First Sunday in Lent
First Sunday Lent 6th March 2022
Opening Song
1. Led by the Spirit of our God,
we go to fast and pray
With Christ into the wil-der-ness;
we join His paschal way.
"Rend not your garments, rend your hearts.
Turn back your lives to me."
Thus says our kind and gracious God,
whose reign is liberty.
2. Led by the Spirit, we confront
temptation face to face,
And know full well we must re-ly
on God's redeeming grace.
On bread alone we can-not live,
but nourished by the Word.
We seek the will of God to do:
this is our drink and food.
3. Led by the Spirit, now draw near
the waters of re - birth
With hearts that long to worship God
in spirit and in truth.
"Who-e-ver drinks the drink I give
shall never thirst a - gain."
Thus says the Lord who died for us,
our Saviour, kin and friend.
4. Led by the Spirit,now sing praise
to God the Trin - i - ty:
The Source of Life, the liv-ing Word
made flesh to set us free,
The Spirit blowing where it will
to make us friends of God:
This myst'ry far beyond our reach,
yet near in healing love.

Offertory Song
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 eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His hand.
The Snare of the Flower will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under his wings your reguge,
His faithfulness your shield
You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by the day;
Through thousands fal about you,
Near you it shall not come
And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His hand.

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

Recessional Song
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 he will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His hand.
