Canticle of the Sun
Marty Haugen

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!

Ant. 1 As morning breaks I look to you, O God, to be my strength this day, alleluia.

Psalm 63:2-9
A soul thirsting for God




O God, you are my God, for you I long; *
for you my soul is thirsting.
My body pines for you *
like a dry, weary land without water.
So I gaze on you in the sanctuary *
to see your strength and your glory.

For your love is better than life, *
my lips will speak your praise.
So I will bless you all my life, *
in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul shall be filled as with a banquet, *
my mouth shall praise you with joy.

On my bed I remember you. *
On you I muse through the night
for you have been my help; *
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.
My soul clings to you; *
your right hand holds me fast.

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.

1st Reading

1 Kg 4:8-11, 14-16a

A reading from the second Book of Kings

One day Elisha came to Shunem,
   where there was a woman of influence, who urged him to dine with her.
Afterward, whenever he passed by, he used to stop there to dine.
So she said to her husband, “I know that Elisha is a holy man of God.
Since he visits us often, let us arrange a little room on the roof
   and furnish it for him with a bed, table, chair, and lamp,
   so that when he comes to us he can stay there.”
Sometime later Elisha arrived and stayed in the room overnight.

Later Elisha asked, “Can something be done for her?”
His servant Gehazi answered, “Yes!
   She has no son, and her husband is getting on in years.”
Elisha said “Call her.”
When the woman had been called, and stood at the door,
   Elisha promised, “This time next year
   you will be fondling a baby son.”

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm

℟. (2a) For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

The promises of the LORD I will sing forever,
   through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.
For you have said, “My kindness is established forever”;
   in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness.

℟. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

Blessed the people who know the joyful shout;
   in the light of your countenance, O LORD, they walk.
At your name they rejoice all the day,
   and through your justice they are exalted.

℟. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

You are the splendor of their strength,
   and by your favor our horn is exalted.
For to the LORD belongs our shield,
   and to the Holy One of Israel, our king.

℟. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.



2nd Reading

Rom 6:3-4, 8-11

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans

Brothers and sisters:
Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus
   were baptized into his death?
We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death,
   so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead
   by the glory of the Father,
   we too might live in newness of life.

If, then, we have died with Christ,
   we believe that we shall also live with him.
We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more;
   death no longer has power over him.
As to his death, he died to sin once and for all;
   as to his life, he lives for God.
Consequently, you too must think of yourselves as dead to sin
   and living for God in Christ Jesus.

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Alleluia, Alleluia.

You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation;
announce the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Alleluia, Alleluia.



Gospel

Mt 10:37-42

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew

Jesus said to his apostles:
“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me,
   and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
   and whoever does not take up his cross
   and follow after me is not worthy of me.
Whoever finds his life will lose it,
   and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Whoever receives you receives me,
   and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.
Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet
   will receive a prophet’s reward,
   and whoever receives a righteous man
   because he is righteous will receive a righteous man’s reward.
And whoever gives only a cup of cold water
   to one of these little ones to drink
   because he is a disciple—
   amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”

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.

The Gospel of the Lord.
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.

Awit ng Paghahangad
Charlie Cenzon, NSJ

O D’yos, Ikaw ang laging
hanap, loob ko’y Ikaw ang
tanging hangad.
Nauuhaw akong parang
tigang na lupa, sa tubig
ng ‘Yong pag-aaruga.

Ika’y pagmamasdan sa
dakong banal, nang makita ko
ang 'Yong pagkarangal.
Dadalangin akong nakataas
aking kamay, magagalak na
aawit ng papuring iaalay.

Gunita ko’y Ikaw habang
nahihimlay pagkat ang
tulong Mo sa tuwina’y taglay.
Sa lilim ng Iyong mga pakpak
umaawit akong buong galak.

Aking kaluluwa’y
kumakapit sa ‘Yo.
Kaligtasa’y t’yak kong
hawak Mo ako.
Magdiriwang ang hari ang
Diyos S’yang dahilan.
Ang sa Iyo ay nangakong
galak yaong makakamtan.

Gunita ko’y Ikaw habang
nahihimlay pagkat ang
tulong Mo sa tuwina’y taglay.
Sa lilim ng Iyong mga pakpak
umaawit, umaawit, umaawit
akong buong galak.







Gospel Canticle

Ant. Jesus, turning, saw the woman and said: Take courage, daughter; your faith has saved you, alleluia.

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. Jesus, turning, saw the woman and said: Take courage, daughter; your faith has saved you, alleluia.
