12th Sunday in Ordinary Time - 7am
The heavens are telling
the glory of God, and all creation is shouting for joy.
Come, dance in the forest,
come, play in the field,
and sing, sing to
the glory of the Lord.
Praise for the wind
that blows through the trees,
the seas mighty storms,
the gentlest breeze;
They blow where they will,
they blow where they please
to please the Lord.
The heavens are telling
the glory of God, and all creation is shouting for joy.
Come, dance in the forest,
come, play in the field,
and sing, sing to
the glory of the Lord.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Every moment of ev’ryday
our God is waiting to save,
always ready to seek the lost,
to answer those who pray.
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.
God has watered our
barren land and spent his
merciful rain.
Now the rivers of life run full
for anyone to drink.
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.
Psalmody
PSALMODY
Ant. 1 Praise the Lord, for his loving kindness will never fail, alleluia.
Psalm 118
Song of joy for salvation
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, *
for his love endures forever.
Let the sons of Israel say: *
“His love endures for ever.”
Let the sons of Aaron say: *
“His love endures for ever.”
Let those who fear the Lord say: *
“His love endures for ever.”
I called to the Lord in my distress; *
he answered and freed me.
The Lord is at my side; I do not fear. *
what can man do against me?
The Lord is at my side as my helper:*
I shall look down on my foes.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord *
than to trust in men;
it is better to take refuge in the Lord *
than to trust in princes.
The nations all encompassed me; *
in the Lord’s name I crushed them.
They compassed me, compassed me about; *
in the Lord’s name I crushed them.
They compassed me about like bees; †
they blazed like a fire among thorns. *
In the Lord’s name I crushed them.
I was hard-pressed and was falling, *
but the Lord came to help me.
The Lord is my strength and my song; *
he is my savior.
There are shouts of joy and victory *
in the tents of the just.
The Lord’s right hand has triumphed; *
his right hand raised me.
The Lord’s right hand has triumphed; †
I shall not die, I shall live *
and recount his deeds.
I was punished, I was punished by the Lord, *
but not doomed to die.
Open to me the gates of holiness: *
I will enter and give thanks.
This is the Lord’s own gate *
where the just may enter.
I will thank you for you have answered *
and you are my savior.
The stone which the builders rejected *
has become the corner stone.
This is the work of the Lord, *
a marvel in our eyes.
This day was made by the Lord; *
we rejoice and are glad.
O Lord, grant us salvation; *
O Lord, grant success.
Blessed in the name of the Lord *
is he who comes.
We bless you from the house of the Lord; *
the Lord God is our light.
Go forward in procession with branches *
even to the altar.
You are my God, I thank you. *
My God, I praise you.
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good; *
for his love endures for ever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,*
and will be forever. Amen.

Lord God, you have given us the great day of rejoicing: Jesus Christ, the stone rejected by the builders, has become the cornerstone of the Church, our spiritual home. Shed upon your Church the rays of your glory, that it may be seen as the gate of salvation open to all nations. Let cries of joy and exultation ring out from its tents, to celebrate the wonder of Christ’s resurrection.

Jb 38:1, 8-11
A reading from the Book of Job
The Lord addressed Job out of the storm and said:
Who shut within doors the sea,
when it burst forth from the womb;
when I made the clouds its garment
and thick darkness its swaddling bands?
When I set limits for it
and fastened the bar of its door,
and said: Thus far shall you come but no farther,
and here shall your proud waves be stilled!
Thanks be to God.

2nd Reading
2 Cor 5:14-17
A reading from the second Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians
Brothers and sisters:
The love of Christ impels us,
once we have come to the conviction that one died for all;
therefore, all have died.
He indeed died for all,
so that those who live might no longer live for themselves
but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
Consequently, from now on we regard no one according to the flesh;
even if we once knew Christ according to the flesh,
yet now we know him so no longer.
So whoever is in Christ is a new creation:
the old things have passed away;
behold, new things have come.
Thanks be to God.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
A great prophet has risen in our midst.
God has visited his people.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
Gospel
Mk 4:35-41
✠ A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark
On that day, as evening drew on, Jesus said to his disciples:
“Let us cross to the other side.”
Leaving the crowd, they took Jesus with them in the boat just as he was.
And other boats were with him.
A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat,
so that it was already filling up.
Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion.
They woke him and said to him,
“Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”
He woke up,
rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!”
The wind ceased and there was great calm.
Then he asked them, “Why are you terrified?
Do you not yet have faith?”
They were filled with great awe and said to one another,
“Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?”
Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ.
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 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.

Gospel Canticle
Ant. Help us, O Lord, for we are troubled; give the command, O God, and bring us peace.
Canticle of Zechariah
Luke 1:68-79
The Messiah and his forerunner
Blessed + be the Lord, the God of Israel; *
he has come to his people and set them free.
He has raised up for us a mighty savior, *
born of the house of his servant David.
Through his holy prophets he promised of old †
that he would save us from our enemies, *
from the hands of all who hate us.
He promised to show mercy to our fathers *
and to remember his holy covenant.
This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham: *
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
free to worship him without fear, *
holy and righteous in his sight
all the days of our life.
You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; *
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
to give his people knowledge of salvation *
by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God *
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, *
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. Help us, O Lord, for we are troubled; give the command, O God, and bring us peace.
I will sing forever of Your love,
O Lord, I will celebrate the
wonder of Your name.
For the word that You speak
is a song of forgiveness
and a song of gentle
mercy and of peace.
Let us wake at the morning
and be filled with Your love
and sing songs of praise
all our days,
for Your love is as high
as the heavens above us,
and Your faithfulness
as certain as the dawn.
I will sing forever of Your love,
O Lord, for You are my
refuge and my strength.
You fill the world with
Your life-giving spirit
that speaks Your word, Your
word of mercy and of peace.
And I will sing forever
of Your love, O Lord.
Yes I will sing forever
of Your love, O Lord.
Blest be the Lord;
blest be the Lord,
the God of mercy,
the God who saves.
I shall not fear the dark
of night, nor the arrow
that flies by day.
He will release me from the
nets of all my foes.
He will protect me from
their wicked hands.
Beneath the shadow of His wings
I will rejoice to find a
dwelling place secure.
Blest be the Lord;
blest be the Lord,
the God of mercy,
the God who saves.
I shall not fear the dark
of night, nor the arrow
that flies by day.
I need not shrink before
the terrors of the night,
nor stand alone before
the light of day.
No harm shall come to me,
no arrow strike me down,
no evil settle in my soul.
Blest be the Lord;
blest be the Lord,
the God of mercy,
the God who saves.
I shall not fear the dark
of night, nor the arrow
that flies by day.
Although a thousand men
have fallen at my side,
I'll not be shaken
with the Lord at hand.
His faithful love is all the
armor that I need to wage
my battle with my foe.
Blest be the Lord;
blest be the Lord,
the God of mercy,
the God who saves.
I shall not fear the dark
of night, nor the arrow
that flies by day.
