Processional Hymn - 568 - Rejoice, the Lord Is King

Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph evermore;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

The Lord, our Savior, reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When He had purged our sins
He took His seat above;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

His kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o’er earth and Heav’n,
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus giv’n;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

Rejoice in glorious hope!
For Christ the Judge shall come,
And take His servants up
To their eternal home;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

First Reading - Isaiah 66:10-14c

Thus says the LORD:
Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad because of her, all you who love her; exult, exult with her, all you who were mourning over her!
Oh, that you may suck fully of the milk of her comfort, that you may nurse with delight at her abundant breasts!
For thus says the LORD:
Lo, I will spread prosperity over Jerusalem like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing torrent.
As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms, and fondled in her lap; as a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort.
When you see this, your heart shall rejoice and your bodies flourish like the grass; the LORD's power shall be known to his servants.

Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 66

R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Cry out with joy to God, all the earth,
O sing to the glory of his name;
O render him glorious praise.
Say to God, “How awesome your deeds!”
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

“Before you all the earth shall bow down, shall sing to you, sing to your name!”
Come and see the works of God, awesome his deeds among the children of men.
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot.
Let our joy, then, be in him; he rules forever by his might.
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Come and hear, all who fear God, I will tell what he did for my soul.
Blest be God, who did not reject my prayer, nor withhold from me his merciful love.
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Second Reading - Galations 6:14-18

Brothers and sisters:
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision, but only a new creation.
Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God.
From now on, let no one make troubles for me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.

Gospel - Luke 10:1-12, 17-20

At that time the Lord appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.
He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.
“Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
“Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way.
“Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’
“If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
“Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment.
“Do not move about from one house to another.
“Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.’
“Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say, ‘The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.’
“Yet know this: the kingdom of God is at hand.
“I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town.”
The seventy-two returned rejoicing, and said, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us because of your name.”
Jesus said, “I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky.
“Behold, I have given you the power to ‘tread upon serpents’ and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you.
“Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

Offertory Hymn - 790 - The Summons

Will you come and follow me
If I but call your name?
Will you go where you don't know
And never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown,
Will you let my name be known,
Will you let my life be grown
In you and you in me?

Will you leave yourself behind
If I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind
And never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare
Should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer prayer
In you and you in me?

Will you let the blinded see
If I but call your name?
Will you set the pris’ners free
And never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean,
And do such as this unseen,
And admit to what I mean
In you and you in me?

Will you love the ‘you’ you hide
If I but call your name?
Will you quell that fear inside
And never be the same?
Will you use the faith you've found
To reshape the world around,
Through my sight and touch and sound
In you and you in me?

Lord, your summons echoes true
When you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you
And never be the same.
In your company, I'll go
Where your love and footsteps show.
Thus I'll move and live and grow
In you, and you in me.

Communion Hymn - 945 - I Am the Bread of Life

I am the bread of life
You who come to Me shall not hunger
And who believe in Me shall not thirst
No one can come to Me
Unless the Father beckons
