Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose.Near restful waters he leads me; he revives my soul.

He guides me along the right path, for the sake of his name.Though I should walk in the valley of the shadow of death, no evil would I fear, for you are with me. Your crook and your staff will give me comfort.

You have prepared a table before me in the sight of my foes.My head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.In the LORD’S own house shall I dwell for length of days unending..

Universal Prayer

Symbol of Faith (Nicene Creed)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 salvationhe came down from heaven,At the words that follow up to and including and became man, all bow.

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 dayin accordance with the Scriptures.He ascended into heavenand is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in gloryto judge the living and the deadand 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 sinsand I look forward to the resurrection of the deadand the life of the world to come. Amen.

LITurgy of the eucharIsTOffertory Anthem

Take, Lord, ReceiveJohn Foley, S.J.

To the mountain God guides us, where heaven provides us a feast of rich food and choice wines,A banquet of favor for all who would savor creation’s own perfect design:The veil above people, all sorrow and evil, all powers of darkness dispelled by the Word.The old world is dying, but there is no crying on that wonderful day of the Lord!

These tears that we cry, God will wipe from each eye as our loves and our dreams live anew.Grace casts out all shame and erases all blame as the holy word promised was true.The web over nations is torn by salvation, with death and its terrors forever destroyed.God’s hand rests upon us as victory is won on that glorious day of the Lord!

So let us rejoice as we lift up our voices: “Behold! Behold God who saves!”Be glad all you lands, for the reign is at hand, and our triumph over the grave!From victory home let our new song be borne, set in old keys of love, now forever restored.The night of our dying will be dawn’s arising to greet the new day of the Lord!

page 12Closing Processional Canticle of the Turning Rory Cooney

My soul cries out with a joyful shout that the God of my heart is great,And my spirit sings of the wondrous things that you bring to the ones who wait.You fixed your sight on your servant’s plight and my weakness you did not spurn,So from east to west shall my name be blessed. Could the world be about to turn?Though I am small, my God, my all, you work great things in me,And your mercy will last from the depths of the past to the end of the age to be.Your very name puts the proud to shame, and to those who would for you yearn,You will show your might, put the strong to flight, for the world is about to turn.

My heart shall sing of the day you bring, Let the fires of your justice burn.Wipe away all tears for the dawn draws near And the world is about to turn.

From the halls of power to the fortress tower, not a stone will be left on stone.Let the king beware for your justice tears every tyrant from his throne.The hungry poor shall weep no more, for the food they can never earn;There are tables spread, every mouth be fed, for the world is about to turn. (to refrain)

Though the nations rage from age to age, we remember who holds us fast:God’s mercy must deliver us from the conqueror’s crushing grasp.This saving word that our forebears heard is the promise which holds us bound,‘Til the spear and rod can be crushed by God, who is turning the world around.
