Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
reclothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise.
in deeper reverence, praise.
In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee.
rise up and follow thee.
O sabbath rest by Galilee,
calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love
interpreted by love.
Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
the beauty of thy peace.
Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm.
O still, small voice of calm.

Psalm 102(103):1-4,9-1
RESPONSE: (Cantor, then all)
R:/ The Lord is compassion and love,
slow to anger and rich in mercy. (2)
My soul, give thanks to the Lord
all my being, bless his holy name.
My soul, give thanks to the Lord
and never forget all his blessings.
R:/ The Lord is compassion and love,
slow to anger and rich in mercy. (2)
It is he who forgives all your guilt,
who heals every one of your ills,
who redeems your life from the grave,
who crowns you with love and compassion.
R:/ The Lord is compassion and love,
slow to anger and rich in mercy. (2)
His wrath will come to an end;
he will not be angry for ever.
He does not treat us according to our sins
nor repay us according to our faults.
R:/ The Lord is compassion and love,
slow to anger and rich in mercy. (2)
For as the heavens are high above the earth
so strong is his love for those who fear him.
As far as the east is from the west
so far does he remove our sins.
R:/ The Lord is compassion and love,
slow to anger and rich in mercy. (2)

Alleluia (x5)
Speak, Lord, your servant is listening:
you have the message of eternal life.
Celtic Alleluia by Christopher Walker
VERSE 1:
Father you call us,
With a love that is steadfast,
And mercy, tender mercy
You hear the sinner's confession
With a heart of compassion
And draw us into your embrace
CHORUS 1:
Father you are merciful
Forever you are merciful
Only by your Grace
Can we gaze upon the face of your mercy
VERSE 2:
Your love comes to meet us
Poured out in Jesus
Such mercy, perfect mercy
Lamb of God, our redemption
In the plan of Salvation
You paid the price we could not pay
CHORUS 2:
Father, you are merciful
Forever you are merciful
We're humbled by your Grace
As we see in Christ the face of your mercy
VERSE 3:
Father, transform us
Take our lives, Lord and use us
For mercy, for your mercy.
Give us eyes of compassion
For the lost and broken
Help us lead them back to your embrace
CHORUS 3:
Teach us to be merciful,
as Father you are merciful
Lead us by your Grace
So that we may be the face of your mercy

Mass of The Holy Trinity | Music by Mike Stanley & Andy Ross © CJM MUSIC
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
O the love of my Lord is the essence
Of all that I love here on earth
All the beauty I see he has given to me
And his giving is gentle as silence
Every day, every hour, every moment,
Has been blessed by the strength of his love
At the turn of each tide he is here at my side
And his touch is as gentle as silence
There have been times when I’ve turned
from his presence
And I have walked other paths, other ways
But I’ve called on his name
in the dark of my shame
And his mercy was gentle as silence

When we are living, we are in the Lord;
When we are dying, we are in the Lord;
For in our living and in our dying;
We belong to God, we belong to God.
Each day allows us to decide for good,
Loving and serving as we know we should;
In thankful giving, in hopeful living,
We belong to God, we belong to God.
Sometimes we sorrow, other times we embrace,
Sometimes we question everything we face;
Yet in our yearning is deeper learning:
We belong to God, we belong to God.
Till earth is over may we always know,
Love never fails us; God made it so.
Hard times will prove us, never remove us;
We belong to God, we belong to God
Hard times will prove us, never remove us;
We belong to God, we belong to God
