Psalm Response Gospel Acclamation

Nicene Creed 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, (all bow) 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.

Communion Chant: That All May Be One in Christ

Verses

1. God, Creator of us all, you have called us each by name. Many faces, some that are new, make us one in you.

2. God, you sent your only Son, to become the Savior of the world. Feed us with the Bread of Life; make us one in Christ.

3. God, you breathe upon the earth. Send your Spirit into our lives. Change our hearts to fashion anew the love we find in you.

Let Us Be Bread

1. I am the bread of life, broken for all. Eat now and hunger no more.

2. You are my friends if you keep my commands, no longer servants but friends.

3. See how my people have nothing to eat. Give them the bread that is you.

4. As God has loved me so I have loved you. Go and live in my love.

Tu eres mi refugio; me rodeas de cantos de liberación. Tu eres mi refugio; me rodeas de cantos de liberación.

Aclamación del Evangelio Page 5

Credo Niceno Creo en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra. Creo en un solo Señor, Jesucristo, Hijo único de Dios, nacido del Padre antes de todos los siglos: Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz, Dios verdadero de Dios verdadero, engendrado, no creado, de la misma naturaleza del Padre, por quien todo fue hecho; que por nosotros, los hombres, y por nuestras salvación bajó del cielo, Todos se inclinan: Y por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarnó de María, la Virgen, y se hizo hombre; Y por nuestra causa fue crucificado en tiempos de Poncio Pilato; padeció y fue sepultado, y resucitó al tercer día, según las Escrituras, y subió al cielo, y está sentado a la derecha del Padre; y de nuevo vendrá con gloria para juzgar a vivos y muertos, y su reino no tendrá fin. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida, que procede del Padre y el Hijo, que con el Padre y el Hijo recibe una misma adoración y gloria, y que habló por los profetas. Creo en la Iglesia, que es una, santa, católica y apostólica. Confieso que hay un solo bautismo para el perdón de los pecados. Espero la resurrección de los muertos y la vida del mundo futuro. Amén.

Preparación de las Ofrendas: Cristo, Sáname

Santo, santo, santo es el Señor, Dios del universo. Llenos están el cielo y la tierra de tu gloria. Hosanna.

Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor. ¡Hosanna en el cielo, hosanna! (Estribillo)

Misterio de la Fe Anunciamos tu muerte, proclamamos tu resurrección. Ven, Señor, ven, Señor, ven, Señor Jesús.

Amén

Give and it will be given unto – XII

“May God who has begun the good work in you bring it completion” – a quote from the various rites seminarians pass through on their way to ordination, quoting from Paul’s letter to the Philippians. When I went to the seminary I was told I could not work, and that my needs would be taken care of. We received $150.00 per month to cover incidental expenses; our room and board, books and tuition were covered by the Diocese of Oakland. I went from making a pretty good salary working in the hospital to nearly nothing per month, but somehow I always had money in my pocket. I continued tithing, but I also had to pay car insurance and gas, and still there was enough. When I looked at the numbers it was impossible, but God provided. People often say priests are unrealistic about money, especially when we ask hardworking people in the pews to give to the parish, the Diocese or some other cause. But if my hunch about giving is right, how we handle our money and how generous we are is actually a spiritual issue. If we believe God is calling us to walk in faith with him, will he not bring the good work to completion? When our spirituality results in action, we are no longer in “wishful thinking mode” but actually putting one foot in front of the other to follow Jesus. Literally. IHM pray for us. Fr. Jerry

Dad y se os Dara – XII “Qué Dios quién empezó la Buena obra en ti lo lleve a terminar.” Es una nota de varios ritos de seminarios pasando en sus caminos para la ordenación, citando de la carta de Pablo a los Filipenses. Cuando yo fui al seminario me dijeron que no podia trabajar y que se encargarian de mis necesidades. Nosotros recibiamos $150 al mes para nuestros gastos; nuestra vivienda, libros y la matriculación fueron cubiertos por la Diócesis de Oakland. Fui de ganar un buen sueldo trabajando en el hospital a casi nada por mes, pero de alguna manera siempre tenia dinero en mi bolsillo. Continue donando pero tenia que pagar seguro del automóvil, gasolina, y todavia tenia suficiente. Cuando veo a los numeros era imposible, pero Dios suministró. La gente a veces dicen que los sacerdotes no son realistas sobre el dinero, especialmente cuando nosotros pedimos a la gente que trabaja tan fuerte sentados en los bancos que den a la parroquia, la Diócesis o cuálquier otra causa. Pero si mi presentimiento sobre dar es correcto, como manejamos nuestro dinero y que prósperos somos es actualmente un caso espiritual. Si nosotros creemos que Dios nos está llamando a caminar en fé con él, no estará él completando la buena obra? Llevando la buena obra a conclusión? Cuando nuestro espiritualismo resulta en acción, nosotros no estamos más “Es un modo de pensar deseoso” pero actualmente poniendo un pie enfrente del otro para seguir a Jesús. Literalmente. Ora por nosotros Fr. Jerry
