Sing of the Lord’s Goodness

Sing of the Lord’s goodness, Father of all wisdom,

Faithful to the end of days.

Melodies of praise and thanks to God. Ring out the Lord’s glory, Praise him with your music,

Worship him and bless his name.

OFFERTORY HYMN: God of My Salvation

Lord you are the God of my salvation: I trust in you and have no fear.

I sing of the joy which your love gives to me, And I draw deeply from the springs of your great kindness

Open our eyes to the wonder of this moment, The beginning of another day.

Be with us, Lord, as we break through

with each other, To find the truth and beauty of each friend.

When ev’ning comes and our day of toil is over,

Give us rest, O Lord, in the joy of many friends.

Take us beyond the vision of this day to the Deep and wide ways of your infinite love and life. © G. Norbert OSB 1972 – Weston Priory

DURING COMMUNION: We Will Rise Again

Like a shepherd I will feed you; I will gather you with care.

I will lead you and hold you Close to my heart.

We will run and not grow weary,

For our God will be our strength, And we will fly like the eagle,

We will rise again.

I am strength to the weary, To the weak I am new life.

Though the young may grow weary; I will be their hope.

Lift up your eyes,

And see who made the stars. I lead you, and I know you, I call you each by name.

Fear not, I am with you; I am your God. I will strengthen you, and help you;

Uphold you with my hand. By David Haas © 1985 – OCP Publications

RECESSIONAL: Now Thank We All Our God

Now thank we all our God With hearts and hands and voices, Who wondrous things hath done, In whom his world rejoices; Who, from our mothers’ arms, Hath blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love, And still is ours today.

O may this gracious God Through all our life be near us, With ever joyful hearts And blessed peace to cheer us; Preserve us in his grace, And guide us in distress And free us from all sin Till heaven we possess.

All praise and thanks to God The Father now be given, The Son and Spirit blest, Who reigns in highest heaven, Eternal Triune God, Whom earth and heav’n adore. For thus it was, is now, And shall be evermore.

REFLECTION Like the other nine lepers, the Samaritan was cured of his skin disease. Unlike the other nine, he thanked

Jesus and expressed faith in Jesus as the agent of his divine healing. Only to him did Jesus say: ‘Your

faith has brought you salvation.’

So, ‘salvation’ is evidently more than physical cure. Every aspect of this man’s personality, bodily,

socially, relationship with God, was made whole. Being brought to this ‘holistic’ situation we call

‘salvation’.

This Gospel assures us that there is nothing which makes me ‘taboo’ to Jesus. Jesus is only too willing to

reach out to that part of me which is dis-eased, ill-at-ease with myself, other people, creation, or God.

Having faith in Him allows the full force of His love to heal me, to take effect.

We could pause for a moment to pray that we might join the Samaritan walking along the road to final

salvation, praising God. © Fr Michael Tate
