Processional: Here I Am, Lord
Jesus spoke to crowds of people, saying that those who hear the Word and understand it will bear fruit. Through the words of our hymn, we reaffirm that we have heard his call and will continue to persevere in following the words of Jesus Christ and to the teachings of the Catholic Church, especially when thorns appear throughout our daily lives and threaten to choke us. ~ Sofia Scattarreggia, soprano, and Margaret-Mary Owens, organ Psalm 23: R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. He guides me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side with your rod and your staff that give me courage. You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come. Offertory: The King of Love My Shepherd Is Our Offertory hymn directly reflects the words of Psalm 23, which tells us of our Lord's goodness and desire to lead us when we choose to follow Him. Our faithfulness will be justly rewarded all the days of our life. Communion: Give Thanks and Remember In our Communion hymn, we sing of His gift to us: the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ in the form of simple bread and wine, given freely to us so that we may believe and follow Him as the disciples did 2000 years ago. Post-Communion: Jesus my Lord, My God, My All Our post-communion hymn for the month of July is intended to remind us that above all things, we must cherish our Lord, who is all good. Through him, all things are possible. Recessional: Lord of All Hopefulness God is present in every moment of our lives, whether we’re aware of it or not. With each stanza of this hymn, we invite Him into our hearts and ask Him to watch over us as we wake, work, travel, and sleep.
