1st
Reading – Exodus 17:8-13
In those days, Amalek came and waged war against Israel. Moses, therefore, said to Joshua,
"Pick out certain men, and tomorrow go out and engage Amalek in battle.
I will be standing on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand." So Joshua did as Moses told him: he engaged Amalek in battle after Moses had climbed to the top of the hill with Aaron and Hur. As long as Moses kept his hands raised up, Israel had the better of the fight, but when he let his hands rest, Amalek had the better of the fight. Moses'hands, however, grew tired; so they put a rock in place for him to sit on. Meanwhile Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other,
so that his hands remained steady till sunset. And Joshua mowed down Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. - The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

Reading – 2 Timothy 3:14-4:2
Beloved: Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it, and that from infancy you have known the sacred Scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation
through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction,
and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingly power: proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.- The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.
Alleluia
– Hebrews 4:12
The word of God is living and effective, discerning reflections and thoughts of the heart.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel
- Luke 18:1-8
Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said, "There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, 'Render a just decision for me against my adversary.' For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, 'While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.'" The Lord said, "Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" - The Gospel of the Lord
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.

COMMUNION HYMN
He’s Everything to Me
In the stars His handiwork I see,
On the wind He speaks with majesty,
Though He ruleth over land and sea,
What is that to me?
I will celebrate Nativity,
For it has a place in history.
Sure He came to set His people free.
What is that to me?
Till by faith I met Him face to face
And I felt the wonder of His grace.
Then I knew that He was more than
Just a God who didn’t care,
That lived a way out there,
And now He walks beside me day by day
Every watching over me lest I stray,
Helping me to find the narrow way, He’s everything to me
On Eagle’s Wings
1. You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
Who abide in His shadow for life
Say to the Lord, "My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!" *
* And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
2. The snare of the fowler will never capture
you
And famine will bring you no fear
Under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield *
3. You need not fear the terror of the night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
Though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come *
4. For to His angels He's given a command
To guard you in all of your ways
Upon their hands they will bear you up
Lest you dash your foot against a stone *
And hold you, hold you in the palm of His hand

Merciful Father, we
thank you for sending us enthusiastic missionaries who, jointly with Chinese
priests, sowed the seeds of the Gospel a hundred years ago in this parish and
established a community devoted to the worship of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Since
we have inherited Your boundless love for all, we are committed to joyfully
spread the love of the Sacred Heart and to actively build the church here.
As we celebrate the
centenary of our parish church with gratitude, we pray that You send the Holy
Spirit to assist us, grant us perseverance and patience, and guide us to become
the salt and light of the world according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. May
we bring the love experienced into our families and communities, as we spread
the Gospel.
We ask this through
our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever, Amen.
