For I, the giver of home and harvest,

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading - Ex. 24:3-8
When Moses came to the people
and related all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all answered with one voice,
"We will do everything that the LORD has told us."
Moses then wrote down all the words of the LORD and, rising early the next day,
he erected at the foot of the mountain an altar and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
Then, having sent certain young men of the Israelites to offer holocausts and sacrifice young bulls as peace offerings to the LORD,
Moses took half of the blood and put it in large bowls; the other half he splashed on the altar.
Taking the book of the covenant, he read it aloud to the people, who answered, "All that the LORD has said, we will heed and do."
Then he took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, saying,
"This is the blood of the covenant
that the LORD has made with you
in accordance with all these words of his."
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 116
R. I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord.
Second Reading -
Hebrews 9:11-15
Brothers and sisters:
When Christ came as high priest
of the good things that have come to be,
passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands, that is, not belonging to this creation, he entered once for all into the sanctuary, not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.
For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer's ashes can sanctify those who are defiled so that their flesh is cleansed,
how much more will the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to worship the living God.
For this reason he is mediator of a new covenant: since a death has taken place for deliverance from transgressions under the first covenant, those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance.
The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation -
R: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Gospel – Mark 14:12-16, 22-26
Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to Mark.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to go
and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
He sent two of his disciples and said to them,
"Go into the city and a man will meet you,
carrying a jar of water. Follow him. Wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, "Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'
Then he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there."
The disciples then went off, entered the city, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover.
While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, gave it to them, and said,
"Take it; this is my body."
Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
He said to them,
"This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."
Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

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,

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

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.

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

Communion Song - 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
2. 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
3. Unless you eat
of the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink of his blood
and drink of his blood
you shall not have life
within you.
4. I am the resurrection
I am the life
If you believe in Me
Even though you die
You shall live forever
5. Yes, Lord, I believe
That You are the Christ
The Son of God
Who has come
Into the world
Recessional Song - The Lion and the Lamb
He's coming on the clouds
Kings and kingdoms will bow down
And every chain will break
As broken hearts declare His praise
For who can stop the Lord Almighty
Our God is the Lion
The Lion of Judah
He's roaring with power
And fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the Lamb
The Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world
His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before Him
So open up the gates
Make way before the King of kings
The God who comes to save
Is here to set the captives free
For who can stop the Lord Almighty

The Church’s One Foundation
1. The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
She is his new creation
By water and the Word;
From heav'n he came and sought her
To be his holy bride;
With his own blood he bought her,
And for her life he died.
2. Elect from ev'ry nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation:
One Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With ev'ry grace endued.
3. Through toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blessed,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
4. Yet she on earth has union
With God, the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won.
O blessed heav'nly chorus!
Lord, save us by your grace
That we, like saints before us,
May see you face to face.

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading - Dt. 4:32-34, 39-40
Moses said to the people:
"Ask now of the days of old, before your time,
ever since God created man upon the earth;
ask from one end of the sky to the other:
Did anything so great ever happen before?
Was it ever heard of?
Did a people ever hear the voice of God
speaking from the midst of fire, as you did, and live? Or did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war,
with strong hand and outstretched arm, and by great terrors, all of which the LORD, your God,
did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
This is why you must now know,
and fix in your heart, that the LORD is God
in the heavens above and on earth below,
and that there is no other.
You must keep his statutes and commandments that I enjoin on you today, that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may have long life on the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you forever."
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.

The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit
that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

When they all saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
Then Jesus approached and said to them,
"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,

and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

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.

1st Reading - Dt. 4:32-34, 39-40
Moses said to the people:
"Ask now of the days of old, before your time,
ever since God created man upon the earth;
ask from one end of the sky to the other:
Did anything so great ever happen before?
Was it ever heard of?
Did a people ever hear the voice of God
speaking from the midst of fire, as you did, and live? Or did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, with strong hand and outstretched arm, and by great terrors, all of which the LORD, your God,
did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
This is why you must now know,
and fix in your heart, that the LORD is God
in the heavens above and on earth below,
and that there is no other.
You must keep his statutes and commandments that I enjoin on you today, that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may have long life on the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you forever."
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 33
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
Bless the LORD, O my soul!
O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!
How manifold are your works, O LORD!
The earth is full of your creatures.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
If you take away their breath, they die and they return to their dust.
When you send forth your Spirit of life, they are created in your sight.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
May his glory last for all time; may the LORD be glad in his works!
Pleasing to him be my theme; I will be glad in the LORD.

Second Reading - Romans 8:14-17
Brothers and sisters:
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a Spirit of adoption, through whom we cry, "Abba, Father!"
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit
that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,

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.
Recessional 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.

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading - Acts 2:1-11
When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled,
they were all in one place together.
And suddenly there came from the sky
a noise like a strong driving wind,
and it filled the entire house in which they were.
Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem.
At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused
because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, “Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? Then how does each of us hear them in his native language?
We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites,
inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome,
both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God.”
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 104
R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
Bless the LORD, O my soul!
O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!
How manifold are your works, O LORD!
The earth is full of your creatures.
R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
If you take away their breath, they die and they return to their dust.
When you send forth your Spirit of life, they are created in your sight.
R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
May his glory last for all time; may the LORD be glad in his works!
Pleasing to him be my theme; I will be glad in the LORD.
R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
Second Reading -
1 Cor. 12:3b-7, 12-13
Brothers and sisters:
No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit;
there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.
As a body is one though it has many parts,
and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ.
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.
The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

Processional Hymn - Come Holy Ghost
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
And in our hearts take up thy rest;
Come with thy grace and heav’nly aid
To fill the hearts which thou hast made;
To fill the hearts which thou hast made.
O Comforter, to thee we cry,
Thou heav’nly gift of God most high;
Thou font of life and fire of love,
And sweet anointing from above;
And sweet anointing from above.
O Holy Ghost, through thee alone,
Know we the Father and the Son;
Be this our firm unchanging creed,
That thou dost from them both proceed,
That thou dost from them both proceed.
Praise we the Lord, Father and Son,
And Holy Spirit, with them one;
And may the Son on us bestow
All gifts that from the Spirit flow;
All gifts that from the Spirit flow.

First Reading - Acts 2:1-11
When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled,
they were all in one place together.
And suddenly there came from the sky
a noise like a strong driving wind,
and it filled the entire house in which they were.
Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem.
At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused
because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, “Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? Then how does each of us hear them in his native language?
We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites,
inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome,
both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God.”
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 104
R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
Bless the LORD, O my soul!
O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!
How manifold are your works, O LORD!
The earth is full of your creatures.
R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
If you take away their breath, they die and they return to their dust.
When you send forth your Spirit of life, they are created in your sight.
R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
May his glory last for all time; may the LORD be glad in his works!
Pleasing to him be my theme; I will be glad in the LORD.
R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
Second Reading - 1 Cor. 12:3b-7, 12-13
Brothers and sisters:
No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit;
there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.
As a body is one though it has many parts,
and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ.
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.

And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
"I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.
But when he comes, the Spirit of truth,
he will guide you to all truth.
He will not speak on his own,
but he will speak what he hears,
and will declare to you the things that are coming.
He will glorify me,
because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.
Everything that the Father has is mine;
for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you."

Offertory Hymn - 55 - Come Down, O Love Divine
Come down, O Love divine,
Seek out this soul of mine
And visit it with your own
ardor glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
Within my heart appear,
And kindle it, your holy
flame bestowing.
O let it freely burn
Till earthly passions turn
To dust and ashes
in its heat consuming;
And let your glorious light
Shine ever on my sight,
And clothe me round,
the while my path illuming.
And so the yearning strong,
With which the soul will long,
Shall far outpass the pow’r
of human telling;
No soul can guess Love’s grace
Till it become the place
Where in the Holy Spirit
makes a dwelling.

Communion Hymn - 555 - Spirit Blowing Through Creation
Spirit blowing through creation,
Spirit burning in the sky,
Let the hope of Your salvation fill our eyes;
God of splendor, God of glory,
You who light the stars above,
All the heavens tell the story
Of Your love.
As you moved upon the waters,
As you ride upon the wind,
Move us all, your sons and daughters deep within;
As you shape the hills and mountains,
Formed the land and filled the deep,
Let your hand renew and waken all who sleep.
Spirit renewing the earth,
Renewing the hearts of all people;
Burn in the weary souls,
Blow through the silent lips,
Come now awake us, Spirit of God.
Love that sends the rivers dancing,
Love that waters all that lives,
Love that heals and holds and rouses and forgives.
You are food for all creatures,
You are hunger in the soul,
In Your hands, the brokenhearted are made whole.
All the creatures you have fashioned,
All that live and breathe in you,
Find their hope in your compassion, strong, and true;
You, O Spirit of salvation,
You alone, beneath, above,
Come, renew your whole creation in your love.
Spirit renewing the earth,
Renewing the hearts of all people;
Burn in the weary souls,
Blow through the silent lips,
Come now awake us, Spirit of God.

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading - Acts 1:1-11
In the first book, Theophilus,
I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught
until the day he was taken up,
after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit
to the apostles whom he had chosen.
He presented himself alive to them
by many proofs after he had suffered,
appearing to them during forty days
and speaking about the kingdom of God.
While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for “the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak; for John baptized with water,
but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
When they had gathered together they asked him,
“Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
He answered them,
“It is not for you to know the times or seasons
that the Father has established by his own authority.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
When he had said this, as they were looking on,
he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.
They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky?
This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.”
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 47

Eph. 1:17-23
Beloved:
Brothers and sisters:
May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.
May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory
in his inheritance among the holy ones,
and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of his great might, which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come.
And he put all things beneath his feet
and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.
The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

Mk. 16:15-20
Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to Mark.
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:
“Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved;
whoever does not believe will be condemned.
These signs will accompany those who believe:
in my name they will drive out demons,
they will speak new languages.
They will pick up serpents with their hands,
and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them.
They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them,
was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.
But they went forth and preached everywhere,
while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.
The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Second Reading - Eph. 1:17-23
Beloved:
Brothers and sisters:
May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.
May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory
in his inheritance among the holy ones,
and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of his great might, which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come.
And he put all things beneath his feet
and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.

Gospel - Mk. 16:15-20
Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to Mark.
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:
“Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved;
whoever does not believe will be condemned.
These signs will accompany those who believe:
in my name they will drive out demons,
they will speak new languages.
They will pick up serpents with their hands,
and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them.
They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them,
was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.
But they went forth and preached everywhere,
while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.
The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading - Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48
When Peter entered, Cornelius met him
and, falling at his feet, paid him homage.
Peter, however, raised him up, saying,
"Get up. I myself am also a human being."
Then Peter proceeded to speak and said,
"In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.
Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him."
While Peter was still speaking these things,
the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the word.
The circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit should have been poured out on the Gentiles also,
for they could hear them speaking in tongues and glorifying God.
Then Peter responded,
"Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit even as we have?"
He ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

so that we might have life through him.
In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.

This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
No one has greater love than this,

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.

1st Reading - Acts 9:26-31
When Saul arrived in Jerusalem he tried to join the disciples,
but they were all afraid of him,
not believing that he was a disciple.
Then Barnabas took charge of him and brought him to the apostles,
and he reported to them how he had seen the Lord,
and that he had spoken to him,
and how in Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus.
He moved about freely with them in Jerusalem,
and spoke out boldly in the name of the Lord.
He also spoke and debated with the Hellenists,
but they tried to kill him.
And when the brothers learned of this,
they took him down to Caesarea
and sent him on his way to Tarsus.
The church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was at peace.

Jesus said to his disciples:
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.
He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit,
and every one that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit.
You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.
Remain in me, as I remain in you.
Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own
unless it remains on the vine,
so neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine, you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit,
because without me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
will be thrown out like a branch and wither;
people will gather them and throw them into a fire
and they will be burned.
If you remain in me and my words remain in you,
ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.
By this is my Father glorified,

Where charity and love prevail,
There God is ever found;

By love are we thus bound.

God’s charity we learn;
Let us with heart and mind and soul
Now love God in return.
Forgive we now each other’s faults
As we our faults confess;
And let us love each other well
In Christian holiness.
Let strife among us be unknown,
Let all contention cease;
Be God’s the glory that we seek,
Be ours God’s holy peace.
Let us recall that in our midst
Dwells God’s begotten Son;
As members of his body joined,
We are in Christ made one.

if honored be God’s name;
Our family embraces all
whose Father is the same.

Gives his sacred Blood for wine,
Gives his Body for the feast,
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.
Where the Paschal blood is poured,
Death's dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
Through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
Paschal victim, Paschal bread;
With sincerity and love
Eat we manna from above.
Mighty victim from on high,
Hell's fierce pow’rs beneath you lie;
You have conquered in the fight,
You have brought us life and light:
Now no more can death appall,
Now no more the grave enthrall;
You have opened paradise,
And in you your saints shall rise.
Easter triumph, Easter joy,
This alone can sin destroy;
From sin's pow’r Lord set us free
Newborn souls in you to be.
Father, who the crown shall give,
Savior, by whose death we live,
Spirit, guide through all our days,
Three in One, your name we praise.

A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
A hired man, who is not a shepherd

This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me,
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice,

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again.
This command I have received from my Father."

I fear no evil, for you are at my side,
your rod and your staff, my comfort and my hope. [Refrain]You have set me a banquet of love

Communion Song - Good, Good Father
I've heard a thousand stories
Of what they think You’re like
But I've heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of night
You tell me that You’re pleased
And that I'm never alone
You're a Good Good Father
It's who You are
It's who You are
It's who You are
And I'm loved by You
It's who I am
It's who I am
It's who I am
I've seen many searching for answers
Far and wide
But I know we're all searching for answers
Only You provide
Because You know just what we need
Before we say a word
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us
Love so undeniable I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable I can hardly think
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
Into love love love
Recessional Song - How Can I Keep from Singing?
My life flows on in endless song,
Above earth’s lamentation.
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear that music ringing.
It sounds and echoes in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
What though my joys and comforts die?
The Lord, my savior, liveth.
What though the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing!
All things are mine since I am his!
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?

First Reading - Acts 4:8-12
Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said:
"Leaders of the people and elders:
If we are being examined today
about a good deed done to a cripple,
namely, by what means he was saved,
then all of you and all the people of Israel should know
that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean
whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead;
in his name this man stands before you healed.
He is the stone rejected by you, the builders,
which has become the cornerstone.
There is no salvation through anyone else,
nor is there any other name under heaven
given to the human race by which we are to be saved."
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 118
R. The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone.
Give praise to the LORD, for he is good,
his mercy endures forever.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in princes.
R. The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone.
I will thank you, for you have answered,
and you are my savior.
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
By the LORD has this been done,
a marvel in our eyes.
R. The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone.
Blest is he who comes in the name of the LORD;
we bless you from the house of the LORD.
I will thank you, for you have answered
and you are my savior.

1 John 3:1-2
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

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.

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:
"I am the good shepherd.
A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
A hired man, who is not a shepherd
and whose sheep are not his own,
sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them.
This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd,
and I know mine and mine know me,
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice,
and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
This is why the Father loves me,
because I lay down my life in order to take it up again.
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again.
This command I have received from my Father."

Offertory Hymn - Your Only Son
Your only Son, No sin to hide;
But you have sent him from your side
to walk upon this guilty sod
And to become to Lamb of God.
Your gift of love they crucified,
they laughed and scorned him as he died,
the humble King, they named a fraud,
and sacrificed the Lamb of God.
O Lamb of God,
Sweet Lamb of God;
I love the holy Lamb of God.
Oh wash me in His precious blood,
My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.
I was so lost, I should have died
But you have brought me to your side,
To be led by Your staff and rod
And to be called a lamb of God.

Communion Hymn - 940 - You 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.
As when the shepherd calls his sheep,
They know and heed his voice;
So when you call your family Lord,
They follow and rejoice.
With joyful lips, we sing to you,
Our praise and gratitude;
That you should count us worthy Lord,
To share this Heavenly food.
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?
The myst’ry of your presence, Lord,
No mortal tongue can tell;
Whom all the world cannot contain
Comes in our hearts to dwell.
You give yourself to us, O Lord;
Then selfless let us be,
To serve each other in your name
In truth and charity.

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading - Acts 3:13-15, 17-19
Peter said to the people:
“The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in Pilate’s presence when he had decided to release him.
You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.
The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead; of this we are witnesses.
Now I know, brothers, that you acted out of ignorance, just as your leaders did; but God has thus brought to fulfillment what he had announced beforehand through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer.
Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away.”
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 4
R. Lord, let your face shine on us.
Second Reading -
1 John 2:1-5a
My children, I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin.
But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one.
He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world.
The way we may be sure that we know him is to keep his commandments.
Those who say, “I know him,” but do not keep his commandments are liars, and the truth is not in them.
But whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly perfected in him.
The Word of the Lord.

Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.

ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).
The two disciples recounted what had taken place on the way, and how Jesus was made known to them in the breaking of bread.
While they were still speaking about this, he stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.
Then he said to them, “Why are you troubled?
And why do questions arise in your hearts?
Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.
Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.”
And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, he asked them, “Have you anything here to eat?”
They gave him a piece of baked fish; he took it and ate it in front of them.
He said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.”
Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
And he said to them, “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
You are witnesses of these things.”

First Reading - Acts 3:13-15, 17-19
Peter said to the people:
“The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in Pilate’s presence when he had decided to release him.
You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.
The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead; of this we are witnesses.
Now I know, brothers, that you acted out of ignorance, just as your leaders did; but God has thus brought to fulfillment what he had announced beforehand through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer.
Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away.”
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 4
R. Lord, let your face shine on us.
When I call, answer me, O my just God,
you who relieve me when I am in distress;
have pity on me, and hear my prayer!
R. Lord, let your face shine on us.
Know that the LORD does wonders for his faithful one;
the LORD will hear me when I call upon him.
R. Lord, let your face shine on us.
O LORD, let the light of your countenance shine upon us!
You put gladness into my heart.
R. Lord, let your face shine on us.
As soon as I lie down,
I fall peacefully asleep,
for you alone, O LORD,
you alone bring security to my dwelling.
R. Lord, let your face shine on us.
Second Reading -
1 John 2:1-5a
My children, I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin.
But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one.
He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world.
The way we may be sure that we know him is to keep his commandments.
Those who say, “I know him,” but do not keep his commandments are liars, and the truth is not in them.
But whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly perfected in him.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.

Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to Luke.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).
The two disciples recounted what had taken place on the way, and how Jesus was made known to them in the breaking of bread.
While they were still speaking about this, he stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.
Then he said to them, “Why are you troubled?
And why do questions arise in your hearts?
Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.
Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.”
And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, he asked them, “Have you anything here to eat?”
They gave him a piece of baked fish; he took it and ate it in front of them.
He said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.”
Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
And he said to them, “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
You are witnesses of these things.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Communion Hymn - 918 - In the Breaking of the Bread
In the breaking of the bread
We have known him;
We have been fed.
Jesus the stranger, Jesus the Lord,
Be our companion;
be our hope.
Bread for the journey,
strength for our years,
Manna of ages,
of struggles and tears.
Cup of salvation, fruit of the land,
Bless and receive now
the work of our hands.Bread of the promise,
people of hope,
Wine of compassion, life for the world.
Gathered at table, joined as his body,
Sealed in the Spirit,
send by the Word.Once I was helpless, sad and confused;
darkness surrounded me,
courage removed.
And then I saw him, by my side,
Carry my burden, open my eyes.There is no sorrow, pain or woe;
there is no suffering he did not know.
He did not waver; he did not bend.
He is the victor. He is my friend.
Recessional Hymn - 518 - Alleluia, Christ is Risen

Alleluia, Christ is risen
from his death upon a cross.
Now all share a common vision,
love now reigns and hate is lost.
In this feast we share the story:
love’s new birth for all to see.
From our God’s almighty glory,
sign of things to ever be.
Alleluia, Christ is risen,
truth and justice from the grave,
and brought forth for all who listen:
new life from the life he gave.
Now with joyful hearts and voices
joined as one we share your love.
Here in Christ the world rejoices,
sight now turned to God.

Opening Hymn - Lion and the Lamb
He's coming on the clouds
Kings and kingdoms will bow down
And every chain will break
As broken hearts declare His praise
For who can stop the Lord Almighty
Our God is the Lion
The Lion of Judah
He's roaring with power
And fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the Lamb
The Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world
His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before Him
So open up the gates
Make way before the King of kings
The God who comes to save
Is here to set the captives free
For who can stop the Lord Almighty

Liturgy of the Word
Acts 4:32-35
The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own,
but they had everything in common.
With great power the apostles bore witness
to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus,
and great favor was accorded them all.
There was no needy person among them,
for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale, and put them at the feet of the apostles,
and they were distributed to each according to need.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.

1 John 5:1-6
Beloved:
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God,
and everyone who loves the Father
loves also the one begotten by him.
In this way we know that we love the children of God when we love God and obey his commandments.
For the love of God is this,
that we keep his commandments.
And his commandments are not burdensome, for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world.
And the victory that conquers the world is our faith.
Who indeed is the victor over the world
but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
This is the one who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and blood.
The Spirit is the one that testifies, and the Spirit is truth.
The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

John 20:19-31
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).
On the evening of that first day of the week,
when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in their midst
and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain are retained.”
Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve,
was not with them when Jesus came.
So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”
But he said to them,
“Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks
and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
Now a week later his disciples were again inside
and Thomas was with them.
Jesus came, although the doors were locked,
and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.”
Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands,
and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.”
Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me?
Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
Now, Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples
that are not written in this book.
But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name.
The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Offertory Song - 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 our mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple
We should take Him at His 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.

Communion Song - Christ Has Risen
Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely You've bled for us
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven's will
No scheme of hell no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold You down
In strength You reign
Forever let Your church proclaim
(Bridge)
O death where is your sting
O hell where is your victory
O church come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night

Processional Hymn - 536 - At the Lamb’s High Feast
At the Lamb's high feast we sing
Praise to our victorious King,
Who has washed us in the tide
Flowing from his piercéd side;
Praise we him, whose love divine
Gives his sacred Blood for wine,
Gives his Body for the feast,
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.
Where the Paschal blood is poured,
Death's dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
Through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
Paschal victim, Paschal bread;
With sincerity and love
Eat we manna from above.
Mighty victim from on high,
Hell's fierce pow’rs beneath you lie;
You have conquered in the fight,
You have brought us life and light:
Now no more can death appall,
Now no more the grave enthrall;
You have opened paradise,
And in you your saints shall rise.
Easter triumph, Easter joy,
This alone can sin destroy;
From sin's pow’r Lord set us free
Newborn souls in you to be.
Father, who the crown shall give,
Savior, by whose death we live,
Spirit, guide through all our days,
Three in One, your name we praise.

Offertory Hymn - 542 - That Easter Day with Joy was Bright
That Easter day with joy was bright:
The sun shone out with fairer light
When to their longing eyes restored,
Th'apostles saw their risen Lord.
His risen flesh with radiance glowed,
His wounded hands and feet he showed;
Those scars their solemn witness gave
That Christ was risen from the grave.
O Jesus, King of gentleness,
With constant love our hearts possess,
That we may give you all our days
The tribute of our grateful praise.
O Lord of all, with us abide
In this, our joyful Easter-tide;
From ev'ry weapon death can wield
Your own redeemed forever shield.
All praise to you, O risen Lord,
Now both by heaven and earth adored;
To God the Father equal praise
And God the Spirit, now we raise.

Holy Thursday - Mass of Our Lord’s Supper
Welcome to Our Lady of Angels, where we strive "To love God, Embrace all People, and Share the Gospel Joyfully." Visit our website to find out more about our community.
As the sun sets and evening begins, our Lenten journey comes to an end and Easter opens before us. The Easter Triduum, the three-day celebration of the passion, death and resurrection of our Lord, begins. Holy Thursday, the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, commemorates the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper, as well as the “Mandatum”, the commandment to love another as Christ loves us, shown in the humility and love with which Christ washed the feet of the Disciples.
Prelude: Passover Blessing (Canticle in Hebrew)
In Hebrew we will hear:
Praise be Thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.
Praised be Thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
Who didst choose us from among all people for Thy service, and exalted us by teaching us holiness through Thy commandments.
Out of love hast Thou given us, O Lord our God, holidays for gladness, festivals and seasons for rejoicing, among them this day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the season of our freedom, a festival of holy assembly, commemorating our liberation from Egypt.
From among all peoples hast Thou chosen us, and didst sanctify us by giving us Thy holy festivals as a joyous heritage.
Praised be Thou, O Lord, who hallows Israel and the Festivals.
Praised be Thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
Who hast kept us in life and sustained us,
and enabled us to reach this season.
Processional Hymn - 501 - Glory in the Cross
We should glory in the cross
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
for he is our salvation,
our life and resurrection;
through him we are saved and made free.
Sing my tongue the hymn of glory,
Of the final conflict sing.
Shout the triumph of the victim;
Far and wide the echoes ring:
Jesus Christ, the world’s salvation, From the cross now reigns as King.2. Tell how, when at length the fullness Of the holy time had come,
Christ was sent, the world’s Creator,
From the Father’s heav’nly home,
And was found among us dwelling, Offspring of the Virgin’s womb.3. With the thirty years now ended,
Which on earth he willed to see,
Willingly he meets his passion,
Born to set his people free;
On the cross the Lamb is lifted,
There the sacrifice to be.4. Faithful Cross, true sign of triumph,
Be for all the noblest tree;
None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit your peer may be; Symbol of the world’s redemption,
For your burden makes us free.
Kyrie
Deacon: Lord Jesus, you are the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world: Lord, have mercy.

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading –
Exodus 12:1-8,11-14
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This month shall stand at the head of your calendar; you shall reckon it the first month of the year.
Tell the whole community of Israel: On the tenth of this month every one of your families must procure for itself a lamb, one apiece for each household.
If a family is too small for a whole lamb, it shall join the nearest household in procuring one and shall share in the lamb in proportion to the number of persons who partake of it.
The lamb must be a year-old male and without blemish. You may take it from either the sheep or the goats.
You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, and then, with the whole assembly of Israel present, it shall be slaughtered during the evening twilight.
They shall take some of its blood and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of every house in which they partake of the lamb.
That same night they shall eat its roasted flesh with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
“This is how you are to eat it: with your loins girt, sandals on your feet and your staff in hand, you shall eat like those who are in flight.
It is the Passover of the LORD.
For on this same night I will go through Egypt, striking down every firstborn of the land, both man and beast, and executing judgment on all the gods of Egypt—I, the LORD!
But the blood will mark the houses where you are. Seeing the blood, I will pass over you; thus, when I strike the land of Egypt, no destructive blow will come upon you.
“This day shall be a memorial feast for you, which all your generations shall celebrate with pilgrimage to the LORD, as a perpetual institution.”
The word of the Lord.
All: THANKS BE TO GOD.
Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 116
R. Our blessing-cup is a communion with the Blood of the LORD.
How can I make a return to the LORD for all God has done for me?
The cup of salvation I will take up, I will call on the name of the LORD.
R. Our blessing-cup is a communion with the Blood of the LORD.
Precious indeed in the sight of the LORD is the death of the faithful ones.
And I am your servant, your chosen one, for you have set me free.
R. Our blessing-cup is a communion with the Blood of the LORD.
Unto your name, I will offer my thanks for the debt that I owe to you.
In the presence of all who have called on your name, in the courts of the house of the LORD.
R. Our blessing-cup is a communion with the Blood of the LORD.
2nd Reading – 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Brothers and sisters:
I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.”
In the same way, also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
The word of the Lord.
All: THANKS BE TO GOD.

Gospel – John 13:1-15
The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John+ + +
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord.
Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.
The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over.
So, during supper, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God, he rose from supper and took off his outer garments.
He took a towel and tied it around his waist.
Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel around his waist.
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Master, are you going to wash my feet?”
Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later.”
Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered him, “Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.”
Simon Peter said to him, “Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.”
Jesus said to him, “Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all.”
For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
So when he had washed their feet and put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you?
You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am.
If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet.
I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
All: PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Homily
(please be seated)
Washing of the Feet
Msgr. Bell: This night Jesus lovingly teaches his disciples one final lesson before his death. Jesus knows his disciples are not perfect and he washes their feet anyway. He assumes the position of the humblest servant in the household by washing his disciples’ feet. The one with the highest status lowers himself to the lowest place (Phil 2:5-8). Simon Peter is horrified; his master is humiliating himself. Jesus gently tells him that if Peter will not allow his Lord to wash his feet, if Peter cannot accept the truth that renouncing status and humbling oneself is the way of Jesus -- then Peter will have no part in Jesus at all.
This, Jesus tells them, is the way that they must lead once he is gone.
May those who have been invited come forward and be seated.
Song for Washing of the Feet: This is My Example
This is my example, love as I love you.
This is my example, love as I love, love as I love you.
1. Breaking bread with friends as his life was at an end, Jesus knelt to wash their feet.
2. In a time to come you will know what I have done; let me wash you, let me serve.
3. Simon Peter said, “Wash my hands, my feet, my head!” Jesus looked on him with love.
4. Make my love complete, go and wash each other’s feet; what I have done so you must do.
5. To poor and weak, be the comfort that they seek; let my example be your guide.
6. May your lives be one in this work I have begun; come and follow where I lead.
7. Go forth and care for all people everywhere. Find your strength within may love.
8. Speak my words of peace. To the capture bring release. Go embrace them in my name.
9. If my love you bear to the people everywhere, all will know that you are mine.
10. In your faith is pow’r to embrace the darkest hour; go without fear to heal and, heal and serve.
11. This my life I give; I must die that you may live. All this I do for love of you.
12. When your lives are through I will come to welcome you. We will be forever one.
This is my example, love as I love you.
This is my example, love as I love, love as I love you.
Prayer of the Faithful
(Please stand)
After each invocation, the Deacon proclaims and the people respond:
Deacon: We pray:
All: LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER
Presentation of the Oils
Deacon: Earlier on Tuesday the Chrism Mass was concelebrated by the Bishop and the priests in the diocese. At that time, the Holy Chrism was consecrated for use in Baptism, Confirmation, and Ordination; and the Oil of Catechumens and the Oil of the Infirmed were blessed. The oils for use in our parish are presented now.
The Rite of Reception of the Holy Oils at the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper maintains the strong link between the Chrism Mass and the Paschal Triduum as well as the recognition of the diocesan bishop as having the fullness of Jesus’ priesthood.
The Oil of the Sick
Deacon: The Oil of the Sick. This oil is used for anointing those who are ill in body, mind or spirit. Our prayer is that all who are anointed with this oil may be brought to health and strength.
(A person who is a recent recipient of the Sacrament of the Sick or who ministers to the sick) will process down the aisle with the Oil of the Sick.)
Cantor sings:
From the fruit of olive branches
Comes the oil for healing here.
Lord, we ask you, make it holy,
Touch the sick and calm their fear.
All sing:
Son of God, anointed Savior,
Priest and prophet, humble king!
Bless this oil for our anointing:
So may we your praises sing.
Msgr. Bell: May the sick who are anointed with this oil experience the compassion of
Christ and his saving love, in body, mind, and soul.
Cantor sings:
Oil of blessing, holy oil,
Sign of healing from our God!
All sing:
Oil of blessing, holy oil,
Sign of healing from our God!
The Oil of Catechumens
Deacon: This oil is used in preparing people for the Sacrament of Baptism. Our prayer is that, as with ancient athletes and warriors, whose anointing with oil helps them face difficult challenges, those who are anointed with the Oil of Catechumens may be strengthened to meet the challenges of their baptismal calling.
(A person who was recently baptized or will have a child baptized will process down the aisle with the Oil of Catechumens.)
Cantor sings:
Rich in kindness, rich in mercy,
Lord, from whom all blessings flow!
By this sign of your salvation
Catechumens’ faith may grow.
All sing:
Son of God, anointed Savior,
Priest and prophet, humble king!
Bless this oil for our anointing:
So may we your praises sing.
Msgr. Bell: Through anointing with this oil may our catechumens who are preparing to receive the saving waters of baptism be strengthened by Christ to resist the power of Satan and reject evil in all its forms.
Cantor sings:
Oil of blessing, holy oil,
Gift of wisdom and of strength!
All sing:
Oil of blessing, holy oil,
Gift of wisdom and of strength!
The Sacred Chrism
Deacon: This is a mixture of oil and perfume, and is used in the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders. It is also used in the consecration of churches and sacred objects. Our prayer is that, through the use of this aromatic oil, those anointed with it may be reminded that they have been consecrated to God to live good and holy lives as faithful disciples of his Son.
(A person who will be confirmed will process down the aisle with the Sacred Chrism.)
Cantor sings:
Baptized and confirmed with Chrism,
We become a holy race.
Members of a priestly people,
Sharers in your life of grace.
All sing:
Son of God, anointed Savior,
Priest and prophet, humble king!
Bless this oil for our anointing:
So may we your praises sing.
Msgr. Bell: Through anointing with this perfumed Chrism may children and adults, who are baptized and confirmed, and presbyters, who are ordained, experience the gracious gift of the Holy Spirit.
Cantor sings:
Oil of blessing, holy oil,
Fragrance of the Spirit’s breath!
All sing:
Oil of blessing, holy oil,
Fragrance of the Spirit’s breath!

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
Stay Here and Keep Watch With Me
Transfer of

Upon the conclusion of the Communion Rite, the remaining Eucharistic bread is carried solemnly from the altar.

Hymn – Lord Who Throughout These Forty Days
Lord, who throughout these forty days,
For us did fast and pray,
Teach us with you to mourn our sins,
And close by you to stay.
As you with Satan did contend,
And did the vict’ry win,
O give us strength in you to fight,
In you to conquer sin.
As you did hunger and did thirst,
So teach us, gracious Lord,
To die to self, and so to live
By your most holy word.
Abide with us that through this life
Of suff’ring and of pain
An Easter of unending joy
We may at last attain.
Psalmody - Psalm 80
Leader: Look, O Lord, and see my suffering. Come quickly to my aid.
Side 1: O shepherd of Israel, hear us, you who lead Joseph’s flock, shine forth from your cherubim throne upon Ephraim, Benjamin, Manasseh. O Lord, rouse up your might, O Lord, come to our help.
Side 2: God of hosts bring us back; let your face shine on us and we shall be saved.
Side 1: Lord God of hosts, how long will you frown on your people’s plea? You have fed them with tears for their bread, an abundance of tears for their drink. You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, our enemies laugh us to scorn.
Side 2: God of hosts, bring us back; let your face shine on us and we shall be saved.
Side 1: You brought a vine out of Egypt; to plant it you drove out the nations. Before it you cleared the ground; it took root and spread through the land.
Side 2: The mountains were covered with its shadow, the cedars of God with its boughs. It stretched out its branches to the sea, to the Great River it stretched out its shoots.
Side 1: Then why have you broken down its walls? It is plucked by all who pass by. It is ravaged by the boar of the forest, devoured by the beasts of the field.
Side 2: God of hosts, turn again, we implore, look down from heaven and see. Visit the vine and protect it, the vine your right hand has planted. Men have burnt it with fire and destroyed it. May they perish at the frown of your face.
Side 1: May your hand be on the man you have chosen, the man you have given your strength. And we shall never forsake you again; give us life that we may call upon your name.
Side 2: God of hosts, bring us back; let your face shine on us and we shall be saved.
Side 1: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Side 2: As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Psalm-prayer
Leader: Lord God, eternal shepherd, you so tend the vineyard you planted that now it extends its branches even to the farthest coast. Look down on your Church and come to us. Help us remain in your Son as branches on the vine, that, planted firmly in your love, we may testify before the whole world to your great power working everywhere.
All: Look, O Lord, and see my suffering. Come quickly to my aid.
Canticle – Isaiah 12:1-6
Leader: God is my savior; I trust in him and shall not fear.

Side 2: God indeed is my savior; I am confident and unafraid. My strength and my courage is the Lord, and he has been my savior. With joy you will draw water at the fountain of salvation, and say on that day:
Side 1: Give thanks to the Lord, acclaim his name; among the nations make known his deeds, proclaim how exalted is his name.
Side 2: Sing praise to the Lord for his glorious achievement; let this be known throughout all the earth. Shout with exultation, O city of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel!
Side 1: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Side 2: As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Psalm 81
Leader: The Lord has fed us with the finest wheat; he has filled us with honey from the rock.
Side 1: Ring out your joy to God our strength, shout in triumph to the God of Jacob.
Side 2: Raise a song and sound the timbrel, the sweet-sounding harp, and the lute; blow the trumpet at the new moon, when the moon is full, on our feast.
Side 1: For this is Israel’s law, a command of the God of Jacob. He imposed it as a rule on Joseph, when he went out against the land of Egypt.
Side 2: A voice I did not know said to me: “I freed your shoulder from the burden; your hands were freed from the load. You called in distress and I saved you.
Side 1: I answered, concealed in the storm cloud; at the waters of Meribah I tested you. Listen, my people, to my warning. O Israel, if only you would heed!
Side 2: Let there be no foreign god among you, no worship of an alien god. I am the Lord your God, who brought you from the land of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.
Side 1: But my people did not heed my voice and Israel would not obey, so I left them in their stubbornness of heart to follow their own designs.
Side 2: O that my people would heed me, that Israel would walk in my ways! At once I would subdue their foes, turn my hand against their enemies.
Side 1: The Lord’s enemies would cringe at their feet and their subjection would last for ever. But Israel I would feed with finest wheat and fill them with honey from the rock.”
Side 2: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Side 1: As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

A Reading from Hebrews 2:9-10
Leader: We see Jesus crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, that through God’s gracious will he might taste death for the sake of all men. Indeed, it was fitting that when bringing many sons to glory God, for whom and through whom all things exist, should make their leader in the work of salvation perfect through suffering.

He has come to his people and set them free.
He has raised up for us a mighty savior, born of the house of his servant David.
Through his holy prophets, he promised of old that he would save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us.
