(please stand)


Entrance Antiphon

Your merciful love, O God, we have received in the midst of your temple. Your praise, O God, like your name, reaches the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with saving justice.


Processional Hymn - Here I Am to Worship

Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes let me see
Beauty that made
This heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
And You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

Liturgy of the Word

First Reading -
Malachi 3:1-4

Thus says the Lord GOD:
Lo, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me;
And suddenly there will come to the temple
the LORD whom you seek,
And the messenger of the covenant whom you desire.
 Yes, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.
But who will endure the day of his coming?
And who can stand when he appears?
For he is like the refiner’s fire, or like the fuller’s lye.
He will sit refining and purifying silver,
and he will purify the sons of Levi,
Refining them like gold or like silver that they may offer due sacrifice to the LORD.
Then the sacrifice of Judah and Jerusalem will please the LORD, as in the days of old, as in years gone by.


The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm -Psalm 24

R.    (8) Who is this king of glory?  It is the Lord!
Lift up, O gates, your lintels;
    reach up, you ancient portals,
    that the king of glory may come in!
R.    Who is this king of glory?  It is the Lord!
Who is this king of glory?
    The LORD, strong and mighty,
    the LORD, mighty in battle.
R.    Who is this king of glory?  It is the Lord!
Lift up, O gates, your lintels;
    reach up, you ancient portals,
    that the king of glory may come in!
R.    Who is this king of glory?  It is the Lord!
Who is this king of glory?
    The LORD of hosts; he is the king of glory.
R.    Who is this king of glory?  It is the Lord!

Second Reading -
Heb. 2:14-18

Since the children share in blood and flesh,
Jesus likewise shared in them, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the Devil, and free those who through fear of death had been subject to slavery all their life.
Surely he did not help angels but rather the descendants of Abraham; therefore, he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every way, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest before God to expiate the sins of the people.
Because he himself was tested through what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation

R: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Gospel -
Luke 2:22-32

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).

When the days were completed for their purification
according to the law of Moses,
Mary and Joseph took Jesus up to Jerusalem
to present him to the Lord,
just as it is written in the law of the Lord,
Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord,
and to offer the sacrifice of
a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons,
in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord. 

Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon.
This man was righteous and devout,
awaiting the consolation of Israel,
and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit
that he should not see death
before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. 
He came in the Spirit into the temple;
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus
to perform the custom of the law in regard to him,
he took him into his arms and blessed God, saying:

    “Now, Master, you may let your servant go 
        in peace, according to your word,
    for my eyes have seen your salvation,
        which you prepared in the sight of all the peoples:
    a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
        and glory for your people Israel.”

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.

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 - High Above Our Way

There’s a love that is
greater than my own
There’s a Spirit that brings me
back to life
There’s a seed that’s been
planted in my soul
That can only grow
in the light of Christ

  1. There’s a mercy that’s wider
    than my own
    There’s a hope every sinner
    can be saved
    There’s a power that
    rolls away the stone
    That is only found in the light of Christ

    Refrain:
    High above our way
    is the mind of God
    Love much greater than my own
    Into Your hands I commend my life
    True love is found in Christ alone

    (REPEAT)

  2. There is water for every thirsty soul
    There is bread that will truly satisfy
    There’s a seed that’s been
    planted in my soul
    That can only grow
    in the light of Christ
    We can only grow in the light of Christ
    Love can only grow
    in the light of Christ

Bridge:
All you who wander come and see
All you who labor come find peace
Lay down your burden and be free
Come to the Lord
(REPEAT)

4. There’s a love that is
greater than my own
There’s a spirit that brings me
back to life
There’s a seed that’s been
planted in my soul
That can only grow
in the light of Christ

Melody by C. Alcott


Communion Song 1 - Gift of Finest Wheat

You satisfy the hungry heart,
With gift of finest wheat;
Come give to us, O Saving Lord,
The Bread of Life to eat.

  1. As when the shepherd calls his sheep,
    They know and heed his voice;
    So when you call your family Lord,
    They follow and rejoice.

  2. With joyful lips, we sing to you,
    Our praise and gratitude;
    That you should count us worthy Lord,
    To share this Heavenly food.

  3. 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?

  4. The myst’ry of your presence, Lord,
    No mortal tongue can tell;
    Whom all the world cannot contain
    Comes in our hearts to dwell.

  5. You give yourself to us, O Lord;
    Then selfless let us be,
    To serve each other in your name
    In truth and charity.

Closing Song - Reign Above it All

You reign above it all
You reign above it all
Over the universe
And over every heart
There is no higher name
Jesus You reign above it all

Let all of heaven
And the earth erupt in song
Sing hallelujah to the Everlasting One
There is no higher name
Jesus You reign above it all

(Bridge)
You sent the darkness running
Out of an empty grave
Now seated alone in glory
Enthroned on the highest praise
