Opening Song: Love One Another

Chorus : Love one another as I have loved you.
Care for each other, I have cared for you.
Bear each other′s burdens. Bind each other's wounds;
and so you will know my return.

1. My friends, do you know what I have done for you?

I have washed your feet with my hands.
If I, your Lord, have knelt at your feet,
you should do at each other′s feet as I have done for you.

2. When the world will hate you and revile you

when they laugh at your care for the poor,
when they hold you in darkness and imprison your tongues,
remember how they listened to me.

P: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
All: Amen
P: The Lord be with you.
All: And with your spirit.

and of your people Israel.

to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I
 ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and
sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Liturgy of the Word

First Reading (Is 50:5-9a) (SIT)

A reading from the Book of Isaiah:
The Lord GOD opens my ear that I may hear;
and I have not rebelled,
have not turned back.
I gave my back to those who beat me,
my cheeks to those who plucked my beard;
my face I did not shield
from buffets and spitting.
The Lord GOD is my help,
therefore I am not disgraced;
I have set my face like flint,
knowing that I shall not be put to shame.
He is near who upholds my right;
if anyone wishes to oppose me,
let us appear together.
Who disputes my right?
Let that man confront me.
See, the Lord GOD is my help;
who will prove me wrong?
The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm (SIT)

R. I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living.
1.I love the LORD because he has heard
my voice in supplication,
because he has inclined his ear to me
the day I called.

2.The cords of death encompassed me;

the snares of the netherworld seized upon me;
I fell into distress and sorrow,
and I called upon the name of the LORD,
"O LORD, save my life!"

3.Gracious is the LORD and just;

yes, our God is merciful.
The LORD keeps the little ones;
I was brought low, and he saved me.

4.For he has freed my soul from death,

my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
I shall walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.

Second Reading (Jas 2:14-18) (SIT)

A reading from the Letter of James:
What good is it, my brothers and sisters,
if someone says he has faith but does not have works?
Can that faith save him?
If a brother or sister has nothing to wear
and has no food for the day,
and one of you says to them,
"Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well, "
but you do not give them the necessities of the body,
what good is it?
So also faith of itself,
if it does not have works, is dead.
Indeed someone might say,
"You have faith and I have works."
Demonstrate your faith to me without works,
and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works.
The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation (STAND)

R: Alleluia, Alleluia.
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord
through which the world has been crucified to me and I to the world.

Gospel (Mk 8:27-35) (STAND)

P: The Lord be with you.
All: And with your spirit.
P: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark
All: Glory to you, O Lord
Jesus and his disciples set out
for the villages of Caesarea Philippi.
Along the way he asked his disciples,
"Who do people say that I am?"
They said in reply,
"John the Baptist, others Elijah,
still others one of the prophets."
And he asked them,
"But who do you say that I am?"
Peter said to him in reply,
"You are the Christ."
Then he warned them not to tell anyone about him.
He began to teach them
that the Son of Man must suffer greatly
and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed, and rise after three days.
He spoke this openly.
Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
At this he turned around and, looking at his disciples,
rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan.
You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."
He summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them,
"Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and follow me.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake
and that of the gospel will save it."
The Gospel of the Lord.
All: Praise To You, Lord Jesus Christ.

Homily (SIT)

Nicene Creed (STAND)

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and
invisible.I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father
before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was
incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius
Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with
the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will
come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the
Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the
prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the
forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world
to come. Amen.

Communion Song 1: Behold the Lamb

Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away,
Slain for us: and we remember:
The promise made that all who come in faith
Find forgiveness at the cross.
So we share in this Bread of life,
And we drink of His sacrifice,
As a sign of our bonds of peace
Around the table of the King.
The body of our Saviour, Jesus Christ,
Torn for you: eat and remember
The wounds that heal, the death that brings us life,
Paid the price to make us one.
So we share in this Bread of Life,
And we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of love
Around the table of the King.
The blood that cleanses every stain of sin,
Shed for you: drink and remember
He drained death’s cup that all may enter in
To receive the life of God.
So we share in this Bread of Life,
And we drink of His sacrifice,
As a sign of our bonds of grace
Around the table of the King.
And so with thankfulness and faith
We rise to respond: and to remember
Our call to follow in the steps of Christ
As His body here on earth.
As we share in His suffering,
We proclaim: Christ will come again!
And we’ll join in the feast of heaven
Around the table of the King

Give us thankful hearts that we may see
All the gifts we share and every blessing
All things come of thee
Look at the earth
Bringing forth fruit and flowers
Look at the sky
The sunshine and the rain
Look at the hills
Look at the trees and mountains
Valley and flowing river
Field and plain
Praise to thee O Lord for all creation
Give us thankful hearts that we may see
All the gifts we share and every blessing
All things come of Thee
Think of the spring
Think of the warmth of summer
Bringing the harvest
Before the winter's cold
Everything grows
Everything has a season
'Til it is gathered to the fathers fold

Praise to thee O Lord for all creation

Give us thankful hearts that we may see
All the gifts we share and every blessing
All things come of Thee
Every good gift
All that we need and cherish
Comes from the Lord
In token of his love
We are his hands
Stewards of all his bounty
His is the earth and his the heavens above

Praise to thee O Lord for all creation

Give us thankful hearts that we may see
All the gifts we share and every blessing
All things come of thee
All things come of thee

Recessional Hymn: Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord.
And where there is doubt, true faith in You.

Make me a channel of your peace.

Where there is despair in life let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, only light.
And where there's sadness, ever joy

Oh, Master grant that I may never seek.

So much to be consoled as to console.
To be understood as to understand.
To be loved as to love with all my soul

Make me a channel of your peace.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
It is in giving to all men that we receive.
And in dying that we are born to eternal life
