Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Table of Plenty

Dan Schutte, SJ

Come to the feast of
heaven and earth!
Come to the table of plenty!
God will provide
for all that we need,
here at the table of plenty.

O come and sit at my table
where saints and sinners
are friends.
I wait to welcome the lost
and lonely to share the
cup of my love.

Come to the feast of
heaven and earth!
Come to the table of plenty!
God will provide
for all that we need,
here at the table of plenty.

O come and eat without money;
come to drink without price.
My feast of gladness
will feed your spirit with faith
and fullness of life.

Come to the feast of
heaven and earth!
Come to the table of plenty!
God will provide
for all that we need,
here at the table of plenty.

My bread will ever sustain you
through days of sorrow and woe.
My wine will flow
like a sea of gladness to
flood the depths of your soul.

Come to the feast of
heaven and earth!
Come to the table of plenty!
God will provide
for all that we need,
here at the table of plenty.

Your fields will flower in
fullness; your homes
will flourish in peace. For I,
the giver of home and harvest, will send my rain to the soil.

Come to the feast of
heaven and earth!
Come to the table of plenty!
God will provide
for all that we need,
here at the table of plenty.

Lord, extolled in the heights by angelic powers, you are also praised by all earth’s creatures, each in its own way.

May heaven and earth together acclaim you as king; may the praise that is sung in heaven resound in the heart of every creature on earth.

Ant. Praise the Lord from the heavens, alleluia.

Luwalhati sa Diyos

Nicolas Sengson, SVD

Luwalhati sa Diyos
sa kaitaasan! Kaloob
sa lupa ay kapayapaan.

Pinupuri ka‘t ipinagdarangal,
sinasamba Ka dahil sa
dakila mong kal’walhatian.

Panginoon naming Diyos,
Hari ng langit,
Amang makapangyarihan.
Panginoong Hesukristo,
Bugtong na Anak ng Diyos,
Kordero ng Ama,
Ikaw na nag-aalis ng mga
kasalanan ng sanlibutan,
Tanggapin Mo ang aming
kahilingan;
Ikaw na naluluklok sa kanan
ng Ama, maawa Ka sa amin.

Ikaw lamang ang banal,
Paginoong HesuKristo,
kasama ng Espiritu,
sa l’walhati ng Ama.

Amen, Amen,
A-men, Amen.

1st Reading

1 Sm 26:2, 7-9, 12-13, 22-23

A reading from the first Book of Samuel

In those days, Saul went down to the desert of Ziph
with three thousand picked men of Israel,
to search for David in the desert of Ziph.
So David and Abishai went among Saul’s soldiers by night
and found Saul lying asleep within the barricade,
with his spear thrust into the ground at his head
and Abner and his men sleeping around him.

Abishai whispered to David:
“God has delivered your enemy into your grasp this day.
Let me nail him to the ground with one thrust of the spear;
I will not need a second thrust!”
But David said to Abishai, “Do not harm him,
for who can lay hands on the LORD’S anointed and remain unpunished?”
So David took the spear and the water jug from their place at Saul’s head,
and they got away without anyone’s seeing or knowing or awakening.
All remained asleep,
because the LORD had put them into a deep slumber.

Going across to an opposite slope,
David stood on a remote hilltop
at a great distance from Abner, son of Ner, and the troops.
He said: “Here is the king’s spear.
Let an attendant come over to get it.
The LORD will reward each man for his justice and faithfulness.
Today, though the LORD delivered you into my grasp,
I would not harm the LORD’S anointed.”

The word of the Lord.

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm

℟. (8) The Lord is kind and merciful.

Bless the LORD, O my soul;
and all my being, bless his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits.

℟. The Lord is kind and merciful.

He pardons all your iniquities,
heals all your ills.
He redeems your life from destruction,
crowns you with kindness and compassion.

℟. The Lord is kind and merciful.

Merciful and gracious is the LORD,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness.
Not according to our sins does he deal with us,
nor does he requite us according to our crimes.

℟. The Lord is kind and merciful.

As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he put our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

℟. The Lord is kind and merciful.

2nd Reading

1 Cor 15:45-49

A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians

Brothers and sisters:
It is written, The first man, Adam, became a living being,
the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
But the spiritual was not first;
rather the natural and then the spiritual.
The first man was from the earth, earthly;
the second man, from heaven.
As was the earthly one, so also are the earthly,
and as is the heavenly one, so also are the heavenly.
Just as we have borne the image of the earthly one,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly one.

The word of the Lord.

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Alleluia, Alleluia.

I give you a new commandment, says the Lord:
love one another as I have loved you.

Alleluia, Alleluia.

Gospel

Lk 6:27-38

✠ A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

Jesus said to his disciples:
“To you who hear I say,
love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
To the person who strikes you on one cheek,
offer the other one as well,
and from the person who takes your cloak,
do not withhold even your tunic.
Give to everyone who asks of you,
and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
For if you love those who love you,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners love those who love them.
And if you do good to those who do good to you,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners do the same.
If you lend money to those from whom you expect repayment,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners lend to sinners,
and get back the same amount.
But rather, love your enemies and do good to them,
and lend expecting nothing back;
then your reward will be great
and you will be children of the Most High,
for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

“Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give, and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.
For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you.”

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,
we worship you today
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.

Gathered in the Love of Christ

We are the dwelling place
that love has made.
We are formed to be goodness and light in the world.

God is light, in God
there is no darkness.
Let us walk in the light of life.
If we live in God, then we
must love each other,
ever follow the way of
truth and life.

Gathered in the love of

to call us the children of God.
And as God has loved us,
so we must love each other,
ever follow the way of truth and life.

Gathered in the love of
Christ, we are one in
the fam'ly of God.
We are the dwelling place
that love has made.

has called us to be.
And we come to you, the flock that you will shepherd;
you will show us the way of truth and life.

Gathered in the love of
Christ, we are one in

who redeems us in love;

calls us and renews us,
leads us all in the way of truth and life.
