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 sun, the bringer
of day, He carries the light
of the Lord in his rays;
The moon and the stars
who light up the way
unto your throne.
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.
Praise for the earth,
who makes life to grow,
the creatures You made,
to let Your life show;
the flowers and trees,
that help us to know,
the heart of love.
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.
Sing, sing to the
glory of the Lord!

1st Reading
Hab 1:2-3; 2:2-4
A reading from the Book of the Prophet Habakkuk
How long, O LORD? I cry for help
but you do not listen!
I cry out to you, “Violence!”
but you do not intervene.
Why do you let me see ruin;
why must I look at misery?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and clamorous discord.
Then the LORD answered me and said:
Write down the vision clearly upon the tablets,
so that one can read it readily.
For the vision still has its time,
presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint;
if it delays, wait for it,
it will surely come, it will not be late.
The rash one has no integrity;
but the just one, because of his faith, shall live.
Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
℟. (8) If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD;
let us acclaim the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us joyfully sing psalms to him.
℟. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
For he is our God,
and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides.
℟. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Oh, that today you would hear his voice:
“Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,
as in the day of Massah in the desert,
Where your fathers tempted me;
they tested me though they had seen my works.”
℟. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
2nd Reading
2 Tm 1:6-8, 13-14
A reading from the second Letter of Saint Paul to Timothy
Beloved:
I remind you, to stir into flame
the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands.
For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice
but rather of power and love and self-control.
So do not be ashamed of your testimony to our Lord,
nor of me, a prisoner for his sake;
but bear your share of hardship for the gospel
with the strength that comes from God.
Take as your norm the sound words that you heard from me,
in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Guard this rich trust with the help of the Holy Spirit
that dwells within us.
Thanks be to God.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
The word of the Lord remains for ever.
This is the word that has been proclaimed to you.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
Gospel
Lk 17:5-10
✠ A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
The Lord replied,
“If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,
you would say to this mulberry tree,
‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
“Who among you would say to your servant
who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field,
‘Come here immediately and take your place at table’?
Would he not rather say to him,
‘Prepare something for me to eat.
Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink.
You may eat and drink when I am finished’?
Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded?
So should it be with you.
When you have done all you have been commanded,
say, ‘We are unprofitable servants;
we have done what we were obliged to do.’”
At the end of the Gospel, the Deacon, or the Priest, acclaims:
The Gospel of the Lord.
All reply:
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Then he kisses the book, saying quietly:
Through the words of the Gospel
may our sins be wiped away.
The Creed is said.
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.
The bread by Your hand
was once a seed t'was sown.
Then grew and yielded
on the ground,
and gathered all for men.
The wine by Your cup
was once a vine that crept.
It grew to bear good fruits for men: a symbol of your Blood.
Of that seed, we eat Your Body, our Bread of Life!
Of that vine, we drink
Your Blood, the
Wine of new covenant.
Accept, Lord, we offer
these seeds and vines of life.
Expressions of our gratitude,
we consecrate to You.
Of that seed, we eat Your Body, our Bread of Life!
Of that vine, we drink
Your Blood, the
Wine of new covenant.
The seeds and vines of Life.

When we eat this Bread
and drink this Cup,
we proclaim your Death,
O Lord,
until you come again,
until you come again,
we proclaim your Death,
O Lord.
M.V. Francisco, SJ
Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread, and
forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who
trespass against us;
and lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us,
deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and forever.
M.V. Francisco, SJ

nothingness vanish like breath.
My soul finds rest
in God alone.
My salvation comes from Him.
He alone is my rock,
my salvation my fortress.
I shall never be afraid.
I shall never be afraid.
You Yourself, Lord have said
“I am your strength,
I am Your deliverer, loving and
merciful, Father of all.”
My soul finds rest
in God alone.
My salvation comes from Him.
He alone is my rock,
my salvation my fortress.
I shall never be afraid.
I shall never be afraid.
Gospel Canticle
Ant. Let the little children come to me, for they are at home in my Father’s kingdom.
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. Let the little children come to me, for they are at home in my Father’s kingdom.

Minsan ang buhay
ay isang awit ng galak
at mayroong liwanag na
tatanglaw sa ating pagyapak.
At kahit anong tindi ng unos,
at kahit anong tindi ng dilim
may isang inang nagmamatyag,
nagmamahal sa 'tin.
O Inang mahal, narito kami
awit-awit ang “Ave Maria!”
at dalangin ng bawat
pamilya'y kapayapaa't pagkakaisa.
Ang rosaryo mong
hawak namin at
awit-awit ang “Ave Maria!”
Puspos ka ng diwang banal,
dinggin ang aming payak na dasal:
‘‘Ihatid mo kami sa langit
ng Amang Mapagmahal.’’
