Opening Hymn: Mary, Woman of the Promise (music by Edward Elgar, text by Mary Frances Fleischaker)

[Verse 1]Mary, woman of the promise;Vessel of your people's dreams,Through your open, willing spiritWaters of God's goodness streamed.

[Verse 2]Mary, song of holy wisdom,Sung before the world began,Faithful to the Word within, youCarried out God's wondrous plan.

[Verse 3]Mary, morning star of justice;Mirror of the radiant light,In the shadows of life's journey,Be a beacon for our sight.

[Verse 4]Mary, model of compassion;Wounded by your offspring's pain,When our hearts are torn by sorrow,Teach us how to love again.

[Verse 5]Mary, woman of the Gospel;Humble home for treasured seed,Help us to be true disciplesBearing fruit in word and deed.

Reading 1: Joshua 1:1-9A Reading from the Book of Joshua

After Moses, the servant of the LORD, had died, the LORD said to Moses’ aide Joshua, son of Nun: “Moses my servant is dead. So now, you and the whole people with you, prepare to cross the Jordan to the land that I will give the Israelites.

Every place where you set foot I have given you, as I promised Moses. All the land of the Hittites, from the wilderness and the Lebanon east to the great river Euphrates and west to the Great Sea, will be your territory. No one can withstand you as long as you live.

As I was with Moses, I will be with you: I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and steadfast, so that you may give this people possession of the land I swore to their ancestors that I would give them. Only be strong and steadfast, being careful to observe the entire law which Moses my servant enjoined on you. Do not swerve from it either to the right or to the left, that you may succeed wherever you go. Do not let this book of the law depart from your lips. Recite it by day and by night, that you may carefully observe all that is written in it; then you will attain your goal; then you will succeed.

I command you: be strong and steadfast! Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD, your God, is with you wherever you go.

The Word of the Lord.

Reading 2From Blessed William Joseph Chaminade

I am like a brook that makes no effort to overcome obstacles in its way. All the obstacles can do is hold me up for a while, as a brook is held up; but during that time it grows broader and deeper, and after a while it overflows the obstruction and flows along again. That is how I am going to do my work.
