Welcome to St Simon’s 16 th SUNDAY 2013 Year of Luke

INTROIT O the love of my God is the essence of all that I love here on earth all the beauty I see he has given to me and his giving is gentle as silence. Every day, every hour, every moment has been blessed by the strength of his love at the turn of each tide he is there at my side and his touch is as gentle as silence.

Penitential Rite Kyrie Eleison (x3) Christe Eleison (x3) Kyrie Eleison (x3) Greek: Lord / Christ / Lord have mercy

FIRST READING GENESIS Sarah listens to an angel of the Lord

Psalm 115 Response: I will walk in the presence of God

EPISTLE COLOSSIANS Paul completes in himself the sufferings of Christ

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Alleluia (Plainchant)

GOSPEL LUKE Martha and Mary

APOSTLES’ CREED I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen
