Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 30: 2. 6. 12-13. 15-17. 25

RESPONSE: (Cantor, then all)

Father into your hands I commend my spirit

1 In you, O Lord, I take refuge.

Let me never be put to shame.

In your justice, set me free.

Into your hands I commend my spirit.

It is you who will redeem me, Lord.

R/Father into your hands I commend my spirit

2 In the face of all my foes

I am a reproach,

an object of scorn to my neighbours

and of fear to my friends.

R/Father into your hands I commend my spirit

3 Those who see me in the street

run far away from me.

I am like a dead man, forgotten in men’s hearts,

like a thing thrown away.

R/Father into your hands I commend my spirit

4 But as for me, I trust in you, Lord,

I say: ‘You are my God.’

My life is in your hands, deliver me

from the hands of those who hate me

R/Father into your hands I commend my spirit

5 Let your face shine on your servant.

Save me in your love.

Be strong, let your heart take courage,

all who hope in the Lord.

R/Father into your hands I commend my spirit

Gospel Acclamation

Cantor: Glory and praise to you, O Christ

ALL: Glory and praise to you, O Christ

Verse: (Spoken)

Christ was humbler yet, even to accepting death, death on a cross. But God raised him high and gave him the name which is above all names

Mass of St Luke | Music by Mike Stanley © CJM MUSIC

Solemn Intercessions:

Sung Response w Amen

Showing of the Cross

Behold Behold the Wood of the Cross

Refrain

Be-hold, behold the wood of the cross

On which is hung our salvation.

O come, let us adore.

Verses:

1

Unless a grain of wheat shall fall

upon the ground and die,

It shall remain but a single grain

and not give life.

2

And when My hour of glory comes

as all was meant to be,

You shall see Me lifted up

upon a tree.

3

For there can be no greater love

shown upon this land

Than in the One

who came to die that we might live.

4.

My father, if it were your plan,

this cup might pass me by.

Yet let it happen

if I must die

5.

for surely he has drawn your tears,

is wounded by our sin

and yet he opens not his name

that we might live

6.

my body now is torn with pain,

my friends have left and gone.

A loving father take my life

into your hands

Words and Music: Dan Shutte

Were You There

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed Him to the cross?

Were you there when they nailed Him to the cross?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble

Were you there when they nailed Him to the cross?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

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

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of Glory died

My richest gain, I count but loss

And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it Lord, that I should boast

Save in the death of Christ my Lord:

All the vain things that charm me most

I sacrifice them to his blood.

See from His head His hands His feet

Sorrow and love flow mingled down:

Did e’er such love and sorrow meet

Or thorns compose so rich a crown.

Were the whole realm of nature mine

That were and off’ring far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine

Demands my soul my life and all!

Words & Music: Isaac Watts

Communion Thanksgiving

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,

That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish,

But have everlasting life.

For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world,

But that the world through Him might be saved.
