Processional Hymn - Christ is the King
Christ is the King! O friends, rejoice;
Brothers and sisters, with one voice
Let the world know He is your choice.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
O magnify the Lord, and raise
Anthems of joy and holy praise
For Christ's brave saints of ancient days.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
They with a faith forever new
Followed the King, and round him drew
Thousands of men and women true.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
O Christian women, Christian men,
All the world over, seek again
The Way disciples followed then.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ through all ages is the same;
Place the same hope in His great name,
With the same faith His word proclaim.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Let Love's all reconciling might
Your scattered companies unite
In service to the Lord of light.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
So shall the Church at last be one;
So shall God’s will on earth be done.
New lamps be lit, new tasks begun.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
First Reading - Isaiah 53:10-11
The LORD was pleased to crush him in infirmity.
If he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life, and the will of the LORD shall be accomplished through him.
Because of his affliction, he shall see the light in fullness of days; through his suffering, my servant shall justify many, and their guilt he shall bear.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 33
R. Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
The word of the LORD is faithful, and all his works to be trusted.
The LORD loves justice and right, and his merciful love fills the earth.
R. Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
Yes, the LORD’s eyes are on those who fear him, who hope in his merciful love,
To rescue their souls from death, to keep them alive in famine.
R. Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
Our soul is waiting for the LORD, He is our help and our shield.
May your merciful love be upon us, as we hope in you, O LORD.
R. Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
Second Reading - Hebrews 4:14-16
Brothers and sisters:
Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin.
So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help.
Gospel - Mark 10:35-45
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.”
He replied, “What do you wish me to do for you?”
They answered him, “Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left.”
Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking.
Can you drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”
They said to him, “We can.”
Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John.
Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt.
But it shall not be so among you.
Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all.
For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
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 Hymn - Taste and See
Taste and see, taste and see
The goodness of the Lord.
O taste and see, taste and see
The goodness of the Lord, of the Lord.
I will bless the Lord at all times.
Praise shall always be on my lips;
My soul shall glory in the Lord;
For God has been so good to me.
Taste and see, taste and see
The goodness of the Lord.
O taste and see, taste and see
The goodness of the Lord, of the Lord.
Glorify the Lord with me.
Together let us all praise God's name.
I called the Lord, who answered me;
From all my troubles I was set free.
Taste and see, taste and see
The goodness of the Lord.
O taste and see, taste and see
The goodness of the Lord, of the Lord.
Worship the Lord, all you people.
You’ll want for nothing if you ask.
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
In God we need put all our trust.
Taste and see, taste and see
The goodness of the Lord.
Oh, taste and see, taste and see
The goodness of the Lord, of the Lord.
Recessional Hymn - There's A Wideness in God’s Mercy
There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in God's justice
Which is more than liberty.
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of the mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more faithful
We should rest upon God’s word,
And our lives would be thanksgiving
For the goodness of our Lord.
Troubled souls, why will you scatter
Like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
From a love so true and deep?
There is welcome for the sinner
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Savior,
There is healing in his blood.
