ENTRY Bind us together Lord bind us together with cords that cannot be broken Bind us together Lord, bind us together Lord, bind us together in love. There is only one God, there is only one King. There is only one body that is why we sing Fit for the glory of God purchased by his precious blood. Born with the right to be free Jesus the victory has won. We are the family of God, we are his promise divine, we are his chosen desire, we are the glorious new wine.

THE WORD this year is based on the Gospel of LUKE. The first reading (from the Old Testament) is linked to the Gospel passage. The second reading (from St Paul) is continuous but not connected to the other readings.

FIRST READING WISDOM A chosen people

Psalm 18 Response: He fills the earth with his love

EPISTLE HEBREWS The faith of Abraham

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Alleluia (Plainchant)

GOSPEL LUKE Where your money is, there is your heart

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

PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL In response to the Gospel, anyone may try and say a prayer, ending: Lord in your mercy….. Missal suggests 4 intentions That our church might….. That our society might….. That our parish might….. At this special time we might.. PLEASE NOTE: these prayers are for us here.
