15th Sunday OT ~ 16th July 2023

Entrance Song

1. God has spoken by his prophets,

spoken his unchanging Word;

each from age to age proclaiming

God the one, the righteous Lord!

In the world’s despair and turmoil

one firm anchor still holds fast,

God is King, his throne eternal,

God the first, and God the last.

2. God has spoken by Christ Jesus,

Christ the everlasting Son,

brightness of the Father’s glory,

with the Father, ever one:

spoken by the Word incarnate,

God of God, before time was,

Light of Light, to earth descending,

He reveals our God to us.

3. God is speaking by his Spirit

speaking to the hearts of all;

in the age-long Word expounding

God’s own message, for us all.

Through the rise and fall of nations

one sure faith is standing fast:

God still speaks, his Word unchanging,

God the first and God the last.

Words: G W Briggs (1875 - 1959)

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 144: 1-2. 8-11. 13-14 r. 1

RESPONSE: Some seed fell into rich soil
and produced its crop, produced its crop.

You care for the earth, give it water,

you fill it with riches.

Your river in heaven brims over

to provide its grain.

R/: Some seed fell into rich soil
and produced its crop, produced its crop.

And thus you provide for the earth;

you drench its furrows;

you level it, soften it with showers;

you bless its growth.

R/: Some seed fell into rich soil
and produced its crop, produced its crop.

You crown the year with your goodness.

Abundance flows in your steps,

in the pastures of the wilderness it flows.

R/: Some seed fell into rich soil
and produced its crop, produced its crop.

The hills are girded with joy,

the meadows covered with flocks,

the valleys are decked with wheat.

They shout for joy, yes, they sing.

R/: Some seed fell into rich soil
and produced its crop, produced its crop.

Offertory Song

In bread we bring You Lord,our body's labour
In wine we offer You our spirit's grief
We do not ask you, Lord, who is my neighbour?
But stand united now, one in belief.
Oh we have gladly heard
Your Word, Your holy Word
And now in answer, Lord, our gifts we bring
Our selfish hearts make true,
Our failing faith renew,
Our lives belongs to You, our Lord and King

The bread we offer You is blessed and broken
And it becomes for us our spirit's food.
Over the cup we bring your Word is spoken.
Make it Your gift to us, your healing Blood.
Take all that daily toil,
Plants in our heart's poor soil,
Take all we start and spoil, each hopeful dream.
The chances we have missed,
The graces we resist,
Lord, in Thy Eucharist, take and redeem.

Words & Music: Aniceto Nazareth

Prayer of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,

I believe that You are present

in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.

I love You above all things

and I passionately desire
to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,

come spiritually into my soul

so that I may unite myself wholly to You

now and forever. Amen.

Based on a prayer of St Alphonsus Liguorit

Communion Song

CHORUS:

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul,

Worship His holy name.

Sing like never before, O my soul.

I'll worship Your holy name.

VERSE 1:

The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning;

It's time to sing Your song again.

Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me,

Let me be singing when the evening comes.

VERSE 2:

You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger.

Your name is great, and Your heart is kind.

For all Your goodness, I will keep on singing;

Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.

VERSE 3:

And on that day when my strength is failing,

The end draws near, and my time has come;

Still my soul will sing Your praise unending:

Ten thousand years and then for evermore!

Recessional Song

Take the word of God with you as you go.

Take the seeds of God's word and make them grow.

Go in peace to serve the world,
in peace to serve the world.

Take the love of God, the love of God
with you as you go.

Take the peace of God with you as you go.

Take the seeds of God's peace and make them grow.

Go in peace to serve the world,
in peace to serve the world.

Take the love of God,
the love of God with you as you go.

Take the joy of God with you as you go.

Take the seeds of God's joy and make them grow.

Go in peace to serve the world,
in peace to serve the world.

Take the love of God, the love of God
with you as you go.

Take the love of God with you as you go.

Take the seeds of God's love and make them grow.

Go in peace to serve the world,
in peace to serve the world.

Take the love of God, the love of God
with you as you go
