Introductory Rites

(please stand)

Entrance Antiphon

When I prove my holiness among you, I will gather you from all the foreign lands; and I will pour clean water upon you and cleanse you from all your impurities, and I will give you a new spirit, says the Lord.

Processional Hymn - Led By the Spirit

Led by the Spirit of our God,
We go to fast and pray
with Christ into the wilderness;
we join his Pachal 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.

Led by the Spirit, now draw near
the waters of rebirth
with hearts that long to worship God
in spirit and in truth.
”Whoever drinks the drink I give
shall never thirst again.”
Thus says the Lord who died for us,
our Savior, kin, and friend.

Greeting:

Priest: The Lord be with you.

ALL: And with your spirit.

Kyrie (sung):

Cantor: Kyrie, eleison
All: Kyrie, eleison

All: Christe, eleison

Cantor: Kyrie, eleison

Homily (please sit)

The First Scrutiny

The Elect, with their sponsors, will be invited to come forward.

Nicene Creed (please 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.

General Intercessions:

After each prayer, respond: Lord, hear our prayer.

Prayer for Our Lady of Angels Parish

Heavenly Father, we thank you for gathering us together and calling us to serve as your disciples.
You have charged us through your Son, Jesus, with the great mission of evangelizing and witnessing your love to the world.
Send your Holy Spirit to guide us as we discern your will for the spiritual renewal of our parish.
Give us strength, courage, and clear vision as we use our gifts to serve you.
We entrust our parish family to the care of Mary, our mother, and ask for her intercession and guidance, as we strive to build a parish that loves God, embraces all people, and shares the Gospel joyfully.

Liturgy of the Eucharist

Offertory Hymn - As the Deer

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee

You alone are my strength my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee

2. You're my friend and You are my brother
Even though You are a King
I love You more than any other
So much more than anything

3. I want You more than gold or silver
Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy-giver
And the apple of my eye

Invitation to Communion

(While Holy Communion is reserved for Catholics, persons of all faiths wishing to receive a blessing may participate in the
communion procession. Place your arms across your chest to indicate you would like to receive this blessing.)

Communion Antiphon

For anyone who drinks it, says the Lord, the water I shall give will become in him a spring welling up to eternal life.

Communion Song - Heart of Worship

When the music fades all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You all about You Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You all about You Jesus

King of endless worth no one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor all I have is Yours
Ev'ry single breath

Communion 2 - We Come to You

By Your body and blood
By Your life and Your love renew us
May Your sacrifice be
Forgiveness in me heal us

We come to You
We come to You broken hungry
We come to You
We come to You
Make us whole again

2. In the body of Christ
We are brought to new life restore us
May the flesh that we eat
And the blood that we drink save us

By Your love
By Your grace
We are one

We come
We come to You

Closing Song - Change My Heart, O God

Change my heart O God
Make it ever true
Change my heart O God
May I be like You

You are the Potter
I am the clay
Make me and mold me
This is what I pray

O Jesus, come and fill your lambs
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs.
