SMC English Mass - 29th Week Ordinary Time


ENTRANCE HYMN


Turn to Me

* Turn to Me, O turn, and be saved, says the Lord, for I am God.
There is no other, none be-side Me. I call your name. 

1. I am He that comforts you: Who are you to be afraid.
Of flesh that fades, is made like the grass of the field, soon to wither. 

2. Listen to Me, My people. Give ear to Me, My nation.
A law will go forth from Me and My justice for a light, to the people. *


Gloria

Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to people of good will. 

We praise You. We bless You. We adore you. We glorify You. We give You thanks for Your great glory.  Lord God, heavenly King, O God almighty Father. 


Lord Jesus Christ, Only-begotten Son. Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father: you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. You take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. You are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. 


For you alone are the Holy One. You alone are the Lord. You alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in the glory of God the Father. Amen.



1st Reading – Isaiah 45:1, 4-6


Thus says the LORD to his anointed, Cyrus, whose right hand I grasp, subduing nations before him, and making kings run in his service, opening doors before him and leaving the gates unbarred: For the sake of Jacob, my servant, of Israel, my chosen one, I have called you by your name, giving you a title, though you knew me not. I am the LORD and there is no other, there is no God besides me. It is I who arm you, though you know me not, so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun people may know that there is none besides me. I am the LORD, there is no other.


Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 96:1, 3, 4-5, 7-8, 9-10

R. Give the Lord glory and honor.


Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all you lands. Tell his glory among the nations;

among all peoples, his wondrous deeds.

R. Give the Lord glory and honor.


For great is the LORD and highly to be praised;

awesome is he, beyond all gods. For all the gods of the nations are things of nought, but the LORD made the heavens.

R. Give the Lord glory and honor.


Give to the LORD, you families of nations, give to the LORD glory and praise; give to the LORD the glory due his name! Bring gifts, and enter his courts.

R. Give the Lord glory and honor.


Worship the LORD, in holy attire; tremble before him, all the earth; say among the nations: The LORD is king, he governs the peoples with equity.

R. Give the Lord glory and honor.


2nd Reading – 1 Thessalonians 1:1-5B


Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you and peace. We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasingly

calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father, knowing, brothers and sisters loved by God, how you were chosen. For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with much conviction.


Alleluia – Philippians 2:15D, 16A

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Shine like lights in the world as you hold on to the word of life.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.


Gospel – Matthew 22:15-21


The Pharisees went off and plotted how they might entrap Jesus in speech. They sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. And you are not concerned with anyone’s opinion, for you do not regard a person’s status. Tell us, then, what is your opinion: Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?” Knowing their malice, Jesus said, “Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? Show me the coin that pays the census tax.” Then they handed him the Roman coin. He said to them, “Whose image is this and whose inscription?” They replied, “Caesar’s.” At that he said to them, “Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.”



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, 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.


Santus


Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts. 

Heaven and earth are full of your glory. 

Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. 

Hosanna in the highest. 



COMMUNION HYMN


Turn to Me - Music Only


* Turn to Me, O turn, and be saved, says the Lord, for I am God.
There is no other, none be-side Me. I call your name. 

1. I am He that comforts you: Who are you to be afraid.
Of flesh that fades, is made like the grass of the field, soon to wither. 

2. Listen to Me, My people. Give ear to Me, My nation.
A law will go forth from Me and My justice for a light, to the people

3. Lift up your eyes to the heavens. And look at the earth down below.
The heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out, like a garment. 



Spiritual Communion 


My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.



RECESSIONAL HYMN


Glory & Praise to our God

* Glory and praise to our God who alone gives light to our days.
Many are the blessings He bears to those who trust in His ways. 

1.  We, the daughters and sons of Him who built the valleys and plains.
Praise the wonders our God has done, in ev'ry heart that sings.

2. God has watered our barren land and sent His merciful rain.
Now the rivers of life run full for anyone to drink.
