LITURGY OF THE WORD

First Reading: Isaiah 55:1–3 (click for readings at USCCB) Thus says the LORD: All you who are thirsty, come to the water! You who have no money, come, receive grain and eat; Come, without paying and without cost, drink wine and milk! Why spend your money for what is not bread; your wages for what fails to satisfy? Heed me, and you shall eat well, you shall delight in rich fare. Come to me heedfully, listen, that you may have life. I will renew with you the everlasting covenant, the benefits assured to David. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm: He Answers All Our Needs The hand of the Lord feeds us, the hand of the Lord feeds us, the hand of the Lord feeds us. He answers all our needs. Music by Ed Bolduc.

Second Reading: Romans 8:35:37–39 (click for readings at USCCB) Brothers and sisters: What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

1 Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia!

Gospel Reading: Matthew 14:13–31 (click for readings at USCCB)

When Jesus heard of the death of John the Baptist, he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of this and followed him on foot from their towns. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples approached him and said, “This is a deserted place and it is already late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.” Jesus said to them, “There is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves.” But they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.” Then he said, “Bring them here to me,” and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over — twelve wicker baskets full. Those who ate were about five thousand men, not counting women and children. The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Homily

Profession of Faith 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. I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen

Prayers of the Faithful Our response: Lord, hear our prayer

LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

Song of Preparation of the Gifts: For Us (click for YouTube video) Oh, how deep the Father’s love, Written in the sun and stars, Here below and far above, By the beauty of his heart, Blooming with eternal hope, In this garden we call home. Oh, how deep the Father’s love, How deep his love for us.

Oh how kind the Savior’s heart, Word from word and light from light, Came into our wilderness, Broke the bread and shared his life, Silenced hate with cross and thorn, In his pain he loved us more. Oh, how kind the Savior’s heart, how kind his heart for us.

Oh, how true the Spirit guides Gifts of God for all his own. Dear companion, be our light, Let us never walk alone. Gently fall and gently lead, Help us in our unbelief. Oh, how true the Spirit guides, How true you guide us all. © 2015, Sarah Hart (Hippart Music (BMI) admin. by EssentialMusicPublishing.com), Sarah Kroger (Fiat Music (BMI)) 2

COMMUNION RITE The Lord’s Prayer/Sign of Peace

Lamb of God Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace, grant us peace.

Spiritual Communion: St. Thomas Aquinas once defined a Spiritual Communion as “an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament [in Communion at Mass] and in lovingly embracing Him as if we had actually received Him.”

Prayers for Spiritual Communion: My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. ______

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within thy wounds, hide me. Suffer me not to be separated from thee. From the malicious enemy defend me. In the hour of my death, call me and bid me come to thee, That with thy saints I may praise thee for ever and ever.

Songs of Communion: Do This In Memory of Me (click for YouTube video) I am the bread of life; all who believe in me will have eternal life. I am the bread of life come down from heaven so that all who eat this bread will never die.

Take the living bread of life, take the cup of sacrifice; do this in memory of me. Take the body and the blood, given freely out of love; do this in memory of me; Do this in memory of me.

I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will not hunger again. I am the bread of life; no one can come to me unless the Father draws them near to him. (R)

Healing Is in Your Hands (click for YouTube video) No mountain, no valley, No gain or loss we know, Could keep us from Your love No sickness, no secret, No chain is strong enough To keep us from Your love, To keep us from Your love

How high, how wide, No matter where I am Healing is in Your hands How deep, how strong, Now by Your grace I stand, Healing is in Your hands

Our present, our future, Our past is in Your hands, We're covered by Your blood, We're covered by Your blood (R) CCLI Song # 5677423 Chris Tomlin | Christy Nockels | Daniel Carson | Matt Redman | Nathan Nockels © 2010 sixsteps Music, Sweater Weather Music, Thankyou Music, Vamos Publishing, worshiptogether.com songs (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing) All rights reserved. www.ccli.com CCLI License # 693526

Song of Thanksgiving: Who You Say I Am (click for YouTube video) Who am I that the highest King Would welcome me I was lost but He brought me in, Oh His love for me, Oh His love for me

Who the Son sets free, Oh, is free indeed. I'm a child of God, Yes I am

Free at last, He has ransomed me, His grace runs deep While I was a slave to sin Jesus died for me, Yes, He died for me

In my Father's house There's a place for me. I'm a child of God, Yes I am.

I am chosen not forsaken. I am who You say I am. You are for me not against me. I am who You say I am CCLI Song # 7102401. Ben Fielding | Reuben Morgan © 2017 Hillsong Music Publishing Australia (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing) All rights reserved. www.ccli.com CCLI License # 693526
