2nd Sunday in Lent Year C

2nd Sunday in Lent - 16th March 2025

Opening Song

1. O raise your eyes on high and see

There stands our sov'reign Lord,

His glo-ry is this day re - vealed,

His Word a two-edged sword.

2. We glimpse the splendor and the pow'r

Of him who conquered death,

The Christ in whom the u - ni - verse

Knows God's cre - at - ing breath.

3. Of ev' - ry creed and nat-ion King

In him all strife is stilled;

The promise made to A - bra - ham

In him has been ful-filled.

4. The prophets stand and with great joy

Give witness as they gaze;

The Father with a sign has sealed

Our trust, our hope, our praise,

5. This glory that today our eyes

Have glimpsed of God's own Son

Will help us ever sing with Love

Of Three who are but One.

Responsorial Psalm

RESPONSE: (Cantor, then all)

The Lord is my light and my salvation

The Lord is my light and salvation;

whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the stronghold of my life;

Whom shall I dread?

The Lord is my light and my salvation

O Lord, hear my voice when I call;

have mercy and answer me.

Of you my heart is spoken,

'Seek his face'.

The Lord is my light and my salvation

It is your face, O Lord, that I seek;

hide not your face from me.

Dismiss not your servant in anger;

you have been my help.,

The Lord is my light and my salvation

I believe I shall see the Lord's goodness

in the land of the living.

Wait for the Lord; be strong;

be stout - hearted, and wait for the Lord.

Jubilee Prayer:

Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,

and the flame of charity enkindled

in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your kingdom.

R:/ To you our God, Eternally Blessed,
Be glory and Praise for ever.

May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators

of the seeds of the Gospel.

May those seeds transform all of humanity

and the whole of creation in the sure

expectation of a new heaven
and a new earth,

when your glory, O Lord, will shine eternally.

R:/ To you our God, Eternally Blessed,
Be glory and Praise for ever.

May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.

May that same grace spread the joy
and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.

R:/ To you our God, Eternally Blessed,
Be glory and Praise for ever. Amen

Offertory Song

1. Gifts of bread and wine, gifts we’ve of - fered,

fruits of labour, fruits of love:

taken, offered, sanctified,

blessed and broken; words of One who died:

R:/

‘Take my body, take my saving blood.’

Gifts of bread and wine: Christ our Lord.

2. Christ our Saviour, living presence here,

as He promised while on earth:

’I am with you for all time,

I am with you in this Bread and Wine.'

R:/

‘Take my body, take my saving blood.’

Gifts of bread and wine: Christ our Lord.

3. Through the Father, with the Spi - rit,

one in union with the Son,

for God’s people, joined in prayer,

faith is strengthened by the food we share

R:/

‘Take my body, take my saving blood.’

Gifts of bread and wine: Christ our Lord.

Lamb of God

Spoken

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 Antiphon:

This is my beloved son,

with whom I am well pleased;

listen to him.

Communion Song

Refrain:

Bread of life, truth eternal,

Broken now to set us free.

The risen Christ, his saving power,

Is here in Bread and Wine for me.

Verses:

Lord, I know I am not worthy to receive you.

You speak the words and I am healed.

Here at your table, Loves mystery:

One bread, one cup, one family.

Bread of life, truth eternal,

Broken now to set us free.

The risen Christ, his saving power,

Is here in Bread and Wine for me.

Lord by your cross, you reconciled us to the Fa - ther.

We have only to believe.

Your sacrifice, our victory,

Now by your blood we are redeemed.

Bread of life, truth eternal,

Broken now to set us free.

The risen Christ, his saving power,

Is here in Bread and Wine for me.

Lord, you gave your people manna in the des - ert,

Still you fulfil our every need.

Lord when we hunger, Lord, when we thirst,

We come to you and we receive.the

Bread of life, truth eternal,

Broken now to set us free.

The risen Christ, his saving power,

Is here in Bread and Wine for me.

In the midst of the darkness shining.

Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us,

Set us free by the Truth You now bring us.

From the shadows into Your radiance.

By the blood I may enter Your brightness,

Search me, try me, consume all my darkness.

Shine on me,

So our faces display Your likeness.

Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story.

Shine on me,

Fill this land with the Fath er's glo ry.

Blaze, Spirit, blaze,

Set our hearts on fire.

Flow, River, flow,
