Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Processional Song - Great Are You, Lord
You give life You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope You restore ev'ry heart that is broken
And great are You Lord
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only
And all the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry these bones will sing
Great are You Lord
1st Reading – Isaiah 49:3, 5-6
The LORD said to me: You are my servant,
Israel, through whom I show my glory.
Now the LORD has spoken
who formed me as his servant from the womb,
that Jacob may be brought back to him
and Israel gathered to him;
and I am made glorious in the sight of the LORD,
and my God is now my strength!
It is too little, the LORD says, for you to be my servant,
to raise up the tribes of Jacob,
and restore the survivors of Israel;
I will make you a light to the nations,
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.
Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 40
R. Here am I, Lord, here am I Lord. I've come to do your will, I've come to do your will.
2nd Reading – 1 Cor. 1:1-3
Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,
and Sosthenes our brother,
to the church of God that is in Corinth,
to you who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy,
with all those everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Gospel – John 1:29-34
John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and said,
"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
He is the one of whom I said,
'A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me
because he existed before me.'
I did not know him, but the reason why I came baptizing with water was that he might be made known to Israel."
John testified further, saying,
"I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and remain upon him.
I did not know him,but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me,
'On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God."
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.

Communion Song -Defender
You go before I know
That You've even gone to win my war
You come back with the head of my enemy
You come back and You call it my victory
You go before I know
That You've even gone to win my war
Your love becomes my greatest defense
It leads me from the dry wilderness
All I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still
Hallelujah You have saved me
So much better Your (this) way
Hallelujah great Defender
So much better Your (this) way
You know before I do
Where my heart can seek to find Your truth
Your mercy is the shade I'm living in
You restore my faith and hope again
When I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to Your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the defender of my heart
All I did was praise
All I need to do is worship
Lord I will just bow down
I'm just gonna stay still
Recessional Song - Always
I believe You gave sight to the blind
I believe that the dead came to life
I believe there were wonders and signs
And You're still the same
I believe every word that You said
I believe there are scars in Your hands
That Your goodness is good without end
And You'll never change
I will tell of Your wonders sing of Your grace
The God of creation knows me by name
The Lord is faithful yesterday now and always
Always
Your mercy is mighty age after age
All generations will bow down and praise
The Lord is faithful yesterday now and always
Always
I believe You will come in the clouds
I believe You are here even now
In Your presence I know there is power
Power to save oh
You were You are You always will be God
You were You are You always will be God
Yes You always will be God
Your mercy is mighty age after age
All generations will bow down and praise
The Lord is faithful yesterday now and always
