27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Processional Song - Come to Jesus
People of the God of ages
Welcome to your brand new day
Leave the world and all its trappings
Come into amazing grace
Let go your ev'ry fear
There is only mercy here
Come to Jesus
Hope that frees us
Life that breathes in us
Come to Jesus
And believe that He is love
All who walk alone in shadow
All who stand with faith assured
Those who follow with abandon
Those who long for something more
These are the gifts we bring
Our lives the offering
Welcome pauper rich man leper
Hungry exiled joyful poor
Come you pris'ner free man sinner
Come to the Lord (Come to the Lord)
Come to the Lord
First Reading - Hab. 1:2-3; 2:2-4
How long, O LORD? I cry for help
but you do not listen!
I cry out to you, "Violence!"
but you do not intervene.
Why do you let me see ruin;
why must I look at misery?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and clamorous discord.
Then the LORD answered me and said:
Write down the vision clearly upon the tablets, so that one can read it readily.
For the vision still has its time,
presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint; if it delays, wait for it,
it will surely come, it will not be late.
The rash one has no integrity;
but the just one, because of his faith, shall live.
Responsorial Psalm -
Psalm 95
R. (8) If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD;
let us acclaim the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us joyfully sing psalms to him.
R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
For he is our God,
and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides.
R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Oh, that today you would hear his voice:
"Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,
as in the day of Massah in the desert,
Where your fathers tempted me;
they tested me though they had seen my works."
R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Second Reading - 2 Timothy 1:6-8, 13-14
Beloved:
I remind you, to stir into flame
the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands.
For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control. So do not be ashamed of your testimony to our Lord, nor of me, a prisoner for his sake; but bear your share of hardship for the gospel with the strength that comes from God.
Take as your norm the sound words that you heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Guard this rich trust with the help of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us.
Gospel - Luke 17:5-10
The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
The Lord replied,
"If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
"Who among you would say to your servant
who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field,
'Come here immediately and take your place at table'?
Would he not rather say to him,
'Prepare something for me to eat.
Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink.
You may eat and drink when I am finished'?
Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded?
So should it be with you. When you have done all you have been commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.'"
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.
Offertory Song - Come, Spirit of God
I’m in need of your cross,
I’m in need of your mercy
I’m in need of your grace
Increase my faith
Wash away all my sin
Make me whole once again
Heal me, send out your mercy
Fill up this place with mercy and grace
Give me the strength for another day
Come Spirit
Come Spirit
Come Spirit of God
Communion 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
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
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
Always
