1st Reading – Deuteronomy 18:15-20
Moses
spoke to all the people, saying:
"A
prophet like me will the LORD, your God, raise up for you from among your own
kin; to him you shall listen. This is exactly what you requested of the LORD,
your God, at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said,
'Let us
not again hear the voice of the LORD, our God, nor see this great fire any
more, lest we die.' And the LORD said to me, 'This was well said. I will raise
up for them a prophet like you from among their kin, and will put my words into
his mouth; he shall tell them all that I command him. Whoever will not listen
to my words which he speaks in my name, I myself will make him answer for it.
But if a prophet presumes to speak in my name an oracle that I have not
commanded him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, he shall die.'"
All:
Thanks be to God.
 
 
Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 95:1-2, 6-7, 7-9
R. If
today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
 
Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD; let us acclaim the rock of our salvation. Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us joyfully sing psalms to him.
R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
 
Come,
let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the LORD who made us. For he is
our God, and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides.
R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
 
Oh,
that today you would hear his voice: “Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as
in the day of Massah in the desert, Where your fathers tempted me; they tested
me though they had seen my works.”
R. If
today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
 
 
2nd Reading – 1 Corinthians 7:32-35
Brothers
and sisters:
I
should like you to be free of anxieties. An unmarried man is anxious about the
things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord. But a married man is anxious
about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, and he is divided.
An unmarried woman or a virgin is anxious about the things of the Lord, so that
she may be holy in both body and spirit. A married woman, on the other hand, is
anxious about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. I am
telling you this for your own benefit, not to impose a restraint upon you, but
for the sake of propriety and adherence to the Lord without distraction.
All:
Thanks be to God.
 
 
Alleluia – Matthew 4:16
R.
Alleluia, alleluia.
The people who sit in darkness have seen a great light; on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death, light has arisen.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 
Gospel – Mark 1:21-28
Then
they came to Capernaum, and on the sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and
taught.
The
people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having
authority and not as the scribes. In their synagogue was a man with an unclean
spirit; he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have
you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!" Jesus
rebuked him and said, "Quiet! Come out of him!" The unclean spirit
convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. All were amazed and asked
one another, "What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands
even the unclean spirits and they obey him." His fame spread everywhere
throughout the whole region of Galilee.
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.
 
All: We ask you Lord, listen to our prayer, we ask you Lord, listen to our prayer
 
 
OFFERTORY HYMN
 
In His Time
 
In His time, in His time
He makes all things beautiful in His time
Lord, please show me every day as You're teaching me Your way
that You do just what You say in Your time
 
In Your time, in Your time
You make all things beautiful in Your time
Lord, my life to You I bring may each song I have to sing
be to You a lovely thing in Your time
 
 
Preparation of the Altar and the Gifts
 
P✠: Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters), that my sacrifice and yours be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.

At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his Passion, he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:
 
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT,
FOR THIS IS MY BODY,
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
 
P✠: In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice and, once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying:
 
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT,
FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT, WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY
FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.
 
P✠: The mystery of faith.
All: When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your Death, O Lord, until you come again.
 
P✠: Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his Death and Resurrection,.....
 
P✠: Through him, and with him, and in him,
O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever.
All: Amen.
 
 
Lord’s Prayer
P✠: At the Savior’s command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:
 
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.
 
P✠: Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
All: For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever.
 
P✠: Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your Apostles: Peace I leave you, my peace I give you, look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church, and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will. Who live and reign for ever and ever.
All: Amen.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
 
P✠: Lord Jesus Christ,....
 
P✠: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.
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
 
Christ be our Light
 
1. Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
Longing for truth, we turn to you.
Make us Your own, You holy people,
light for the world to see *
 
* Christ be our Light! Shine in our hearts,
Shine through that darkness.
Christ, be our light! Shine in your Church
 
2. Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone, has power to save us.
Make us your living voice. *
 
3. Longing for food, many are hungry
Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us your bread, broken for others,
Shared until all are fed. *
 
4. Longing for shelter, many are homeless.
Longing for warmth, many are cold.
Make us your building, sheltering others,
Walls made of living stone. *
 
5. Many the gifts, many the people,
Many the heart, that yearn to belong
Let us be servant to one another,
Making your kingdom come. *
 
 
The Servant King
 
1. From heav’n You came, helpless Babe,
Entered our world, Your glory veiled;
Not to be served, but to serve.
And give Your life that we might live. *
 
* This is our God, the Servant King
He calls us now to follow Him;
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to the Servant King.
 
2. There in the garden of tears,
My heavy load He chose to bear;
His heart with sorrow was torn.
“Yet not My will, but Yours,” He said. *
 
3. Come, see His hands and His feet,
The scars that speak of sacrifice;
Hands that flung stars into space,
To cruel nails surrendered. *
 
4. So let us learn how to serve,
And in our lives enthrone Him;
Each other’s needs to prefer,
For it is Christ we’re serving. *

RECESSIONAL HYMN
 
City of God
 
1) Awake from your slumber, arise from your sleep
A new day is dawning for all those who weep
The people in darkness have seen a great light
The Lord of our longing has conquered the night *
 
* Let us build the city of God
May our tears be turned into dancing
For the Lord, our light and our love
Has turned the night into day
 
2) We're sons of the morning, we are daughters of day
The one who has loved us has brightened our way *
 
3) God is light, In him there is no darkness
Let us walk in his light, his children one and all
Oh comfort my people, make gentle your words
Proclaim to my city, the day of her birth *
