my soul
With Your streams of living water
And Your love that overflows
I find here in Your presence all I need
Here I lay my life before You
I will give You ev'rything

2. I hide myself beneath Your shadow
Here I find my rest underneath Your wings
I come with weights that I can't carry
Here I lay them down leave them at Your feet

I am surrounded when I surrender
In Your presence I know I don't have to hide
For it's Your kindness that draws me closer
To the river where my soul is satisfied


Closing Song -
Majestic

O Lord our Lord
How majestic is Your name
In all the earth
O Lord our Lord
How majestic is Your name
In all the earth

(Chorus 1)
The heavens declare Your greatness
The oceans cry out to You
The mountains they bow down before You
So I'll join with the earth
And I'll give my praise to You

(Bridge)
I will worship You
I will worship You
I will worship You
I will worship You

We will worship You
We will worship You

(Chorus 2)
The heavens declare Your greatness
The oceans cry out to You
The mountains they bow down before You
So I'll join with the earth and I'll sing
The heavens declare Your greatness
The oceans cry out to You
The mountains they bow down before You
So I'll join with the earth
And I'll give my praise to You

Processional Hymn - 598 - O God Beyond All Praising

1. O God beyond all praising,
we worship you today
And sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
For we can only wonder
at every gift you send,
At blessings without number and
mercies without end:
We lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your word,
We honor and adore you, our great and mighty Lord.



2. The flow’r of earthly splendor
in time must surely die,
Its fragile bloom surrender to you,
the Lord most high;
But hidden from all nature
the eternal seed is sown,
Though small in mortal stature to heaven’s garden grown.
For Christ, the man from heaven,
from death has set us free,
And we through him are given
the final victory!

3. Then hear, O gracious Savior,
accept the love we bring,
That we who know your favor
may serve you as our king;
And whether our tomorrows
be filled with good or ill,
We'll triumph through our sorrows
and rise to bless you still:
To marvel at your beauty
and glory in your ways,
And make a joyful duty
our sacrifice of praise.



Greeting:

Priest: The Lord be with you.

ALL: And with your spirit.

Lord, have mercy.

Offertory Song - 578 - How Great Thou Art

  1. O Lord, my God,
    When I in awesome wonder
    Consider all the works
    thy hands have made,
    I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
    Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed!


    Then sings my soul,
    My Savior God to thee:
    How great thou art,
    How great thou art!
    Then sings my soul,
    My Savior God to thee:
    How great thou art,
    How great thou art!

2. When through the woods
and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds
sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty
mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook and feel
the gentle breeze,

3. And when I think of God,
his Son not sparing,
Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross,
my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin!

a feast of rich food and choice wines,
juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines.
On this mountain he will destroy
the veil that veils all peoples,
the web that is woven over all nations;
he will destroy death forever.
The Lord GOD will wipe away
the tears from every face;
the reproach of his people he will remove
from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken.
On that day it will be said:
"Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us!
This is the LORD for whom we looked;
let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!"
For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain.

Gospel Acclamation

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 make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

Jesus again in reply spoke to the chief priests and elders of the people
in parables, saying,
"The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.
He dispatched his servants
to summon the invited guests to the feast,
but they refused to come.
A second time he sent other servants, saying,
'Tell those invited: "Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast."'
Some ignored the invitation and went away,
one to his farm, another to his business.
The rest laid hold of his servants,
mistreated them, and killed them.
The king was enraged and sent his troops,
destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
Then he said to his servants, 'The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come.
Go out, therefore, into the main roads
and invite to the feast whomever you find.'
The servants went out into the streets
and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests.
But when the king came in to meet the guests, he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment.
The king said to him, 'My friend, how is it
that you came in here without a wedding garment?'
But he was reduced to silence.
Then the king said to his attendants, 'Bind his hands and feet,
and cast him into the darkness outside,
where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.'
Many are invited, but few are chosen."

The Gospel of the Lord.

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Homily (please sit)

the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,

For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,

Offertory Song - Come, Thou Font

Come thou fount of ev'ry blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it, mount of Thy redeeming love

Here I raise my Ebenezer, hither by Thy help I'm come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger, wond'ring from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood

How Your kindness yet pursues me, how Your mercy never fails me
Till the day that death shall lose me, I will sing, oh, I will sing

Oh to grace, how great a debtor, daily I'm constrained to be
Let thy goodness like a fetter, bind my wand'ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above

How Your kindness yet pursues me, how Your mercy never fails me
Till the day that death shall lose me, I will sing, oh, I will sing

How Your kindness yet pursues me, how Your mercy never fails me
Till the day that death shall lose me, I will sing, oh, I will sing
Till the day that death shall lose me, I will sing, oh, I will sing

Prone to wander, Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above

Communion Song- Run to the Father


1. I've carried a burden for too long on my own
I wasn't created to bear it alone
I hear Your invitation to let it all go
I see it now I'm laying it down
And I know that I need You

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I'm done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs (found) a surgeon
My soul needs (found) a friend
So I'll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again

Oh oh oh

2. You saw my condition
Had a plan from the start
Your Son for redemption
The price for my heart
I don't have a context
For that kind of love
I don't understand
I can't comprehend
All I know is I need You

Oh oh
Again and again
And again and again
Oh oh oh
(Again and again)

(Bridge)
My heart has been in Your sights
Long before my first breath
Running into Your arms
Is running to life from death
I feel this rush deep in my chest
Your mercy is calling out
Just as I am You pull me in
And I know I need You now

Closing Song -
The Table

  1. I will feast at the table of the Lord
    I will feast at the table of the Lord
    I won't hunger anymore at His table

Come all you weary come and find
His yoke is easy His burden is light
He is able He will restore
At the table of the Lord
(At the table of the Lord)

2. There is peace at the table of the Lord
There is peace at the table of the Lord
I won't worry anymore at His table

3. There is healing at the table of the Lord
There is healing at the table of the Lord
Oh and I won't suffer anymore at His table

4. I'm invited to the table of the Lord
I'm invited to the table of the Lord
He says come just as you are to His table

I know He has a place for me
Oh what joy will fill my heart
With the saints around the mercy seat of God

Offertory Song - 760 - Christ Has No Body Now but Yours

Christ has no body now but yours,
no hands but yours.
Here on this earth yours is the work,
to serve with the joy of compassion.

Verses:

1. No hands but yours to heal the wounded world,
no hands but yours
to sooth all its suff’ring,
no touch but yours
to bind the broken hope
of the people of God.

2. No eyes but yours
to see as Christ would see,
to find the lost, to gaze with compassion;
no eyes but yours to glimpse
the holy joy of the city of God.

3. No feet but yours
to journey with the poor,
to walk this world with mercy and justice.
Yours are the steps to build a lasting peace for the children of God.

4. Through ev’ry gift,
give back to those in need;
As Christ has blessed,
so now be his blessing,
with ev’ry gift a benediction be to the people of God.

Communion Hymn - 940 - Your Satisfy the Hungry Heart

You satisfy the hungry heart,
With gift of finest wheat;
Come give to us, O Saving Lord,
The Bread of Life to eat.

  1. As when the shepherd calls his sheep,
    They know and heed his voice;
    So when you call your family Lord,
    They follow and rejoice.

  2. With joyful lips, we sing to you,
    Our praise and gratitude;
    That you should count us worthy Lord,
    To share this Heavenly food.

  3. Is not the cup we bless and share,
    The blood of Christ outpoured?
    Does not one cup, one loaf declare
    Our Oneness in the Lord?

  4. The myst’ry of your presence, Lord,
    No mortal tongue can tell;
    Whom all the world cannot contain
    Comes in our hearts to dwell.

  5. You give yourself to us, O Lord;
    Then selfless let us be,
    To serve each other in your name
    In truth and charity.



Closing Hymn -606 - Glory and Praise

Glory and praise to our God,
who alone gives light to our days.
Many are the blessings he bears
to those who trust in his ways.

  1. We the daughters and sons of him,
    who built the valleys and plains.
    Praise the wonders our God has done
    in every heart that sings.

  2. In his wisdom, he strengthens us,
    like gold that's tested in fire.
    Though the power of sin prevails,
    our God is there to save.

  3. Every moment of every day
    our God is waiting to save.
    Always ready to seek the lost,
    to answer those who pray.

First Reading - Is. 5:1-7

Let me now sing of my friend,
my friend's song concerning his vineyard.
My friend had a vineyard
on a fertile hillside;
he spaded it, cleared it of stones,
and planted the choicest vines;
within it he built a watchtower,
and hewed out a wine press.
Then he looked for the crop of grapes,
but what it yielded was wild grapes.

Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and
people of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard:
What more was there to do for my vineyard
that I had not done?
Why, when I looked for the crop of grapes,
did it bring forth wild grapes?
Now, I will let you know
what I mean to do with my vineyard:
take away its hedge, give it to grazing,
break through its wall, let it be trampled!
Yes, I will make it a ruin:
it shall not be pruned or hoed,
but overgrown with thorns and briers;
I will command the clouds
not to send rain upon it.
The vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the people of Judah are his cherished plant; he looked for judgment, but see, bloodshed! for justice, but hark, the outcry!

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm -
Ps. 80

R. The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.


Second Reading -
Phil. 4:6-9

Brothers and sisters:
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
make your requests known to God.
Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers and sisters,
whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is just, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious,
if there is any excellence
and if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things.
Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me.
Then the God of peace will be with you.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation

R: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Gospel -
Mt. 21:33-44

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 make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people:
"Hear another parable.
There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey.
When vintage time drew near,
he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce.
But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat, another they killed, and a third they stoned.
Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones,
but they treated them in the same way.
Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking,
'They will respect my son.'
But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another,
'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.'
They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?"
They answered him,
"He will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the proper times."
Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures:
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
by the Lord has this been done,
and it is wonderful in our eyes?
Therefore, I say to you,
the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit."

The Gospel of the Lord.

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

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,

Beginning and the end,

The Godhead Three in One,
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb,
the Lion and the Lamb

Name above all names, Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing how great is our God
Name above all names, Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing how great is our God

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

    Whose kingdom calls all to the love which endures.
    So from the beginning the fight we were winning:
    You, Lord, were at our side; all glory be yours!

look down from heaven, and see;
visit this vine and protect it,

Communion Hymn - 914 - Lord, Who at Your First Eucharist

Lord, who at your first Eucharist did pray
That all your Church might be forever one,
Help us at ev'ry Eucharist to say
With longing heart and soul,
"Your will be done."
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.

For all your Church, O Lord, we intercede;
O make our lack of charity to cease;
Draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
By drawing all to you, O Prince of Peace;
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.

We pray for those who wander
from your fold;
O bring them back,
Good Shepherd of the sheep,
Back to the faith which
saints believed of old,
Back to the Church which still
that faith does keep;
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.

So, Lord, at length when
sacraments shall cease,
May we be one with all your Church above,
One with your saints in
one unbroken peace,
One with your saints in
one unbounded love;
More blessed still, in peace and love to be
One with the Trinity in Unity.



Closing Hymn -985 - Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.

Glory, glory! Hallelujah!
Glory, glory! Hallelujah!
Glory, glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

2. I have seen him in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps.
I can read the righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.

3. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out all human hearts before his judgment seat.
O be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

4. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me.
As he died to make us holy, let us live to make all free
While God is marching on.

First Reading - Ez. 18:25-28

Thus says the LORD:
You say, "The LORD's way is not fair!"
Hear now, house of Israel:
Is it my way that is unfair, or rather, are not your ways unfair?
When someone virtuous turns away from virtue to commit iniquity, and dies,
it is because of the iniquity he committed that he must die.
But if he turns from the wickedness he has committed,
and does what is right and just,
he shall preserve his life;
since he has turned away from all the sins that he has committed,
he shall surely live, he shall not die.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm -
Ps. 25

R. Remember your mercies, O Lord.


Your ways, O LORD, make known to me;
teach me your paths,
guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my savior.
R. Remember your mercies, O Lord.


Remember that your compassion, O LORD,
and your love are from of old.
The sins of my youth and my frailties remember not;
in your kindness remember me,
because of your goodness, O LORD.
R. Remember your mercies, O Lord.


Good and upright is the LORD;
thus he shows sinners the way.
He guides the humble to justice,
and teaches the humble his way.
R. Remember your mercies, O Lord.


Second Reading -
Phil. 2:1-11

Brothers and sisters:
If there is any encouragement in Christ,
any solace in love,
any participation in the Spirit,
any compassion and mercy,
complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love, united in heart, thinking one thing.
Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves,
each looking out not for his own interests,
but also for those of others.

Have in you the same attitude
that is also in Christ Jesus,
Who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
something to be grasped.
Rather, he emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
coming in human likeness;
and found human in appearance,
he humbled himself,
becoming obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
Because of this, God greatly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name
which is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
of those in heaven and on earth
and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

A man had two sons.
He came to the first and said,
'Son, go out and work in
the vineyard today.'
He said in reply, 'I will not,'
but afterwards changed his mind and went.
The man came to the other son and gave the same order.
He said in reply, 'Yes, sir, 'but did not go.
Which of the two did his father's will?"
They answered, "The first."
Jesus said to them, "Amen, I say to you,
tax collectors and prostitutes
are entering the kingdom
of God before you.
When John came to you in the way of righteousness,
you did not believe him;
but tax collectors and prostitutes did.
Yet even when you saw that,
you did not later change your minds and believe him."

the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,

For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,

Christ is Enough

Christ is my reward and all of my devotion
Now there's nothing in this world

No turning back I've been set free

Everything I need is in You
Everything I need

And this hope will never fail

No turning back no turning back

Processional Hymn - 859 - God of Day and God of Darkness

God of day and God of darkness, 
Now we stand before the night. 
As the shadows stretch and deepen, 
Come and make our darkness bright. 
All creation still is groaning 
For the dawning of your might. 
When the Sun of peace and justice 
Fills the earth with radiant light. 

Still the nations curse the darkness, 
Still the rich oppress the poor. 
Still the earth is bruised and broken 
By the ones who still want more. 
Come and wake us from our sleeping, 
So our hearts cannot ignore 
All your people lost and broken, 
All your children at our door. 

You shall be the path that guides us; 
You the light that in us burns. 
Shining deep within all people, 
Yours the love that we must learn. 
For our hearts shall wander restless 
'Til they safe to you return. 
Finding you in one another, 
We shall all your face discern.

Praise to you in day and darkness,
You our source and you are end;
Praise to you who love and nurture
As a father, mother, friend.
Grant us all a peaceful resting,
Let each mind and body mend,
So we rise refreshed tomorrow,
Hearts renewed to kingdom tend.



Greeting:

Priest: The Lord be with you.

ALL: And with your spirit.

Kyrie:

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Offertory Song - May We Have the Mind of Christ

May we have the mind of Christ,
Who emptied himself,
obedient unto death,
even death upon a cross. (2x)

  1. Though he was in the form of God,
    He emptied himself,
    taking on the form of a slave.

  2. And, one like us in human form,
    he humbles himself,
    obedient unto death on a cross.

  3. Therefore our God has raised
    him high,
    and given to him the name
    which is above ev’ry name.
