Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Processional Hymn - The Kingdom Song

From eternity to eternity
Your kingdom will ever reign
You are the one God Jesus
And we bear Your name
From the rulers North
To the rulers South
To the kingdoms East and West
They will bow before You
Your lordship confess
Your oceans clap their hands
Your trees they wave their branches
Your rivers run with praise
All creation will praise

Lord we delight in Your rule
Your kingdom's advancing
And Lord we are moving with You
Lord we delight in Your reign
Creation will praise You
And Lord we exalt Your great name

1st Reading – Sirach 27:4-7

When a sieve is shaken, the husks appear; so do one’s faults when one speaks.
As the test of what the potter molds is in the furnace, so in tribulation is the test of the just.
The fruit of a tree shows the care it has had; so too does one’s speech disclose the bent of one’s mind.
Praise no one before he speaks, for it is then that people are tested.

Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 92

R. Lord, it is good to give thanks to you, Lord, it is good to give thanks to you.

2nd Reading – 1 Corinthians 15:54-58

Brothers and sisters:
When this which is corruptible clothes itself with incorruptibility and this which is mortal clothes itself with immortality, then the word that is written shall come about:

Death is swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, steadfast, always fully devoted to the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

Gospel – Luke 6:39-45

Jesus told his disciples a parable:
“Can a blind person guide a blind person?
Will not both fall into a pit?
No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher.
Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own?
How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye?
You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother’s eye.
A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit.
For every tree is known by its own fruit.
For people do not pick figs from thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles.
A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.”

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.

Offertory Hymn - Consume Me

Completely consume me Lord
(Completely consume me Lord)
Completely consume me Lord
(Completely consume me Lord)

I am the clay You are the Potter
I am the child You are the Father

The only thing I want is to be
Captured and surrounded by Your love
Oh Lord won't You consume me
The only thing I need is to be
Captured and surrounded by Your love
Oh Lord won't You consume me completely

Communion Hymn - Christ Is 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

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
Singing O death where is your sting
O hell where is your victory
O church come stand in the light
Our God is not dead He's alive He's alive

Recessional Hymn - God's Not Dead (Like A Lion)

Let love explode and bring the dead to life
A love so bold to see a revolution somehow
Let love explode and bring the dead to life
A love so bold to see a revolution somehow

Now I'm lost in Your freedom
Oh this world I'll overcome

My God's not dead
He's surely alive
And He's living on the inside roaring like a lion
My God's not dead
He's surely alive
And He's living on the inside roaring like a lion

Let hope arise and make the darkness hide
My faith is dead I need a resurrection somehow
Let love explode and bring the dead to life
A love so bold to see a revolution somehow

Let heaven roar and fire fall
Come shake the ground with the sound of revival
Let heaven roar and fire fall
Come shake the ground with the sound of revival
