ENTRANCE HYMN
 
Speak, Lord
 
*Speak, Lord, I’m listening,
Plant Your word down deep in me;
Speak, Lord, I’m listening
Please show me the way
 
1. Sometimes my heart is slow to follow You,
Teach me to hear and understand,
And I’m told the things You promise,
And I hope they all come true,
And I know what waits for those who wait
And put their trust in You. *
 
2. Sometimes I stumble on my way to You,
Stretch out again Your healing hand,
And I’m told the things You promise,
And I hope they all come true,
And I know what waits for those who wait
And put their trust in You. *

1st Reading – Deuteronomy 30:10-14
Moses said to the people:
“If only you would heed the voice of the LORD, your God, and keep his commandments and statutes that are written in this book of the law, when you return to the LORD, your God, with all your heart and all your soul.
“For this command that I enjoin on you today is not too mysterious and remote for you.
It is not up in the sky, that you should say, ‘Who will go up in the sky to get it for us and tell us of it, that we may carry it out?’
Nor is it across the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross the sea to get it for us and tell us of it, that we may carry it out?’ No, it is something very near to you, already in your mouths and in your hearts; you have only to carry it out.”
All: Thanks be to God.
 
 
Responsorial Psalm – 19:8, 9, 10, 11

R. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.
 
The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the command of the LORD is clear,
enlightening the eye.
R. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.
 
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever;
the ordinances of the LORD are true, all of them just.
R. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.
 
 
2nd Reading – Colossians 1:15-20
Christ Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created through him and for him.
He is before all things, and in him, all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he himself might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile all things for him, making peace by the blood of his cross through him, whether those on earth or those in heaven.
All: Thanks be to God.
 
 
Alleluia – CF. John 6:63C, 68C
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life; you have the words of everlasting life.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 
 
Gospel – Luke 10:25-37
There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test him and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” He said in reply,
You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your being,
with all your strength,
and with all your mind,
and your neighbour as yourself.”
He replied to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.” But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbour?” Jesus replied, “A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise, a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.
But a Samaritan traveller who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight.
He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn, and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, ‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’
Which of these three, in your opinion, was a neighbour to the robbers’ victim?” He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
All: 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.

All: 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 from evil.

All: For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever.

All: Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
 
 
COMMUNION HYMN
 
Prayer of St Francis
 
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.
 
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, only light,
And where there's sadness, ever joy.
 
Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console.
To be understood as to understand.
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
 
Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
in giving of ourselves that we receive,
and in dying that we're born to eternal life.
 
 
In the Image of God
 
1. In the image of God,
We were made long ago,
With the purpose divine,
Here His glory to show;
But we failed Him one day,
And like sheep went astray,
Thinking not of the cost,
We His likeness had lost.
 
But from eternity God had in mind,
The work of Calvary, the lost to find,
From His heaven so broad,
Christ came down earth to trod,
So that men might live again,
In the image of God.
 
2. Now that I have believed,
And the Saviour received,
Now that I from the cry,
Of my guilt am relieved,
I will live for the Lord,
Not for gain nor reward,
But for love, thinking of what,
His grace has restored!
 
I’ll never comprehend redemption’s plan,
How Christ could condescend to die for man,
Such a Saviour I’ll praise,
To the end of my days,
As a upward, onward trod,
In the image of God

RECESSIONAL HYMN
 
Turn to Me
 
*Turn to me, O turn, and be saved,
says the Lord, for I am God
there is no other, none beside me.
I call your name.
 
1.    I am God, who comforts you
who are you to be afraid of flesh that fades,
is made like the grass of the field,
soon to wither. *
 
2.    Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
and look at the earth down below.
The heavens will vanish like smoke,
and the earth will wear out like a garment.*
