Sing a new song unto the Lord; let your song be sung from mountains high.

Liturgy of the Word

First Reading - Acts 14:21-27

After Paul and Barnabas had proclaimed the good news to that city and made a considerable number of disciples,
they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch.
They strengthened the spirits of the disciples and exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying,
“It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.”
They appointed elders for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had put their faith.
Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.
After proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia. From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now accomplished.
And when they arrived, they called the church together and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 145

R/. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

I will extol you, O my God and King,
and I will bless your name forever and ever.
Every day will I bless you, and I will praise your name forever and ever.
R/. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

The LORD is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and of great kindness.
The LORD is good to all
and compassionate toward all his works. R/. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

Let all your works give you thanks, O LORD,
and let your faithful ones bless you.
Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might.
R/. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

The LORD is faithful in all his words
and holy in all his works.
The LORD lifts up all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down. R/. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

Second Reading - Rev. 21: 1-5a

Then I, John, saw a new heaven and a new earth.
The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
“Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be his people and God himself will always be with them as their God.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes,
and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, for the old order has passed away.”

The One who sat on the throne said,
“Behold, I make all things new.”'

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

(please stand)

When Judas had left them, Jesus said,

If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and God will glorify him at once.
My children, I will be with you only a little while longer.
I give you a new commandment: love one another.
As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.
This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Offertory Hymn - 642 - What Wonderous Love

1. What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!

What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul;
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul!

2. To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb,
who is the great I AM,
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme, I will sing.

3. And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on;
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on.
And when from death I'm free,
I'll sing and joyful be,
And through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on;
And through eternity I'll sing on.

Ubi caritas est vera, est vera
Deus ibi est
Deus ibi est

1. The love of Christ joins us together
   Let us rejoice in him
   And in our love and care for all
   Now love God in return

2. In true communion let us gather
   May all division cease
   And in their place be Christ the Lord
   Our risen Prince of Peace

3. May we who gather at this table
   To share the bread of life
   Become a sacrament of love
   Your healing touch, O Christ

4. For those in need make us your mercy
   For those oppressed, your might
   Make us, your Church, a holy sign
   Of justice and new life

5. May we one day behold your glory
   And see you face to face
   Rejoicing with the saints of God
   To sing eternal praise

   He lives to plead for me above;
   He lives my hungry soul to feed;
   He lives to help in time of need.

3. He lives and grants me daily breath;
   He lives, and I shall conquer death;
   He lives, my mansion to prepare;
   He lives to bring me safely there.

4. He lives, all glory to his name;
   He lives, my Savior, still the same;
   What joy this blest assurance gives:
   I know that my Redeemer lives!
