PROCESSIONAL HYMN
Lullaby #195 P.64
1. Come, gather 'round and
Sing your songs of praise before the Lord who cares for us
Lord, promise me that when I wake up from my dreams
You'll be there by my side
* Lord, lead my way, I won't go astray
Then I can go searching for forever more
And I won't rest until I know that
You will be here every moment by my side
2. Pray, to the Lord that we will always live in peace
And joy within His love
Please set me free and take me to the Father
In the land of paradise

1st Reading – Wisdom 2:12, 17-20
The wicked say:
Let us beset the just one, because he is obnoxious to us; he sets himself against our doings, reproaches us for transgressions of the lawband charges us with violations of our training.
Let us see whether his words be true; let us find out what will happen to him.
For if the just one be the son of God, God will defend him
and deliver him from the hand of his foes.
With revilement and torture let us put the just one to the test that we may have proof of his gentleness and try his patience.
Let us condemn him to a shameful death; for according to his own words, God will take care of him.
All: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 54:3-4, 5, 6 and 8
R. The Lord upholds my life.
O God, by your name save me, and by your might defend my cause.
O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.
R. The Lord upholds my life.
For the haughty men have risen up against me, the ruthless seek my life; they set not God before their eyes.
R. The Lord upholds my life.
Behold, God is my helper; the Lord sustains my life.
Freely will I offer you sacrifice; I will praise your name, O LORD, for its goodness.
R. The Lord upholds my life.
2nd Reading - James 3:16 - 4:3
Beloved: Where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every foul practice.
But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without inconstancy or insincerity.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those who cultivate peace.
Where do the wars and where do the conflicts among you come from?
Is it not from your passions that make war within your members?
You covet but do not possess. You kill and envy but you cannot obtain; you fight and wage war. You do not possess because you do not ask. You ask but do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
All: Thanks be to God.
Alleluia – Cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:14
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
God has called us through the Gospel to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel – Mark 9:30-37
Jesus and his disciples left from there and began a journey through Galilee, but he did not wish anyone to know about it.
He was teaching his disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill him, and three days after his death the Son of Man will rise.”
But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question him.
They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, he began to ask them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” But they remained silent.
They had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest.
Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.”
Taking a child, he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it, he said to them, “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.”
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.

RECESSIONAL HYMN
Song of blessing #275 P.89
* The Lord let His face shine down upon you. The sun rise up to meet you on your way
The spirit of His love invade the circle of your friends
Your vision keep you changing day by day
1. Good times be the jingle in your pocket
Life's hearth-stone there to warm you when you rise
Forgiving and for growing be the way you know your soul
The heart be always open to surprise
Your life find all its seasons in the hollow of His hand
His heart will be the ocean, storing all your footprints in the sand
2. Falling down the only London's bridges
Down and out be only words for rhyme
A suitcase full of dreams be all that weights your body down
Your life pour out like sweet and good red wine
And time will tell your story, we will listen once again
Your song will have its moment, leave your sign on the forehead of a friend
3. Your rest be peaceful, sleep a fond companion
And wonder mark the roads you need to roam
If death should carve a canyon in between us for while
Then sing this song for me till I come home
