Praise to you, O Christ, our Savior,
Word of the Father, calling us to life;
Son of God who leads us to freedom:
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
1. You are the Word who calls us out of darkness;
You are the Word who leads us into light;
You are the Word who brings us through the desert:
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
2. You are the one whom prophets hoped and longed for;
You are the one who speaks to us today;
You are the one who leads us to our future;
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
3. You are the Word who calls us to be servants;
You are the Word whose only law is love;
You are the Word made flesh who lives among us:
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
4. You are the Word who binds us and unites us;
You are the Word who calls us to be one;
You are the Word who teaches us forgiveness:
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

First Reading -
Neh. 8:2-4a, 5-6. 8-10
Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, which consisted of men, women,
and those children old enough to understand.
Standing at one end of the open place that was before the Water Gate, he read out of the book from daybreak till midday,
in the presence of the men, the women,
and those children old enough to understand; and all the people listened attentively to the book of the law.
Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden platform
that had been made for the occasion.
He opened the scroll so that all the people might see it — for he was standing higher up than any of the people —; and, as he opened it, all the people rose.
Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God,
and all the people, their hands raised high, answered, "Amen, amen!"
Then they bowed down and prostrated themselves before the LORD,
their faces to the ground.
Ezra read plainly from the book of the law of God, interpreting it so that all could understand what was read.
Then Nehemiah, that is, His Excellency, and Ezra the priest-scribe and the Levites who were instructing the people said to all the people:
"Today is holy to the LORD your God.
Do not be sad, and do not weep"— for all the people were weeping as they heard the words of the law.
He said further: "Go, eat rich foods and drink sweet drinks, and allot portions to those who had nothing prepared; for today is holy to our LORD.
Do not be saddened this day, for rejoicing in the LORD must be your strength!"
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm -Psalm 19
R. (cf John 6:63c) Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.
The law of the LORD is perfect,
it revives the soul;
The decrees of the LORD are steadfast;
they give wisdom to the simple.
R. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.
The precepts of the LORD are right,
they gladden the heart;
The command of the LORD is clear,
it gives light to the eyes.
R. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.
The fear of the LORD is pure,
abiding forever;
The judgements of the LORD are true,
they are, all of them, just.
R. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.
May the spoken words of my mouth, the thoughts of my heart,
win favor in your sight, O LORD,
my rock and my redeemer!
R. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.

Second Reading -
1 Cor. 12:12-30
Brothers and sisters:
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.
Now the body is not a single part, but many.
If a foot should say, "Because I am not a hand I do not belong to the body, "
it does not for this reason belong any less to the body.
Or if an ear should say, "Because I am not an eye I do not belong to the body, "
it does not for this reason belong any less to the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be?
If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
But as it is, God placed the parts,
each one of them, in the body as he intended.
If they were all one part, where would the body be?
But as it is, there are many parts, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I do not need you, " nor again the head to the feet, "I do not need you."
Indeed, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are all the more necessary,
and those parts of the body that we consider less honorable we surround with greater honor, and our less presentable parts are treated with greater propriety,
whereas our more presentable parts do not need this.
But God has so constructed the body
as to give greater honor to a part that is without it, so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same concern for one another.
If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy.
Now you are Christ's body, and individually parts of it.
Some people God has designated in the church to be, first, apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers;
then, mighty deeds;
then gifts of healing, assistance, administration, and varieties of tongues.
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers?
Do all work mighty deeds? Do all have gifts of healing?
Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation
R: Alleluia, alleluia!

R: Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia!
Gospel -
Luke 1:1-4; 4:14-21
Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
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).
Since many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the events that have been fulfilled among us, just as those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning
and ministers of the word have handed them down to us, I too have decided,
after investigating everything accurately anew, to write it down in an orderly sequence for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may realize the certainty of the teachings you have received.
Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news of him spread throughout the whole region.
He taught in their synagogues and was praised by all.
He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, and went according to his custom
into the synagogue on the sabbath day.
He stood up to read and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah.
He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring glad tidings to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.
Rolling up the scroll, he handed it back to the attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at him.
He said to them,
"Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing."
The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Homily (please sit)
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,
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.
General Intercessions:
After each prayer, respond: Lord, hear our prayer.

Offertory Song - 834 - We are Many Parts
We are many parts, we are all one body,
and the gifts we have we are given to share.
May the Spirit of love make us one indeed;
one, the love that we share,
one, our hope in despair,
one, the cross that we bear.
1. God of all, we look to you,
we would be your servants true,
let us be your love to all the world.
2. So my pain is pain for you,
in your joy is my joy, too;
all is brought together in the Lord.
3. All you seekers, great and small,
seek the greatest gift of all;
if you love, then you will know the Lord.

Communion Hymn - 932 - One Bread, One Body
One bread, one body, one Lord of all,
One cup of blessing which we bless.
And we, though many, throughout the earth,
We are one body in this one Lord.
Gentile or Jew,
Servant or free,
Woman or man, no more!Many the gifts,
Many the works,
One in the Lord of all.Grain for the fields,
Scattered and grown,
Gathered to one, for all.

Recessional Hymn - 606 - Glory and Praise to Our God
Glory and praise to our God,
who alone gives light to our days.
Many are the blessings he bears
to those who trust in his ways.
We, the daughters and sons of him,
who built the valleys and plains,
Praise the wonders our God has done
in every heart that sings.In his wisdom he strengthens us,
like gold that's tested in fire.
Though the power of sin prevails,
our God is there to save.Every moment of every day
our God is waiting to save.
Always ready to seek the lost,
to answer those who pray.
