ENTRANCE HYMN

Let fire and rain give praise to Him;
Give praise to Him, who is merciful, slow to judge;
bless the Lord, O my soul.

Let all I am give praise to Him;
And not forget He is kind, He forgives our sins

He knows that man is made of dust;
And like the flowers that flourish, he soon must die;
bless the Lord, O my soul.

Give praise to Him, all you creatures who live His love;
bless the Lord, O my soul.

1st Reading – Wisdom 12:13, 16-19
There is no god besides you who have the care of all, that you need show you have not unjustly condemned. For your might is the source of justice; your mastery over all things makes you lenient to all. For you show your might when the perfection of your power is disbelieved; and in those who know you, you rebuke temerity. But though you are master of might, you judge with clemency, and with much lenience you govern us; for power, whenever you will, attends you.
And you taught your people, by these deeds,
that those who are just must be kind; and you gave your children good ground for hope that you would permit repentance for their sins.
All: Thanks be to God.
 
 
Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 86:5-6, 9-10, 15-16
R. Lord, you are good and forgiving.
 
You, O LORD, are good and forgiving,
abounding in kindness to all who call upon you. Hearken, O LORD, to my prayer
and attend to the sound of my pleading.
R. Lord, you are good and forgiving.
 
All the nations you have made shall come
and worship you, O LORD, and glorify your name. For you are great, and you do wondrous deeds; you alone are God.
R. Lord, you are good and forgiving.
 
You, O LORD, are a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in kindness and fidelity. Turn toward me, and have pity on me;
give your strength to your servant.
R. Lord, you are good and forgiving.
 
 
2nd Reading – Romans 8:26-27
Brothers and sisters:
The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy ones according to God's will.
All: Thanks be to God.
 
 
Alleluia – CF. Matthew 11:25
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 
 
Gospel – Matthew 13:24-30
Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying:
"The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came
and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said,
'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?'
He answered, 'An enemy has done this.'
His slaves said to him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?' He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, "First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
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.
 
 
Prayer of the Faithful
P✠: Let us pray to the Lord.

OFFERTORY HYMN
 
Do Not Worry
 
* Do not worry over what to eat, what to wear or put upon your feet
Trust and pray, go do your best today
Then leave it in the hands of the Lord, leave it in the hands of the Lord
 
1. The lilies of the field, they do not spin or weave
Yet Solomon was not arrayed like one of these
The birds of the air, they do not sow or reap
But God tends to them, like a shepherd tends his sheep *
 
2. The Lord will guide you in His hidden way
Show you what to do and tell you what to say
When you pray for rain, go build a dam to store
Ev'ry drop of water you have asked Him for *
 
3. The Lord knows your needs before you ask
Only trust in Him for He will do the task
Of bringing in your life whatever you must know
He'll lead you thru the darkness wherever you must go *

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.

I’m Justified
 
1. Most Holy Judge I stood before You guilty.
When You sent Jesus to the cross for my sin.
There Your love was revealed,
Your justice vindicated;
One sacrifice has paid the cost for all who trust in Jesus. *
 
* Now I’am justified, You declare me righteous;
Justified by the blood of the Lamb.
Justified freely by Your mercy,
By faith I stand and I’m justified.
 
I come to You and I can call You Father,
There is no fear, there is no shame before You.
For by Your gift of grace
Now I am one of Your children;
An heir with those who bear Your name
and share the hope of glory. *

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 He that comforts you
who are you to be afraid of flesh that fades,
is made like the grass of the field, soon to wither. *
 
2. Listen to me, my people;
Give ear to me, my nation;
A law will go forth from me and my justice for a light
to the people. *
 
3. 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. *
