PROCESSIONAL HYMN
Heart of Jesus, meek & mild #109 P.36
1. Heart of Jesus, meek and mild
Hear, oh hear, Thy feeble child
When the tempest most severe, Heart of Jesus, hear
* Sweetly we'll rest on Thy sacred heart
Never from Thee, oh let us part
Hear then, Thy loving children's prayer
O Heart of Jesus, Heart of Jesus, hear
2. Make me Jesus wholly Thine
Take this wayward heart of mine
Guide me through this world so drear, Heart of Jesus, hear

1st Reading – Exodus 19:2-6a
In those days, the Israelites came to the desert of Sinai and pitched camp. While Israel was encamped here in front of the mountain,
Moses went up the mountain to God.
Then the LORD called to him and said,
“Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob;
tell the Israelites: You have seen for yourselves how I treated the Egyptians and how I bore you up on eagle wings and brought you here to myself.
Therefore, if you hearken to my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my special possession, dearer to me than all other people, though all the earth is mine.
You shall be to me a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.”
All: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 100:1-2, 3, 5
R. We are His people, the sheep of His flock.
Sing joyfully to the Lord, all you lands; serve the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful song.
R. We are His people, the sheep of His flock.
Know that the LORD is God; he made us, his we are; his people, the flock he tends.
R. We are His people, the sheep of His flock.
The LORD is good: his kindness endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
R. We are His people, the sheep of His flock.
2nd Reading – Romans 5:6-11
Brothers and sisters:
Christ, while we were still helpless,
yet died at the appointed time for the ungodly.
Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person, though perhaps for a good person
one might even find courage to die.
But God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
How much more then, since we are now justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath. Indeed, if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, once reconciled, will we be saved by his life.
Not only that, but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
All: Thanks be to God.
Alleluia – Mark 1:15
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
The Kingdom of God is at Hand; repent and believe in the Gospel.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel – Matthew 9:36-10:8
At the sight of the crowds, Jesus’ heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”
Then he summoned his twelve disciples
and gave them authority over unclean spirits
to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. The names of the twelve apostles are these:
first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector;
James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus;
Simon from Cana, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.
Jesus sent out these twelve after instructing them thus, “Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons.
Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.”
All: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ.
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.

COMMUNION HYMN
On Eagles's Wing #226 P.74
1. You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abide in His shadow for life
Say to the Lord: "My refuge, my Rock in whom I trust!
* And He will raise you up on eagle's wings, bear you on the breath of dawn

Under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield
3. You need not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day
Though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come

Upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall never be in need
Fresh and green are the meadows where He gives me rest

RECESSIONAL HYMN
Though the mountains may fall #306 P.100
* Though the mountains may fall and the hill turn to dust
Yet the love of the Lord will stand
As a shelter for all who will call on His name
Sing the praise and the glory of God
1. Could the Lord ever leave you? Could the Lord forget His love?
Though a mother forsake her child, He will not abandon you
2. Should you turn and forsake Him, He will gently call your name
Should you wander away from Him, He will always take you back
3. Go to Him when you're weary, He will give you eagles wings
You will run, never tire, for your God will be your strength
4. As He swore to your fathers, when the flood destroyed the land
He will never forsake you, He will swear to you again
