Opening Hymn

Hail Mary, Gentle Woman   
 

Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with you,
Blessed are you among women,
And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinner now,
And at the hour of death,
Amen.
Gentle woman,

Quiet light, 

Morning star,

So strong and bright,
Gentle mother, 

Peaceful dove, 

Teach us wisdom, teach us love,
You were chosen by The Father,
You were chosen for The Son,
You were chosen from all women,
And for women, shining one.
Gentle woman,

Quiet light, 

Morning star, 

So strong and bright,
Gentle mother, 

Peaceful dove, 

Teach us wisdom,
Teach us love,
Teach us wisdom,
Teach us love.

First Reading

Psalm 121
Reader:  Marjorie Gadue

Psalm

Shepard Me O God

Refrain:
Shepherd me, O God

Beyond my wants

Beyond my fears

From death into life

God is my shepherd

So nothing I shall want

I rest in the meadows

Of faithfulness and love

I walk by the quiet waters

Of peace

Shepherd me, O God

Beyond my wants

Beyond my fears

From death into life

Gently You raise me

And heal my weary soul

You lead me by pathways

Of righteousness and truth

My spirit shall sing

The music of Your Name

Shepherd me, O God

Beyond my wants

Beyond my fears

From death into life

Though I should wander

The valley of death

I fear no evil

For You are at my side

Your rod and Your staff,

My comfort and my hope

Shepherd me, O God

Beyond my wants

Beyond my fears

From death into life

You have set me

A banquet of love

In the face of hatred

Crowning me with love

Beyond my power to hold

Shepherd me, O God

Beyond my wants

Beyond my fears

From death into life

Surely Your kindness and mercy follow me

All the days of my life

I will dwell in the house of my God for evermore

Prayers of the Faithful

Response: “Lord, hear our prayer”

Offertory

You Are Mine
 

I will come to you in the silence
I will lift you from all your fear
You will hear My voice
I claim you as My choice
Be still, and know I am near

I am hope for all who are hopeless
I am eyes for all who long to see
In the shadows of the night,
I will be your light
Come and rest in Me

Do not be afraid, I am with you
I have called you each by name
Come and follow Me
I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine

I am strength for all the despairing
Healing for the ones who dwell in shame
All the blind will see, the lame will all run free
And all will know My name

Do not be afraid, I am with you
I have called you each by name
Come and follow Me
I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine

I am the Word that leads all to freedom
I am the peace the world cannot give
I will call your name, embracing all your pain
Stand up, now, walk, and live

Do not be afraid, I am with you
I have called you each by name
Come and follow Me
I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine

Holy Holy

Holy, holy, holy

Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are

full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who

comes in the name of the Lord.  

Hosanna in the highest.

Mystery of Faith

Alternates among three:

Save us, saviour of the world, for by your cross and resurrection you have set us free.

We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your resurrection until you come again.

When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, O Lord, until you come again.

Great Amen
Response:  Amen

Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; 

Thy kingdom come; thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Lamb of God

Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

Communion Hymn

On Eagle’s Wings

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 eagles' 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 fowler will never capture you
And famine will bring you no fear
Under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield

And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand

You need not fear the terror of the night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
Though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come

And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand

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 eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
And hold you, hold you in the palm of His hand

Prayer of Commendation

Recessional Hymns

Ave Maria

Jerome Monachino  

Let There Be Peace On Earth

Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Let There Be Peace on Earth
The peace that was meant to be

With God as our Father
Brothers all are we
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With ev'ry step I take
Let this be my solemn vow

To take each moment and live
Each moment in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
