Prelude King of Kings Hillsong Worship

Verse Verse

In the darkness we were waiting And the morning that You rose

Without hope without light All of heaven held its breath

Till from Heaven You came running Till that stone was moved for good

There was mercy in Your eyes For the Lamb had conquered death

To fulfil the law and prophets And the dead rose from their tombs

To a virgin came the Word And the angels stood in awe

From a throne of endless glory For the souls of all who'd come To a cradle in the dirt To the Father are restored

Chorus Verse

Praise the Father, Praise the Son And the Church of Christ was born

Praise the Spirit three in one Then the Spirit lit the flame

God of Glory, Majesty Now this Gospel truth of old

Praise forever to the King of Kings Shall not kneel shall not faint

By His blood and in His Name

Verse In His freedom I am free

To reveal the kingdom coming For the love of Jesus Christ

And to reconcile the lost Who has resurrected me

To redeem the whole creation

You did not despise the cross

For even in Your suffering

You saw to the other side

Knowing this was our salvation

Jesus for our sake You died

╬ Liturgy of the Word ╬

First Reading Acts of the Apostles 8:5-8, 14-17

Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them. With one accord, the crowds paid attention to what was said by Philip when they heard it and saw the signs he was doing. For unclean spirits, crying out in a loud voice, came out of many possessed people, and many paralyzed or crippled people were cured. There was great joy in that city.

Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent them Peter and John, who went down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit, for it had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 33:1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 16, 20

Second Reading 1 Peter 3:15-18

Beloved: Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence, keeping your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who defame your good conduct in Christ may themselves be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that be the will of God, than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous, that he might lead you to God. Put to death in the flesh, he was brought to life in the Spirit.

Gospel Acclamation John 14:23

Whoever loves me will keep my word, says the Lord, and my Father will love him and we will come to him.

Gospel John 14:15-21

Jesus said to his disciples: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows him. But you know him, because he remains with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”

Prayer of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come 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.
