The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, For his mercy endures forever. It is better to take refuge in the Lord Than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord Than to trust in princes. I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me And have been my savior. The stone which the builders rejected Has become the cornerstone. By the Lord has this been done; It is wonderful in our eyes.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; For his kindness endures forever. Gospel Acclamation ~ Matt Alexander “I am the good shepherd, says the Lord. I know my sheep, and mine know me.” (Jn 10: 14) Offertory Antiphon: O God, my God, from daybreak do I watch for you; and in invocation of your name will I lift up my hands. (Ps 63: 2, 5) Let us, like Peter, boldly proclaim the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean! It is through Him alone that there is salvation. May we center our lives accordingly. The King of Love The King of love my shepherd is, whose goodness faileth never. I nothing lack if I am his, and he is mine forever. Where streams of living water flow, my ransomed soul he leadeth; and where the verdant pastures grow, with food celestial feedeth. ~ Sofia and Margaret Communion Antiphon: I am the good shepherd, alleluia; I know my sheep and my own know me, alleluia, alleluia.
