A Steward’s Prayer

Dear Jesus,Help me to understand that my parish is composed of people like me.I help make it what it is.It will be friendly, if I am.It will be holy, if I am.Its pews will be filled,if I help fill them.It will do great work, if I work.It will be prayerful, if I pray.It will make generous gifts to many causes,if I am a generous giver.It will bring others into worship,if I invite and bring them in.It will be a place of loyalty and love,of fearlessness and faith,of compassion, charity, and mercy,if I, who help make it what it is,am filled with these same things.

Therefore, I beg you, Jesus,for the grace I need to dedicate myself to the task of being all the thingsthat I want my parish to be.

Amen.

EntranceThere’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy

There’s a wideness in God’s mercy




Like the wideness of the sea;There’s a kindness in God’s justiceWhich is more than liberty.There is plentiful redemptionIn the blood that has been shed;There is joy for all the membersIn the sorrows of the Head.

For the love of God is broaderThan the measures of the mind;And the heart of the EternalIs most wonderfully kind.If our love were but more faithful,We should rest upon God’s word;And our lives would be thanksgivingFor the goodness of our Lord.

1st ReadingWis 1:13-15; 2:23-24

God did not make death, nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living.For he fashioned all things that they might have being; and the creatures of the world are wholesome,and there is not a destructive drug among them nor any domain of the netherworld on earth,




for justice is undying.For God formed man to be imperishable; the image of his own nature he made him.But by the envy of the devil, death entered the world, and they who belong to his company experience it.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 30: I Will Praise You, Lord (Duncan)

I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.

I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up,and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.O LORD, you have lifted up my soul from the grave,restored me to life from those who sink into the pit.


Sing psalms to the LORD, you faithful ones;give thanks to his holy name.His anger lasts a moment; his favor all through life.At night come tears, but dawn brings joy.


Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me;be my helper, O LORD.You have changed my mourning into dancing.O LORD my God, I will thank you forever.

2nd Reading2 Cor 8:7, 9, 13-15

Brothers and sisters:As you excel in every respect, in faith, discourse,knowledge, all earnestness, and in the love we have for you,may you excel in this gracious act also.

For you know the gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ,that though he was rich, for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich.Not that others should have relief while you are burdened,but that as a matter of equalityyour abundance at the present time should supply their needs,so that their abundance may also supply your needs,that there may be equality.As it is written: Whoever had much did not have more, and whoever had little did not have less.

GospelMk 5:21-43

When Jesus had crossed again in the boatto the other side,




a large crowd gathered around him, and he stayed close to the sea.One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward.Seeing him he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him, saying,“My daughter is at the point of death.Please, come lay your hands on herthat she may get well and live.”He went off with him,and a large crowd followed him and pressed upon him.

There was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years.She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctorsand had spent all that she had.Yet she was not helped but only grew worse.She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowdand touched his cloak.She said, “If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.”Immediately her flow of blood dried up.She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.Jesus, aware at once that power had gone out from him,turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who has touched my clothes?”But his disciples said to Jesus,“You see how the crowd is pressing upon you,and yet you ask, ‘Who touched me?’”And he looked around to see who had done it.The woman, realizing what had happened to her,approached in fear and trembling.She fell down before Jesus and told him the whole truth.He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you.Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.”




While he was still speaking,people from the synagogue official’s house arrived and said,“Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?” Disregarding the message that was reported,Jesus said to the synagogue official,“Do not be afraid; just have faith.”He did not allow anyone to accompany him insideexcept Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.When they arrived at the house of the synagogue official,he caught sight of a commotion,people weeping and wailing loudly.So he went in and said to them,“Why this commotion and weeping?The child is not dead but asleep.”And they ridiculed him.Then he put them all out.He took along the child’s father and motherand those who were with himand entered the room where the child was.He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum,”which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!”The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around.At that they were utterly astounded.He gave strict orders that no one should know thisand said that she should be given something to eat.

Offertory SongDraw Us in the Spirit’s Tether

Draw us in the Spirit’s tether,For when humbly in your nameTwo or three are met together,You are in the midst of them.




Alleluia! Alleluia!Touch we now your garment’s hem.

As disciples used to gatherIn the name of Christ to sup,Then with thanks to God the FatherBreak the bread and bless the cup.Alleluia! Alleluia!So now bind our friendship up.

All our meals and all our livingMake as sacraments of you,That by caring, helping, giving,We may be disciples true.Alleluia! Alleluia!We will serve with faith anew.

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,I believe that You are presentin the Most Holy Sacrament.I love You above all things,and I desire to receive You into my soul.Since I cannot at this momentreceive You sacramentally,come at least spiritually into my heart.I embrace You as if You were already thereand unite myself wholly to You.




Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen

Communion SongI 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 meunless the Father beckons.

And I will raise you up,and I will raise you up,and I will raise you up on the last day.

The bread that I will giveis my flesh for the life of the world,and if you eat of this bread,you shall live for ever,you shall live for ever.

And I will raise you up,and I will raise you up,and I will raise you up on the last day.Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Manand drink of his blood,and drink of his blood,you shall not have life within you.





I am the Resurrection,I am the life.If you believe in me,even though you die,you shall live for ever.


Yes, Lord, we believethat you are the Christ,the Son of God,Who has comeinto the world.
