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
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 – 1 Samuel 3:3B-10, 19
Samuel
was sleeping in the temple of the LORD where the ark of God was.
The
LORD called to Samuel, who answered, "Here I am.” Samuel ran to Eli and
said, "Here I am. You called me." "I did not call you, "
Eli said. "Go back to sleep." So he went back to sleep. Again the
LORD called Samuel, who rose and went to Eli. "Here I am, " he said.
"You called me." But Eli answered, "I did not call you, my son.
Go back to sleep." At that time Samuel was not familiar with the LORD,
because the LORD had not revealed anything to him as yet. The LORD called
Samuel again, for the third time. Getting up and going to Eli, he said,
"Here I am. You called me." Then Eli understood that the LORD was
calling the youth. So he said to Samuel, "Go to sleep, and if you are
called, reply, Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening." When Samuel
went to sleep in his place, the LORD came and revealed his presence, calling
out as before, "Samuel, Samuel!" Samuel answered, "Speak, for
your servant is listening." Samuel grew up, and the LORD was with him, not
permitting any word of his to be without effect.
All:
Thanks be to God.
 
 
Responsorial
Psalm – Psalms 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10
R. Here
am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
 
I have waited, waited for the LORD, and he stooped toward me and heard my cry. And he put a new song into my mouth, a hymn to our God.
R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
 
Sacrifice or offering you wished not, but ears open to obedience you gave me. Holocausts or sin-offerings you sought not; then said I, “Behold I come.”
R. Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
 
“In the
written scroll it is prescribed for me, to do your will, O my God, is my
delight, and your law is within my heart!”
R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
 
I
announced your justice in the vast assembly;
I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.
R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
 
 
2nd Reading – 1 Corinthians 6:13C-15A, 17-20
Brothers
and sisters:
The
body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body; God
raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power. Do you not know that your
bodies are members of Christ?
But
whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one Spirit with him. Avoid immorality.
Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the immoral person
sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the
Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.
All:
Thanks be to God.
 
Alleluia – John 1:41, 17B
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
We have found the Messiah:  Jesus Christ, who brings us truth and grace.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 
Gospel – John 1:35-42
John
was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he
said, "Behold, the Lamb of God." The two disciples heard what he said
and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them,
"What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" —
which translated means Teacher —, "where are you staying?" He said to
them, "Come, and you will see." So they went and saw where Jesus was
staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and
followed Jesus. He first found his own brother Simon and told him, "We
have found the Messiah" — which is translated Christ —. Then he brought
him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of
John; you will be called Cephas" — which is translated Peter.
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.

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.

RECESSIONAL HYMN
 
Amazing Grace
 
1. Amazing grace how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
 
2. ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved,
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.
 
3. Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come,
‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
 
4. When we’ve been here ten thousand years.
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
