Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton P arish WEEKL Y MISSAL BULLETIN · 7/19/2020 · The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest

He proposed another parable to them.

“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed

that a person took and sowed in a field.

It is the smallest of all the seeds,

yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants.

It becomes a large bush,

and the ‘birds of the sky

come and dwell in its branches.’”

—Matthew 13

PENITENTIAL RITE

GREETING

ENTRANCE HYMN(sung by cantor)There’s a wideness in God’s mercyLike the wideness of the sea;There’s a kindness in his justiceWhich is more than liberty.There is plentiful redemptionIn the blood that has been shed;There is joy for all the membersIn the sorrows of the Head.

For the love of God is broaderThan the measures of our mind,And the heart of the EternalIs most wonderfully kind.

Text: 87 87 D; Frederick W. Faber, 1814–1863, alt. Music: Oude en Nieuwe Hollantse Boerenlieties en Contredansen, ca. 1710.

If our love were but more simpleWe should take him at his word,And our lives would be thanksgivingFor the goodness of our Lord.

Troubled souls, why will you scatterLike a crowd of frightened sheep?Foolish hearts, why will you wanderFrom a love so true and deep?There is welcome for the sinnerAnd more graces for the good;There is mercy with the Savior,There is healing in his blood.

Introductory Rites

ENTRANCE ANTIPHONSee, I have God for my help.The Lord sustains my soul.

Psalm 54:6, 8

I will sacrifice to you with willing heart,and praise your name, O Lord, for it is good.

There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy


Order of the Mass

Show favor, O Lord, to your servantsand mercifully increase the gifts of your grace,that, made fervent in hope, faith and charity,they may be ever watchful in keeping your commands.

COLLECTThrough our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,one God, for ever and ever.

A READING FROM THE BOOK OF WISDOM Wisdom 12:13, 16-19

There is no god besides you who have the care of all,that you need show you have not unjustly condemned.For your might is the source of justice;your mastery over all things makes you lenient to all.For you show your mightwhen the perfection of your power is disbelieved;and in those who know you, you rebuke temerity.But though you are master of might,

you judge with clemency,and with much lenience you govern us;for power, whenever you will, attends you.And you taught your people, by these deeds,that those who are just must be kind;and you gave your children good ground for hopethat you would permit repentance for their sins.

Liturgy of the Word

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 86:5-6, 9-10, 15-16

(R.) Lord, you are good and forgiving.

You, O LORD, are good and forgiving,abounding in kindness to all who call upon you.Hearken, O LORD, to my prayerand attend to the sound of my pleading.


All the nations you have madeshall come and worship you, O LORD,and glorify your name.For you are great, and you do wondrous deeds;you alone are God.


You, O LORD, are a God merciful and gracious,slow to anger, abounding in kindness and fidelity.Turn toward me, and have pity on me;give your strength to your servant.


A READING FROM THE LETTER OF SAINT PAUL TO THE ROMANSBrothers and sisters:The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness;for we do not know how to pray as we ought,but the Spirit himself intercedeswith inexpressible groanings.

And the one who searches heartsknows what is the intention of the Spirit,because he intercedes for the holy onesaccording to God’s will.

Romans 8:26-27


Order of the Mass

A READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW Matthew 13:24-43

Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying:“The kingdom of heaven may be likenedto a man who sowed good seed in his field.While everyone was asleep his enemy cameand sowed weeds all through the wheat,and then went off.When the crop grew and bore fruit,the weeds appeared as well.The slaves of the householder came to him and said,‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field?Where have the weeds come from?’He answered, ‘An enemy has done this.’His slaves said to him,‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’He replied, ‘No, if you pull up the weedsyou might uproot the wheat along with them.Let them grow together until harvest;then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters,“First collect the weedsand tie them in bundles for burning;but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

He proposed another parable to them.“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seedthat a person took and sowed in a field.It is the smallest of all the seeds,yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants.It becomes a large bush,and the ‘birds of the skycome and dwell in its branches.’”

He spoke to them another parable.“The kingdom of heaven is like yeast

that a woman took and mixedwith three measures of wheat flouruntil the whole batch was leavened.”

All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables.He spoke to them only in parables,to fulfill what had been said through the prophet:I will open my mouth in parables,I will announce what has lain hiddenfrom the foundation of the world.

Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house.His disciples approached him and said,“Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”He said in reply, “He who sows good seedis the Son of Man,the field is the world,the good seed the children of the kingdom.The weeds are the children of the evil one,and the enemy who sows them is the devil.The harvest is the end of the age,and the harvesters are angels.Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire,so will it be at the end of the age.The Son of Man will send his angels,and they will collect out of his kingdomall who cause others to sin and all evildoers.They will throw them into the fiery furnace,where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.Then the righteous will shine like the sunin the kingdom of their Father.Whoever has ears ought to hear.”

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION(R.) Alleluia, alleluia.Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth;you have revealed to little onesthe mysteries of the kingdom.

Cf. Matthew 11:25

COMMUNION MEDITATION

Distribution of Holy Communion

Christ, Be Our LightBernadette Farrell

1. Longing for light, we wait in darkness Longing for truth, we turn to you. Make us your own, your holy people light for the world to see.

(R.) Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the darkness. Christ, be our light! Shine in your church gathered today.

2. Longing for peace, our world is troubled. Longing for hope, many despair. Your word alone has pow’r to save us. Make us your living voice.


3. Longing for food, many are hungry. Longing for water, many still thirst. Make us your bread, broken for others, shared until all are fed.


4. Longing for shelter, many are homeless. Longing for warmth, many are cold. Make us your building, sheltering others, walls made of living stone.


5. Many the gifts, many the people, many the hearts that yearn to belong. Let us be servants to one another, making your kingdom come.
