Come with Praise
Dan Schutte, SJ

Come with praise, People of God!
Come with your heart’s thanksgiving.
Sing for joy, House of the Lord!
Sing of your bounteous blessing!

Come you poor of the land,
all who live with hearts of hunger.
Come and taste the love of the Lord
and you will be filled.

Come with praise, People of God!
Come with your heart’s thanksgiving.
Sing for joy, House of the Lord!
Sing of your bounteous blessing!

Come you captives of fear,
all who bear the yoke of hatred.
God has heard the cry of your soul
and broken your chains.

Come with praise, People of God!
Come with your heart’s thanksgiving.
Sing for joy, House of the Lord!
Sing of your bounteous blessing!

Come you wounded and worn,
all who know the face of sorrow.
God will heal the pain of your heart
and gladden your soul.

Come with praise, People of God!
Come with your heart’s thanksgiving.
Sing for joy, House of the Lord!
Sing of your bounteous blessing!






Psalmody

PSALMODY

Ant. 1 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, 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 for ever. Amen.

Psalm Prayer

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.

Ant. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, alleluia.

Ant. 2 Let us sing a hymn of praise to our God, alleluia.

Canticle: Daniel 3:52-57
Let all creatures praise the Lord




Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers, *
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever;

And blessed is your holy and glorious name, *
praiseworthy and exalted above all for all ages.

Blessed are you in the temple of your holy glory, *
praiseworthy and glorious above all forever.

Blessed are you on the throne of your kingdom, *
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.

Blessed are you who look into the depths
from your throne upon the cherubim, *
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.

Blessed are you in the firmament of heaven, *
praiseworthy and glorious forever.

Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord, *
praise and exalt him above all forever.

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 us sing a hymn of praise to our God, alleluia.

Ant. 3
Praise the Lord for his infinite greatness, alleluia.

Psalm 150
Praise the Lord




Praise God in his holy place, *
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his powerful deeds, *
praise his surpassing greatness.

O praise him with sound of trumpet, *
praise him with lute and harp.
Praise him with timbrel and dance, *
praise him with strings and pipes.

O praise him with resounding cymbals, *
praise him with clashing of cymbals.
Let everything that lives and that breathes *
give praise to the Lord.

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.

Psalm Prayer

Lord God, maker of heaven and earth and of all created things, you make your just ones holy and you justify sinners who confess your name. Hear us as we humbly pray to you: give us eternal joy with your saints.

Ant. Praise the Lord for his infinite greatness, alleluia.

1st Reading

Nm 11:25-29

A reading from the Book of Numbers

The LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to Moses.
Taking some of the spirit that was on Moses,
   the LORD bestowed it on the seventy elders;
   and as the spirit came to rest on them, they prophesied.
Now two men, one named Eldad and the other Medad,
   were not in the gathering but had been left in the camp.
They too had been on the list, but had not gone out to the tent;
   yet the spirit came to rest on them also,
   and they prophesied in the camp.
So, when a young man quickly told Moses,
   “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp,”
   Joshua, son of Nun, who from his youth had been Moses’ aide, said,
   “Moses, my lord, stop them.”
But Moses answered him,
   “Are you jealous for my sake?
Would that all the people of the LORD were prophets!
Would that the LORD might bestow his spirit on them all!”

The word of the Lord.

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm

℟. (9a) The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.

The law of the LORD is perfect,
   refreshing the soul;
the decree of the LORD is trustworthy,
   giving wisdom to the simple.

℟. The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.

The fear of the LORD is pure,
   enduring forever;
the ordinances of the LORD are true,
   all of them just.

℟. The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.

Though your servant is careful of them,
   very diligent in keeping them,
yet who can detect failings?
   Cleanse me from my unknown faults!

℟. The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.

From wanton sin especially, restrain your servant;
   let it not rule over me.
Then shall I be blameless
   and innocent of serious sin.

℟. The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.



2nd Reading

Jas 5:1-6

A reading from the Letter of Saint James

Come now, you rich, weep and wail over your impending miseries.
Your wealth has rotted away, your clothes have become moth-eaten,
   your gold and silver have corroded,
   and that corrosion will be a testimony against you;
   it will devour your flesh like a fire.
You have stored up treasure for the last days.
Behold, the wages you withheld from the workers
   who harvested your fields are crying aloud;
   and the cries of the harvesters
   have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.
You have lived on earth in luxury and pleasure;
   you have fattened your hearts for the day of slaughter.
You have condemned;
   you have murdered the righteous one;
   he offers you no resistance.

The word of the Lord.

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Alleluia, Alleluia.

 Your word, O Lord, is truth;
consecrate us in the truth.

Alleluia, Alleluia.



Gospel

Mk 9:38-43, 45, 47-48

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark

At that time, John said to Jesus,
“Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name,
   and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us.”
Jesus replied, “Do not prevent him.
There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name
   who can at the same time speak ill of me.
For whoever is not against us is for us.
Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink
   because you belong to Christ,
   amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward.

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,
   it would be better for him if a great millstone
   were put around his neck
   and he were thrown into the sea.
If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.
It is better for you to enter into life maimed
   than with two hands to go into Gehenna,
   into the unquenchable fire.
And if your foot causes you to sin, cut if off.
It is better for you to enter into life crippled
   than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna.
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.
Better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye
   than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna,
   where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’”

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.

O God beyond all praising

O God beyond all praising,

and sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
for we can only wonder
at every gift you send,
at blessings without number
and mercies without end:
we lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your word,
we honor and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.

Then hear, O gracious Savior,
accept the love we bring,
that we who know your favor
may serve you as our king;
and whether our tomorrows
be filled with good or ill,
we'II triumph through our sorrows
and rise to bless you still:
to marvel at your beauty
and glory in your ways,
and make a joyful duty
our sacrifice of praise.







Gospel Canticle

Ant. Whoever gives you a cup of water in my name because you are a follower of Christ, shall not go unrewarded, says the Lord.

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. Whoever gives you a cup of water in my name because you are a follower of Christ, shall not go unrewarded, says the Lord.

Through your pain you will discover me.
